“Fall in L.A. is noticeably much less cozy than it’s on the East Coast, however I nonetheless attempt to imbue some autumnal magic. I like dragging my household to an apple orchard, even when the temps are within the 80s. We additionally like lighting an excellent clove-y candle and watching A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.”
“Outfit-wise, I like sporting heeled Chelsea boots with attire or skirts on date nights — they add a cool, edgy vibe. Earlier than getting these, I questioned if the heel could be comfortable, however I’ve been pleasantly stunned: they don’t scrunch my extensive ft, and because of the rubber soles, I don’t really feel an oz. of decrease again ache (welcome to my 40s!). From a visible perspective, they’re timeless and elevate even the best outfits, like a jean skirt and T-shirt.”
“I’ve searched without end for a bag that holds all my mother hacks (snacks, sunscreen, wipes, markers, paper) however nonetheless appears to be like like I’ve it collectively. This leather-based bucket bag is IT. I’m amazed by how a lot it holds, but it surely’s not so cavernous that it turns right into a black gap. It additionally pairs properly with numerous outfits I personal and is a without end piece I’ll use for years and years.”

“For a wise look, black is my go-to. Maybe it’s the 12 years I spent in New York, or the lingering Ashlee Simpson section that by no means utterly left me. However once I’m going someplace dressy, I put on black. Once I get nostalgic for East Coast cynicism versus West Coast woo-woo, I put on black. Once I’m feeling my emotions, I put on black. The colour is there for me throughout emo moods, in addition to once I simply wish to appear and feel good.”
