Ronnie M Holiday Lookbook

December 9, 2016

Get ready, my dears, for some serious holiday outfit inspiration!
I was so elated when owner Veronica asked me to once again model for the Ronnie M Holiday Lookbook. This time around, she’s added some gorgeous layering pieces, like ponchos, tank tops, scarves, and lightweight long-sleeved tees, along with her signature stacked stone and chain bracelets. For the upcoming party season, she’s added rhinestone beads for extra sparkle. I’m particularly fond of the buffalo plaid and ombre ponchos, because I think they’re the ideal finishing element to a casual cold-weather outfit. The session was shot by my dear friend, and badass photographer, Holli Zenko. We always have the most fun when shooting, and I’m sure she has to sort through countless pictures of me snorting and generally distorting my face from laughing so hard. We make it work, though! 😉

Ronnie M Jewelry Fall Lookbook

November 16, 2016

Hello, my dears!
I am so excited to bring to you all a new collaboration between myself and Ronnie M Jewelry. As you may know, I’ve modeled for several local brands and boutiques before, doing a bit of modeling and styling for them. I actually met Veronica, (owner and designer of Ronnie M Jewelry), through one of these collabs and we instantly clicked. I loved her dedication and passion for her craft, not to mention, her jewelry and personality definitely stood out from the rest. When she asked me to model for the Ronnie M Jewelry fall lookbook, I was totally up for it!
This collection is all about those gorgeous fall tones of burgundy, grey, amber, and plum, with a hint of sparkle to welcome the upcoming holidays. I usually gravitate towards her stackable bracelets, (I own a few), but after our shoot, now have several of her wrap bracelets and a particular chunky knit infinity scarf (that’s currently on sale!!) on my wishlist. What’s better to wrap around your neck when the cool weather starts to roll in than something super nubby, crazy soft, and in the hottest color of the season? Also, use code “WELCOMENOVEMBER” at checkout for 15% off any purchase $75 and up through November 23rd.

Obsessed with this scarf, and the fact that it just went on sale (for $22!!). It can be worn in a single loop, or doubled up for extra warmth.

Look at all the pretty details. Blessed wrap bracelet, $205. I love how Veronica combines all of these natural stones to form a gorgeous pattern on my wrist.

Layered stone stretch bracelets, $48 and up.

Amethyst slice sueded leather wrap bracelet, $95.

Stretch stone bracelet, Key to Heaven double wrap bracelet, $115, amethyst slice wrap bracelet.

Silver Hamsa macramé bracelet, $30 (also on sale!).

Well, there it is! The Ronnie M Jewelry Fall Lookbook. We’re already working together on putting out a holiday lookbook, which I can’t wait to share with you! So what are your thoughts on the bracelets? Which is your favorite?

Graphic Minidress & Vest

October 18, 2016

Hello, loves!
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Mark and I definitely kept ourselves busy, and got so much accomplished. I love weekends like that, when you can sit down and focus on all of those little tasks you put off during the week. We started on Saturday by heading to Santa Monica for BMW’s 100 year anniversary presentation, which you may have caught a glimpse of on my Instagram stories. It was my first time using stories, so hopefully I was doing it right! We took a peek at several concept cars, sat in a drop head coupe Rolls Royce, and randomly fell in lust with the Mini Cooper Clubman. I had never seen it in person, but once I got inside, I loved how roomy it was and the surprisingly advanced technology. We ate at a little Mediterranean restaurant then headed back home to watch football and do laundry. Yesterday we stayed in, cleaning the house, more laundry (does it ever end??) and I posted about 40 items to my Poshmark account. I’m not even close to finishing cleaning my closet, but that felt like a good start. The easiest place to start is what did I not wear this past summer and what makes me think I would wear it if I held on to it to wear next year.. If there’s a dress that I haven’t touched since last year, I’m obviously over it and could stand to make a little money instead of letting it collect dust in my closet 😉

This bipolar weather has me reaching for the lightest of layers, like this gauzy, belted vest. I love how the slits on the side allow for air to pass through when you’re walking. Even though the material would typically be reserved for warmer temps, it adds a little edge to this knit mini dress, paired with the ring clutch. I remember when Alexander McQueen came out with the original of this style, and it was something like 2k. I can’t say that even if I was loaded I would pay that much for a bag, but certainly not a clutch. I was browsing on eBay one day and came across this similar style for about $20. I’ve definitely got more use out of it than expected, and my favorite time to wear it, believe it or not, is the middle of the day. Worn when it’s daylight, the bag is more quirky than badass.

What did you get up to this weekend? I’d love to hear!
Side note, this is the shortest dress I own and I was so nervous to wear it… Tights are definitely on the menu next time haha.

Layering a Midi Dress and a Giveaway!

October 15, 2016

Hello, loves!
Two things I’m excited about in this post.. Actually, three, now that I think about it! First off, it’s finally temperature-appropriate to start layering again! I’m totally in to throwing a vest or sweater over a midi dress. Print mixing could get tricky here, so I prefer to keep the pieces basic and then accessorize with something more colorful, like jewelry or a great scarf. Second, I’m so in love with these new stone pieces from Ronnie M Jewelry. The long tassel necklace and wrap bracelet are handmade by an awesome lady entrepreneur, Veronica. She’s one of those women who is so proud and excited about what she creates, her enthusiasm for the line is infectious. Her website is now live, and I’m obsessed with all of the new fall-perfect goodies.
Last but not least, I’m excited to share a giveaway that’s currently going on Instagram. I’ve partnered with I Shop Simply to give away store credit to their expansive online boutique! I love this site because the inventory is constantly being updated with of-the-moment dresses, skirts, and tops, along with basics like tanks and tees at AMAZING prices. This midi dress, still available on the site, is only $27, and made of the softest stretch fabric. So flattering and versatile, definitely a win-win in my book! I’d also pair it with a plaid scarf and sneakers or a sparkly statement necklace and pumps. On top of that, I Shop Simply is offering 10% off to all of my readers with the code “dressedfortime” at checkout.
