I get asked often where I get my luxury items at a discount. To be honest, I scour the sites of used luxury items. Some are in new or near new condition and I pay a fraction of the retail price. Recently, I bought an Hermes belt at The Real Real and loved the product. Only regret was not buying a larger size. See below some of my luxury item picks. See how I styled my Hermès belt here and here.

I get asked a lot about my denim and denim cutoffs are no exception. When we first moved to LA, we took the family to the Silverlake farmer’s market. We got flowers, fruit and denim cutoffs. Definitely not on the list, but who doesn’t love an unexpected find?
1.Vintage LEVIS I get mine at Silverlake Farmer’s Market, check your vendors at your local market, you never know what you’ll find!
2. AEO Denim x High Rise Shortie was the best fit and length overall and did I mention under $55? High-fives all around.
3. Topshop I sized up and overall the best high rise. These look the closest to the ones I found at the market.
4. Levis have these in black, and white.
5. Asos has cute ones, and these and these are no exception.
6. One Teaspoon I like the Bandits and Le Wolves – which fit true to size.

4 Photo Tips
- My hubby’s tip is: Cropping does wonders to a photo.
- What are my favorite Instagram photo editing tools? VSCO cam and Facetune
- Have your photographer take your pictures at a low angle, it’s usually more flattering
- Basics Walls allow outfits to pop. Find a good wall! I have two faves I love here in LA, they’re pretty ‘plain,’ but they allow the colors to pop.

Partnering with Nordstrom is always a favorite job because their style and selection never disappoints, which makes my job that much easier. Today I’m going to go out on a limb and make a case for the lesser known cousin to traditional denim, the coated denim. With all the denim everywhere, it’s always good to mix it up. Here are my top 5 faves from Nordstrom. The burgundy denim boasts a post-Christmas, binge-friendly lycra waistband, a flattering leg, and not to mention, an awesome price. As soon as these arrived in the mail, I tried them on, did my usual tight-jean dance and called these a winner. As for styling tips, I went with my usual size and paired it with an oversize distressed sweater and my husband’s scarf. The latter was meant to be a Christmas gift to him, but like I always tell the kids, “Sharing is Caring.” See also how I styled a scarf with Nordstrom HERE and shop my coated denim look below. Which was your favorite?
Thank you Nordstrom for partnering on this post! All opinions are my own.

batavia – U.S. Bank Tower, 633 west 5th St, downtown. If you’re visiting Sky Space, work downtown, or just need refreshment (and really good coffee) this is worth a stop.
dinosaur coffee – 4334 west sunset blvd. (silverlake) kid friendly, outdoor seating, great lighting, and a yummy americano. Bonus: the kids loved the muffins!
urth caffé If you’re a matcha lover, order their blended or iced matcha with boba. A couple sips, and you’re hooked.
intelligentsia 3922 west sunset blvd. (silverlake) I can’t leave this place without getting a “shoefie.” Granada tile makes the vibrant blue tile, and the latte is oh so good. Bring your laptop and stay for work. Love the indoor/outdoor vibes.

I partnered with Nordstrom to share some holiday outfit inspiration, minus the ugly sweater. I’m currently loving this ruffle bodysuit (great sizing), faux fur and a pop of red clutch. Nordstrom has been offering some awesome faux fur options for the holiday season from cobalt to brown. Despite being faux, their jackets look like real fur and it bumps up the chic level for almost any outfit. For example, I would also would wear it over this slip dress. So chic.
Don’t forget there’s in-store pick up for those days you’re running behind. Oh wait, that’s everyday. There’s nothing better than picking up a bag of goodies already paid for, no lines, and no worries. It’s been a busy week with family in town, so I will try out the Nordstrom pick -up option, bring one of my kids, get hot chocolate and call it a date! Hope you have a lovely weekend.

I partnered with Nordstrom, sharing some versatile pieces I’m loving now. Namely, these faux leather leggings on major repeat! Some of my favorite purchases are the most simple: an oversize sweater (under $50), faux leather leggings (only $29), and an investment accessory: Burberry plaid scarf. I like the latter draped or loosely knotted in front. I love having options. Thankfully, Nordstrom is a one-stop shop with so many gorgeous sweaters, scarves and leggings for every price point. Not to mention, amazing customer service. I just wish I had more cold weather days to don all the sweaters, because I could wear this every day. Shop the exact look below:
heels :: leggings (only $29!) :: sweater (only $45) :: scarf :: ring :: lip Stila “beso”
