Chriselle Lim launched her collection at Nordstrom, Shopbop, and Bloomingdales TODAY. She’s a mom of two and her sister was my former agent at Next Models. I always love catching up with her at events and always inspired by her many ventures as a momboss. I’ve compiled some favorites below. Which is your favorite?

If you have a round face, rectangle, square lenses work the best. If you have a square shape face, aviators, butterflies or round sunnies are most flattering. As for oval, any shape works!

Spring is on the way, I can feel it! That might sound silly coming from someone who lives in Southern California, but I think spring is so much more than just the temperature. There’s a freshness in the air and all the new fashion trends start to show up! On a recent trip to Nordstrom, I definitely saw lots of fun new things for the season including this amazing black slip dress.
This dress is my perfect outfit in so many ways. First, it’s comfortable, which means I can chase all five kids around in it. Second, it can be dressed up or down. You can wear with sneakers or a strappy heel or sandal. Best of both worlds if you ask me.
And when it comes to shopping at Nordstrom, you all know it’s pretty much my favorite place no matter what I’m looking for. I can find stuff for the kids, me and Reid. Win-win! Plus their convenient order online and pick up in-store method is perfect for busy moms. Make sure to head in to check out all their amazing offerings for spring soon!
What are you shopping for this spring?

All opinions my own. Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post!

I’m loving the ever versatile SLIP DRESS. It’s the answer to what to wear to a wedding, date night, concert, baby shower, birthday bash or you fill in the blank. I LOVE the fit. Here I’m wearing a small. It is a snug fit, flattering v-neck, and long flowy 100% silk material. After all, the dress is inspired by the Bar Silk Shirt. Did I mention it was super comfortable? Levi left his mark towards the end of the day and spit up on it. I wiped it clean and will take it to the dry cleaners on Monday. I should have it by humpday, just in time for the weekend to style it with a knotted graphic tee and sneakers. Because it’s all about versatility.

Here are 5 ways to style a slip dress:

  1. Knotted graphic tee
  2. Cropped sweater
  3. Blazer
  4. Knit cardigan
  5. Leather jacket under $200! or Vegan Leather Jacket (with cool moto details)

What are some of your favorite ways to wear a slip dress?

trousers (I’m wearing a size small) // turtleneck bodysuit and similar for $20// Bag Polene Paris // camel booties Topshop similar // sunnies similar // turquoise rings similar // bugaboo fox stroller // black blazer this one is 40% off!

Let’s just say, I’m NEVER not into trousers. They’re the season-less often overlooked classic that sits in your closet, but has endless styling possibilities. I found these at the Shopbop sale recently and they’re much better than expected. While I purchased one too many jumpsuits that I’ll probably return, these pants are a go. I’m wearing a size small and they’re equally stretchy and quality. Here I’m wearing them with Topshop camel midi booties, no longer available, but I provided a similar pair. It really is true, you look your best when you feel your best and I feel my best in trousers.

How about you?

Every sale from this blazer from Two Penny Blue gives a school uniform to a girl in Africa. A whopping 24 million girls can’t afford to go to school. After all Diane Von Furstenberg agreed, “To empower a little girl is to empower the woman she will become.” Click here for my blazer that gives back.

I’m still NOT over leopard. Last week I scored this leopard duster on the Shopbop sale and haven’t looked back. The length was my main motivation for buying it and the softness, well that was the cherry on top! I got tons of compliments on it when I wore it Sunday. Since this one is in low stock, I’m posting more below:

I can’t tell you how excited I am that the sun is out! It has been a rainy couple of weeks in LA, and there is more to come. In the meantime, I’m stocking up on lace tops. This one doubles as a swim cover-up, dressed up with heels or dressed down with spanx leggings and a baseball cap. Which is your favorite? I feel like this gloomy weather lately is making us enjoy the brief moments of sunshine all the more! Its all about attitude right? Especially when I’m facing homework with the kids this week, so much patience, but summer is around the corner and seeing their “Ah-ha” moments are pretty special. Hope you have a great start to the week!

With jeans, I usually size down, but with faux leather leggings, I order my usual size as they normally fit true to size. These Spanx do! Showing some more faux leather leggings below:

I was so excited to finally have an excuse to break out this coat. LA is having a major cold spell and I’m loving the sweater weather! Here I’m wearing an oversize teddy coat, sweater dress (under $40), small camel bag, and tall boots. Anyone else a fan of this LA chill? I won’t deny I miss our beach days, but I don’t miss the sand clean-up!

Wanna know a trick of the trade? I’ve been a stylist for years and use this one trick when I get dressed. Here I wore stunning red pants from alice + olivia and I paired them with pointy red boots from agl.

Here’s my go-to style trick:

Wear the shoes the color of your pants for that elongated look. I get countless compliments on my pants when my shoes match my pants.  It tricks the eye into thinking the legs are longer than they really are. Did I get your attention? This works for an all camel look, monochrome white look, and if wearing jeans, style them with nude sandals or heels. It’s all about knowing simple tricks to look and feel your best.

I personally feel my best in wide leg pants, what do you feel best in?

These are under $70 // These are the one’s I’m wearing // These are $65 // These are $20!

Someone recently asked me, faux leather pants/leggings versus real leather and vice versa? I have to say, the curated wardrobe needs both. Here, I’m wearing faux leather leggings for soccer practice, a quick coffee run, and overall comfort. When I wear real leather pants , I’m usually going out. They’re more structured and the material is thicker. I wear them with a drapey tunic, or a sequin top for more drama.

Below are some cute trenches and plus one for the mister in your life:

If you are going to invest in leather pants, opt for high waisted. These are cute and I included some real leather options below:

We went to the farmers market and bought tons of veggies and made Bok Choy Soup. It’s super easy! To make it, boil 8 cups of filtered water with 2 “not chicken’ chicken broth cubes, after about 10 min of boiling, add 2 bunches of baby bok choy. Enjoy!

Who said fashion is unattainable? These leopard mules are $28

I found out this week that Chloé sunglasses are 50% off, no, that’s not a typo!

Many of my followers ask for a similar turquoise ring to mine, so here’s a similar one! Also, how cute are these earrings?

I wanna try these gummy hair vitamins. Have you tried them? If you have Golden Goose Sneakers like mine, try these NO SHOW socks, so good.

Have you tried these tan mist for the face? It has great reviews, I’m intrigued.

Just bought my daughter these GGB dupes so she can match with me. They’re a $30 Amazon no brainer.

How cute are these leopard pillows?

I haven’t bought a YETI yet to keep beverages warm. Have you?

I get asked a lot what pilates ring I use, and this is the one!
