THE ROW ON A RAINY DAY

Step into rainy day fashion with all your ducks in "The Row"

 Over the summer this raincoat traveled everywhere with me.  It's incredibly lightweight and really dresses up your casual wear.  Not only will it keep you warm you'll look super stylish strutting in the rain.  Black Raincoat- The Row / J. CREW Rain boots / BCBG Umbrella / 

Put a little spring in your step with EQUIPMENT Sunglasses / Hermès Scarf

Banana Republic Pant / Banana Republic makes clothing for petits. Their pants run very true to size.

EQUIPMENT Silk Shirt / The North Face Rain Hat /

 Feeling like a secret agent. I love the detail on the back of the trench coat

The long belt gives several styling options for making a bow or tying a simple sash.

I am crazy for these adorable J.CREW rain boots. There is a slight blue color in the heel.  These boots are lightweight, fit comfortably, and true to size.

Bring on the storms...No gloomy days here

Navy Tunic / Zara

Navy Tunic by ZARA / Stella McCartney Trouser / Chanel Heels / Chanel Clutch / Hermes Twilly

Tunics have been around for ages, literally since the time of the Romans. They made a splash in the fashion world again in the '70s, and are now enjoying a resurgence in popularity...all with a flair and sense of style and elegance. 

 Zara Navy Blue Long Tunic with side slits.  I'm 5'3 and I love how this dress flows when sitting or walking.  The slits give the tunic movement and create that flowing feeling. 

Around my wrist I wrapped a twilly by Hèrmes.  Stella McCartney Wide-Leg Crepe Trousers.

It's sexy, edgy and so comfortable. One of the most versatile pieces you can have in your wardrobe this season.

ABBOT KINNEY

It's all Abbot Kinney.  Here we are in sunny L.A., and my friend and I just hoped in my Fiat with the top back and headed to the beach, Venice Beach that is.  We felt like we were on a vacation or a stay-cation in our case.  Abbot Kinney doesn't look like it once did, but we all need to reinvent ourselves at some stage of the game.  You can still feel the renaissance and the "cool" factor of Venice Beach.  Abbot Kinney will revive your soul, bring out your creative spirit and turn you into a tourist in your own town.

One of the many large murals of Venice Beach. You can even take a walking tour to learn about the artist.
