You’ve probably heard it said that the accessories are what make an outfit. With the right accessories you can make jeans red-carpet-ready or a floor length dress laid-back enough for a picnic. I personally find it much more interesting to mix it up like that. Pairing unexpected items makes an outfit creative and cool. Here …
Capital Style
Yes, I am obsessed with blazers. I’ve talked a lot about adding interest to an outfit and a blazer is one of my favorite ways to do that. They can say you mean business or round out ripped jeans and sneakers. When I’m having one of those I-have-nothing-to-wear days a blazer in my go-to to …
Lilac Love
Follow my blog with Bloglovin It’s beginning to feel like spring! I cannot tell you how excited I am about that. Growing up in LA, spring was just a cooler summer so living in Michigan has taught me its true significance. After all the cold snow and cloudy days I am ready for a fresh …
Red All Over
In case you can’t tell from these photos, my favorite trend right now is RED! I usually am all for the monochrome and tend toward neutrals but something about this trend is so fun. I haven’t quite made it to the all red ensemble but there are some red pants I’ve got my eye on …
LA Lights
One of my favorite things about LA is all the fun places to visit. Having grown up there I have lots of great memories walking around the city and the museums are among my favorites. These lights in front of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) are an iconic LA landmark and …

It checks all the boxes – neutral colors and great for layering. If you don’t have a leather jacket, I highly recommend investing in one. Zara …
Special Edition: Album Photo Shoot Part 1
Over the past few months the duo my husband and I have, The Asking, have been hard at work on a new album. It’s been difficult to juggle both the album and The House Blend so I’ve had to post less. That’s frustrating for me because I love working on this blog and creating cool content! …
Cold Weather Valentine
It’s COLD here! Too cold for this LA girl. My one consolation? I can wear this faux fur coat and these red ankle boots. With Valentine’s Day coming up I thought it might be fun to put together an alternative V-Day look. When it’s cold the last thing you want to do is put on …
Family Jewels
I’ve never been big into jewelry. I used to only wear my wedding ring and some diamond stud earrings and call it good. Shoes were more my thing and often had enough sparkle for the rest of my outfit. But I started to notice how a bangle of bracelets and baubles really added interest …
New Year in Neutrals
My favorite neutral color is navy. It’s actually my favorite color period but I love that it can act as a neutral. I think many of us were taught not to mix neutrals – like if you wear a brown belt you wear brown shoes. This is actually not the case as neutrals are just …
