About Me

I spent a decade in L.A. dressing celebrities for everything from red carpet premieres to international press junkets with clients including Sharon Stone, Chloe Sevigny, Liam Hemsworth and Scott Eastwood. I flew around the world in private jets, having private dinners with the world’s top designers (spaghetti with Sylvia Fendi in Rome was a personal favorite!) While the Hollywood life was exhilarating, I knew when it was time to raise a family, I wanted to be back in San Diego, away from the limelight. Eleven years of marriage and two kids later, I am in settled in the Southern California countryside and still love fashion as much as ever, but have a newfound appreciation for functionality and practicality. Today you can find me producing fashion shows, styling editorials and celebrities, and appearing as an expert on several news networks.

Thank you @anthropologie for the killer denim cove Thank you @anthropologie for the killer denim coveralls for this morning’s news segment on denim trends. I love me some coveralls as it is easy breezy one stop dressing. You can accessorize to dress them up or down to make them truly a versatile piece. #coverallsforthewin
Not sure if you can pull off the color pink? You c Not sure if you can pull off the color pink? You can! The key is not going overboard and pairing it with neutral colors like white and camel. Still hesitant? Start with pink lipstick (I swear nothing wakes up a tired face more than a little swipe of lipstick)  or in your accessories like a hat or handbag and then work your way into clothing!

We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in La We’ve been spending a lot time at our home in Lake Havasu lately for a change of scenery- I guess that’s one of the silver linings of virtual school. Whenever we are there, I challenge myself to a play game I like to call “Find cute clothes at @walmart ”- Perfect for #FrugalFridays!
I have to say if you are willing to search, you can actually find some cute pieces like this tie-dye T-shirt I scored for $9.98! I’ve always been a big proponent of mixing high and low so I’ll pair a T-shirt like this with some of my good jeans and bold accessories to balance to look.

Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and Being a stylist I spend a ton of time in malls and stores and picked up this little nugget of wisdom along the way... @freepeople is one of my go to’s and as luck would have it, @macys online and some brick and mortars sell Free People and it is almost always on sale. I bought the henley in this picture for $21 at Macy’s while it was selling for $68 at Free People. Sidebar here for a moment, I love a good henley as an alternative to a plain old T-shirt! So my big take away is if you find something you love at Free People (and who wouldn’t) check out Macy’s before you buy! Check out my stories for some of my top pics for pieces currently on sale! @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/35R0Y
If you know me, you know that I love both puppies If you know me, you know that I love both puppies and hats 👒🐶 and while we could all use more puppies these days, today-  let’s talk about hats. It is the easiest way to turn an  outfit from drab to fab in addition to hiding roots, grease and grays or as I like to call it Covid hair.
I can’t tell you the amount of times I have had friends or clients say, oh I could never pull off a hat like you do. WRONG! Hats are definitely all about attitude so when you put one on you have to own it. If you think you can rock it, trust me you can. And if this past year has taught me anything,  at the end of the day, do you really care what anyone thinks about you?!
