9 Looks from Target's GO International Designer Collective

When news broke in late October that Target would be celebrating the five-year anniversary of its GO International program with a collection featuring 34 dresses from 17 past GO International designers, I felt a tinge of excitement with the knowledge that I'd be able to get a few dresses I previously missed out on. In my head, I envisioned the dresses that I'd want Target to make available again:

V is for Valentine's Day

I'm generally not one to get excited about holidays or publish gift guides, particularly for an overhyped, highly commercialized day such as Valentine's Day, but in case you're in need of some Valentine's Day outfit inspiration, I found some romantic and red-adorned window displays. Unfortunately for the dozens of PR specialists that have been pitching me jewelry ideas since early December, there

The Texture Mix

The theme that unites my latest batch of store window photos is texture. While I typically find myself drawn to prints, texture is another one of my favorite ways to add visual interest, especially during the fall and winter months. Although the past few days have seen warm, summery temperatures, I'm still holding out hope that I'll be able to layer knits over sequins, faux fur over chiffon,

Shopping at the Greige Market Pop-Up

I joined forces with Sarah once again to attend the opening night party for the Greige Market Pop-Up shop on La Brea in L.A. We sipped coconut water and browsed gorgeous printed dresses by BB Dakota, colorful designs by Custo Barcelona, super soft skinny denim, eco-friendly tops for men, unique bow ties by Tycoon Neckwear, tees by KRMA, jeans by Them denim, printed maxi dresses by Manoush, and

Mariel and Mary Jane

Many of you may not know that I have a twin sister. She is about six minutes younger, and her birth was a complete surprise to both my parents and the doctor. As the story goes, after I was born, the doctor remarked that he thought "there was another one in there" and asked my father to leave the room. My dad recalls hearing this and seeing the room spin. To this day, I don't think we look alike,

At Home

And now for a rare and perhaps unexpected peek inside my humble abode. About five years ago, I developed an interest in interior design and I began watching HGTV in search of knowledge and inspiration. I soon learned that I favored light, cool color palettes and ultra feminine shabby chic pieces. At home, I have a mix of items found at local antique and furniture stores combined with myriad

Take a Peek at H&M's Spring 2011 Trends

I always enjoy watching the H&M styling videos that Barracuda Film & TV sends me, in which they preview next season's trends, discuss design inspiration, and give us a fun peek at what will be in H&M stores soon. In the first video, ex-model, stylist, and blogger Hanneli Mustaparta styles a model in four trendy spring/summer looks, and in the second video, Ann-Sofie Johansson (Head of Design at H
