With as much travelling as I do each year, I make it a point to plan my outfits according to the destination. The weather, the city’s local style vibe, the different activities to do…these are all things to consider when planning outfits for a trip!

Today’s Style Destination is beautiful and rainy Seattle. When packing for rainy weather, it’s always a good idea to pack a pair of rain boots, lightweight outerwear, cozy sweaters, and of course, a cute umbrella! Staying dry can totally look stylish!

Happy travels!

It’s a long holiday weekend ahead of us, and if you’re like me, you’ve probably already been planning those weekend outfits! This edition of Style on a Budget is all about creating an affordable casual date outfit without breaking the bank.

I love mixing feminine pieces, like the sweet and sheer blouse above, with more edgy pieces like the leopard bag, sleek black skinnies and rugged flat boots. The best part? You can do the entire look for around 300 bucks!

Happy Labor Day weekend everyone!

This past Tuesday night, I was lucky enough to be a part of the Momtrends Back to School 2011 event in NYC. I shared fall fashion trends with some amazing moms and bloggers. We had such a great time and met so many great women.

Thanks to all the attendees and to Momtrends for having me speak at this fun event!

He’s ahead of the curve, trend-savvy and not afraid to take style risks. The Trendster is always on the lookout for the coolest style pieces and coming up with interesting ways to wear them.

Our stylists put this particular Trendster outfit with fresh urban style in mind. The fashion-forward combo of a blazer, graphic tank and camo shorts are punctuated with sleek high top sneakers. Throwing on a cool fedora and classic Wayfarers rounds out this neo-urban look perfectly.

If you’re like me and love to travel, you know how important it is to pack appropriately to your destination. For this first ever Style Destination, we’re going to the beach! Laguna Beach to be exact!

Here are some must-have pieces that will be right at home in this posh and sunny seaside location:

One-piece swimsuit: This looks so chic when you’re sipping a cocktail poolside!

Cute cover-ups: Always pack a couple of cover-ups, whether it’s a pretty sarong wrap or a sheer tunic.

Woven beach tote: A classic straw beach tote is not only practical, it’s always stylish.

Colorful bikini: Bright bikinis are so hot right now. Whether you do a solid or a fun print, the brighter, the better!

Maxi skirt or dress: The boho look is alive and well in SoCal, and a maxi is perfect for a shopping day around Laguna.

Flat sandals: Pack a dressy flat sandal and comfy rubber flip flops so you have options for lounge and play.

Sporty beach shorts: These are perfect for beach volleyball or just spending a day running around on the sand.
