Every year I try to set a few wardrobe goals for myself, and this year, one of them is definitely to dress up a bit more.  Living at the beach, it's easy to get into a "beach hair and flip flops everyday" kind of rut, so I'm focused on adding in more tailored and polished pieces into my routine.  While I'd love to spend my time hopping from store to store searching for those new additions, sometimes it just doesn't fit into my schedule, so I'm grateful for sites like ShopStyle.  ShopStyle allows you to search for exactly what you want from tons of brands and stores that you already know and trust.  It puts everything in one easy-to-navigate place and can help you compare prices of items from one site to another.  The site has been around for a while, but it's got a whole new look and feel and is now better than ever.  Check out the video below, and take ShopStyle for a spin.  Sign up for sale alerts, browse your favorite brands, and give your 2014 wardrobe a much-needed upgrade.  We Search. We Find. We ShopStyle.

Golden Globes Style: Seeing Red

Well it's official.  One of my favorite seasons has arrived and is currently in full swing: Awards Season.  This season, I'm teaming up with Diet Dr Pepper to bring you my One of a Kind Style picks from the Golden Globes, the Grammy's, and the Oscars.  These three nights rarely disappoint in the fashion department, and last night's Golden Globes were no exception.  Among my favorites?  Kate Beckinsale (no shocker here), absolutely stunning in silver Zuhair Murad; Olivia Wilde, who showed off her baby bump in green Gucci; and Margot Robbie, radiant in white Gucci.  (Good night for Gucci I'd say.)  While the stars chose looks from designers across the board in every color imaginable, there was a definite trend of ladies in red.

From Amy Adams' plunging Valentino to Lupita Nyong'o's caped Ralph Lauren to Julie Bowen's two-toned Carolina Herrera, last night's Golden Globes style was definitely red hot.  And while my everyday life doesn't really call for gowns and Louboutins, it's always fun to take a little red carpet inspiration and apply it to my day to day wardrobe, and for today's look, I'm seeing red.  Red is definitely not a color I usually gravitate towards, but there are a few random red pieces that I've picked up over the years.  I scooped up this one from a sale rack at Urban Outfitters last year, and I love the cutouts and black contrast.  It's so simple chic when paired with black heels or boots and a cozy cape.  A messy mane and a red lip help finish off the look.

This morning I woke up thinking about this lace skirt.  I have no idea why, but I remembered it, realized I haven't worn it in a long while, and wanted to put it on.  The fashion-obsessed brain is a funny place, people.  I love delicate pieces like a lace skirt paired with something a bit more substantial, like this Zara vest (that I've worn, and worn, and worn again).  Finish the look off with a dose of leopard (seriously love these booties) and a few pops of fuschia, and I'm one happy girl.  Hope everyone is having a great week - hang in there, it's almost Friday!

Although Southern California seems to be stuck in this "high of 70 everyday" Twilight Zone, this morning was gloomy and just chilly enough for a little winter gear.  (I'm not mad about missing out on the arctic freeze that has taken over the rest of the country, but sometimes I would like to actually get to wear my winter clothes.)  I recently scored these Vera Wang boots on super sale at Marshall's, and I couldn't be happier.  They fit like a glove and are comfortable for all-day wear.  (Plus, they'll take the place of my old favorites that have been soled and resoled one too many times.  Sigh.)  Hope everyone is staying warm and having a great week!
