I set out for my first run on a breezy day last April wearing a pair of old sneakers I dug out of the depths of my closet and armed with an arsenal of Nicky Minaj and Flo Rida to keep me company. For someone who had once been in really great shape, it was […]
Happy Valentine’s week! My husband, Aaron, travels a lot for work, so we somehow always find ourselves in separate states for Valentine’s Day. It may not be the most romantic way to spend the holiday, but we try to make up for it when he comes home on the weekend. Whether your significant other is […]
When I first started assisting stylists, I began to wonder why I even had an apartment. It seemed between all of the pick-ups and drop-offs and showroom appointments that I was living out of my car! Fast forward to present day and not a whole lot has changed. While there are still plenty of appointments, […]
True story: There was frost on my car this morning when I was headed to the gym! That may not sound like a big deal to some of you, but it’s a pretty rare occurrence here in Southern California. It took everything in me not to run inside and jump back under the covers. While […]
Happy New Year! I hope your 2013 is off to a fabulous start! I always look forward to this time of year when we get a fresh start. I am a pretty goal-oriented person year round, so this whole new year’s resolution thing just justifies my small obsession with asking people about their five year […]
How is it possible that there is just one week remaining before Christmas Day? It’s been quite a busy month — I styled an advertising campaign and editorial in Puerto Rico, a mondo shoot for Warner Brothers, and a project for JCPenney just in the first two weeks! Needless to say, I’m very much looking […]
We are headed to Austin this week for the holiday and I (Jen) am counting down the minutes! I am also already planning my day-of-travel outfit, which is pretty much my airport uniform at this point. While there are plenty of instances when getting dressed is purely a fun, creative expression of style, dressing for air […]
As a stylist, it’s important that each of my projects has my unique, creative fingerprint on it. The same way Annie Leibowitz’s photography or Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture has a certain quality that is identifiable to each of them, I (Jen) always strive for my work to exude my own unique aesthetic. I’m currently knee […]
The first time I (Jen) walked into Decades on Melrose, I was literally speechless. I was picking up a vintage Birkin that a client was purchasing from Cameron, the owner of Decades and the largest collector of Hermes in the world. When I walked in, I was greeted by glass cases of vintage jewelry sandwiched between stacks of […]
Jen here, and I love the month of October! I’m fully on board with the changing weather, pumpkin-flavored everything, and of course Halloween! Long before I was a stylist, there was nothing I loved more than putting together a creative costume. Come October 1st I would start counting down the days and scoping out the […]
When I tell people that I’m a wardrobe stylist, a common reaction is, “Your job must be so fun! Do you just go shopping all of the time?!” Oh how I wish the answer to that question was a whole hearted ‘Yes!‘ While there are really fun moments where I’m shopping in high-end designer boutiques or styling really […]
While summer and holidays are the more popular choice for traveling, there is still something to be said for taking advantage of the cooler weather and less crowded destinations in the fall. I (Jen) have always had this dream of traveling up the California coast by train and stopping in tiny seaside cities along the […]
I will never forget my first New York Fashion Week. It was September of 2005 and I had ditched an entire week of class to fly solo to New York, bunk with generous friends, and work back-of-house at the shows of any designer who would have me — it was a fashion major’s dream! Seven […]
Now that we’re all squared away on what to eat and how to style our hair and makeup for summer picnics, looks like it’s time to turn our attention to the equally important question of what to wear. Luckily, we’ve always got Jen on call when faced with life’s biggest fashion dilemmas, and today she’s pulled a few of […]
Don’t you just love summer? Somewhere between President’s Day and Valentine’s Day I (Jen) begin anticipating its arrival, and by the time Memorial Day rolls around I am in full excitement mode. I love the warm weather, trips to the beach and fresh produce that’s all in season, but one of my favorite things about […]
I (Jen) believe that having an office job is no excuse to throw fashion out the window, and I love the challenge of finding ways to incorporate current trends into professional attire. Just because you might be spending your summer behind a computer screen, doesn’t mean you can’t do so in style, right? Take this look […]
Adding depth and texture to your outfits during the winter is easy: layer scarves on top of jackets on top of knits on top of tees and so forth. But in the heat of summer when temperatures are nearing triple digits, our layering abilities are seriously impaired, which is why I (Jen) love to use […]
