The Best Layering Accessory for Spring

Blazers are THE best layering accessory for spring. With bright colors and new playful patterns, these structured jackets are no longer just for the office. This spring’s blazers are perfect for any occasion. Wear a pastel moto jacket with a lacy spring dress or rock a boyfriend blazer with floral skinny jeans. As another stylist friend of mine recently reminded me, we all look waaay skinnier and more put together in a blazer. I'm wearing my favorite Theory blazer as I write this!
Any way you wear it, you’re sure to look amazing!

Would You Buy Clothes From A Store Called Nasty Gal?

Should a grown woman be buying clothes from a site called Nasty Gal? When the fashion editor of a major magazine admitted to me that it is her favorite shopping destination, I knew it was time to pay attention.

In 2012, everyone was talking about the sexy fashion website, Nasty Gal. It's no wonder. The site was named the #1 fastest growing retail company on the 2012 Inc. 5000 list, with over $100 million in yearly sales after just six years in business!

So what is the appeal of the Nasty Gal site for grown women? This online retailer features clothes, shoes, and accessories from affordable brands as well as daring designers such as Jeffrey Campbell, not to mention lust-worthy vintage finds. While it is quite easy to find a fresh, spring dress, a pair of high heels, or a motorcycle jacket to fall in love with, beware of clothing with provocative cut-outs and extremely short lengths. The clothes also come in very small sizes for smaller girls and most of the merchandise is under $150. Last year they released their own clothing line produced locally in Los Angeles. And in case you were wondering, the name was inspired by the song "Nasty Gal" by Betty Davis.

Let the fashion show begin!
