Electric Blues

Below are some tips that I find helpful when layering for the cold and rainy weather we've been having lately in LA. I personally like the option of shedding layers rather than not having enough layers & freezing my buns off, so I typically stick to the 3 layer rule.  
  1. Start off with a good base. Then layer up your outfit piece by piece by piece.
  2. Layer thin ➡️ thick ➡️ thickest.  Start with thinner layers and work up to your thickest layer. I started with a thin silk blouse, layered a cropped knitted sweater for some warmth, and topped off the look with a heavy duty coat from Reformation.
  3. Mix it up with different textures and material. I kept my look fun and interesting by mixing silk and wool. 
  4. Show off all your layers. I chose a cropped sweater to show off the bright blue blouse underneath and then draped my coat over my shoulders to pull the whole look together.

Rock the Boat

Maxi Dress: Stillwater 'The X Back Dress' in Blue Floral (here)
Band Tank: Chaser Brand (here)
Leather Jacket: JACHS NY
Booties: UGG 'Cortona Convertible Boot' in indigo (here)
Jewelry: Vanessa Mooney
Rockin' out on a boat while sportin' some Pink Floyd and this sexy, cool maxi dress. I absolutely love maxi dresses and their versatility so I literally wear them year round in California! They're the perfect transitional piece for all seasons...at least all seasons in SoCal! Even though it's winter right now, it's been pretty warm and summer-like lately...especially in San Diego. 

I wore this adorable X-back maxi dress from Stillwater, layered it with the comfiest band tank, and topped off the outfit with a badass leather jacket and a head warmer for extra warmth during the windy boat ride around Point Loma. Let me just tell you that there are very few things I love more than good music and fun boat rides! So a huge thanks to my sis and her man for always taking me out on their boat and showing me a great time while I'm visiting!
