Tie-Dye SZN: The Best Pieces to Buy

Outside Lands is over, but my summer of love vibes are still going strong and I am tie-dye obsessed.

While tie-dye is typically associated with hippies and the Grateful Dead, it just so happens to be one of fashion’s current obsessions. After turning up on a number of runways for spring 2019, as well as a few for fall 2019, this trend is here to stay and I AM HERE FOR IT.

Despite what you might think about tie-dye, it’s actually quite versatile, since it comes in a number of color combinations, patterns, and intensities. If you’re more of a “dip your toes into a trend” type of person, I’d say the easiest way to pull off tie-dye is to start with smaller items like socks, shoes or a T-shirt, while keeping everything else pretty basic. A tie-dye T-shirt can easily pair with jeans, trousers or a skirt. You can also go for the reverse, pairing tie-dye bottoms ― one notch bolder than a T-shirt ― with something simple on top.

I can NOT get enough of this trend and the easiest and way to add a little tie-dye into your wardrobe is in your loungewear. I love a matching set, but if that is too much of a statement for you snag one tie-dye piece and style it with a neutral.

This Crossbody Phone Case Changed My Life


I can’t even begin to count the minutes of my life I’ve wasted digging around my bag for my phone, firing up the Find My Phone app on a friend’s phone or simply searching high and low for my iPhone.

Hours? Days?

Well, my friends, those days are over! Let me introduce you to my favorite new accessory that has FINALLY put an end to my five-year streak of losing my iPhone at the Outside Lands music festival -> The Bandolier Crossbody Phone Case. This phone case is a life-changer. It’s a phone case, it’s a bag and it is the key to NOT losing your phone in ANY situation. From the airport to the grocery store to music festivals this phone case is always across my body and never missing!

Bandolier Sarah Studded Leather iPhone Crossbody

It’s $98! Tell me more…

This multifunctional crossbody phone case is chicer than any of my old plastic or silicone cases that break and fade in what seems like no time at all. It holds my phone tightly, and its removable crossbody strap lets me carry it around as I would a purse! My phone hangs safely at my side so I can easily reach down and swing it up to my face when I need to answer a text, make a call or take a selfie.

The crossbody strap is not only removable, but it’s adjustable too! No need to worry about height, as you can customize the length to fit just right. This is also very useful when I want to layer bags, so I can keep my phone up and above everything else.

This case leaves the camera lens of the phone exposed (thank god), so I don’t have to deal with taking it out of the case (and probably dropping it) every time I want to snap a photo…which is pretty often. No more “missing that perfect shot” because I can’t access my phone camera quickly enough! Even better? This stylish case will be in every mirror selfie I take (every time I exit my building).

Yes, it is on the pricey side but the quality is there and frankly, you earn back the time you would be spending searching for your phone! #TrustMe

Feather SZN



Back in San Francisco from NYFW with the Friday Forecast series! I always leave New York feeling inspired to level up my street style game and this season was no exception.

Fashion trends right now are all about making a statement and what better way to make your statement than with FEATHERS? Trim your trousers with feathers, elevate your blazer with feathers on the sleeves…put feathers on freaking everything because I am obsessed!

I managed to get my hands on this little affordable feather top before fashion week, but it was a real struggle to snag it! The feather trend is here and showing up all over the runways and streets in New York but next to impossible to find at an affordable price point…

SO I scoured the internet for all the best feather pieces for fall at all price points! There are definitely more options at the high price point, but I did my best to find a ton of options that are under $100 and sure to have you feeling FEATHER SZN this fall.
