I love the effortless style of wearing a maxi dress. It’s perfect as we warm up for spring and SO comfy! There are so many out there to choose from right now and this one from ANGL was perfect for hanging out down on the sand (and for a plethora of other occasions).

How do you wear this summer style staple?

Dear St. John, Thank you for designing this incredibly comfy, clean cut and sleek jacket.

St. John has always been known for their conservative and durable clothing. I am absolutely loving their new younger, fresher and hipper look! I favor simple, elegant pieces, such as this one, that I can also pair with jeans and a t-shirt. This jacket was absolutely perfect for a day of strolling along the boardwalk in Laguna Beach! Thank you St. John!

Yea, I’m really a nerd at heart! ;-) However, I’d love to think that I’m a nerd with an edge… I paired specs and pearls with ankle zipper skinnies and snakeskin heels, lending a little flavor to that corporate girls look. I’m incredibly lucky that my “day job” is in a very casual, laid back environment where I can express myself a bit more creatively than other positions I’ve held in the past. However, I think that this look would fly in most corporate environments.

How do you dress for work and what are your thoughts on casual versus conservative work environments?

Hello! I’m so excited to share these pics with you, as we had such an amazing day shooting them! We met an incredible singer/guitarist by the name of Buddy Princeton down at the Newport Beach Pier. No… I cannot play, but I always say that I would have made an amazing rock star if only I had the voice/talent. Lol… ;-) Buddy was kind enough to lend me his guitar for the shoot, all while singing and rockin’ out in the background. So fun!!!

While I find the stud and spike trend a bit intimidating, I’ve also always been a bit of a rock n’ roll diva inside. I LOVE this mild, yet fun rocker chic look!

How are you wearing this funky and rebellious trend?

XOXO, Chrissy

INTRODUCING MISTY MILLER!

‘Girlfriend’ EP out 25^th February

Misty’s cover of “Happy Together” opened up Burberry’s London Fashion Week show on Monday and the internet’s been buzzing about her since.

Misty Miller is from South West London and has been writing her own songs since the age of eight. Inspired by the likes of Patti Smith, Iggy Pop and The Stooges, The Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, Irma Thomas, The Sonics, The Gories and the blues, Misty’s eclectic taste has informed a lot of her music to date. At the age of 15 she recorded her first album and released it on AWAL in 2011 that went on to sell 60,000 copies.

Now, having signed to Sony label Relentless, she is set to release the Girlfriend EP on 25th February, a collection of songs that finds her embracing the gritty sound of 70s rock n’ roll.

From the EPs title track, that Zane Lowe made his ‘Next Hype’ record last week, and its ferocious, lo-fi sound to the crooning intro of “Little Drummer” that bursts in to life on a wave of crashing guitars and the soulful lament of “Devil”, the Girlfriend EP showcases Misty’s unique songwriting talents, musical dexterity and ambition to the fullest.

View the “Girlfriend” video here:

The track-listing for the EP is:

1. Girlfriend

2. You Know What I Mean

3. Devil

4. Lonesome Cowboy

5. Little Drummer

As a little bonus, you can download the track, “Happy Together”, here:

We decided to shoot at a nearby apartment complex, which turned out to be a lot of fun and the perfect backdrop! I did have some curious residents looking out their windows a little perplexed though… Lol!

I was so excited when I received these shoes in the mail!! The heavy metal definitely makes you feel, well, “cool”. ;-) I felt like this look need a little color, so I threw on this bright blush colored scarf that I picked up recently.

So, what are your thoughts on rose gold? I had been searching for the perfect rose gold watch, but wasn’t able to commit to anything I’d seen (all a little pricey). When I came across this one a few weeks ago, I had to grab it (check out the price)! I would love your feedback!

Have a wonderful day and thanks so much for reading! XO

Hello!

So, this shoot started on the side of PCH and ended at a construction site on the sand. All in the name of fashion!

I love this look and slightly dressing up what is usually considered a very casual print! The earrings are crazy and super cool! You can wear them hanging down or clip them up on your ear like a cuff. Although, in some of the pics I look like I have elf ears. Haha…

What do you think? How are you wearing the hot trend, camo?

Have a great day and thanks for reading! XO

The sky did not remain blue for long. We could literally see the dark clouds rolling in. It made for some good lighting though! ;-)

Although this outfit is better suited for winter, black and white dominated the spring 2013 runways. This excites me, as it’s really one of my favorite combinations, so elegant!

Well we had to duck out of the rain and right next door to where we were shooting there happened to be a wine tasting room. Great ending to a fantastic day! ;-)

We found a new school being built in Newport Beach that has amazing architectural design! It took me back to my high school days, so fun! ;-) However, I went up and down these stairs about 15 times, which became a great reminder of the importance of working out. I was soooo sore the next day! Haha… ;-)

Happy Monday!
