Sixth outfit post in a row wearing a skirt! Sheesh. I promise that wasn't intended (I only just noticed now), but as you can see, this upcoming season I'm all about minis, midis, maxis, and all the sweeping fishtail hems and asymmetrical cuts that fall in between. This cascading number in particular, has more waves than my hair and ruffles in the breeze with each step—and leopard print paired with rouge is just one of those classic combinations that I always tend to fall back to no matter what season it is.

I know it's only January and some of you guys are just entering the dead of winter, but here in California there's no such thing and I'm already in spring mode—and this skirt is exactly what spring should look like in my eyes: flowy, delicate fabrics, splashes of color, and florals in full bloom.

Hi foxies! I'm so thankful to be able to give back to you guys so often and try take every opportunity I can to do so—but only with brands and products I personally believe you would enjoy as much as I do, of course. The following three weeks starting this Friday, I will be holding a weekly giveaway courtesy of the lovely No. A! In the meantime, feel free to browse their site to grasp a hint of what type of goodies I might be giving away. Who knows, one of them may even be this ring I'm wearing below. Until then! xo

Congratulations to the three winners of my Romwe giveaway—Alice, Marilyn, and Brenda! An e-mail will be sent to you all shortly! Reading through the entries, I noticed a recurring trend in some of you guys' response to what your new years resolution is: to be more productive. I'd be lying right now if I couldn't say the same... Today, I'm motivated to curl up on a pile of warm laundry, straight from the dryer with a foamy cup of hot chocolate and Netflix on cue. Catching up on my films-to-watch list—and watching Trainspotting for the fourth time. Movie suggestions are more than welcome!

With a bevy of spring lookbooks flooding my dashboard this month, this campaign—inspired by '70s rock muses and vintage thrillers—has to be my favorite by far! Styled and photographed by two people who never cease to amaze me: Ashley Glorioso and Zoey Grossman. Obsessed? I know. Wish it was spring already? Me too.
