If you follow me on twitter or instagram, you probably already know that I've had HAIM on repeat since the release of their album. Not only do they have great music, but they have great style as well. I especially love Danielle's personal style (pictured in the middle above). She's always dressed in laid-back California cool looks with a little bit of an edge.

I had the pleasure of attending the Tibi F/W 2014 show over the weekend and can't get these cozy layered looks out of my mind. As for the shoes, Amy and her team never disappoint. My favorites were these grey textured mules and these slip-on black flats. The cherry on top was the soundtrack, especially Beck's new song, Blue Moon.

See the rest of the collection here.

NYFW STREET STYLE: WINTER MIDRIFF

With the cold weather we are experiencing in NYC right now, I would have never thought about rocking a midriff-baring top. This look, however, has definitely changed my mind. With the right warm layers, the striped crop top looks sharp and right at home with this winter look.

Came across this feature on designer Jenni Kayne's GORGEOUS Beverly Hills home awhile back. Not sure why I didn't share it sooner since I'm completely smitten with the space and decor. One detail that really stood out is the framed Hermès scarf in her daughter's room... too cute!

You may know Jenni Kayne from her California cool collections or her swoon-worthy line of d'orsay flats, which I may or may not be addicted to.

Check out the rest of the home over on Architectural Digest.

Revisiting this street style shot I posted back in 2009. The look is still one of my favorites to this day. A nod to classic preppy style, but the leather gives it a downtown cool feel.

When temperatures drop, I like to add bright layers and beautiful accessories to the mix to dull the pain of yet another winter. Pops of red, plaid and leather galore is the name of the game this time of year, so here are a few of my current favourites (including these delicious boots from Dr. Martens). What are your winter go-tos? xx

Hat- ONE | plaid scarf- Gap | bag- Oasap | red coat- ASOS | quilted leather gloves- River Island | boots- Dr. Martens

TWO WAYS: STRIPE TEE + A LEATHER SKIRT

Doesn't get any more classic (or easier!) than this. Stripes and leather are just meant to go together. Once the weather turns cold, make the simple switch to leather pants.

When a scarf simply won't do, sometimes you need something a little more akin to a blanket wrapped around those shoulders... Enter my Urban Outfitters plaid cape. I bought it last fall, and on particularly cold days, it gets to come out of closet hibernation and resume its rightful place — Strewn around my neck in jumbo scarf form. Oooh yeah. xx
