ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Beauty Bar
Part of the fun about Emmys is all the pampering that goes on beforehand. I’m spending most of the weekend in San Diego. But before I headed down, I did a little indulging at Byron & Tracey Salon’s Beauty Bar. A couple of weeks ago I tried adding an auburn tint to my hair. I haven’t been crazy about it. So Dani fixed it by doing a caramel wash and natural looking balayage highlights. I’m thrilled with the way it turned out. I guess I’m just not meant to be a readhead.
After getting a blowout with Tomas again, I ran into Charlotte Ronson, who was there promoting her I Heart Ronson for JC Penney line. She complimented my dress. I told her about Shareen Vintage, where I bought the start print piece. And then we chatted quickly about fashion week. I love how the designer makes her show a family affair by always having a big dinner with her parents and siblings. I can’t wait to see her collection on the runway in New York!

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Army Girl
I’ve been trying to limit my shopping. But it’s impossible for me to go into Forever 21 and not leave with some inexpensive find. Today, while getting accessories for an upcoming shoot, I spotted this romper. It was only 20 bucks, the military color is totally on trend and the lightweight material is perfect for a hot summer day.
The elastic waist cheapens the romper but a belt quickly fixes that. Part of me felt like I needed some pins flap accents but I was nervous that would make the outfit too costumey. After brunch at Kings Road Cafe (their pesto omlette is so delish!) it got about 10 degrees hotter. So I swapped the boots for my gold Tkees sandals.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Dirty Dancing
My friend Michael nailed it when he guessed what inspired my outfit tonight: Dirty Dancing. Since I wasn’t going to be crawling on the floor with Patrick Swayze to “Love is Strange,” I did a more moderate version of Jennifer Grey’s iconic look. Instead of tying my top to show my entire midriff, I only revealed a slip of skin. It was a wise choice, considering the massive dinner I had at Izaka-Ya by Katsu-Ya before heading to Palihouse to celebrate the beautiful Nadine Jolie’s birthday.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Game Night
My friends Jess and Michael invited me over to their house for game night. I wanted to be comfy for our night of Scattegories, dirty martinis and Doritos. But since there were going to be a few people I didn’t know at the party I didn’t feel like sweats were appropriate. That’s why I adore the maxi dress. It feels like you’re wearing pajamas but has a casual chic look. I added my bling ring to distract people as we played our games. It sort-of worked. My teammate Jamie and I came in second.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Give and Get Fête
Tonight was the Style Network’s 2nd annual Give and Get Fête. The event raises money for Dress for Success and this year was held at one of my new fave spots in LA: Soho House. I wanted to look chic, but not sexy, so I used a fringe necklace to hide any cleavage. A little magenta jacket added a pop of color.
I went to the event with straight, sleek hair. But midway through, I did a hair consultation with Lea Journo. In her fabulous French accent, she told me she was going to give me volume like Bridget Bardot. And voila! My hair went from straight to big and wavy in five minutes.
Learn more about the event, and see pics of attendees including Bachelorette’s Ali Fedotowsky, Audrina Patridge and host Garcelle Beauvais, in my writeup on mystyle.com.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Seersucker Brunch
The other week, a few of my co-workers did seersucker Wednesday. One wore a striped skirt, another wore a button-down and another wore a baby blue and white bow tie. I was sad I wasn’t able to participate, so when I was shopping in Miami I picked up these shorts. From afar, they look more like a skirt and they’re so incredibly comfortable. I kept it basic for brunch with my friend and our pups at Cuvée with a white tee and tan sandals. Of course, the shorts are too short to wear to the office but at least I officially have seersucker in my closet.
