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: 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: Olive Peach
This weekend, my mom’s visiting. So we’re having major girl time. Today was haircuts at Juan Juan (I’ve been seeing owner Sean J. since I was 16) then a little shopping at Century City. It’s finally warm in Los Angeles, so I wore this sheer top American Apparel sent me. I never would have picked it out myself, but it’s so incredibly comfortable and the lightweight material looks even better when it gets crinkled. How rare is that?! I originally paired it with denim cutoffs but my mother hates the ripped short looks. So I swapped the jeans for olive and I actually prefer the color combo. It’s softer and more sophisticated. Thanks mom.

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.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Happy Clogs
When I was in Miami, Steve Madden had an offer I couldn’t refuse: get 30% off fall styles, and then pick any shoe from their clearance wall for $20. I choose these clogs. I’ve been hesitant about the clog trend (the shoes are comfy but not exactly the most flattering). But the peep-toe on these platforms don’t cut off the ankle as much as the closed toe version.
A bright cardigan and studded belt transformed my dress from sexy to office appropriate with a bit of edge. My favorite color, yellow, + new shoes = me happy.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Sporty Showers
After getting soaked through while walking Bunny early this morning I decided I needed a water resistant outfit. Thankfully, I brought along this sporty mesh dress as a coverup. I wrapped my necklace around my wrist twice, making it look almost like a bracelet of raindrops.
First stop was lunch on Lincoln Road. We ate at Nexxt and sure enough, after we placed our order it started to pour. It let up a bit after our meal as we walked over to Brownes & Co. Spa (Jackie gives amazing massages if you’re ever in town). But the rain didn’t bother me. I was able to just wipe it off my dress. My friend wasn’t so lucky.
