Because your clothes are works of art!


Looking for a way to spice up your look? You could search for a loud print or sequin-embellished piece, but sometimes you just want a good, basic piece with a pinch of wow factor to make you stand out from the crowd. So instead of looking for bold colors or prints, look for bold tailoring. That's right, sculptural tops with beautiful, unique draping are all the rage right now. They're a wonderful addition to any working girl's wardrobe, and everyone will be admiring your interesting top!

How you style it is up to you, but because these tops are usually full in shape, keep your pants or skirt on the slimmer side of things. Of course, if your structured top is cropped, feel free to pair with some culottes! Keep accessories simple and minimalistic though. You want the attention on your fabulous blouse.

Check out some ways street style girls have styled their sculptural tops!

What I Wore | Job Interview

May 17, 2016

Wearing L'Academie shirt, Madewell skirt and sunglasses, Sam Edelman shoes, and Kelsi Dagger bag
That's right, your girl Lindsey graduated on Friday and had a job interview on Monday!

It's been a busy week of driving back home to San Diego, then to LA and back home again on Monday, and also, you know, celebrating the end of my school years and stressing out about the fact that I have to change my LinkedIn status from "student" to "unemployed". Yikes. Also, help, I cannot stop saying "yikes" and I fear I have ceased using it in an ironic fashion.

Anyways, I had a job interview yesterday in Los Angeles for a super cool fashion company, you've definitely heard of it but I don't want to say too much in case i jinx it. But I think it went well! Ahhh, post-grad life is very scary.

Because this is a fashion company we're talking about, and I'm the Fashion Barbie and even if I weren't interviewing for a fashion company I would have dressed like this, I assembled a killer outfit that is equal parts trendy and classic. Lace-up blouses and midi skirts are awesome trends of the moment, but the colors scream timeless. Add one pair of sassy leopard print pumps for a pop of fun, throw your resumé into a simple black tote, and you've got yourself a perfect interview outfit.

Also, pro tip, I realized this morning that I don't own a steamer so I hung my clothes in the bathroom while I took a shower and the steam from the shower totally took all the wrinkles out of my skirt and top! And even after 5+ hours of sitting in my car, the wrinkles weren't too bad, thank god.

Blake Lively for Queen of Cannes

May 16, 2016


Blake Lively is putting everyone else's red carpet looks to shame.

Yeah, I'm a little bit biased because Blake Lively is one of my personal favorites, but seriously though, each one of Lively's outfits at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival has been incredible. From casual photocall outfits to the epitome of red carpet glamour, Serena van Der Woodsen is proving yet again that she is the Queen of Cannes.

I love how Blake is able to combine high fashion with her laid-back California girl style. She's also used the past week to prove that maternity style doesn't mean abandoning form fitting dresses or sex appeal. I mean, she's wearing Versace Atelier, for goodness' sake! That's not for the faint of heart! Anyways, Blake is killing the game and is teaching us all a lesson in how to dress to impress. Check out her best looks from Cannes so far:

I graduated from college today! Ahhh!

I'll post a recap of the festivities later and share some things about what I learned during my four years of higher education, but I've been up since 6am and need to nap before tonight's festivities :D

Fight on!
