There’s a shot of LA that’s in a ton of commercials lately– the LACMA light installation. I could not think of a better place to show you some of the most amazing shoes I own (and that’s saying a lot). The early morning light filters in slowly here–but it can still capture the shoes–even the security guards loved them.
It’s Monday–hope you have spectacular shoes to get you through the day!

It’s Mother’s Day (and my birthday!!)!! And really-I wouldn’t be where I am without my mother. When I was a baby we lived in Spain for a while–and my mother would dress me in various outfits all day and take pictures. Clearly something clicked and I like to think that we’re all better off for it! Above is an outfit of hers that I still love to play dress up in, and below is my mommy and me! I hope today you take a moment to tell your mother, or mother-figure, how much you love her! And have some champagne–it’s my birthday and I say so!
Wishing us all an amazing week and even better shoes! xo RA
There is something magical about the early morning–and really the early evening–but in LA the city is still sleepy till about 9a, the light is somehow purer and everything seems to be possible. So for me it was the perfect time to wear one of the most amazing skirts I’ve owned. It added a touch of gold to the whole day.
Happy Friday! xo RA

I love shoes. The only thing I think you need more of then heels? Flats. I’ll be honest–it has taken me a while to warm up to flats, nine times out of ten I will still pick a heel. However, as the years have passed there are times that nothing beats a good flat. My criteria? The flats must be stylish, comfortable, and able to be worn with a variety of outfits. I’d love to know–what are your fave flats?
First up these amazing HM sneakers. They’re comfy and have been my go-to from everything from leggings to t-shirt dresses to jeans and t-shirts. I also may or may not have bought an extra pair for football season.
Next: these Cole Haan Drivers. All the cool kids in my Jr High had Cole Haan loafers–but let me tell you that they weren’t this cool-these are the cool big sister of those loafers, done in suede and able to add a polish to just about anything. I’ve been wearing mine with jeans, shorts, and t-shirt dresses.
Lastly these expensive looking Halogen T-Straps. I saw a girlfriend wearing them at the gym and went home and ordered them. From black pants, black dresses, jeans, sweats–there hasn’t been an outfit I haven’t loved them with yet!
Happy Wednesday! xo RA
Is there anything more classic than a white button down and jeans? No. It can go anywhere–be dressed up or down. And here’s the great thing? You can have fun with it! I found this amazing little pink satin turban at one of my favorite stores in LA, Recess, and knew it would be amazing with anything–even jeans.
Hope you have an amazing Monday–with a little bit of fun! xo RA

There’s something about a short dress with high boots that just makes me think of the 60’s. Years later this combination still manages to feel fresh, modern, and allows to little twists.
Hope you have an amazing weekend!

True Story–when I was little I refused to wear jeans. I would only wear my “princess dress” and all things that looked that ball gowns. While I still stand behind that attitude–and still love a good gown– it’s possible that I wasn’t aware that jeans could look like this; and that denim in general is one of the most amazing things ever. This is one of those effortless outfits–with effortless pieces that look amazing with anything. And can we talk about how easy they go together?!
Not all beach days have to involve swimsuits, towels and accessories. Sometimes all you need is a great dress and some sun. This rule also applies to brunch, shopping and happy hours. Wherever you find yourself this Friday I hope it is fabulous!

There’s something about opposites that I’m just drawn to–like this lady-like polished top with distressed denim. Add amazing kitten heels and a fun clutch–and this outfit can take on Monday!

There is simply no other item in my closet that’s as versatile than this Rodebjer “Art Dress”. It buttons down the front, back and sides–meaning that you can wear it almost any way you can imagine it! My favorites include open over jeans, twisted, as a shirt dress, over shorts and as a jacket–and in every variation it’s super comfy!
