Something about spring this year has been making me want to dress in preppy, simple, and classic clothing. It's no surprise, then, that I've basically been having to stop myself from wearing a chambray shirt every single day lately. This new addition from LOFT is making things even harder, since it's so ridiculously soft and fits just right. I paired it with this skirt for an event I hosted at the store over the weekend and am already thinking of how long I have to wait before I can wear this …

A Navy Moment
My wardrobe has been having a bit of a navy moment: lately, I've found myself increasingly drawn to this colour since it's just as classic, but feels a little more refined than basic black.

Spring at LOFT | Shop With Us

That's why I'm so excited to be at …
Tai Ping Shan Street
If you follow me on instagram, you'll probably know that I was in Hong Kong last month. While there, I had the privilege of shooting with talented photographer Terry Wong and his team. And In addition to being great behind the camera, Terry was also a wonderful tour guide who took me around to places that I never would have found on my own! Our first stop on our shoot/tour around the city was this gem of a street that I would not have discovered traveling solo: filled with cafes, boutiques and …
