On a recent trip to LA I had the chance to visit The RealReal's new LA fine jewelry office and write a feature on RealStyle. It was designed by The Row's interior designer Courtney Applebaum and it's probably the chicest gemology space you'll ever see. It's filled with antique rugs and vintage 20th century furniture (fueling an obsession with Jean Prouvé, Jean Royere + Bruno Mathsson) set against spare concrete floors, and I pretty much wanted to move in. More pics and the full post including an interview with Courtney here.

I love my classic Albano Waite, but this new tarot deck from The Dreslyn has a clean, modern look that I'd love to add to my collection.

I'm normally not much one for diamonds, but paired with organic beachstones, these are pretty cool (and they have a great Insta).

I've been looking for the perfect crossbody bag and I'm thinking this one is a contender.

Looking for an album to put on repeat? This has been mine lately.

When it comes to makeup, I usually go for ultra-bright colors for lips and classic black for eyeliner and mascara. But on a whim, I opted for this brown eyeliner from natural makeup line Alima. Excited to mix it up with a neutral (wild and crazy, I know).

I've been at The RealReal for a just about a year and a half, and the hyper-growth the company has been quite a thing to experience. New and exciting things are always happening, but this is pretty big.

This would be a perfect addition to my tunic collection. Jesse Kamm does no wrong.

In NYC, I randomly happened upon the Trademark flagship, which houses the line designed by the Burch sisters. Make of that what you will, but they have some great shoes and bags.

Speaking of NYC, this made my suitcase smell like a million bucks when I brought it home. Loving Aesop.

A majorly uplifting song.

Bags by Trademark.

Back In White

Whoa. Major blog heart attack. But I've been really busy in these last few months: I went on a totally unplugged, 5-day hippie retreat to Breitenbush in the Oregon Cascades, spent an extra-long first wedding anniversary weekend in Joshua Tree and Palm Springs, and after many years at the same gig...I have a new job as a Fashion Copywriter at The RealReal!

Not only am I very excited to be working at The RealReal, I'm already addicted to shopping the site. The sheer volume of new arrivals is staggering and there are some truly great finds—it's luxury consignment, so imagine high-end eBay where everything is legit. Case in point, this new Carven moto jacket I'm obsessed with. I'm more adjusted to my new sched, and have been thinking about lots of things I want to share here, so stay tuned!
