1. Rails Felix Jacket

I can’t say enough about this jacket. It’s lightweight, which makes it perfect for LA and transitional weather. This also solved my what do I wear to walk the dog? problem: it’s an easy, put together throw-on-and-go layer. (Truth moment: this is a minor dilemma, I know—but surely I’m not the only one in this struggle?) The adjustable cinching makes it really flattering and you can easily play with how to style it. The pockets are useful (phone + keys) and the price point is really good! Highly recommend.

2. Veronica Beard Benny Vest & Darrell Pant

I love a good matching set. It's styled for you for the days where you need that, but on the days where you need more options, you can wear each piece separately and get a ton of outfits out of it. I love the vest with jeans. The neutral color makes it such an easy base for styling, and I'm particularly into the fact that the pants have a relaxed, modern shape- meaning they don't look too much like an office outfit.

3. Frame Denim Balloon Pant

Sometimes if you want to go outside your comfort zone but not too much- these balloon pants work out great for those days. They're surprisingly easy for Farmer's Market runs or casual days out and about: think "sweatpants but it's denim". Balloon pants are having their moment so if you'd like to give them a try without trying too hard, this would be the easiest way to do it. The light weight material falls softly so the form isn't too exaggerated, and these pants pair easily with most casual tops.

4. Self Portrait Black Wool Crepe Top

This one made my Top 5 because I’m such a daytime person, so I feel like I’m always running out of things to wear when I want to go out at night. The tailored wool gives this tank a really flattering shape without feeling overly formal- ie, goes with my black jeans. I don't usually go to tank tops first, but seeing it on everyone in the store is truthfully what sold me! It worked on so many people, so it earned a spot in my Top 5.

MANSUR GAVRIEL

5. Ulla Johnson Nerissa Jacquard Dress

Thank you, Ulla Johnson, for the forgiving jacquard fabric that somehow hides everything I want to hide while giving the most gorgeous shape. This is definitely a dress-up dress—there’s really no mistaking it- and must be worn with heels for full flattering effect. It’s one of those pieces you don't feel like you need today but you’re especially happy to have in your closet when the occasion calls for it. It’s the hero piece that's waiting for you when you need it the most.
