Style Watch with Pop Basic

by with No Comment beautycharitycommunityfashionuncategorized

Basics are all you need to dress up or dress down for any event and today’s style watch features Pop Basic and how I styled myself in this business chic outfit for an occasion. 

This week I did a guest spot on Inside The Noise, a radio station hosted by two hilarious and witty actors, Chrissy and Barry right here in L.A.  I thought, oh I don’t need to dress up or anything it’s just my voice. But then I thought, wait, they’re going to do photos and behind the scenes video, so I decided that I should probably put myself together. 

I went with a business chic lil number, and if you know me than you know I love being comfortable but there are times when I have to be trendy and professional, and this is my happy medium. I’ve been talking about Pop Basic for the past few weeks because it’s something I recently discovered, so if we’re friends and you’ve already heard this spiel it’s ok, love me still 😉 

So unlike a normal subscription you hear about where they pester you each month, Pop Basic is something you check in at your leisure for their latest and greatest collections, and it’s an awesome way to stay trendy but in the comfort of your own style preferences. I like being trendy but I struggle with it because being comfortable is just too strong of an emotion for me. So this month when I saw the basics they are featuring, I just really enjoyed the colors and how I knew I could style them so many different ways.  

They feature micro collections each month and this month is the Paloma collection, with it’s grey leather clutch, and featuring a rose gold zipper. I accessorized this outfit with the Paloma clutch, and I don’t usually wear clutches because they’re too small to carry most of my things, but this clutch is pretty spacey. 

For the outfit itself, I took the Pop Basic white tee, tied it up on the side since my skirt is pretty scrunchy on one side, and paired it with my black asymmetrical skirt. Over top I threw on my Forever 21 black blazer, wore my Steve Madden strapped DeJaVu pumps, and popped on this beautiful necklace my friend Lindsay Albanese gave me. I finished off this business-y chic-y (is that a word?) look with my Urban Outfitters sunnies and off I went! 

Not featured in this photo is the 3rd basic that came in this month’s Pop Basic delivery, a grey striped infinity scarf. It’s a bit warm here in L.A. so I opted out of the scarf, but when I do style it with an outfit, I’ll be sure to show you what I do with it! Each month they also send you a lil make up goodie as a treat and this month I got a strawberry lip gloss that doubles as an awesome lip balm!

Probably the only fashion thing I’m fairly good at is dressing up and dressing down my basics, they’re versatile and no matter how you outfit them, they’re comfortable and that’s important to me. What’s your favorite style of clothing to wear, your go to look?

I’ll link everything I’m wearing just click on the item in my description and it’ll let you shop the look. Pop Basic also has a referral program so here is mine to you 😀 $15 your collection here! And they offer free shipping world wide so if you get the Paloma collection, tag me on Twitter or Instagram so I can see how you styled your basics!

So that’s my style watch for today, see you next week when I’ll talk about crop tops and how obsessed I am with them. Any styles you obsessed with as of lately? Let me know, I love hearing from you all! Oh and if you want to see me talking about this in my video blog, it’s live on my YouTube channel here.

OOTD – Movin’ and groovin’!

by with No Comment beautycharitycommunityfashion
I may have a slight love obsession with leggings. I mean I have them in every color imaginable, exhibit A below. So today I met with my dream team over at Game Show Network and we have a new show concept coming up and I’m so excited about it. Pretty much hosting is all I want to do right now so it’s all I’ve been doing. I like using words and energy and tossing them at an audience. Also this is what I wore today, here’s today OOTD- style watch – dressing up leggings so that you can perform normal every day functions without looking like you just came from the gym 😉 

It’s all about dressing cute but more importantly, comfortable for me. Unless I’m on a stage or hosting a show, you won’t find me in dresses and pumps. I like to dress up when I got out, but my daily grind look is just like this. Flats, leggings, a tank, an accessory, and a jacket or kimono. 

The flats are from Tieks link here, the pants are from JustFab here, and the necklace is from Twisted Faith Jewlery here. I love color blocking with my Tieks, I could very well be crazy, but I’m pretty sure red goes with everything! I also am obsessed with royal blue and these JF leggings hug like a glove and I feel like with an accessory and a jacket, that it’s really day wear and not just sports wear. 

The tank is from Target here, and the jacket is from Forever 21 here, yes forever 21, that is where I’m at, not a day older…..ever. I’ve actually never worn my Twisted Faith necklace with anything other than a dressy look, so it was nice to get to wear it with a more casual look. 

I love that it has that antique-y feel yet it’s simplistic, I can wear it with this tank and not feel like it’s too much. I love the cuts in the stone, ( I love wearing stones period) but I also love the length. It sits just where my 3rd and 4th button would be if I had buttons on this tank. And the jacket, well I wear a jacket 24/7 even if it’s warm out, so this distressed black denim jacket was nice to layer on top of it all. 

I have a video coming out this week of my hair and makeup look that I did here, so be on the look out for that. I’ve been inspired by fashion lately….and music. And macaroons. Odd combination I know, but that’s what’s happening with me. Do you like cute/comfy, or are you a dressy/formal kind of person? 


Have a wonderful day and happy Mother’s Day to all your mommas out there!

Getting my fix!

by with No Comment beautycharitycommunityfashion

Hi! I know it’s been a bit since I’ve written a post on here, so much is going on, so lets catch up! If you watch me on YouTube than you know I’m vlogging daily on my channel now. Click here to check those out, it’s ‘vlog a day in May’, which means I pick up my camera every day and video blog my life. I’m used to doing comedy, writing sketches, being impersonal about things so this is very different for me, but I like it! Also I started a blog with my daughter Corrine, click here for it, it’s called spoiledpeaches.com and she and I take turns over there writing posts. It’s a way for she and I to stay connected while she is away at college so I’m starting now! So today I’ll share with you my style watch for the week, it’s a few pieces I received from Stitch Fix. 



So Stitch Fix is a monthly service that I subscribe to, where a personal stylist sends me a box of clothes that fit my style profile, my sense of style, and that are on trend. Now if I’m not being styled by someone on set, or my daughter doesn’t help dress me, I do not know fashion. I would live in uggs and sweats if it weren’t for monthly little packages being sent to me, dressing me up. 

The dress above is one of the 3 pieces I kept from the box and I sent the rest back. It’s convenient for me since they include a return bag and label, just to pop in what I don’t want to keep and send back. The clothes come once a month and I can choose to keep and pay for the pieces I want, or send it all back. The monthly fee I pay for that service is $20, but I usually make that back in purchases as the stylist that I have knows my style pretty well I think. 

Here are some of the other items that came in this months shipment. They send 5 things at a time, 4 pieces of clothing, usually 2 tops, a dress or skirt, a pair of jeans or slacks, and an accessory of some kind. 

So I ended up just keeping the skinny jeans, the dress I’m wearing, and the arrow cuff bracelet. The two tops were not really my style, a lil too loose fitting and plain for something I would host in, yet too dressy for my normal casual lifestyle. So I sent the two blouses back and the things I kept they automatically charged me for upon receipt of my return. Pretty awesome service! 

What I like most is that I don’t have to think about what’s on trend, what’s up and coming, I set it all in my style profile, I switch it up sometimes from business casual, as seen above, to dressy, or sometimes I go super boho and only request flowy skirts and off the shoulder tops. Check out the service if you need a lil help like me, let me know what you think! And if you’re already a member, let me know what was in your fix this month!

See you here later next week and over on our spoiledpeaches.com blog. 

Stay awesome!

Stye Watch – Urban Casual Meets Casual Chic!

by with No Comment beautycharitycommunityfashion
It’s style watch time! So besides sharing the recipes I love, listing my favorite things to do, and my lifestyle tips,  I will also bring you my favorite fashion trends! This is some of my personal style and my spin on some of the current trends. 

If you know me personally than you know that I love comfort! You’ll find me in heels when I host and at events, but when I’m lounging around or running errands around town, it’s all about that cute and comfortable kind of style!

I recently teamed up with the Cotton Supply Co. who I love for their feminine cuts yet comfortable in fit. Here are some ways that I dress up and dress down my tees! Click here to shop the look!

Above is their ‘City Of Angels’ tank in black, and I took it and added my own urban flare to it by wearing it over leggins and paired with grey wedged sneakers. Under the tee I have on a lacey blue bandeau and over top, a printed vest. I fell inlove with this aztec gold necklace from Urban Outfitters so I put that on and grabbed my grey tote and off I went for a tea time date! The perfect pair of sunnies and some gold bangles finished off the look, and I felt cute and trendy, but most of all, comfortable! 

For my birthday I went with casual chic. I just love taking tee shirts and sassing them up with some accessories and a sexy pair of pumps! It takes the look from casual to chic with just some simple additions of accessories, and a minor tuck of the tee! 

In this look I took the ‘Malibu White’ tee and tied it up on the side (remember the 80’s style side knots?! Yes those! I did that to this tee and it rocked!), and paired it with an asymmetrical black skirt which took the look  from casual to chic as you see above. 

My JustFab pumps sexy-fied the outfit, and I figured that with the skirt and the side zipper jacket, it would dress the outfit up enough to go out for my birthday dinner, and it was! For my accessories I kept it pretty simple, a silver antique necklace for a lil sparkle on my neck, some silver stacked bangles, and my black sunnies! 

Since my outfit was pretty dressed up, I tied my hair up in a top knot, kept my makeup to a smokey eye and a nude lip, and off we went to explore San Diego’s Gaslamp District! So fun! Click here to shop the look! 

I think you can take any casual piece of clothing and dress it up, dress it down, take it to chic, or even give it an urban feel just by accessorizing it with some mood inspired pieces. Shoes can make any outfit say what you want it to say, and adding a simple jacket or vest can elevate your outfit as well! 

Keep that in mind if ever you need some fashion inspiration, and if you like some of the pieces I have above, you can get 20% off with jess20 at checkout! Thanks to the Cotton Supply Co for sharing the love with my audience! Check them out and tag me on Instagram and Twitter so I can see how you style the tees! 

I have some more style watch posts coming from you soon so stay tuned! 😀 

Keep stylin you sexy thang!
