Just Got Back From L.A. — 8 Trends Everyone Wears There

I just spent the week in Los Angeles and was waiting for the opportunity to talk about it, so here we go. As a New Yorker in her own right who's built her whole personality around the city that never sleeps, I'm well aware that there can be some competition between the two coasts. I'm here to tell you that this rivalry is something I have no interest in participating in.

Every time I visit L.A., (four times in the past 365 days but who's counting), I convince myself it's time to get bicoastal. As a Gemini, having multiple personalities is kind of my thing and I think the L.A. version of myself deserves to be unleashed. I spent my time there living with locals in Laurel Canyon, spending the weekend in Santa Monica, and staying at my favorite place, 1 Hotel West Hollywood for the rest of my trip. The verdict is in: L.A. is a city worth visiting.

As ​​I explored the different neighborhoods of the vast city, I couldn't help but notice the different approaches they take to fashion there. At dinner, I saw people dining in the closest thing I could describe to pajamas. In New York, a dress and heels became a requirement for leaving the house, period, but I was inspired by the effortlessly chic look that many L.A. girls wore. Of those who dressed up, a few of my favorite trends were rampant all over town, so I decided to start a list on my phone to answer the age-old question, "What is L.A. fashion. really are you wearing right now?" The answers can be found below.
