Going to fashion week in New York City was beyond amazing, but it got me to thinking. The West Coast fashions are so opposite than the New York 'street style'. While at fashion week I am proud to say I got 'Street Styled' (A popular fashion blogger asked to take my picture and interviewed me about my style).

She mentioned that she like my style because it was lighter and brighter than those seen in New York. That night I got to thinking about my visit to California over the summer and...she is right, my style can sometimes be more 'West Coast' than 'East Coast', which is never a bad thing! I began to point out the differences between California and New York style...

I definitely don't mean to bash New York, I love it there. But maybe it was just the weather from this past visit that made me wish I was back in Los Angeles and start analyze the deeper styles. After this research I definitely find myself more of a West Coast girl, feeling the need to wear white jeans all year long and loving the pastels and light scents of the beach. xoxo

What kind of style do you identify with?
I used to travel quite a bit between NYC and LA, and my friend would joke that he knew where I was heading based on the clothes I packed -- black and gray for NYC and turquoise and pink for LA. Looks like things haven't changed that much!
