Ankle Booties: A "Shoe"-in for Summer!

Traditional fashion rules dictate that boots have to be put away when summer rolls around. BUT, this summer, ankle booties seem to be sticking around a little longer. Some days might be too hot for anything but sandals, but milder weather can be a good time to put your ankle booties into use! A neutral pair is a great investment and really lengthens your legs, but we also like darker colors, as you'll see below. (Jenna's purple pair are from Urban Outfitters). Pair them with a mini skirt, shorts, or a dress, and your booties will take on a whole new life. They add a slightly dressier edge to your look without the discomfort of heels. (Yes!) This look is perfect for class, concerts, shopping days, and casual dates. Also keep in mind that since "boot" season is over, you might find some perfectly good pairs on clearance! Let us know what you think, and don't give your boots the boot!

Stylish Bruin Spotlight: Anna LaPlaca

This week, we decided to feature a truly stylish Bruin: Anna LaPlaca.  She just started her own fashion and lifestyle blog: As Told By Flo.  Inspired by the boho vibes à la Vanessa Hudgens, Anna rocks a pair of floral shorts and detailed white top.  She edges her outfit up with cool shades and black slip ons that both Jenna and I now want to get ourselves... obsessed. Her look is the perfect combo of edgy and boho. Check out more of her outfits on her blog:  AsToldByFlo.com

Red Carpet Ready.

This past weekend, I had the unforgettable opportunity to attend the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas.  It was a weekend full of running around backstage, rocking out during soundcheck, and strutting down the red carpet.  I got to see first hand all the hard work that is involved in making the Billboards such an entertaining and phenomenal show.  Sunday was show day, which meant lights, camera... red carpet.  To get red carpet ready, I woke up extra early to get all glammed up. (and in a classic Chloe move I almost glued one of my eyes shut while applying eyelashes...oops!)  I decided to post all the details to my red carpet outfit. In honor of the hot summer weather, I went for a fun, colorful outfit for the show. I chose a two piece skort and crop top combo, both from LF.  I loved the pastel colors in the skort and the detailing in the top.  It definitely kept my cool all day under that hot desert sun.
