We had such a great time collaborating with WILMA on their winter style section! One of the quirks of coastal living is our mild winters—even as we write this in November, we’re enjoying 80-degree days. Styling and photographing a winter-themed section can be a challenge, but we leaned into our unique coastal vibe to create looks that are perfect for layering.
Picture those flowy dresses paired with crisp white button-downs and lightweight cardigans. Add a pop of color with bright tights under our denim cowgirl dress, and you’re all set to welcome winter, coastal style.
Downtown Girlie
Meet your new favorite day-to-night piece: a vibrant red dress that’s perfect for both the office and evening plans. This season’s standout red dress brings an air of chic sophistication with its self-sash corded belt, accented by delicate gold ball beads and playful fabric tassels. (We have to admit—we accidentally styled the belt backwards in the shoot!) With a collared neckline, long sleeves, and a polished silhouette, the dress flows into a full skirt in a rich red hue that’s party-ready and unforgettable for any festive occasion.

Denim Cowgirl
We designed this look with the effortlessly cool, local record store girl in mind—the one who knows that denim is always a classic (but especially this season). From layered denim overshirts and cozy jeans to full denim dresses, there are endless ways to refresh your look.
A good pair of jeans is an essential in any wardrobe, and this season, denim-on-denim is officially a “do.” The runways have embraced wide-leg jeans, tonal denim layers, and all things Western-inspired. So, whether you’re mixing washes or rocking a full denim set, this season is all about leaning into that Western vibe and making denim your own.
