{GBF Life + Style + Video} Day to Night in Reiss

When I was at USC law school, I made many visits to the Reiss store on Robertson Blvd to elevate and refine my style game. Out goes American Apparel. The Brits are coming! If I needed a cute blouse for law mixers, I got it from Reiss. A stylish yet proper pantsuit for on-campus interviews? Back to Reiss. After a while, the scope of my relationship with the UK luxury fashion house spread to other facets of my life. I found myself going to them when I needed pretty frocks for dinner parties and wore their slinky shirts and flirty skirts at bar review (a Thursday night ritual consisting of bar hopping and dancing off-key). It became my one stop shop for my day and night life. In law school, Reiss was there for me.

And now we're back together! Last week, my kindred fashion spirit and fellow lawyer Lynsey and I shot a style video showing how to take Reiss from office hours to after hours. There are some people you are destined to meet and L is one of them. A mutual friend set us up after realizing we're the same person. She's bubbly, giggly, and is as obsessed with fashion as me (if not more). And yeah, she's a hardcore lawyer. Talk about breaking the mold into a thousand pieces! She and I hold steadfast to the belief that you don't have work corporate to look corporate as passion for fashion transcends cubicles, board rooms, and court rooms.

It was so fun spending the afternoon in West Hollywood shooting the video. Special thanks goes out to my friends at Bollare and Tortilla Republic. And mad props to our videographer Joshua Makela whose talents are absolutely limitless!
