I recently spent the day with Blackbook Magazine and Joe Fresh, discussing how I get ready for spring.

As a luxury lifestyle blogger, my job is to keep up with the latest trends in the industry. I travel the world searching for the best new products, services, and discoveries in the world of luxury lifestyle. I love the fast pace of digital media, because it keeps me on my toes at all times. Like the industry, I am constantly changing and evolving, and in a way, I get to hit refresh and become someone new with every season.

So like the old saying goes, “Out with the old, in with the new,” Something about the warmer weather, flowers blooming, and summer in the near future makes me want to start fresh not only with my inspirations and my blog, but also in every aspect of my life.

I love to get outside in the spring. I travel a lot, but there is no better time to stay in town and to utilize the beautiful weather Los Angeles brings us this time of year. Many may argue that L.A. is beautiful 364 days out of the year, but springtime is particularly delightful. For spring, I’ve resolved to take as many activities as I can outside! I find inspiration all over L.A. in spring. This means eating al fresco at my favorite restaurants like Culina and Ysabel, reading a book in my backyard, working on my laptop at quaint French bistros like Zinque or Bottega Louie, taking a jog on Big Dume beach in Malibu, listening to live jazz on the LACMA lawn, and going for an early dinner on the roof atSoho House to catch the sunset.

With the new season also comes spring cleaning: Cleaning out the fridge to make way for healthier seasonal finds from the farmers market; cleaning out my closet to make room for new pieces (like my Joe Fresh distressed boyfriend jeans and light colored basic tees that I live in); cleaning house to make way for guests that inevitably come visit this time of year.

It always feels great to have a clean slate with spring offering the perfect chance to start fresh.
