Established in 1964, Dan Tana’s is a true Los Angeles institution. Loved by locals and celebrities alike, on any given night you may bump into anyone from Hilary Duff, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, or George Clooney… so you best bring your A-game.

DantanaThough it is considered a “steak house” this place reads old school Italian to me. There is nothing fancy shmancy or over the top here. The red vinyl booths and checkered table cloths give a cute and kitschy feel (though I doubt they put thought into it). You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. From spaghetti and meatballs to chicken parm, you will surely leave satisfied and stuffed.

Why Did You Wear That: The Essentials

As I’m getting older (and older… and older…) I have come to realize that what they say about “quality over quantity” is oh-so-very true. During my last closet clean out, I noticed that I had a ton of garbage and duplicate garbage that when added together could have amounted to one really nice piece as opposed to several shitty pieces. Just like friends, boyfriends, and old receipts… sometimes you’ve got to clean out the old, to make room for the new.

Black Pants: You may think of these as boring and what waitresses/caterers wear, but they are a fool proof option for dressing up, dressing sexy, or dressing for work. They can carry you from summer to winter seamlessly. Get a pair that fits you well or have them tailored to get them just right.

White Blouse: There is nothing more classic than a clean white shirt. A simple white blouse can be worn in so many different ways and can be incredibly alluring when styled correctly.

Cashmere Sweater: An absolute must for any girl on the go. Stashing your lightweight cardi somewhere handy can take you from day to night.

Pencil Skirt: I don’t think anyone would argue that there’s nothing sexier than a woman in a well fit pencil skirt and heels. This is an absolute necessity and any chic girl’s closet.

Classic Pumps: Even if they hurt a little, a classic pair of black pumps can be worn with just about anything (including your black pants or pencil skirt).

Everyday Bag: This is basically your day to day carry on luggage. You need to carry everything from your wallet, to your change of shoes, to your portfolio. Needs to be durable and preferably have a lot of pockets to stash your goodies and keep you organized.

Clutch: All it needs to hold is your credit cards, ID, cash, cellphone, keys, lipgloss and camera- all while being cute.

Trench: A classic trench is a staple for brisk fall days and chilly spring nights.

So clean out the clutter and replace it with quality staple pieces that will last.

Why Did You Wear That: Waisting Away

11167_1_230When I’m already fifteen minutes late and still staring blankly into my closet, I pull out my “go to” secret weapon- the body-con dress. Simple as it may be, when styled correctly and I haven’t just ingested a 2lb steak, the body-con dress is a surefire hit.  A good body-con dress will hug you in all the right places without being overtly sexy. Meaning, you don’t need to be showing off all the goods (T & A) with a neckline down to your belly button and and a skirt up to your toned tushy.

Sometimes what isn’t showing is sexier than showing Victoria’s Secret amounts of skin. Wearing something that emphasizes your curves gives you the whole “hourglass” thing. Trust me ladies, there’s nothing sexier than showing off that little waist and your child bearing hips. It is scientifically proven that the hip to waist ratio is considered “attractive” to the opposite sex.  The “ideal” hip to waist ratio for women is .7. Ask my best guy friend, Matty, who has been trying to convince me of this for years.

So, here are some great options if you want to test out this scientific theory:

Here’s how I wore mine Friday night (obv, still without an intern):

Don’t forget to invest in the proper undergarments for this body skimming silhouette. Now, if your tummy isn’t as toned as you’d like, don’t fret my pet! There’s always Spanx to suck you in and play a little trompe l’oeil. Because it’s never been “hip” to be square.
