Sunny California weather is often the topic of daydream for many of us living in the depths of snowfall here in Canada. We dress in our own way to keep warm, but there's nothing like dressing as if you're in a Los Angeles state of mind. That's the beauty of fashion, dressing a certain trend can make you take on a different persona and feel a different type of way. This is no encouragement to run out into the snow wearing a T-shirt and literally dressing like you live in L.A., but the right time and occasion calls for some L.A. style.

So, what defines L.A. style, and how can we bring a little bit of it into our lives?

The L.A. girl is a carefree, fun-loving, living in the moment, making-her-dreams-happen kind of girl. She is spontaneous, sassy and loves getting attention from what she's wearing, all in one outfit.

L.A. is the city of dreams, where dreams can be made or crushed. Regardless of the risk, dreamers take it for a chance to catch their big break and make it big, so they have to stand out above the rest of the people who have the same ambitions. They want to be famous, they want to make a name for themselves and they want the world to watch them.

Naturally the L.A. girl is busy, and she's always on the go. She throws on whatever she feels in the moment that makes her feel sassy, comfortable and the role she wants to play.

In the featured picture, this girl glamorously woke up in her boyfriend tee with fabulous hair, nails and makeup done. She threw on standout jewelry to dress up the casualty of the outfit and a pair of casual aviators to face the day, pieces that she found on her way out to the audition or meeting that might make her the next somebody.

The L.A. girl is always fashionable regardless of what she wears; whatever she throws on, she owns it. It doesn't matter if it is a ripped pair of jeans from 10 years ago paired with a pair of expensive Christian Louboutin heels with a $2 earring she found at a bazaar, this girl commits to the outfit. She doesn't wait for trends, she makes them and even if it has already been done, she will reinvent it and infuse it with where she came from.

Don't expect this girl to be wearing the same outfit twice either — she will restyle it with her new findings, cut up her garments to remake them and make them new again. The L.A. style is anything that makes you feel carefree, innovative, creative and make you feel like the sun is right above your head when you walk around all day in a snowstorm.
