Susie Wright’s shopping and style tips are always of interest. After all, she’s an experienced fashion professional that clearly knows her stuff with her work as a stylist and blogger (her site

is So Susie) and her previous role as a Nordstrom buyer. While she calls Portland home, she often heads down to Los Angeles when she’s looking for fresh sartorial inspiration. She actually just got back from one of her trips, so we wanted to get a sense of what inspired her.

"I love going to L.A., and always come back with lots of great inspo," she said. "Since it’s only a quick two-hour flight, it’s easy for me to go several times a year for trend shopping, people watching for street style, and, of course, eating at all the fun new spots." On that note, Wright shared with us the specific items she’s wearing even more of or is starting to wear after being influenced by that effortless California aesthetic. For reference, the pieces in question are all chic and easy to style.
