Fringe Binge

October 2, 2015

Love love love this fringe kimono! It has amazing colors throughout the pattern that allow for some great shade pairings.. a teal bag, purple and blue bracelets, orangey-brown boots.. And is an ideal layering piece for making the transition from summer to fall. Kimonos can easily add that “third-piece” finishing touch when worn with a tank and shorts, a shirt and jeans, or leggings and a slim-fit tunic.

Nude Tones

September 23, 2015

You may recognize this Pleione midi skirt from a recent post.. I decided to go more tone-on-tone this time, pairing it with nude heels and a slate blue and blush patterned crop top. The bag is one of my picks this round from Le Tote, the clothing & accessory subscription service. For more info on Le Tote, or to sign up, click here to get $25 off your first Tote. If you do sign up, I get a commission, but obviously I’m using the service because I like and recommend it, it’s totally up to you! 🙂

This is day two of my Instagram style challenge with Shannon from Layered by Cake Boutique. The idea is to #makeyourjeansjealous and I think this outfit does just that! I would totally wear this top and heels with jeans, but swapping them out for the colorblocked skirt lends a more polished, feminine vibe.

CA Gift Show Jewelry Haul

I’m so excited for this post! I’ll keep this short and just get to the goods, my collective jewelry haul from the California Gift Show!

I can’t wait to style all of these new pretties!
The gems in the last four shots are from Kyle Chan Design, the others are from random vendors at the show.

Rose Maxi Dress

July 6, 2015

I instantly fell in love with this dress when I saw it on HM.com. One thing I didn’t realize is that it features thigh-high slits on either side! Fantastic for a pool party or brunch, but a little too revealing to wear this stunner to work. It happened to be quite warm this day, as is more often the case than not since July has rolled around, so the slits worked well for ventilation 😉
I thought there no better place to shoot this look than the grounds at Kimberly Crest, a local historical gem with gorgeous views of the city. It’s one of my favorite places to visit on my day off to just let the stress from the week melt away.
