Graphic Tee Goodness

Hello everyone!!

I'm sorry this month has been lighter on posts, I have been so busy and am not finding as much time for pictures lately. I have been able to keep my Instagram up to date with various style posts, but the blog has been more difficult to keep up. However, I definitely will be picking up the pace in the next few weeks because I already have so many fall looks to share with you all.

I am a sucker for a good graphic tee. I love the vintage look of this "The Who" tee. I searched for the tee at several Urban Outfitters locations before finally just ordering it online. I knew I wanted to pair it with a high waisted skirt, and this corduroy one was perfect. I love the tucked in look so that the details of the skirt can still be seen, and I threw on some gold jewelry to add some interest. Add some booties and you got yourself an edgy, stylist summer look, and when it cools down a cargo jacket will be the perfect addition to the outfit.

Details below.

Seattle Style

Hello readers! 

Just wanted to share a few pictures (as promised) from my Seattle trip. The scenery was so beautiful, full of luscious green nature and blue skies. The weekend was filled with farmers market goodies, exploring every part of the city, and boating around Lake Washington. It was so nice to be able to wear a sweater and pants around and feel like fall is actually upon us. We also went to a music festival in the city one day and got to see The Weeknd perform (along with a few others)! This was my second time visiting this lovely city (and my best friend who lives there) and I will definitely be back for more. If any of you have the chance to visit I highly recommend it!

Spell in Seattle

Hello loves!!

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!! I got to spend the long weekend in Seattle with a few of my best friends, and of course I squeezed in some time for blog photos. I was loving the cool weather in Seattle because it has been so freaking hot in San Diego. I have collected so many sweaters and layering pieces for fall, and it has been so hard to wear them at home, so I was happy to take the chance to wear some of them in Seattle. I will be sharing another post about my trip later this week, with some more photos, but first I wanted to share my new denim romper!

I am so in love with this romper. It was perfect for the cooler weather, and when the sun peaked out during the day I was happy to be wearing shorts and not pants. This romper is from Spell Designs, so I knew it would be amazing quality, but it was the embroidery that really got me. There are cute little western-inspired details all over the romper, from cacti, to skulls and desert flowers. I tried to include some detailed shots to get a closer look, but I think the details add just the right amount of interest to the piece.

I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

Sundays are for Soft Pants

Happy weekend-ing readers!!

I am such a big fan of pieces that are fashionable yet deceivingly comfortable, so I had to share my latest obsession: the soft pant. Soft pants are so huge right now, and there are so many different styles out there. They are so fun because they can be dressed up or down, patterned or solid, and various lengths. I have been searching for a fun pair for the fall, and these Cleobella pants were perfect!! I knew they would be great quality because of the brand, but the pattern and the fit are what did it for me. Oh and the fact that they were on sale of course... 

For relaxing summer days I have been throwing these on with simple tops and some sandals for a casual look. However, in the fall I see myself wearing the pants with booties, a tight top, and an edgy jacket on top. 

What are you all thinking of the soft pants trend? Too much like pjs, or a sneaky way to be comfortable and look chic doing it?

Red Hot

Hello lovelies!!

I hope everyone is having an awesome week! I have been outside enjoying the last moments of this sweet summer, and shopping away of course. I have been eyeing this red maxi skirt at Free People for weeks, and I finally had to grab it! The slits on the sides make it so light and perfect for a hot day, and the color is so fun. 

That night when I got home from work I also had received some of my most recent online orders, and this For Love & Lemons bra was waiting at my house. First of all.. this bra is ON SALE!! I know it's not the easiest to style (besides wearing it to bed or underneath a shirt), but I knew what to do with it right away. I grabbed a little white tank and threw it on underneath. This worked out perfect, still allowing the beautiful flower details to stand out, while also allowing the top to look more like a top and not a bra. 

I threw on my new booties and was ready for a beautiful day in the sun. Speaking of my booties... they were featured on the Free People Instagram yesterday!! It felt so amazing to be noticed by a brand that I love so much (and work for), and it was great to get so much exposure! My hard work is definitely paying off, and I'm having such a blast sharing my love for fashion with everyone. 

SO many exciting things to come!

Dressing up Distressed Denim

Hello readers!!

As I have mentioned, here in San Diego it is hard to believe fall is truly approaching with all of this sunshine, but I am still finding ways to transition into fall styles. I am loving some distressed denim right now, and it can definitely act as a great transition piece. I have been living in these One Teaspoon distressed jeans. I had been eyeing them for a few months before ordering them online, especially because they come in so many colors, but the deep blue took the cake for me. What's great about having such holey jeans is that they are very light and breezy and perfect for warm weather when you still want to wear jeans.

I paired these jeans (and leather belt to hold them up) with a white crochet top, and a lovely gold layered necklace. To dress up the look a little more I threw on my strappy Free People heels. I love pairing these jeans with some booties or chunky heels, because I feel like it takes a super casual jean to a whole new level. Throw on a cute cargo jacket and you have yourself an adorable fall look! But for now, no jacket needed!

Hope this gave you all some ideas about how to dress up some of your casual denim.

Fall Transition

Let's talk about this whole seasons thing... Living in San Diego makes it pretty rough to imagine wearing anything but shorts and tank tops, but as August continues the fall season is truly approaching, and along with the new season comes new fashion!! Working in the fashion world I have gotten to see first hand how quickly companies begin to push the next season. I have been watching so many fall pieces flow into my Free People store. Although right now it is still very much summer weather in San Diego, I decided to start building my fall wardrobe, but in a way that works for this weather.

The weather is still so hot out, so instead of jeans, booties, and a chunky sweater, I am grabbing fall colored pieces that can be styled for 90 degrees. A perfect example is this vegan leather mini skirt! I LOVE the color of this skirt, and right away I pictured it with a soft, white tee and some brown booties. I love how this white tee (that I've been living in) makes the look much more casual, and summer appropriate. I layered up a few necklaces to pull the look together (and because I always have to wear jewelry of course).

Oh and, THESE SHOES.... These babies are my first fall booties for the upcoming season, and I can't get enough of them. I love the woven leather at the top, and the color is perfect for any fall look. They are very comfortable (with a thick chunky heel), and the heel isn't too tall for me! These booties take this fall look to the next level, and you will definitely be seeing a lot of them in the upcoming months.

Hope this gives you all some ideas for dressing in the fall when it's still hot out! More styles to come!
