Sweaters + Leather

Hey, hey! Can you guys believe it’s already December 3rd today? Where did the year run off to? I’m keeping things warm and cozy in this bell sleeve sweater lately.

Being that it’s December I’m reflecting back on the year a little bit. Not only on life in general and all the changes that have happened (hello moving across the country) but also on my personal style…. click ‘Continue Reading’ to read the post.

SHOPBOP Sale Favorites

When ShopBop has a sale, you shop. Duh, right?! I was SO excited to see that one of my all time favorite retailers was having a buy more, save more sale. Mostly because I’ve been wanting to order like 25 different things from them recently and this gives me the perfect excuse! Disclaimer: I’m really not ordering 25 different things, more like 3 because mama’s on a budget but still – better than nothing! 

You can hover over the images above and click the little plus signs that pop up to shop, or scroll through more of my favorite sale picks below. And in case you’re curious what I’m ordering – definitely these Levi’s because they’re already on sale for $61, this cami from CAMI NYC because they look so luxe and I’ve wanted one forever, and this necklace because I love a good 90’s trend every now and again! read more

Winter Gingham

Living in San Diego comes with a lot of perks – one of them is the weather. I can’t lie, sometimes I miss the snow and want to bundle up in chic layers but I am soaking up the good weather while I can. This past weekend we had a little bit of some warmer than usual weather which was so nice! I decided to wear this cute gingham dress with some metallic booties and a moto jacket to give it more of a ‘fall’ feel.

I can totally see this dress with some cute sandals, a sun hat, and a straw bag for summer too! The perfect transition piece. And for you girls in areas where you can’t get away with a dress in January – you could always pair it with some thick tights and over the knee boots! read more

This might sound really bad but the attire that generally goes along with certain holidays has always drove me a bit crazy. I feel horrible saying that but it’s just the truth. St. Patty’s Day, New Years Eve, Fourth of July, etc. Don’t get me wrong – I often like to participate in these holidays and celebrate in my own way I am just not a fan of going all out, dressing in green from head to toe and getting wasted. Ya know? This year for Independence Day I thought I would share a few tips on how to dress festive but not go over board and be a walking American Flag – you know, if you aren’t into that sort of thing. read more
