Customized Classics from Sumissura

Have you guys heard of Sumissura? I was introduced to them last year (you can see me wearing their clothing here and here) and I gotta say, I’m all about the custom situation they offer – especially since it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Naturally, I wanted to share a couple of new items I’m loving from them at the moment.

First of all let me just say that the way things work with social media these days everyone seems to buy and wear the same items. That can get a little…boring. No? Anyhow, that’s why it’s so refreshing to me to be able to add some customization to my clothing. Not only in size, but maybe I’ll switch up the lining or add different colored buttons or thread. The opportunity to make something unique allows your personal style to come out.  read more

Investing in Versatile Fall Pieces

Stripe Topshop Pants Street styleBeing someone who is a little on the short side I always thought I couldn’t wear wide leg pants. Don’t get me wrong, I was definitely rocking my flared jeans in high school but I mean those really voluminous, flowy, wide legged pants. After playing with a few different pairs I started to realize it really comes down to how you style them. You can to do what works for your body and above all, what feels most comfortable. So while some taller women may be able to put these on with some cute little slides I feel they work best with my frame with a little bit of a heel. Doesn’t mean you won’t catch me running around in these, a comfy t-shirt and sneakers, but I also think they will pair really well with scrappy heels and an off the shoulder top. read more

best items from nordstrom anniversay sale 2017

Every once in a while you come across something that you know you must have in your closet! That is how I felt when I saw this jacket! I remember originally seeing it last fall but then every time I went to order it, it was sold out in my size! Major sad face. Fast forward to this year and it’s a part of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale – annnd they had my size. There was a little hunting involved as I had ordered it for pickup at my local Nordstrom and then after I already ordered it they cancelled my order because they no longer had it in store! Anyhow, long story short…I called and they actually DID have one left in my size and put it on hold for me (even though they aren’t supposed to during the sale!) and I rushed over there, baby in tow, and got myself the jacket. I love the embroidery detail and I’ve found it is the perfect way to jazz up some black skinnies and a t-shirt. read more

Summer Love

Happy Monday! We have had some overcast weather lately here in San Diego but the sun finally came through this weekend! I am loving embroidered everything right now and couldn’t pass up these shorts. I love that the embroidery on them isn’t too overwhelming like on some of the pieces I am seeing right now! Hope you all have an awesome week!

Does anyone else feel like the weekend went by WAY to fast?! I can’t believe it is Monday already! I wore this look over the weekend and swapped my heels out for flats during the day while we were out walking around. I love wearing heels but at the end of the day comfort usually wins haha!

I have been obsessing over gingham print tops this spring! This one is only $22 and comes in two other colors – so cute for summer! It’s from SheIn and if you guys haven’t shopped there before the quality always seems to be on point – especially for such low price points! read more
