Sunny Saturday

Who doesn't love a tweed jacket? If you don't, we can't be friends. I'm kidding, I'd still love you. 

But seriously, tweed jackets are so chic and classic. Thank you to Coco Chanel for making these jackets such a statement piece for a woman's wardrobe. I still wanted a relaxed, bohemian look with my tweed jacket today so I paired mine with some ripped skinnies and gold, gladiator sandals. 

What do you all think? Are tweed jackets all that and a bag of potato chips? I think so.

Splashes of Color

Happy Friday, y'all! Here's to a wonderful weekend! :) 

Tonight I went to a fun concert with my sister and husband. I went with something colorful and summery for the occasion. This maxi is one of my favorites due to its print and halter neck.

Lilac Lace

Who doesn't love the shade of lilac? It's so soft and feminine. I love loved lilac and lavender since I was a little girl. This skirt is so beautiful not only because of its color, but also its material: lace. I love the delicate, girly nature of the piece. I wanted the skirt to do all of the talking so I paired it with a simple tank and gold jewelry. I love the fishtail braid and how it fits the look as well.

On Wednesdays We Wear Fuchsia

On Wednesdays we wear fuchsia. Who doesn't love this fun, gorgeous color? I paired this romper with a matching fuchsia lipstick from MAC. What woman doesn't want to have a "girly" moment in pink? 

Now excuse me while I go sneak away to watch Mean Girls. 
              "Get in loser. We're going shopping."
                        "That's so fetch." 
                        "Is butter a carb?"
                    "She doesn't even go here!" 
Okay, okay .... I think you are getting that I live for this movie.

Leather Moment

Who doesn't love a leather moment? Or in my case, a pleather moment. I love a clean, white and black combination ... nothing too overdone. The front tuck of the blouse helps to balance out the looseness of the top itself. 

These pleather pants were a bargain at H&M. I believe I purchased them for around $30.00. They are a great go-to for closet basics.

Red and White

Happy Memorial Day! As I celebrated today and gave thanks to the men and women who have fought and continued to fight for our freedom, I went with something to suit the holiday: red and white. 

I love the look of an off the shoulder dress: sexy and romantic. This white one definitely is a keeper. I cinched this dress in at the waist with a skinny, red belt to give it a more silhouetted shape. Lastly, I paired it with my gladiator gold sandals and gold jewelry.

Lost in the Vineyards

Yesterday I spent the afternoon in Santa Barbara Wine Country. It really is one of my favorite places on Earth. Could there be a town cuter than Los Olivos? I think not. 

For this adventure, I paired one of my favorite tops (this off the shoulder, Free People beauty) with my go-to shorties for a warm, summer day. I topped it all off with my gold jewelry and I was ready to go.

Boho Saturday

Happy Saturday to you all! Today I went with one of my favorite hats, from Spotted Moth. I styled my outfit around this hat pairing it with this beautiful top by Forever 21, my favorite, gold hoop earrings, and my flares from Gap. 

I was pleased with how effortless, bohemian, and soft this look turned out. Then again, how could you go wrong with a pair of flares?

Boyfriend Shirt

On this cold and dreary day, I instantly reached for my husband's flannel button up. I love any oversized, menswear button up ... you just can't go wrong with one in my opinion. I made todays a tad more figure flattering by styling the flannel with half tuck in the front. It gives it such an effortless feel to the outfit. 

I look forward to the holiday weekend and all the great things I have planned. Heres to a stylish and fun holiday weekend. I hope you all enjoy yours! :)

Gloomy Thursday

Every once and a while I'm drawn to something more gritty and rough around the edges. Usually I always steer towards a more whimsy and bohemian or clean and classic look. Today I listened to that edgy craving and went with this little black dress pairing it with motorcycle boots and a skull scarf. 

I keep everything else clean and simple - edgy, cool, and oh so stylish.

Black, Tan, and Denim All Over

Tonight we celebrated my beautiful sister's 23rd birthday. What a fun night with family and friends! I went with something effortless and comfortable for our dinner: denim, tank, booties, and a fedora. An absolutely darling and fun fedora, that is. 

I hope you all are having a great week! Here's to being close to the holiday weekend! :)

Red Moment

Today called for a dose of red. Red lipstick + my red peasant blouse were what I needed to fill my color craving. I paired these with my favorite ripped skinnies and my caged wedges. These wedges are to die for and I absolutely love them. To top it all off, I choose my giant, gold hoop earrings. Hoop earrings are always a "yes" piece for me.

Ripped, Boyfriend Jeans

I love these boyfriend jeans from the Gap. They are not too loose, not too tight, and sit just right on the hips. I paired them with one of my favorite crop tops for a sheer, summery look. To top of the look, I knew I couldn't go wrong with my Converse All Stars. They are such a classic and add such a fun, edgy feel to any outfit. I have them in so many colors and keep adding to my collection.
