Today marks the first full week of FALL! I'm closing it out in a gorgeous animal print that is currently in abundance just about everywhere ❤ How do you feel about leopard print? I'm so HERE for it! Try it out in colors outside of its traditional neutral palette - say red or pink! See an example HERE. 

This two-piece set was styled for a night out, but I also envision it wearable to the office with black tights and a black silk blouse 😉 Actually, I can also see it styled with a white top and red boots... Needless to say, I look forward to exploring its style potential fully!
Until next time Babes,

Are you loving the blazer dress craze as much as I am?!!!

If you aren't familair with the trend, check out these cute options HERE, HERE, and HERE 😍

I'm all about wardrobe versatility, so I decided to wear a blazer from my current stash as a dress!!!

I styled it with a pair of shorts for additional length - otherwise, my valuables would have been on display 😁 There are soooo many options Babes to incorporate current trends into your style, using what you already have! Like, you can easily swap up out shorts, say for a mini dress. 

All in all, I LOVE how this LOOK came together!

Why buy something new if you can utilize what you already have?!

Until next time,

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL BABES!!!
Full disclosure: Fall hasn't quite made it's way to LA just yet :) Yesterday it was actually 90 degrees - I spent my day laying out at the beach...However, with the official start of fall here, I know its simply a matter of time before cooler daytime temps set in. I have to make sure that I'm prepared, right?! LOL! Absolutely LOVE this sweater dress which also doubles up as a cardigan. The color, the fit, the buttons, and the sleeves! Did you see the sleeves? SO GOOD! This beauty definitely makes the edit for what I'll be reaching for this fall and winter :) What are your go-to pieces for cooler temps?
Until next time,

Bold Pursuits

Dress: On SALE HERE

Sequins items are often reserved for so-called "special" occasions. However, this summer, sequins options were vast in abundance for daytime wear. Fortunately for us, this trend appears to be rolling right on into fall. Sequins toppers, capes, skirts, dresses - even full on suits made standout appearances during NYFW 😍
I scored this beauty at the beginging of summer, but it was a few months before I actually wore it. Imagine my surprise and admitted dismay when I saw that it is now marked down almost 75% of the original price that I paid 😖
Nontheless, I love its vibrant coral hue and frill detail skirt. I can see this styled with a blazer and knee high boots as the temperatures recede. 
Over to you Babes, how do you feel about rocking sequins pieces on "regular" occasions?
Until next time,

Picnic Ready

One activity that I have not enjoyed this summer: A picnic! Because I tend to overdress wherever I go (is that really possible?😜) this look struck me as perfection for an afternoon picnic. RED is my favorite color of all time. I have no discomfort whatsoever in rocking it from head to toe in a monochromatic fashion💓 
I styled this two-piece set as a dress because the length of the skirt was longer than what I imagined and the top was too short for my taste. If there's one thing that rings true when it comes to personal style- DO YOU!
Until next time Babes,

A Standout Piece

Every now and then I snag an item that goes effortlessly with practically everything, and has a high FEEL GOOD factor. The duster in today's post is one such item😍 I purchased it online at an end of summer sale, and to be 100% honest - I wasn't ready!💖💖💖 When I opened up the package and tried it on for the very first time - I smiled from ear to ear!😁 
Not only are the colors  wonderfully vibrant, it boasts a beautiful leopard print. I love, love, love the length and overall ease and flow of it. Needless to say, this duster will be on repeat for some time to come...
Do share, what standout pieces do you own?
Until next time Babes,

Dress Relief

If you went through my closet today and polled all of my dresses, you'd see that I own more Eliza J. dresses than any other brand. I started shopping the designer 8-10 years ago via my retail fav, Nordstrom. Whenever I am in a bind for an upcoming event/venue, or simply in the mood for a bit of retail therapy - I pop into the retail giant because they never disappoint. I always land something that meets and or exceeds my expectations. Time and time again, I exit checkout with a beautiful Eliza J. design. My choices as of late have been partial to gorgeous floral prints, specifically designs boasting vibrant hues. 
Over to you Babes, what is your favorite designer for dresses?
Until next time,

This weekend marks the unofficial end of SUMMER 2019! I'm stepping into a September and FALL 2019 in Leopard Print ❤
Why?

• For starters, it is a timeless classic!
• It is wonderfully neutral and bold all at the same time.
• It pairs lovely with red, my favorite color 💓

I snagged this short romper at an end of summer sale. I'm wearing it in a size 12, the fit is true to size. I do wish that the sleeves were a closer cut & that it had functional pockets - but we can't have everything can we?! LOL!
Until next time,
