Today's style story features my take on a camo shirtdress styled for transitional wear - from summer to fall. September usually signals the alarm for fall fashion, but sometimes temperatures don't quite match up 😀. I opted to style this shirtdress off the shoulders, although it was designed to be worn on the shoulders. Additionally, I styled it with both leopard print sandals and black knee-high boots. How you choose to style pieces in your wardrobe all depends on your personal preferences and needs! If it is warm out, I want this dress to be off my shoulders and paired with sandals. If it is a cooler evening but still sunny, I still want my shoulders out, however, I might add in a knee-high boot - plus a floor-length scarf 😉
Over to you! How would you style this camo dress? The possibilities truly are limitless!
Until next time,

Happy SEPTEMBER!!! It is undisputed that this has been a year for the record books in almost every single way imaginable. However, amongst everything that has/is transpiring - time still feels like it is moving rapidly. We have now entered the final four months of 2020!!! I find myself wondering - where does the time go?! Beyond that, I find myself in a space of personal reflection. This is my birth month, just as I have in years prior, I am reexamining my footing in the world.
Questions that I am actively asking myself include: Am I living my purpose? What am I learning from my life experiences? What would I like to accomplish moving forward? Am I living with intention? What are some areas that I would like to improve in?
There are more questions than there are answers! Nonetheless, one thing is for certain: I am thankful to see another day!
Until next time,

With the cooler months of fall just over the horizon, we start to think about what we'd like transitional wear to look like. Layering is a classic staple for fall weather, even here in SoCal. Fall days are often sunny and mild, but the evenings can be starkly cool in comparison.
I opted to turn a pair of cutoff summer shorts into optimal transitional wear by layering them on top of a full-body catsuit. I LOVE how this look came together! It would be ideal for date night, or a girl's night out. For even cooler temperatures, I would add additional layers in the form of a cropped jacket, perhaps a cute scarf, plus statement booties 😉
Over to you, how do you like to style transitional clothing?

As we wind down the month of August, I found myself in the realization that fall weather/fashion is just over the horizon. While out & about the other day, it seemed like the sunset was super early (before 8p) - then I realized that the days are indeed getting shorter 😵Yes my friends, the signs of fall are making an appearance right now.
When it comes to fall fashion, I love the idea and practicability of blazer dresses. The one pictured in today's blog post boasts a bold color, tailored cut, double front functional button placket closure, front welt flap pockets, and a full lining.
Over to you, how do you feel about blazer dresses?

RED is my favorite color of all time. The sight of it always serves as an instant mood booster. It is a reminder to appreciate the little things deeply, even something as simple as saturated color. Reminders like this feel more helpful now than ever.
As I look out at the uncertainty of the world scene, I feel compelled to do what I personally can to effect positive, lasting change. I feel encouraged to lean into hope, to repeatedly set an intention to lead with love.
Until next time,

Today's post features another goodie from my closet, a pink sweater that I found with the price tags still intact 😲 I think I purchased it 3-4 years ago, but it could be older. It's such a classic piece - I had no doubt that it would earn its place in my wardrobe over time. I love the saturated pink hue and the indescribably soft material that it is made of. This cashmere, but not quite...
For its grand debut, I decided to take it for a spin in monochrome, pairing it with complementary shades of pink 💕
The skirt and shoes are actually newer acquisitions, however unfortunately they are sold out. I look forward to styling each of these pieces again!
Until next time,

Hey Babes,
I'm back with the 2nd way (see 1st way HERE) that I styled my newest pair of gingham shorts (see another pair styled HERE)! For this look, I opted to take a roll in blue by way of statement bauble earrings, a striped OTS (off the shoulder) top, plus blue satin/strappy heels.
Which look is your favorite - Take 1 or Take 2?
Until next time,

Hey Babes,
Today's post features my all time favorite color duo: black & white 😍 Looking at the pictures from this shoot inspired me to get the ball rolling on planning my next international trip. Doesn't it look like I'm somewhere in Europe?! This vibe was just what I needed to begin looking at where I'd like to go next, and more importantly, when.
Until next time,

Happy 1st day of SPRING Babes!!!! Bright colors are made for sunny days, I took this orange beauty out for a spin last week, paired with cobalt blue and white. This dress is such a delightfully bright hue, it's made from lightweight cotton. When you put it on, it adds an instant 'happiness factor'. I have no doubt that I will carry it right on over to summer w/o incident 😍
Until next time,

This is my favorite time of the year Babes!!! Why? Party-wear inspired pieces ABSOLUTELY SATURATE the fashion scene, there is so much to choose from 😍😍😍 In fact, as I shared with you last year, this is the best time of year to stock up on frilly, feminine, over the top fashions! Think ahead, what summer events you plan to attend, what would you like to wear on vacation, and so on! Typically when those moments arise, you cannot find exactly what you're looking for: NOW IS THE TIME!
I kept a close eye on Atlantic Pacific's collaboration launch with Nordstrom. As soon as the items hit the site, I went in to claim this fabulously feminine tiered tulle skirt. It is a DREAM Babes! I can't wait to rock it this season, and every season for that matter! In my mind, I picture myself wearing it next summer with a cute white bralette top or halter...I can even picture it paired with RED...Come through SUMMER 2019 - I'm ready for you!!!
Until next time,
Xx
