Chambray Wrap Top

top (seen here) // jeans // sweater // shoes // sunglasses // purse // lipstick

You know those days where you really put a little more effort into getting ready? Well, this is it. This is me stepping it up. I know, you're probably laughing. But any day that I actually curl my hair, I consider it me being so extra. Truthfully, I was meeting Jessica for coffee and some pictures. So in away I was getting all fancy for you ;) Every now and then we like to meet up for a good latte, chat about blog life and take some pictures. We ended up at a new spot that had a tasty matcha and the best brownie (yes, that was my breakfast). Anyway, this top seemed to be the perfect occasion for the day. I love how it's a little more interesting than your regular chambray shirt. It might have also been my justification for finally picking it up, but do I really need a reason? My philosophy is you can never have too many chambray shirts. Anyone else feel that way?

Last year's look here is one that incorporates another style that I can never have too many of--stripes. I just realized I wearing the same jeans from this post, too. Staple pieces, I tell ya. 

Thank you for linking up with us! Our picks are Ruth from My Little Nest and Cheryl from Cheryl Shops! Make sure to go give them some love, too!

Denim Tuxedo

top // jeans // sandals (similar) // purse // hat (similar - i got the black) // aviators // bracelets c/o pura vida

Denim is one of those essentials that you can never have enough. Finding more and more unique denim pieces is definitely my jam right now. When I spotted these cropped ripped jeans, it gave me the feels. But told myself to wait till they went on sale. You bet the sale gods were listening and made it happen! Not going to lie, they are much higher waisted than I normally wear. I'm thinking I would have picked up these one's instead which are an inch lower (short torso problems). But the higher the waist the better, right?! And these are not the pants to wear when you want to eat a lot-lol!

Is anyone already shopping for the holidays? Crazy how we are technically in the holiday season. I' mean 'hello Starbucks red cups' are here. Well, except at my Starbucks for some reason. This year I've been looking for brands that give back for gifts. These friendship bracelets (wearing this and this) are so cute and come in tons of colors and Pura Vida gives back to local Costa Rican artisans with every purchase. Wouldn't they be a nice stocking stuffers? Hopefully, my girlfriends aren't reading this;)

Thank you for linking up! This week our picks are Yana from A Handful of Stories and from Konstantina from K Meets Style!

Denim Girl + Linkup

Denim. What can I say? Only that you are my BFF these days. Oh and you too off-the-shoulder! Can't forget you! I got this top (actually it's a dress that feels too short) several weeks back and it's been gloomy whenever I want to wear it. But it wasn't this past weekend. Thank you weather gods for making this outfit possible! And you guys I just can't stop wanting more denim pieces in my closet. I'm on the cusp of ordering this dress now that it's on sale. Yay or nay ladies?

Now let's flashback to last year's look here. Annnd funny enough I'm wearing the same jeans. I'm surprised by how well Old Navy jeans have lasted! But this top is one that's perfect for Summer and is from Ruche, which if you haven't heard has just reopened! It started by a woman just following her dream and glad to see she was able to reopen it!

Thanks for linking up with Jessica and I! Remember to linkup because it's better with you and we are featuring our two favorites each week! Yesss, you can be featured! We loved Kim from The Knotted Chain and Candace from The Beauty Beau!

Double Denim + Linkup

sweater // chambray shirt // jeans // loafers // aviators

I think I might say this evvvery Friday, but it's F R I D A Y! It's been rough transitioning into this new job, well the balancing part. And everytime I think I've got it down turns out I don't. #ProjectLife Oh, and daylight's saving has still got me off. Is that just me? But I was able to squeeze in a haircut and color. Annnd I'm trying to prep for my Costa Rica trip coming in less than 2 weeks. It just hit me as I typed that sentence. 2 weeks! And when I say prepping I mean picking up my passport tomorrow from the Passport Agency because I barely renewed it. FYI your passport actually expires 6 months before the date it shows on your passport. Go read that sentence again and then go check your passport. You don't want to be the lady I met who should have been in Paris instead of trying to renew her passport and board her plane the same day. 

Let's flashback to last year's look here. Actually, you might remember it from last week's. Opps! I used the wrong one, soo...yeah I'm a little off. 

  Thanks for linking up! We hope you'll join in this week!

The Essentials

Garnett Hill shirt // white jeans // striped sandals // aviators // tote

Just give me all the basics! It's essentially all I've been living in. And this blue and white combo has me ready for Spring! Plus, you can never go wrong with a good chambray shirt. This one is from Garnett Hill and has a nice medium wash that I can wear to work or on the weekend. But was perfect for a blogger date with Jessica. 

Now, I might not be a Sole Society employee anymore, but I have to talk about these block sandals because t h e r e B A C K! Let's just say I know how things go inventory wise and they sold out really fast last year and this is the first full restock of them since last year. So consider this your warning to grab them while you can. I'm thinking I need the flat sandal version for my upcoming trip to Costa Rica....maybe.

Happy Tuesday!

Chambray for Work

 Oh chambray you are just so good to wear just about any day of the week! It's even perfect for you gals who need to keep it professional for work. For my latest feature for CgC, I styled it three ways for you professional ladies. See all three chambray looks here.

Hope you had a great weekend!

Easy Neutrals

Another gloomy day, another chance to enjoy some Fall favorites, but a day that I will always hold special in my heart. A year ago was the day my favorite guy packed his bags and moved back home. It was a day I hoped and dreamed of for 3 very long years. It meant plane rides would be replaced by quick car drives. It meant long teary good byes would now become see you tomorrow. It meant desert excursions would now become picnics on the beach. This year of togetherness has gone by in a blink of an eye and has my heart smiling so big.

Now on a fashion note, my moto jacket is my go-to for chilly days and keeping it simple with other neutrals will always work. Adding in a pop of color with an accessory is an easy way to take it to the next level and gives your look a nice surprise. 

Happy Tuesday! xo

Summer Vibes

Alright ladies, LA is totally being punished for having such great weather during all those winter vortex months. Major heat wave happening (100+ degrees!) and where's a girl to go to beat the heat? She goes shopping! Well I blame it on my mom. She decided to go shopping without me and then has a fashion emergency. So of course I'm not going to leave her hanging-her personal stylist to the rescue! The fun part about helping her is that I can actually pick out things for myself too. Hellooo, perfectly oversized chambray!

Thanks so much for reading! xo
