What makes a simple dress, not so simple? Embellishments. This embellished chambray dress is perfect for summer! It's simple, easy, and lightweight, but the leafy vine bib front detailing is amazing! I also love how it cuts in, in the front and back, it's actually really flattering especially for broader shoulders (like me). Pair this dress with some nude sandals and a great gold cuff and you're all good to go! Because it's been super hot/muggy here in the peninsula lately, I've been putting my hair up in a glam bun a lot more often ... Read more...

I realized recently, that I don't have too many casual tops that are specifically for the weekend. I find myself trying to dress down work appropriate tops by pairing them with casual bottoms like jeans or shorts. One way I dress down a blouse is by layering it underneath my Dolan boatneck sweatshirt. I bought this about a year ago and just love it.

Nautical Stripes
When the heat gets turned up, I tend to not want to get dressed up when going out of the house.
