This day last week I had the pleasure of witnessing one of my best friends and honorary big sister marry her perfect match and love of her life. In an oh so Carrie Bradshaw way she opted for an afternoon wedding ceremony at City Hall in San Francisco on their fourth floor rotunda and held the reception at the Fairmont Hotel. The setting couldn't have been more perfect. Jess wore head-to-toe Valentino, she was stunning! I opted to wear a turquoise and dark navy (almost black) striped dress by Kenneth Cole New York and my ... Read more...
Stars and Stripes
I took my patriotic look to the next level, from day to night, by adding some bold stars and stripes. This scarf was given to me by my husband a while ago and I thought, "when the heck am I going to wear this?" There's very few times such a bold scarf can be worn, and the 4th of July weekend is such a time. So when Friday afternoon turned to early evening I had to bundle up. I've added my stars and stripes scarf over my Rory Beca striped top I had on during the day, swapped my shorts for some skinny jeans and added my textured denim ... Read more...
Red, White, and Blue
I don't know about you but I'm ready to kick off the 4th of July festivities with family and friends! Thankfully I have tons of clothes that are red, white, and blue so it's easy to wear the combination to celebrate our beautiful country!

Since I can't wear shorts during the week I opted for a casual look pairing my boyfriend denim shorts with a sheer red and white striped sleeveless blouse from Rory ... Read more...
Peach Lace
Peach is my favorite fruit and color this season. I have been gravitating towards peach colored pieces for the last few months it seems, so when I found this ASTR peach lace illusion hemline skirt, I couldn't resist! I love a good illusion hemline skirt. It's a great work skirt alternative to the more typical pencil, a-line, or midi skirt. This peach lace ASTR skirt combines three of my favorite styles right now, the illusion hemline with a midi pencil skirt. The delicate and feminine details of the skirt make it appropriate for work, ... Read more...
Colorblocking with Ostwald Helgason
When I first saw this Ostwald Helgason skirt on Shopbop I couldn't stop thinking about it. I absolutely love the colorblocking in this skirt and how the diagonal seams bring a modern edge to this fit-and-flare skirt. So when I finally broke down and bought it, as you could imagine, I couldn't wait to wear it. The best part about colorblocking is that with more than one color in the skirt you are likely to find many items that work with it. The rust/orange/peach color family seems to be my go-to color of the season. It seems to be in a ... Read more...
