It's definitely starting to cool down here on the coast and I've been layering this lightweight cardigan over my tops non-stop. A lightweight cardigan is the perfect transition piece to help take some of your more summery clothes into fall. I shared this shirt and pants combo earlier this summer styled even more casually with some gladiator sandals I've had for a few years. If you compare the two it's easy to see how with a swap/addition of a few items how different the outfit can look. This Rose All Day button down shirt ... Read more...
Casual Labor Day Outfit
Happy Monday! I hope you have been enjoying the holiday weekend. This weekend was my last push to make sure I have everything I need for NYFW. I thankfully took advantage of some Labor Day sales and rush shipping to get some last minute items. I didn't want to bother you all with a weekend post rounding up Labor Day sales this year. Maybe it's just me overthinking things, but I never want to come off as too salesy! So many times I feel pressured as a blogger to push sales that are going on. When I do, I honestly do it for your benefit ... Read more...
Label for Less: NYFW Party Outfit Inspiration
I can hardly believe that a week from today I will be in New York! I'm excited but also a little nervous. As of now I am still waiting for more RSVP's to roll in. I know it's like this every year but I think I grow more and more impatient each season hoping I'll know my show schedule more in advanced. I even had moment of panic where I considered cancelling my trip to New York and possibly going somewhere tropical instead (since I already have my coverage for Mason worked out). Everyone really liked the last Label for Less post I ... Read more...
Fall Transition Outfit: Fall Ruffle Floral Romper
I can't believe how quickly the temps have dropped lately. It seems like fall is rapidly approaching us here in Santa Cruz. I purchased this ruffle floral romper a few weeks back knowing that summer was coming to an end soon. The floral print and color combo screams fall but rompers are typically a summer item. So, I figured I'd share how I'd style this piece to transition into fall. I'm all about these rust suede booties I got during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. They're fully back in stock and a total staple for fall. This ... Read more...
Label for Less: NYFW Outfit Inspiration
Since I'm trying to figure out my NYFW outfits I decided what better way to share (and get your opinion on) some of the pieces I'm thinking of getting than with a look for less post. I don't know why this year I'm having such a hard time deciding on my looks. Maybe it's because I've got more outfits to plan for than last year or because I'm trying to stick with a tighter budget. Or maybe, it's because now that I'm another year into motherhood I'm starting to re-evaluate the statement pieces I would normally purchase. I'm trying to ... Read more...
