The woman’s ‘power suit’ has had quite the resurgence over the past couple of seasons. In fact – when I went to New York Fashion Week last September I was surprised at how many bold colored suits I saw the girls wearing. Mostly with retro boots and cool band tees. This spring the power suit’s little sister – the ‘short suit’ – is having a moment of its own.
One of the things I wanted to be more mindful of this year was my spending habits. In the past, I’ve done a not-so-good job at saving and tended to use shopping as a sort of therapy. If I had a stressful day I always found it therapeutic to go shopping – that was always something I could count on to make me feel good. Well, for the time being anyhow. Then when reality hits and you realize you spent x amount of dollars at the mall and don’t have a whole lot left in your bank account it really has an adverse effect. Now, I am not saying I am giving up shopping all together – clearly (LOL). I mean I do have a fashion blog so that would be really kind of hard. However, I found this year I have been EXTREMELY mindful in what I am purchasing. I’m not just purchasing something because it would make a good Instagram photo (YES – I have done this in the past) and I am also not purchasing items I am going to wear once or twice and then be done with. I want to focus more on purchasing items I can wear over and over again. Because to be honest, most of the items I wear on a regular basis are items that I’ve had for a long time and can always count on.
Hi, hi babes & happy Monday! I’ve been having fun adding some spring pieces into my wardrobe like these super cute heels and this fun bomber jacket (similar here too)! If you follow me on Insta you’ve probably seen the shoes more than once lol! I’ve been wearing them so much lately.
Happy Monday babes! I can’t believe how fast these weeks have been flying by. I am working on some really fun projects for the upcoming months and I am super excited to share them with you! For now, I wanted to share this distressed sweater with you guys – you may have seen me post it on my Instagram but it is one of my favorite sweaters right now. Especially here in California, it was 80 degrees yesterday – so this was the perfect layering piece. For you ladies in cooler weather you could pair it with these spanx faux leather leggings, booties, and a cute beanie! I’ve linked the rest of my outfit details for you below – including this cute bucket bag that is on sale right now!
Happy Monday girls! It’s been a little bit rough getting things going today – anyone else feeling like that? I already downed one glass of cold brew and am getting ready to grab a London Fog. For anyone wondering what that is – it’s basically an Earl Gray tea with steamed milk and lavender and vanilla syrups – so good!
I had a lazy moment the other day (who am I kidding – that’s like every day) and decided to turn this coat into it’s own outfit. This is perfect for those days when you don’t really want to think too much because you can literally wear anything underneath and still look put together. For the record – I had a skirt and cami on underneath but you could be wearing pajamas and it wouldn’t matter haha.
Living in San Diego comes with a lot of perks – one of them is the weather. I can’t lie, sometimes I miss the snow and want to bundle up in chic layers but I am soaking up the good weather while I can. This past weekend we had a little bit of some warmer than usual weather which was so nice! I decided to wear this cute gingham dress with some metallic booties and a moto jacket to give it more of a ‘fall’ feel.
I can totally see this dress with some cute sandals, a sun hat, and a straw bag for summer too! The perfect transition piece. And for you girls in areas where you can’t get away with a dress in January – you could always pair it with some thick tights and over the knee boots!
