The White Textured Shirt

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of attending a pop-up shop for the launch of Nichole Ciotti‘s fabulous collection for the London brand, Kingdom & State. Hosted by Liv Fashion Boutique, attendees had the opportunity to shop the new styles as well as mingle with Nichole herself, Tan the brand’s head designer, and other Bay Area bloggers. I feel very fortunate that such events take place routinely in San Francisco, and even more fortunate have discovered this lovely line!   No way was I leaving without a couple of new pieces, one of which was this amazing white top. You can never have enough white tops. But just like I alluded to last Friday, if you’re going to add another “basic” to your wardrobe, you might as well add one with a twist. This charming Textured Pleat Top is full of ’em! Appear effortlessly chic thanks to the structured fit, and high neck line. For the big debut, I hit the San Fran streets in stonewash distressed denim and added a pop of color with bright pink pumps and lips. I further accessorized with a black and white plaid clutch wallet, and a dramatic pair of bedazzled earrings, and for […]

Casual Friday

Happy Casual Friday, readers! Well in the KK and GG handbook, this is as casual as it gets…but who doesn’t love a good jeans outfit?! There is nothing as comfortable and easy to wear.   While there is nothing wrong with pairing a solid tank with your go-to jeans, in my eyes, fancy is always better. So rather then stocking up on traditional basics, I go for the jazzed up versions. A white tee with ruffles on the sleeves, or a black tank with a surplice back. I think you catch my drift. So when I came across the burnt orange tank photographed below, it made the cut. The asymmetrical hemline adds just enough oomph and the keyhole back is a fun bonus. To dress up the shirt a tad, I styled it with white distressed skinny jeans and my nude wedge sandals. Since an outfit is never complete without a statement piece, I polished off the look with a glitzy pearl necklace, chunky brown bangles, and a leopard print clutch. Incorporating a bold animal print accessory may just be the easiest way to spice up an ensemble.       Shop this Post: Top | Jeans (similar) | Shoes | […]

Give your Glam Room an Upgrade

In lieu of a typical “Wish List Wednesday” post yesterday, I styled my new favorite two-piece set – I was too excited that I couldn’t wait any longer to share it. If you haven’t already checked it out, head on over to Breezy in Paisley to get the details on this $40 look! Regardless of the day of the week, here is what’s on my wish list!     If you enjoy primping your hair straight, curly, or wavy, then meet your new sidekick: the Curl Jam by NuMe! Say goodbye to tangled cords and unnecessary bulk. This revolutionary gadget features three removable barrels of varying sizes. If you want tight curls on Friday, throw on the smallest (19 mm) barrel. If you want big voluminous curls on Saturday, swap it out for the largest (32 mm). And if you decide you’d rather go straight, also included in this set is a pure ceramic flat iron. Effortlessly pass this sucker through your hair resulting in silky and smooth luscious locks, or fun and flirty mermaid waves.   In addition to the convenient interchangeable design, both the wand and flat iron are crafted out of slip-free handles, and feature swivel cords.

Breezy in Paisley

Whether you’re riding in style on a long road trip, hitting up Starbucks for a latte, or prepping for a weekend of house guests, you can never go wrong rocking a comfortable pair of printed pants. Effortlessly chic yet the relaxed fit won’t restrict you from completing your chores. Even if it’s not the pair below, do yourself a favor and add some to your warm weather wardrobe!     If you cannot already tell, I am a big fan of matching coordinates. Throw in some colorful culottes, and I’m sold. This set speaks for itself and is less than $40 from Forever 21! The fashionable crop top is well-tailored and oh so feminine. The culottes are lightweight and printed in the prettiest paisley. When you’re not in the mood to match, style these pieces as separates with your go-to white bottoms or tank. In the ensemble below, I accessorized in navy and ivory jewelry and nude wedges. I toted around a jean jacket, and felt hat just in case the fog rolled in over the bay. Next time, I’ll switch out the wedges and jean jacket for black sandals and a blazer, and head out for Happy Hour!   […]
