When you live in San Francisco, you become a weather snob. Although it is a common misconception that it’s always cloudy in the Bay Area, I strongly disagree…90 % of the time it is 65 degrees and gorgeous. With that being said, anything under 65 we’re all bundled up in down jackets and anything over 65 we’re all complaining about the “heat!” So when a San Fran brat travels to Las Vegas, it’s only natural to think: stay cool! Not every outfit for the strip has to be a racy one. If you’re going to bother packing jeans, do yourself a favor and make it a cropped pair. Style them with an airy top. In the ensemble below, I started out with a light weight beige shirt and a pair of denim shorts. As you can see in the photos below, the shirt features a surplice back, and it really did help keep me comfortable temperature-wise. During the evening hours, I swapped out the shorts for some distressed stonewashed cropped jeans. For shoes, I went with my fringe sandals and adorned myself my favorite “Ambi” gray-tone jewels and metallic clutch that you already saw in my last Lilly Pulitzer for […]
If you’ve got a weekend trip coming up, and you need a good outfit to hit the after dinner scene, I’ve got just the right thing for you! There is nothing worse then practically falling over in the airport because you’ve over-packed way too much, pack smart and think two-piece sets, rompers, and jumpsuits. This way, if you’re on a tight schedule, you won’t have to spend time coordinating outfits and you will cut down on the bulk. Meet the “Bright Mind Chartreuse Lace Romper!” This spicy number is great for warm weather destinations and perfect for your after dinner affair. The lace back will keep you cool and the chartreuse color is killer – not to mention easy to match with. While you might be thinking, “I would never wear an open back romper,” hear me out! Easily pair a white, ivory, navy, or even magenta cropped blazer or cape with this piece for a more conservative look. The cropped detail is key because you do not want to cover up the pleats on the shorts. I went with a cape, the “Proper Education White Cropped Jacket” to be exact, that I am absolutely in love with. This […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again! One of the easiest ways to funk up an otherwise bland look is to rock a bold shoe. This works for pants outfits, dresses, and even a romper. If you cannot already tell, I am in love with the “Levita Ankle Strap Dress Sandal” because it accomplishes just that. And because a girl can never have enough shoes…here are a few that I am currently swooning over! The “Lullaby Dressy Floral Sandal” is to die for! If there was a picture next to the word “glamorous” in the dictionary, it would be of these. Perfect for your black monochromatic ensembles, or your favorite colored jeans, all eyes will most certainly be on the shoes when you step out in these things. The adorable flower detail across the toe strap is the icing on the cake. Unless I’m going to workout, I hardly ever wear flat shoes, but with the summer approaching and a beach weekend on the calendar, it’s time for me to get with the program and purchase a darn pair! Well well well, what do you know…Seychelles has done it again! If there is such thing as foot candy […]
Kimonos are one of my favorite articles of clothing, so when I came across this pineapple printed one, in the Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection, I had to have it! Kimonos are great because they double as a swimsuit coverup and a fun accent piece. There are many ways to style a kimono. Wear it open over your ensemble, or belt it closed over your favorite bodycon dress. Pair it with shorts, pants, or a skirt, flats, wedges, or heels. The opportunities are endless. In the ensemble below, I styled Lilly’s satin kimono in “Pineapple Punch,” with a high-waisted skirt and crop top. If it wasn’t for the extra coverage provided by the layering piece, I wouldn’t feel comfortable stepping out in a crop top and painted on bandage skirt. Thanks to the kimono, it is a different story and it’s a win win – wear the outfit without feeling self-conscious. Anyway, I chose a white skirt to stick with the color scheme of the kimono, but chose a bright blue top to jazz things up a bit. To tie things together, I went with a bluish-gray and white statement necklace and matching ring. Finally, I polished off […]
After pulling an all-nighter to get my hands on some pieces from the Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection, it’s only fitting for me to properly showcase some of my favorite items! The Ponte Crop Top in “Boom Boom” is the perfect balance of flirty and fun. The bright green and white print is great for the spring and summer months. Wear this top with a high-waisted white skirt, and strappy white sandals, or go a different route and style this top with some white jeans. I chose a pair of white flare jeans, but it would also work with some straight leg trousers. I further adorned myself with a black and green necklace, a chunky bangle, and my plaid clutch wallet. Finally, I polished off the look with a contrasting bright pink shoe (surprise surprise!). The photos above were taken at the charming Caffe’ Dolci – your home to a delectable assortment of Italian gelato. From rich chocolate and candy flavors, to succulent fruity flavors (my fav is Pink Grapefruit), even the pickiest eaters will find something pleasing to their palate. And if you’re in the mood for something a little bit more substantial, indulge in […]
