Whether you’ve got a Passover Seder or an Easter dinner to attend this weekend, break out some printed pants and add a little energy to the supper table. While out for a stroll in the marina a couple of nights ago, a pair of bright floral Gretchen Scott trousers caught my eye. Leave it to Toss to carry such a great item! I immediately fell in love with the neon colors and design and got super excited when I noticed the ankle slit. It can be a bit of a challenge to find a well-fitting pair of trousers when you are blessed with short legs – especially when they are primarily white. That is why the ankle slit on these is such a plus. It helps elongate the legs. So when you do come across a pair that you feel good in, do yourself a favor and just buy them! You won’t regret it. In the ensemble below, I styled these hot pants with a sleeveless button down blouse in pale pink. Although pale pink is not present in the pants, I knew it would work because of the contrasting bright pink piping. Always prepared for the San Francisco weather to […]

Whether you like it or not, checks and stripes are becoming the new hip thing. These “conservative” prints are popping up in a variety of shapes and forms at all of your go-to shops and boutiques. From two-piece separates, to outerwear and swimwear, they are everywhere. If you are not sold on these classic patterns, rather than avoiding this trend entirely, mix ’em into your weekday attire with the garments that you feel your best in. When I came across a pair of high-waisted navy and off-white checked trousers, my imagination began to run wild with outfit ideas. Wear them with a boxy crop top, a body-suit and blazer, an evening shirt, or v-neck and completely transform the look from the previous wear. Going for an ultra chic approach this time around, I decided to rock these pants with a glamorous evening shirt. Although previously styled on KK and GG, I knew this peplum top would go so well I could not resist wearing it again. To change it up a tad, I further synched in the waist with a pearl belt and hung a pearl necklace around my neck. Finally, to polish off the ensemble, I went […]
Rompers made a come back about half a decade ago and have remained on the “hot list” ever since. They are a great alternative to a dress – you don’t have to think about coordinating separates. While I am definitely apart of the romper fan club, I am particularly critical when it comes to the style and fit. If the cut isn’t just right, you could end up looking like a toddler in a potato sack. To avoid the potato sack look, choose a romper that will accentuate your best features. If you have long legs, go for one with short shorts. If you have a an attractive waist, choose a fitted romper that will showcase your hourglass figure. I think you get the idea… When I spotted this blue floral romper at Liv Fashion Boutique, I was immediately drawn to it because of its potentially figure-flatting characteristics. The drawstrin was perfect for singeing in the waist, and the plunging neckline was ultra feminine. Being a fashionista who believes strongly in versatility, naturally I styled this romper two ways. One for day and one for night. For daytime wear, I paired this piece with with a knit […]
