The summer is a popular time of year for travel. Whether you’re jet setting to paradise, or riding in the passenger seat on a road trip, packing smart will save you time and frustration. A pleated skirt, like the featured item, is wrinkle-proof and extremely comfortable! Get off the plane or hop out of the car looking like a million bucks. Who doesn’t want that?! Aside from the comfort level and aesthetic appeal, when in the right color, a pleated maxi can be dressed down or up – another reason to add one to your suitcase.

I was immediately attracted to this pleated skirt because it reminded me of a multicolored scarf. To bring out the purple hues, I styled this beauty with an eggplant cropped halter. I found this one at Express and was pleasantly surprised by the $9.90 price tag. To bring out more colors in the pattern, I rocked a grayish-taupe necklace and matching sandals. Although it was not pictured, I threw a jean jacket over my shoulders for added warmth. As you can see the wind was picking up and there is nothing worse than bare shoulders when the wind whips off of the bay. If you’re attending the Union Street Festival this weekend, don’t be surprised if you see me in this outfit!

As you are aware, I have a minor obsession with capes. They are the perfect finishing touch to nearly any ensemble – dressy or causal. Naturally, when I laid eyes on this black cape dress, it was love at first sight! There is no such thing as too many little black dresses, but before you add another to your collection, ask yourself why this one is different from the rest. This LBD is unique because it features long sleeves and a cape. Long sleeves are a plus for San Francisco fall weather and the cape adds a nice flair. Taking advantage of every opportunity I have to rock open-toe shoes before I retire them for the year, I styled this number with taupe fringe sandals and a matching purse. I polished off the look with glitzy statement earrings and a red lip.

Finally pulling the trigger, after eying this little number for several weeks, I am happy to report it was well worth the $40 price tag (thanks for that lulu*s!). The loose fit is great for warm weather, while the drop waist and ruffle hem add just enough oomph! If chartreuse isn’t on your hot list, be the Frill of the Chase in coral instead. Although you could accomplish some strong boho vibes with flat shoes and a funky purse, I broke out my favorite Fringly sandals, and gold headpiece for a boho chic look. How’d I do?!

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 Target post. If it’s not broken don’t fix it…same goes for your favorite accessories!

A special shoutout to The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas for providing me with a gorgeous background for some blog pics!

You might remember the blue two-piece crochet dress from Current Clothing featured on KK and GG a couple of weeks back…let me introduce you to my most current find, a lace fringe crop top and matching bottoms. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, matching coordinates are great pieces to invest in because you get more than one look out of them – wear them together one day, wear them apart the next. In the ensemble below, I decided to wear the shirt and shorts together and get my fringe on! I accessorized with a slate gray stone necklace and a pewter clutch purse, although I must give proper credit to my taupe “Fringly” sandals. They definitely made the outfit complete! I am already looking forward to another occasion to rock this top with a pair of stone wash wide leg jeans, some chunky bangles and a floppy hat.

If you’re currently obsessed with this lace fringe top and bottom set, don’t hesitate, just call Current Clothing (415) 400-5517, and they will ship the items to you. Don’t forget to let them know that KK and GG sent you. Now hop to it!

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 cardigan and a hemp belt. Belts can add flare to any outfit in a matter of seconds. I polished off the look with fringe booties, a cognac crossbody bag and ivory and gold jewelry. For a flirtier evening look, I lost the sweater and belt, replaced the crossbody bag with a more elegant clutch purse, and threw on a pair of strappy fringe sandals – currently my favorite shoes of the season.

If you are in the market for a statement shoe, than this fringy footwear is for you! Great for embellishing an uninspired outfit, or suitable for your favorite little black dress, it will be an all eyes on the shoes affair when you step out in these heels. Choose from black or blue, or go for the “safe” color, taupe (as pictured below). A big thanks to Mr. Madden for designing these “Fringly” things.
