SWEATER WEATHER

As I write this, I realize I need to make some pumpkin muffins because little man and I love them! Anyways, back to sweater weather. I ...

PICNIC IDEAS WITH RUNA TEA

Last week, San Francisco had one of the hottest heat waves ever recorded. We are not equipped for scorching weather like that. Most homes here don’t have air conditioning so it’s important to find other ways to cool off. With that heat wave, I thought it would be the best time try these RUNA TEAS. This tea has a beautiful mission. The making of RUNA helps reforest the rainforest. RUNA is made from the guayusa (GWHY-YOU-SA) leaf ...

SCALLOPED KNIT

Knit sweaters are definitely a closet staple. You can easily wear them during cool summer days with denim cut offs and continue to wear them once the temperature starts to drop.  Knit sweaters are great for when you need to layer.

BELL SLEEVES FOR FALL

sweater|| jeans|| mules|| handbag|| earrings One trend I’m loving for fall is the bell sleeve trend! This trend was really big this summer and it’s still going strong into fall. When I first saw this sweater, I was on the fence about it. Don’t get me wrong, I loved this sweater the moment I saw it and the price was great ($39), but wasn’t sure I needed it. After talking to the sales associate, she convinced me. First, ...

PRINT ME UP

tee|| jeans|| wedges|| bag|| earrings It’s no secret that I love a good basic tee, paired with great denim! My collection of both just keeps growing, but can you blame me? They are the best closet staples because they make the perfect foundation for any outfit. Most of my outfits consist of a tee and a pair of jeans. This snake-skin tee was a perfect twist to a basic tee. I don’t usually love snake-skin print— I’m ...
