DIY DISTRESSED DENIM

It’s true, I have an unhealthy obsession with holes in my jeans. Most of my denim collection consists of distressed jeans. I do have some with no distressing. At my job we can’t wear jeans only, on days where the elementary school kids do (free dress days are the best days). When I can wear jeans at work, I wear jeans with no holes because I still want to look professional (a previous school I worked at allowed jeans, but none ...

I especially love them for this unpredictable S.F. weather. You just never know ...

SUNSET LOVIN’

Sunsets during spring and summer are one my favorite things. I love when the sun sets later and our days are longer. There is nothing more relaxing than going for a walk while the sun sets. Plus that glow from the sunset is pretty dreamy! After a day hanging out by the pool, I slipped into this comfy maxi dress and went sans makeup for the rest of the evening.

Ruffle details are such a big trend this year. It makes even the simplest thing girlie. This ruffle tee is by hinge at Nordstrom. I highly recommend this brand.
