CURRENT BASICS I’M LOVING

jacket (old) similar here| tee| jeans| mules| bag| sunnies Everyone has their go-to basics they tend to grab when they don’t know what to wear. It’s basically your uniform, that never fails. Mine always involves some sort of graphic tee, usually a band tee. I have so many of them, but they are such good basics to build a casual outfit from. When I don’t know what to wear, I tend to fall back on outfits similar to this one. ...

WEEKEND JOGGERS

joggers| tee| jacket| sneakers| bag| sunglasses Nothing better than walking around the neighborhood to grab some fresh squeezed orange juice! I love having easy weekend mornings where nothing is really planned. Walking around different San Francisco neighborhoods is one of my favorite things to do. You can always find little hidden gems. We made a stop at Black Jet Baking Co. Everything is baked fresh daily. I’m obsessed with the plain ...

CLASSIC OVERSIZED BLAZER

blazer|tee|jeans|booties|bag An oversized blazer is such a classic piece to have in your wardrobe. It goes well with so many different pieces. I wore this for my birthday dinner. Didn’t want anything super fancy, but still wanted to look chic. When I plan an outfit, it usually involves a tee and jeans. I build my outfit from there by adding pieces that are more interesting. For example, these buckle booties add some edge to this ...

BLACK AND GREY

shirt| jacket| scarf| jeans| mules I’m back! After taking a very long break from blogging, I feel so refreshed and more motivated to blog again. I still struggle with shooting outfits because sometimes I’d rather enjoy my time and not deal with taking photos or stress about that. I’m working on being more present with the now. So with that said, I’m going to really try to be on top of outfit posts! My mom and I ...

CHOOSING AND STYLING A ROCKER TEE

tee| jeans| booties| bag| sunnies Since I love wearing rocker tees and have made them a key component to my style, I thought I would explain my process to choosing and styling one. Let’s begin with how I pick a rocker tee. First thing I look for is a band I’m familiar with. I choose bands based on ones I actually listen to.  I want to make sure I can name songs they sing and not mindlessly choose a rocker tee just because ...

THE GRATEFUL DEAD

tee| jeans| booties| clutch| hoops There is nothing more I love styling than a rocker tee. I have tons of them and wear them all as often as I can. It’s my go to item in my closet when I don’t know what to wear. My favorite thing about any sort of graphic tee, is how versatile they are. Not only do they look great with a pair of joggers, but they can be dressed up with some heels and statement jewelry. And did I mention how comfy ...

THE BAND JACKET

jacket| bodysuit| jeans| shoes| bag This pretty little jacket is currently on sale! It’s a show stopper and a compliment magnet. I’ve seen similar band jackets come out every year around the fall. I’ve always wanted one and completely admire how dramatic they are. This year I finally got one and I’m obsessed with it. This one is by Free People and you all know how I love Free People. Their attention to details is ...

PINK FOR FALL

sweater| tee| jeans| shoes| similar bag Love this shade of pink for fall! It’s a pretty muted rose, but goes with so many colors. I scooped up this Madewell cardigan during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, but it’s back on sale! Extremely soft and cozy, perfect for fall. I also linked some similar Madewell cardigans below. Madewell is quickly becoming a favorite brand of mine. I love their jeans, sweaters, and handbags. My mules ...

FAVORITE TUNIC

tunic| jeans| booties| sunglasses| bag (old) similar here and here A few years ago I probably would have said no to tunics. I always thought they were too flowy and had way too much material. I’ll admit I was wrong! Can you ever have a top that’s too flowy?! I don’t think so! Tunics are great because they looks amazing with jeans, look wonderful with some denim cutoffs and are the perfect length to wear with leggings. I ...

PRETTY IN PINK CAMO

camo tee| shorts| sandals| sunglasses I found this Free People pink camo tee while I was in Hawaii. It’s soft and the colors are very muted… I prefer certain prints to be toned down. This tee is so cute! It’s $38 and runs TTS, I’m wearing a size small. It comes in a green camo print and a black/grey camo print too. I wore this look while visiting Disneyland. It was very hot when we were down there so shorts were a ...
