CLASSIC LITTLE BLACK DRESS

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the “Man of the Year” with my best friend and her amazing family. This is a formal dinner and dance held by the Salesian Boys’ & Girls’ Club in San Francisco. It is also a fund-raising event for the club— there is a silent auction with many different items to bid on. I’ve gone in the past and have always had a fun time! This year it was held at the ...

CLASSIC ROCKER TEE

I have always had a thing for graphic tees. Lately I’m loving a classic rocker tee paired with some heavy statement jewelry. Rocker tees are such a classic look, but adding some sort of statement piece takes this look to a whole different level. Since it is just a t-shirt, I added a necklace and a blazer with some heels to amp up this look. This statement necklace is from the BAUBLEBAR collection at Target called SUGARFIX. It’s ...

WEEKEND BLUES

Happy Friday! I’m still fixing a few things on the blog, but for the most part got it up and running. Anyways, I just can’t quit this blue suede jacket! A suede jacket is definitely the perfect closet staple that will last you for years. I love this BLANKNYC one because it’s a moto style jacket and gives off that cool girl vibe. It can also be worn many different ways (see this post). For this look, I layered a hoodie ...

NEUTRALS FOR SPRING

It’s currently pouring rain, but I’m all giddy for spring. Even though spring is still a little ways away, you can start transitioning your outfit into a spring look. During the winter, I tend to gravitate towards dark colors such as black, gray and navy. Although I love those colors, I wanted to add lighter neutrals into my style. Neutral colors are the perfect addition to any closet. They go with everything! Lately I have been ...

JOGGER STYLE

This sneaker and jogger trend is amazing! I love it! Joggers are everywhere right now. These ones are a combination of joggers and leggings. Some joggers can be very baggy, but these ones are nice and tight. They have a lot of stretch to them, but do not stretch out — major plus! They come in this charcoal grey and a black. I am wearing a size small to give you an idea on sizing. I do believe they are true to size. The sneaker trend is ...

NEVER FAIL BASICS

shirt (size small), old similar jeans and budget friendly here, shoes (runs large, I ordered a full size down), hat, denim shirt These basics are tried and true. Everyone has basics in their closet that never fail. I tend to wear a lot of black — my wardrobe consists of a lot of neutrals — it is an easy color and looks put together even if you aren’t. Black, white and shades of gray are my jam! The denim shirt not only acts ...

THE BABY SHOWER

dress: Ingrid and Isabel (officially the best maternity dress ever!) We recently had our baby shower for our little boy. It was exactly what I wanted it to be! We did a woodland themed, co-ed baby shower. I wanted it to be simple, with delicious food and lots of mingling with friends and family. There was a little tree with both daddy and mommy’s baby/kid pictures with an ultrasound photo of our baby boy. I painted a tree and asked ...
