FOURTH OF JULY STYLE INSPIRATION

06.21.2017

I cant believe we are only 2 weeks away from the 4th of July! Its one of my favorite holidays. Who doesn’t like to be patriotic, BBQ and end the day with fireworks?! We love spending the 4th in Sonoma with family and friends. We usually start the day with a cute community parade, BBQ in the park and watch fireworks from our backyard. This year probably wont be any different, as its a special tradition that I’d hate to break.

OUTFIT DETAILS: TOP (SIMILAR HERE, HERE) / JEANS / BANDANA / DENIM JACKET / CLUTCH / BRACELET

Today I’m sharing a fun patriotic look that I put together with the basics: the best fitting jeans and a cute off the shoulder cropped tee. These jeans are my favorite pair that I own! They are the perfect cropped flair, and fit in all of the right places. I love how they are high waisted with the button detail up the front. They just fit so darn well and I wear them constantly! If you are looking for a cropped flair, look no further.

This red top is such a cute fit, I couldnt resist. It’s also pretty casual, perfect for a day in the park. I added a little bandana flair, which you can wear so many different ways. I think its so cute to tie around my neck, around my wrist, or even around my waist or bag straps. Such a fun accessory!

This look is more so on the dressy side with these heels if you have an event or party to attend, but since I will be running about town I will most likely swap with chucks or sandals.

And a few more red white and blue pieces perfect for the 4th of July weekend:

What are your 4th of July plans?? xo

SUMMER ESSENTIAL: MAXI DRESS

06.11.2017

Hope you all had a great weekend! We are heading down to Palm Springs in a few weeks so I’ve been on the hunt for some fun summer finds, maxi dresses, swimsuits you name it. We dont have much of a summer here in San Francisco which is why I stock up for vacation. We have had a few nice weekends, so that’s when I take advantage and break out all my maxis and wide brim hats. Today I’m sharing this cute maxi from a brand that I’m newly obsessed with, Flynn Skye.

OUTFIT DETAILS: DRESS // HAT // SHOES

You can never go wrong with a maxi dress! I LOVE the fun sleeves on this little number! I also prefer when a maxi has a slit, making it much easier to get around and give a little breathing room. This dress also comes in a few different colors below.

I have always been a big fan of wide brim hats. I love the brand Janessa Leone, but I’ve found this much more affordable brand recently which I am pretty excited about! I picked up this and this hat for $44 which I wear often! I love the style and fit of both and break them out whenever I can!

Flynn Skye is the cutest bohemian brand from Venice, CA (near LA) and this brand definitely represents the style and vibe of Venice. I’m usually not a pattern type of girl, but some of their prints definitely changed my mind!

Here’s a roundup of my favorites from Flynn Skye:

EYELET JUMPSUIT / UFORIA FITNESS STUDIO

05.30.2017

Hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend! We kept it local but managed to stay pretty active! We went on a hike with friends in the Marin Headlands, got our sweat on at the gym and also checked out a few new (to me) fitness studios.

On Saturday, Uforia Studios invited me to take a GRIT class. It was my first time to the studio (over on Polk street in San Francisco) and I’m so glad I checked it out! GRIT is their strength training classs which combines both cardio and conditioning. The difference between this class and any other studio I’ve been to is that they dont focus on reps, but focus on moving to the beat of the music. It makes it more fun, and I definitely moved much faster then normal. Each teacher has a different routine, but my class was a combination of cardio on and off a wood box, with some very quick reps with weights focusing on the full body. I was definitely sweating and very sore the next day, all signs of a great workout! It was challenging to me, and also nice to not focus so much on lifting heavy weights, but focusing on more reps and having fun with the music.

Uforia Studios also has a hip hop dance class (next on my list!) and a spin class classed Revolutions. Uforia is a combination of high energy, music driven fitness class with loud music and focus on moving with beat of the music. The classes are fun and affordable, I highly recommended you check them out if you are in the San Francisco area!

I was planning to run home from Uforia, but I decided that I was wayyyy to tired from my class! (Doesnt happen often, so you know if was a good one!) So instead of running, I walked and found a gem of a cycling studio on my way. Pelo Fitness caught my eye from the huge modern building and bright orange sign. I decided to stop in to check it out and met the owner Alan, who gave me a mini tour and talked to me about his goals for the studio. Pelo Fitness has been open in SF since the beginning of the year, and will be expanding into strength training and yoga classes within the next few months. I absolutely LOVED the vibe of the studio. It was super chic and modern, and the actual spin studio looks like a theater with one of the best sound systems I’ve heard. Pelo is about making connections with people, hanging out in the studio after class, and different from most cycling classes, you can see what level of effort you are putting into your ride depending on your fitness level. I’m going back for a class this week and cant wait!

Anyways, onto the fashion portion of this post! Today I’m sharing this eyelet jumpsuit I’ve worn out quite a bit recently. I took it on a work trip to Mexico, and have also been wearing it out quite a bit around the city. Jumpsuits are so effortless, and the eyelet design on this one is just gorgeous.

There are SOOOO many good options! I am snagging this one and this one for a Palm Springs trip I have coming up. There are so many classic black options that I am in love with. This is the perfect black jumpsuit under $100 and this one for under $40! Also how fun is this red little number?!

NORDSTROM HALF YEARLY SALE FAVORITES

05.26.2017

The best sale of the year is here! I LOVE the Nordstrom half yearly, there are SO many good finds for up to 40% off! If you’ve had your eye on anything now is your time to pick up the goods as its most likely on sale! Nordstrom has always been my go-to retailer so when this sale comes up I tend to go a little crazaay. 🙂

This leather jacket that I’m wearing above is the best purchase I’ve made (maybe ever)! I wear it at least 3 days a week (kind of scary to admit) but this jacket is such a good investment and UNDER $60!! We wear jackets all year round here in SF and this is my favorite jacket I own. Even if it’s hot where you live, I would swoop this one up anyways. Also these Nike leggings are similar to the ones above for UNDER $30!

I’ve also definitely been wearing this cropped sweatshirt to death and its on sale for $40!

This open back tank, this crop top and these super cute lace up leggings are all in my cart! If you are on the hunt for a good sports bra, there are plenty of options. I have this, this and this one and they are all in heavy rotation and great quality!

How pretty is this black maxi?! I’m also loving this white dress ($40!) and this chambray off the shoulder. As for tops I’m all about one shoulder, off the shoulder, frills, you name it! I definitely have this one ($23) in my cart and have been eyeing this and this one forever and going to snag them both! They are all under $30! Such a steal. These classic heels and so comfortable, I may snag in this olive color. I also love this and this bag.

Below are a few more of my favorites for you girls! Hope this helps, as I know its hard to sift through all the goods on the site. Also be sure to act quick, I’ve noticed a lot of styles and sizes out of stock pretty quick!

ROMPER SEASON

05.17.2017

Its that time of year…the sun is out (sort of) and its time to bring the summer dresses and rompers to the front of the closet. I la la love jumpsuits and rompers, they are just too easy! I love just throwing them on and not having to think about styling a top and bottom. Also, almost every romper I’ve come across is just so dang cute! Today I’m sharing a few of my favorites including this one by Ale by Alessandra.

ROMPER // CLUTCH // HEELS (also love these and these)

(how gorgeous are these blooms here in the city?!)

I love the tie on the front and sleeves of this romper and the cute little tassles at the bottom! Also, I’ve found that some rompers run really short (too short sometimes) but this one fits just right. Below are a few of my favorite rompers at the moment. I LOVE this white off the shoulder number as well as this black on shoulder romper for evening.

Thanks for stopping by! xo
