fall is in the air.

Fall is definitely in the air. The past few mornings I've woken up and had put another quilt on the bed...there's a chill in the air! In turn, I've taken to wearing a cardigan or blazer to work most days. Luckily I just scored the best deal ever on Poshmark (more on that to come!)...but for now, here's an outfit I put together from some old favorites. I love versatile pieces like these. I've worn each of these pieces separately many times, but put them together for a new outfit today.

What are you favorite versatile pieces to mix and match?

a vintage vibe.

Hope you all had a  great weekend! Sorry for the lack of posts last week but I had an incredibly busy week at work...you know how that goes! :)

Paisley is one of those fabrics that always seems very 'vintage' to me. I scored this dress at H+M a couple of seasons back and immediately fell in love with the colorful pattern, as well as the flattering fit + flare shape. Rather than pairing with a nude pump I decided to go with a contrasting red heel with a thick stacked heel (so comfortable!). After taking these photos I realized that my nails just happened to match my shoes perfectly....love when that happens!

Overall, I'd say this look is a bit of a departure from my normal style, but I figured it was a fun fall-transition outfit!

I hope everyone out there had a great Labor Day weekend! Now that summer is kinda/sorta over, it seems as though everyone is transitioning towards a more "fall" inspired look...except for this girl! I don't know what the weather was like in your neck of the woods over the long weekend, but here in the Bay Area IT. WAS. HOT. It actually seems as though each year the summer gets warmer and warmer, but that's for a different time!

Anyways, while the weather's still in the 80's and 90's I'll be rocking my summer wardrobe while I still can!

hello september.

I can't believe that Monday is Labor Day! Where did the summer go...actually, where has this entire year gone!?! I guess it's true what they say, the older you get, the faster time flies!

With that, I'll leave you with a few of my favorite finds from the week:

• If you're planning a trip to San Francisco (or if you live nearby and want to try out some different spots), check out this 12 Hours Travel Guide and see the best of the city by the bay in just one day!
• I know I'm not the only one that goes into Target for toothpaste and leaves with a cart full of items I didn't know I "needed"...admit it, your Target obsession is out of control too!
• One of my (and just about every female I know) favorite movies, The Notebook is now ten years old...check it out from a guy's perspective!
• If you enjoy great design as much as I do, you'll appreciate these great packaging ideas!
• Usually if I'm going to bake, I'll make cupcakes...but this week I decided to try my hand at a "real" cake...not as easy as I thought it would be! Make it easy on yourself and check out these tips on how to build a cake like a pro!
• I'm always on the look out for new (and more importantly, easy) ways to do my hair for work...I'm loving this chic braided bun!

Whatever your plans are this long weekend, have fun, stay safe, and get out there and enjoy the last weekend of the summer! See you all in September!

Happy Friday Eve Thursday!

I know what you're probably thinking..."Wow, this girl wears those white jeans a lot!' I can't help it... they're my favorite pair of jeans and summer is coming to an end! #sorryimnotsorry

I've been wearing these to work quite a bit as well. In fact, today's outfit is almost identical to this one I wore a few weeks back!

If you don't own a pair of white jeans, I highly recommend adding a pair to your closet (preferably ankle length). Check out these, these, and these (all on sale!) You can thank me later! :)

xoxo,
