On The Go

admin — Wed, 31 Aug 2016 11:00:20 +0000

What’s your go to when on the go? For me it’s an effortless blazer, comfortable pants and some great accessories to complete the look. A look so simple that can easily be dressed up or down which is perfect for those days you desire comfort and functionality during the day but throw on some great heels and clutch and you are set for the evening. If you are like me, with a full time job and an attempt at a social life then you understand what little time there is between when you get off work to when you would like to meet up with friends. Let’s be honest we all try to make it to Happy Hour because it really is the golden hour/s in the day. The anticipated hours of relaxation and the feeling of accomplishment finishing the work day while celebrating with good friends over half priced, refreshing drinks is everything. Unfortunately that Happy Hour is just so inconveniently early!! So why waist time changing for the occasion. Instead plan the perfect desk to drinks look ahead of time to ensure you maximize that Happy Hour to the fullest. The ultimate on the go outfit that is work appropriate, chic and effortlessly put […]

Light Fall Layering

I’m not sure if I should be happy or sad that the coldest southern California gets is the low 50’s. The change of seasons and cold weather tied to the holidays this time of year really carries a special sentiment and makes me miss being back home on the East Coast. I suppose when I start hearing about the cold, bitter days and slushy roads with predictions for more snow, then maybe I will feel a bit more excited about making my way to the beach in the middle of February like when I first moved here. But for now I will just have to partake in fall dressing with light layering and knee high boots any chance I get. Layering a white or denim button down under a shirt always elevates your outfit and gives that unexpected take on a basic top. I love popping a crisp collar on top of another texture for a sophisticated, clean layering which is perfect for achieving a cozy look with out being too hot. Check out a few other of my favorite layering pieces to achieve a similar look for fall all under $80 Wearing- Top: Banana Republic just sold out, similar here; White […]

Think Pink

Think Pink as this wall has me feeling like a little girl in a candy shop. Bubble gum, lolli pops, cotton candy, and all the sweet sugary stuff that my parents tried so hard not to give to an already high-strung child. As a little one (i.e. until I graduated from College) I always had a problem of consuming way too much candy. I’ve learned my lessons after a few root canals, cavities, and fillings, now I’m much better with my addiction 😉 There is one trend that has made a come back that really brings back fun, childhood memories which is the matching set look. My mom used to always dress my sister and I in not only matching color coordinated outfits but matching sets as well. I may not have been a fan of that back then but I’m loving the concept now. I mean who wouldn’t want an already matching set that you can mix and match with other pieces creating so many effortless, alternative outfits. This matching set is the perfect example. The shorts are high waisted, so pairing it with a white crop top and a denim jacket will give it more of a laid back look. For night, I […]
