Red Hot

It’s been hot in Seattle this week. Anything over 80 feels sweltering with our humidity. We are very happy to have AC at the current place! #blessed

I finally found the perfect fire engine red pants. It’s such a classic staple that looks great with just about anything. I can see these pants with a stripe tee, button up blouse, or even a fun printed top.

I now have these pants in five colors: red, bright pink, burgundy, navy, and black. In this post I wore the navy and mentioned that the red and pink were on my wish list. As you can see, I decided to take the plunge and it was totally worth it. The fabric is so stretchy and forgiving, and it works great for the office. I wear mine at least once a week.

How else would you style these pants? You guys had such great suggestion for this navy and white stripe dress.

Thank so much for reading. Have a lovely weekend!

Rose Gold

Lace & Pearls Floral Dress 1 Lace & Pearls Floral Dress 2 Lace & Pearls Floral Dress 3 Lace & Pearls Floral Dress 4Dress: Hinge (old) | Denim Jacket: Gap (similar) | Flats: Sam Edelman (on sale) | Bracelets: J.Crew, Stella & Dot, Nordstrom (similar) | Necklace: Madewell (similar) | Brooch: Vintage

This dress is my go-to for summer weddings and now, surprisingly, everyday wear. It is so comfortable and easily transitions from dressy to weekend casual. I love the muted colors, and depending on how you style it, you can highlight whatever color you want.

Today I went with my favorite denim jacket to dress down the the silk material. It was the perfect time to try out my new rose gold flats (need these in every color) to compliment the coral in the dress. To keep this look causal, I added multiple bracelets, a delicate necklace and a vintage brooch.

I hope everyone had an awesome holiday weekend. We had a impromptu BBQ with my mom and her boyfriend and ended the night at a local park watching the fireworks. It was so much fun.

Thanks so much for reading. I’ll see you Thursday!

On the Fence

June 30, 2015

Lace & Pearls Green Floral Dress 1 Lace & Pearls Green Floral Dress 2 Lace & Pearls Green Floral Dress 3Lace & Pearls Green Floral Dress 4Dress: Madewell (old) | Denim Jacket: Loft | Necklace: Micheal Kors (old)| Bracelet: Loft (old) | Sandals: Dansko (old) | Lipstick: Bite Beauty (color Moka)

I spotted this adorable hand-painted fence shortly after we moved. I knew immediately that it would make the perfect backdrop for some photos. It’s so sweet and it compliments this dress. It was a bit windy when we shot this look, making the photos a little more playful and fun.

I have created an Instagram account for this blog and I am excited to start posting content over there. Have any of you created a separate Instagram account for your blog? If so, what was the deciding factor for making this decision?

Happy Spring

March 19, 2015

DSC_0219DSC_0252DSC_0263Sweater: J.Crew (same style/different color) | Skirt: J.Crew (old)| Denim Jacket: Gap (similar) | Necklace : J.Crew (old) | Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs (similar) | Booties: Jambu | Lipstick: Bite (color Moka)

Whenever I wear a skirt or dress, I always find it challenging to match the tights and the shoes. I did some research and here are the recommended guidelines.

  1. You should match your tights/socks to your shoes.
  2. Or, match your tights to your skirt/dress and keep the shoe neutral.

This outfit just missed St. Patrick’s Day. Not to worry though, as it still embodies the look of spring. This sweater is an oldie but a goodie and super warm. I bought it to compliment the multicolored palette of the skirt. The finishing touch is the bright yellow bubble necklace. If that necklaces doesn’t say spring then I don’t know what does.

Have a great weekend everyone. See you Tuesday!

Camo Pants

November 3, 2014

DSC_0142 DSC_0134 DSC_0130Denim Jacket: Gap |Sweater: J.Crew Factory | Denim: Gap (similar) | Shoes: Dr. Scholl’s | Necklace: Sabine (similar) | Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Bracelet : Nadri (similar) | Earrings: Nordstrom Rack (similar) | Ring: Gorjana | Lip gloss: Giorgio Armani color 519| Lipliner: NARS color Rosebud

I have a handful of novelty sweaters (mainly prints) but not enough solids.  I recently purchased this sweater from J.Crew Factory during one of their weekly promotions. The waffle texture makes this sweater interesting.  I might pick up another one in a different color. These pants would also look great with a chambray shirt.
