Top Summer Shoe Trends | 2015
Get excited girls, my ultimate guide to summer shoe trends is here! This summer is all about fringe, lace-up ankle straps, espadrilles, metallics and more!
I pulled together some fabulous (and super budget friendly) options that fall into each of summer’s top four trends! A few of my favorites are Old Navy’s Tie Gladiators, Target’s Embellished Footbeds, Forever 21’s Crochet Espadrilles and H&M’s Floral Platforms. As you are shopping, you will probably notice a lot of the styles fall into more than one trend, covering all your bases! (crochet + espadrilles = dreamy!) And the best part of all is the price tags on these picks! They are all priced under $45- now that’s a trend I can get behind! Happy shopping and share your favorites in the comments below!

White Eyelet and Bright Blooms
Spring is in full swing, I mean just look at those blooms! I paired all my favorite spring trends together for today’s look. Bright colors, eyelet and distressed denim! I’ve been wearing these pieces on repeat this spring and I think they will seamlessly carry me into summer!
Nothing makes a weekend better than the perfect pair of comfy boyfriend jeans. I am unhealthily obsessed with my newest Blank NYC jeans. They are stretchy, comfortable and I think the distressing on them is perfect. I find myself wearing them WAY too much. I would wear them everyday if I could!
When wearing boyfriend denim I think it’s important to pair them with girly pieces. The wedges and boyfriend jean combo is perfect for summer. It gives off a feminine, casual look that can take you from day to night. Finish the look with some fun accessories and you are ready to walk out the door!

Garden Party Ready | Spring Dressy
Well, it’s finally here. Happy first day of spring!
Lately I’ve been inspired by super feminine “spring dressy” looks. I’ve been dying to get dolled up for really any reason ever since Lauren Conrad’s launch of her Cinderella Collection. Adding to my obsession, I recently came across this J. Crew Laser-cut Midi Skirt and cannot stop thinking about it! At $128, it’s more expensive than I normally spend on such an impractical purchase, but I couldn’t resist including it in today’s Garden Party collection. It doesn’t hurt to look right?
With Easter right around the corner, retailers are starting to shift their assortment to spring apparel, so it’s about time our closets start following suite! This spring is all about pretty pastels, texture and florals, and my favorite items seem to be all about texture. Check out the embellished clutches, textured skirts and even cut-out shoes below! There are tons of tiny details built into these pieces that make them feel perfectly delicate, ultra feminine and spring forward. How could you possibly resist them?
Whether you are headed to a garden party, celebrating Easter with your family or just dressing up in front of your mirror at home, the collection below is too good to pass up. Spring forward with spring dressy!

Spring Getaway Guide- Under $30
Although I no longer have an official spring break, my calendar is always packed with weekend getaways. Between my trips to the beach, wine country and Southern California, I’ve been packing for the sunshine a lot lately. And after all this practice, I’ve got it down to a science! That’s why I pulled together today’s spring getaway guide.
My spring getaway guide has a definite beach vibe- featuring tassels, fringe, lace and more! My vacation looks are always about staying casual and effortless. I believe you should be able to go comfortably from poolside to town without a major wardrobe change. And lucky for you my picks below help you do just that!
Packing for a trip is all about the staples. Bring a statement hat, sunglasses and a great cover-up and you are already half-way there! Now, just add a few swimsuits and your favorite shoes in a beach bag and you are good to go! (Make sure you check out my spring shoe trends post for more amazing deals on shoes!) As long as you stick to more neutral items, your outfitting will be a breeze no matter where you are.
Versatility is key, but my favorite part about this collection is the price tag! Each of these items can be found for under $30, can you believe it? I am obsessed with the tassel bracelets from gold and gray and the H&M beaded shorts, I can see myself wearing these with everything!

Channel the Romance- floral and lace trend
Wake up! Winter is almost over and it’s time to start stocking up on some spring looks!
Florals, crochet and lace are all attracting my eye this season. There’s something about this ultra-feminine look that just screams “spring has sprung!”. Connecting the spring mentality to these pieces makes this trend completely irresistible. This trend goes perfectly with summer festivals, but it also great for any barbecue or day out and about. Although I love each of these pieces individually, I would personally choose to style them separately. I think a delicate crochet top looks great with boyfriend jeans and I would rather wear a floral skirt with something like a leather jacket. I love mixing the soft side with some edge, it makes this trend more transitional and wear now. Shop my favorite floral and lace trends below and share your must-haves in the comments!

Let’s be Princesses!
What little girl didn’t want to be a Princess growing up? Disney Prinesses are magical! Maybe you wanted to be Cinderella, Ariel or Mulan? Maybe you wanted to be a different Princess every day of the week? Who could blame you! They are all amazing and it’s about time someone made a Princess collection so we can dress like one everyday of the week.
That’s where Kohl’s new Disney’s Cinderella Collection comes in! This collection is girly, whimsical and carefree. Check out how cute Lauren Conrad looks in her LC by Lauren Conrad Cinderella Collection!
I’ve been enchanted by Lauren Conrad’s spin on the Cinderella Collection. The Glass Slipper Sweater and the Tulle Skirt is one of my favorite looks and how adorable is that Organza Bow-Back Dress? After exploring her collection, I noticed Kohl’s Disney’s Cinderella Collection spans wider than just the LC by Lauren Conrad brand. The offering includes casual graphic tees, like the Tulip-Back Tank pictured below, and dressier pieces like the Rosette Strapless Dress. You can seriously dress like a Disney Princess for every occasion! My favorite part of the collection is they don’t scream “Princess”. These pieces give a subtle nod and a modern take on the Princess we all know and love, Cinderella. And if Cinderella isn’t the Princess you had your heart set on, you’re in luck! It sounds like Cinderella is the first Princess to get a Kohl’s collection, but not the last! We can expect the next launch in May. Until then, shop the looks below and let me know what you love and hate in the comments!

Flowers & Fringe
The weather in San Francisco was unbeatable this weekend so my husband and I took advantage of the sunshine and went on a stroll through Golden Gate Park. For those of you who don’t know, Golden Gate Park is even bigger than Central Park so we spent hours there and barely made a dent on the map.
We spent a lot of our time in the The Conservatory of Flowers (pictured below) and the Botanical Gardens. As you can see, the place was covered with bright, blooming flowers… I felt right at home in my floral maxi! The park trails took us from hiking up wooden steps, strolling around the lake, to inside a museum. It’s tough to find an outfit that can fit the bill for all that so I stuck to this casual light layered look. It has a boho feel that keeps it casual and pairing it with sandals keeps it comfy. Shop the look at the bottom of the post!
Forever 21 Fringe Sweater ($23) / Forever 21 Floral Maxi ($33) / Sandals- similar Dolce Vita ($35) and Charlotte Russe ($15) / Leopard Crossbody (sold out)- similar Diane von Furstenburg ($198) and kate spade ($77) / gorjana roya collar necklace ($93)
