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!

Game On!

With the World Series continuing into the weekend, I already know my next few nights will be jam-packed with Giants festivities. I love showing spirit during the games, but not at the expense of style. I think it’s important to dress up the traditional team apparel, especially when the games fall on weekend nights.

My advice for taking your team gear to the next level:

Pick one item with your team’s logo on it. I suggest hats, they are the easiest to dress up and down and can match back to a ton of things already in your closet! (You can’t go wrong with a baseball hat or a beanie- they are both on trend this fall!)
Choose some girly items to pair with your team gear. Find a dress, skirt or even a lace top to wear with it. Any feminine details that soften the look will immediately transform it into night!
Lastly, add some layers! Denim, leather, camo- any will work! You could even go further with the sporty look and wear a baseball or varsity jacket!

Check out my look below! I love the wool texture of this Giant’s hat. It’s perfect for fall and still screams Giants! (Don’t worry if you cheer for another team! They have a TON of cute team hats, with nearly every style, for every team!!) I chose to dress it up with a faux leather skirt and a hooded denim jacket. Now I’m ready for whatever this weekend throws at me! (Hopefully the Giants are too!)

How to Stay Cozy and Still Feminine

Whether San Francisco weather feels like it or not, there’s no denying fall is in full swing when scrolling through my instagram feed of pumpkins and flannel.

When living in the Midwest, fall was always my favorite time of year. Nothing is more beautiful than when the leaves start turning color, apple & pumpkin desserts take over pinterest and we start running around in our coziest sweaters & boots. But to be honest, my coziest and comfiest sweaters are not necessarily the most glamorous things in my closet.

It can be hard to find sweaters that get you into the holiday spirit without sporting the hibernating polar bear look. That’s why I pulled together 9 beautiful sweaters (all under $50) that are not only fall appropriate, but completely feminine!

When shopping for cozy sweaters this season, keep these few tips in mind:

Look for feminine details– added details, like bows, hearts, dots, lace, etc. will all add a girly touch, even on oversized silhouettes.
Pair it back to girly pieces– have a graphic or basic sweater? Easy! Wear it with a full skirt, chiffon maxi, or anything to keep it soft and feminine.
Pay attention to shapes– I know sometimes you just want to rock a slouchy sweater and that’s totally fine, but make sure you pair it back with leggings or skinnies to keep the silhouette slimming.
A little glam never hurt anyone– I added a few embellished options below, both rhinestone and sequins, because let’s be real… a little glam never hurt anyone.

Flowers and Vines

As I mentioned in Monday’s Red Wine and Red Rompers post, my husband and I had a great time in Healdsburg, CA this past weekend. This tiny town not only offered us great wine, but also gorgeous views! These snapshots were taken at Truett Hurst, a rustic winery with incredible landscaping and awesome grounds to explore.

On this windy day, I sported this chiffon floral maxi (an incredible deal I snagged from Forever 21!). I felt pretty fabulous as it caught in the gusts of wind as we walked around the winery. Since I knew we would be on our feet all day, I stayed practical and finished this look with my favorite rhinestone flats and this simple blush crossbody. It was a fresh, easy summer look that worked perfectly for a day spent relaxing outside.

Red Wine & Red Rompers

This past weekend, my husband and I took a trip to Healdsburg, CA. We have been talking about taking a trip up to wine country to stock up on our favorite beverage for some time now and finally decided to plan it. For this trip, we focused on this adorable little town called Healdsburg. The wineries were beautiful, the weather was great and the food was amazing; we couldn’t have asked for anything more from this small town!

Since it’s much warmer in this area than San Francisco, I decided to go with this bold shorts romper from Forever 21. As I’ve mentioned before, I love the ease of rompers and this one is no exception! I paired it back with gold and camel accessories for a fresh summer look. What are your favorite day trip looks? Shop mine below!

Dots & Ruffles

This weekend I stumbled upon this wall of beautiful pink flowers and just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to use it as a backdrop. How could I when these vibrant blooms perfectly matched my pink bamboo clutch? I paired this bold clutch back to this effortless romper I got from Forever21 (for only $19.80!). Rompers are a must for any girl’s wardrobe. Since they are a one-piece look, they are so easy to throw on and look fabulous!

Forever 21 Polka Dot Romper / Cleopatra Brooke Clutch (purchased on Hautelook, but also sold at Overstock) / Michael Antonio Nude Wedges (similar options: DV by Dolce Vita, BP at Nordstrom and BC Footwear at Zappos) / Gold Spike Necklace from Nordstrom (similar options: Neiman Marcus lastcall, Apt. 9 by Kohl’s and Sam Edelman) / LC by Lauren Conrad Sunglasses (similar options: here and here at Forever 21)

Lastly, I finished the look with neutral accessories. In my opinion, it’s not summer without wedges and these Michael Antonio nude wedges are one of my favorite pairs. Not only do they go great with everything, they are super comfy! I also love the inner beauty of gold metallic that peeks out under my toes; it adds a little extra glam to the look. Can’t get enough rompers? Check out my post last week Eyelet Romper. Which look is your favorite?
