Mint Tweed

This past week, I decided to go for a more polished look with this mint green tweed jacket. I kept it easy by pairing it back with simple timeless pieces like a black tee and my selvedge Levi’s. My favorite part of the outfit is the Naya Tahlia Metallic Oxfords. I got a great deal on these from Hautelook! They are definite statement shoes and are actually super comfortable! Although I was going for a menswear inspired look, I wanted to spice it up with all these metallic accessories to give a fresh, feminine look.

Fall Layering Piece: The Quilted Vest

I’ve been looking for a budget friendly vest for awhile now and finally stumbled upon this quilted one from Old Navy. Although it’s thin, this vest is the perfect fall layering piece. I love the olive color, but you have to be careful how you style it so you don’t start looking like a lumberjack!

That’s why I chose to pair this vest with some über-feminine pieces. By styling olive with soft blush, it immediately softens the look up. I also layered it with a delicate sweater, my scallop clutch and some gold accessories which immediately brings up the sophistication level. What’s your favorite fall layering piece?

Crème de la Crème

Happy Humpday! It’s been quite some time since I posted an outfit post, but the wait is over!

I bought this Creme de la Creme Sweatshirt at Nordstom awhile back for only $10! It’s super similar to Zoe Karssen’s style that was retailing for $180! I get a ton of use out of this sweatshirt, dressing it up and dressing it down. It goes perfect with jeans (as pictured here), but it looks great glammed up with a skirt too! There’s no doubt this sweatshirt is versatile, but even so I can safely say I wouldn’t pay the inspiration’s steep price of $180!

This past weekend I decided to dress it up with layers. I chose my favorite Gap Polka Dot Oxford to wear under it and paired it back to my perfectly distressed 501’s. Finish it off with some grey suede heels and I’m ready for fall!

Summer in San Francisco

As August comes to an end, summer in San Francisco begins! Fall is a magical time for us in San Francisco- it’s when temperatures start to rise and tourist season starts to wind down, the sun starts to shine a little brighter and the streets are a little less crowded. That’s why this weekend we were focused on enjoying our wonderful city!

I wore my favorite summer shorts, my white Levi 501’s. They scream summer with the multi colored neon dots embroidered on the front. With these temperatures, it’s key to wear your shorts and tanks, but I never leave home without a jacket! I chose my favorite chambray top from Levi’s, the perfect piece to complete any outfit and shield me from the wind.

The Statement Necklace

I recently got this beautiful color mix necklace for my birthday and I’m in love! It is definitely a statement piece and makes an impact on any outfit. The color-mixing gives it a ton of versatility, making it easy to pair back to almost anything. Today I chose to pair the necklace back to neutral colors to let the necklace shine on it’s own. Lastly, I showcased this fun necklace with a high pony to keep the look casual.

The Boyfriend Jean

Last week I finally found a pair of boyfriend jeans that work for me. I spotted these 501’s with the perfect amount of destruction I was looking for and had to have them. After a quick cuff and throwing on some heels, I’m out the door.

I love this outfit because it’s simple and effortless. These jeans can be dressed up or dressed down. For dinner with my husband, I decided to dress them up with heels and a leather jacket. This leather moto jacket is a recent find from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale- they sold out, but I found a similar one at Macy’s. Shop the full look below!

Casual Monday

Today I’m keeping it casual. Layers, sneakers and bold jewelry are usual suspects in my weekend wardrobe. In San Francisco, I always make sure to dress in layers. You never know where the day will take you and the weather changes drastically from one neighborhood to the next.

Also, sneakers are a must when climbing the hills of San Francisco. I’ve expressed my love for these particular slip-ons in the posts Pop of Mint and Studs & Crochet. They are a great go-to shoe to have in your closet and they go with everything!

When running errands, basics are a must. I love starting with this easy knit tee/skirt combo, throwing on a chambray top and mixing it up with my favorite accessories of the moment. Whether it’s my shoes, purse or jewelry, I always choose one to brighten up the outfit. What’s your go-to accessory to add personality to your basic outfits?

All American Twirl

Hi all! I hope you had an amazing holiday weekend! Fourth of July is for spending time with family, enjoying the outdoors, eating great food and watching fireworks, of course! My wonderful weekend included all of these All American things.

While roaming the streets this weekend I saw so many patriotic outfits. Independence Day is a great excuse to show off your favorite red, white and blue outfits. I love all the stars, stripes and flag pieces, but for a dressier look I opted for this simple white organza skirt and paired it back to an American classic, a Levi’s denim vest! Also, I’ve been looking for an excuse to wear these amazing blue printed wedges I scored from Hautelook! What better excuse than this festive holiday?

City by the Bay

I have to admit, I’m not normally a huge fan of graffiti, but I love this City by the Bay wall near our apartment. It’s lively, colorful and encompasses all the joy San Francisco has to offer! After passing this wall every week, I finally felt compelled to feature it on my blog. And what better way to show off this vivid work of art than the white-hot trend that’s everywhere this season?

Head-to-toe white is a great look this summer! It’s such an easy outfit to pull together and looks effortlessly polished. I especially love my new laser cut flats from Target, they were a steal at only $17.48! What are your thoughts on the white-hot trend? Share your favorite pieces in the comments below!

Ferry Building Farmers Market

This past Saturday, my husband and I made a trip to the Ferry Building Farmers Market. I love strolling along the embarcadero when it’s nice out- it’s so relaxing and the views are incredible! We were in search of some fresh fruit, but this farmers market has much more than that! The options were endless for produce, pasta, flowers and more. Check out the amazing hydrangeas I found below!

This weekend was a little chillier in San Francisco, so I opted for my go-to Levi’s 501 Selvedge Jeans and a chambray top. I also broke out my pink TOMS wedges this weekend. Because these TOMS are so cute, comfortable and polished, I chose them as my “dancing shoes” for our wedding reception. Now I love wearing these when I’m spending the day with my husband, it takes me back to how much fun we had dancing the night away! Do you have shoes that carry memories like these do? If so, share in the comments below!
