Cool & Cozy

Fall in San Francisco is all about slowly transitioning yourself from summer into fall. Although September and October are technically fall months, we’ve had some of our warmest days of the year in these months! It doesn’t seem like Mother Nature is quite ready to embrace fall, but that doesn’t mean I’m not ready!

Cool and Cozy 1

In this type of weather, I’ve learned the best way to embrace fall without breaking a sweat is to mix your fall wardrobe with summer pieces. That way I can wear my new sweater and booties from Old Navy that I’ve been dying to wear and not have a heat stroke! I chose to pair these with my go-to chiffon skirt I got this summer, but a pencil skirt, a midi skirt or even cut-offs would work too!

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!

September RocksBox Review

The mailman came and I have a new RocksBox to share with all of you!

How it works- It’s a monthly subscription costing $19.99/month. First you create a style profile, which basically consists of a quick survey of what jewelry types, metals, etc. you prefer and a gallery of pictures where you can pick your favorite items. From that profile, three styles are picked just for you and delivered in cute little boxes wrapped up with a ribbon. Now for the fun part, you can wear the jewelry as much as you want and just as easily send them back whenever you want! There’s no timeline, you can get as many or as little boxes as you want a month. As soon as you’re ready to send them back, you drop them in the mail and three more will be sent your way. Fall in love with one of the items? No prob, keep it! You get 20% off the retail price of any piece in your box to add to your permanent collection. Below is my stash from this month’s box.

RocksBox Review Vol 02

Gorjana Mika Gold Pendant Necklace (retails at $85, member price is $68)– This necklace is both beautiful and edgy. When I received this box, I didn’t know much about Gorjana jewelry, but I could immediately tell this necklace was great quality. I love the simplicity of the shape paired with the sharpness of the triangle. It’s not like any other pendant in my collection, I already know I will get a ton of use out of it!

House of Harlow 1960 Sunburst Bangle in Black and White (retails at $68, member price is $54)– This is the second House of Harlow piece I’ve received in my RocksBox. And again, just like the last one, I LOVE the look of it, but I’m not crazy about wearing it. After it’s first wear, I noticed my last House of Harlow necklace ended up pinching my neck and this bangle is uncomfortable also. It’s not only HUGE, but also heavy. I prefer  to stack my bangles and for them to run a little smaller so they don’t slide up and down my arm all day. This bangle was so large, it couldn’t be worn with any other bangles, but besides the size, I would definitely purchase it..

Wanderlust + Co X Double Crystal Silver Ring (retails at $29, member price is $23)– This ring is a ton of fun and is different from any other ring I own! Instead of the simple circle shape, it’s actually a large “X” that takes up the area of my finger, all the way to my knuckle! It’s a ring worn to make a statement. The unusual “X” shape gives it a little bit of edge, but the rhinestones and silver color keep it dainty. For only $23, it’s a steal I don’t know if I can pass up!

What I really love about RocksBox is the flexibility it offers. It allows you to experiment with your style risk-free! You can try out new trends and colors in the comfort of your own home and send back what doesn’t work. You also have the flexibility to update your style profile and review each item you receive to give the stylists a better idea of what you want in the future. So far, the stylists have been spot on with their selections for me, it’s like Christmas morning when my RocksBox arrives!
