I’m so excited to be a part of Scarlet Threads for the third year in a row!
This sale is a great opportunity for women to not only clear out their closet of items they don’t wear anymore, but also to find cute, new things at a great price. I usually contribute around 200 items to the cause, and walk away with everything from TOMS booties to vintage handbags to a hand-painted Parisian scene on canvas. This time, the sale is bigger than ever, because it’s encompassing summer AND fall items. I’ll be there volunteering and shopping several days throughout the sale, if you’re in the area, I hope to see you there!

Floral Midi Skirt and Ruffled Tank
It’s only mid-June and this Southern California heat already has me longing for days spent poolside, with a nice, icy cocktail in my hand. Until my next vacation (Palm Springs in a few weeks!), where I can make that dream a reality, I will be attempting to bear this sweltering season in vented, flowy skirts and bare tanks. I love this particular skirt because it features virtually every bright, summery color, making it so fun to plan an outfit around. A couple of subtly shiny pieces of jewelry and a vintage handbag and I’m all set đ

White Pleated Maxi and Olive Jacket
Good morning, lovelies! I’ve been working a lot lately, picking up extra shifts where I can, so my apologies for not posting as often as I ‘d like! 6 days a week behind a desk has me daydreaming of outfits and color palettes, and definitely perusing an online sale or two in my downtime at the office đ
I was able to steal a couple hours away this past weekend for some “me” time, which I crave after dealing with angry patients all week! This time, shooting with the delightful Holli Zenko, I wanted to play around with a couple of very casual items and turn them up a notch with loads of layered gold jewelry. I hope you enjoy!

Neon Florals and Rebecca Minkoff Bag
I’m so in love with the palette of this look, from the neon shades of the floral-print skirt to the icy lilac of my newest handbag acquisition from Rebecca Minkoff. I grounded those vibrant colors with black sandals and this great asymmetrical top, and I loved the effect. I wore this outfit for wandering around downtown in my city, sipping on an iced coffee and window-shopping.
