Rebecca Taylor Print Maxi

November 12, 2015

Dress number two from Rebecca Taylor by way of Rent the Runway. Another gorgeous print I fell in love with! The styles are also similar, with a self-tie waist-cincher, button-down front, and ruffled cap sleeves on both dresses. The maxi flows beautifully when you walk, allowing a little leg to peek out too.
This dress would actually be the perfect thing to bring on the upcoming cruise (4 days in Catalina/Ensenada) I’m planning for! I’ve never been on a cruise before, so I’ve spent my recent downtime at work researching every little thing I shouldn’t be caught without.. I’ve already locked down my “formal dinner” gown here, and only have one swimsuit so no guessing game in that department. It’s the in-between time that I’m trying to figure out dressing for. I’d love to hear your tips on dressing for a cruise!

Print Playdress

November 6, 2015

It’s now November, and warm days are still a thing for those living on the west coast. I love to have flirty little dresses like this around for such days. This one in particular, has such a fun, season-less print, and a lovely movement when I walk. This dress was borrowed from Rent the Runway, one of their many more casual, daytime options available with the Unlimited subscription.
Side note, and completely off-topic, but I am still totally affected by Glenn’s likely demise on The Walking Dead! I cried when it was happening, and then again when the show was over and couldn’t sleep that night. I am completely aware that it’s just a TV show and not real, but it was just so sad! He’d been on the show forever, and you can’t help but hope for him to be reunited with Maggie, the love of his life. And also how devastated she’s going to be! Ahhh, I can’t.. Until next episode, which I’ve missed due to my nutty work schedule! I think they’re showing it again tonight 😀

Moto Jacket and Pleated Skirt

October 26, 2015

I was going through my closet a few days back and came across this tank I had bought from Nordstrom Rack. I realized that all throughout summer, I hadn’t worn it even once! For shame, I think it’s quite cute. Then I got the idea to make it a layering piece for fall! I could also wear it with jeans, boots, and a long cardigan on top.
What’s a summer item you’d like to restyle for fall?

One Item, Five Ways ~ Cozy Chic

October 14, 2015

Partnering with Layered by Cake online boutique, this is my first post of a new blog series, “One Item, Five Ways.” I’m so excited to be kicking off these posts today, as I know that one of my constant wardrobe challenges is finding different ways to wear items in my own closet. I love being able to share with you all the ways to re-purpose items in your own closet that you may have stashed in the back because you’re not sure how to wear them.

This skirt is SUPER stretchy and flattering on all body types. I adore the palette for autumn and winter, but it can easily transition in to next spring as well. I’ve definitely been trying to keep an eye on my expenditures and a tight fashion budget for this season, so if you’re on the same page, hopefully these posts will inspire you to pick a few key pieces that can be worn multiple ways.
