Cali Cool Date Night

September 9, 2015

DSC_0062It’s difficult sometimes to make jeans and heels seem fresh for a date, but I say it’s all in the details. These D’orsay pumps have this sexy little curvature to them that I love. Cuffing the jeans (a style tip I picked up from Shannon at Layered by Cake Boutique) allows more skin to peek out to highlight the footwear (also helpful in this sweltering heat, they act as vents when you’re wearing skinny jeans haha!) Another fun detail from this look is the one-shouldered top from the quarterly blouse subscription service, Elizabeth & Clarke. It’s a flirty element that doesn’t leave you feeling too bare. I topped it all off with a very summery and fun scenic clutch that holds just the essentials.. cell phone, compact mirror, lipstick, gum, eyeliner, perfume vial, and credit cards/ID.

Graphic Nature

September 8, 2015

DSC_0033Wait, already?! The holiday weekend is almost over?! Rude. I wanted at least one more day to clean and get our house in order. Mark and I are planning on having a little party with all of our friends (so I guess a big party, ha!) and I’d love for everything to be spotless so there’s less to stress over.
I think it’s important, as a host, to not worry about tidying the day of a party. It helps set a relaxed, welcome vibe and allows everyone to focus on having a good time… and the awesome food and drinks, of course! I’m planning a seaside/nautical theme for our party this year and have already come across some great decorations for the table and found the cutest drink dispenser with a chalkboard sign attached.
I really enjoyed the polished yet totally laid-back vibe of this look. The bucket bag carries everything I could need and is comfortable to carry. These lace-up flats are incredibly comfortable, and the silk blouse is breezy and light for these still 100+ days.

Roses and Colorblocking

September 1, 2015

DSC_0095 Another lovely, yet hottt weekend in southern California. All told, I feel like this summer still has not been as hot as recent summers past. I better get my butt in a pool before it ends though! Definitely on the list, and I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet. I had a chance in Palm Springs but those Bloody Mary’s poolside just sounded like a better idea at the time.
I’ve started shooting with a new photographer, and I quite enjoy our work! It’s great to meet young female entrepreneurs in my area. I love that we can support each other and help one another grow our businesses. Plus, she’s funny, so that’s always a big plus 😀
I’m going to start pretty soon working 6 days a week until the end of the year, so it is going to be a struggle to keep up with posting, but I so enjoy shooting for and writing them, so I’m happy to find a balance!

Polka Dot Midi Dress

August 23, 2015

DFT Library Picks40Another fun piece from the I Heart Ronson line at JcPenney!
When it’s as hot as it has been in, I long for lightweight printed dresses and bare sandals (not to mention, my hair off of my neck!) to keep me cool. I found this dress recently on JcPenney’s website and knew I would love it for running around town, although with a couple of tweaks, I could totally wear it to work.
