Dark Florals & Jord Wood Watch Giveaway

August 15, 2017

Hello, loves!
I seriously can not get over how quickly this year has gone by! Admittedly, the first couple months of 2017 were a little blurry for Mark and I, with two family members passing away and a flood in our front room, but even still, I feel like it was April just yesterday! Another month of summer, and fall will already be upon us.
Planning ahead a bit, I’m loving the idea of bringing florals in to fall. Let’s be honest, I could wear them all year round, but some of the neon and pastel florals don’t really translate well into colder weather. I’ve found that sticking to prints that have either a dark background (grey, navy, black), or ones that have autumnal-themed flowers (red, plum, yellow, orange), can give a piece a lot more versatility in terms of being able to wear it seamlessly throughout the year. I love pairing florals with more substantial jewelry pieces, like a statement necklace, or an oversized watch. The rose gold trim and purpleheart links of this Jord watch make it the perfect transition piece into fall and winter.
I’ve been a longtime fan of Jord, and when they reached out and offered to hold a giveaway for my readers and followers, I was all about it! I think the wooden watches are really cool, and I especially love the uniqueness of the one I picked out. Details of the giveaway are at the bottom of this post 😀

Latest Stitch Fix Review & Giveaway!

June 16, 2017

Hello, loves!
This month’s Stitch Fix review is extra special because I’ve partnered with them for a giveaway! More to come after all of the details of my most recent fix, and spoiler alert, it was a GOOD one 😀

Top & Jeans (and necklace from a previous fix) / Stitch Fix // Bracelet / Kyle Chan Design // Mules / Abound at Nordstrom Rack // Jacket / Gap // Sunnies / Amazon // Crossbody bag / Forever 21
My stylist thought I would love this pair of colored denim.. And she was right! They fit well and actually pair really nicely with solids and print tops. I didn’t notice they are “cropped” which for this pair means just a touch above my ankle. I’ve had this issue before with cropped pairs, that it doesn’t look intentional, so I cuffed these up a bit.
The top is definitely up my alley as well, combining some of my favorite things… Floral print, polka dots and lace! It was tiny bit snug around my hips, but nothing too uncomfortable to stop me from wearing it.
Jeans, $78 and top, $48, kept.

Cardigan & jeans / Stitch Fix // Wedges / JustFab (similar) // Blouse / Daniel Rainn at Nordstrom Rack
See, these jeans pair well with so many things! I was super excited to pull out this embroidered, dolman-sleeve cardigan, right up until I noticed the long sleeves, eek! It’s 96 degrees outside right now, so I will have to reserve this piece for cooler nights or bring it back out around fall. Still a keeper though, because it’s just so cute!
Cardigan, $58, kept.

Kimono / Stitch Fix // T-shirt / Aerie // Jeans & bag / Old Navy // Wedges / JustFab // Necklace / Sweet Lola // Sunnies / YHF Los Angeles from the Box of Style
A $28 light layering piece in a cute print, come on! This kimono I knew I was definitely going to keep. I could wear it over a black tank dress, with a black tee and jeans, or even over my swimsuit. Such an easy “third-piece” item.
Kimono, $28, kept.

Top / Stitch Fix // Jeans / Old Navy // Necklace / eBay // Flats / Sole Society (similar)
Last but not least, this elevated basic grey top. It does look kind of plain from the front, so I added a lovely (and sparkly!) statement necklace to jazz it up a bit. I love the knotted detail on the back and can see myself pairing it with a little lacy bralette peeking out as summer progresses, or when fall comes around again, a vivid print scarf.
Top, $38, kept.

All in all, I kept… Everything!
I was super happy with this fix.. From the fit of the items, to how well they suit my clothing personality, and the price points were very reasonable for me.

CONTEST ENDED!! Now on to the fun stuff! I’ve partnered with Stitch Fix to offer one lucky winner a $50 gift card towards a fix! Keep it for yourself or give it to someone as a gift, although you know what I would say! To enter, you just need to fill out a Style Profile and then come back here to comment “done!” That’s it! The best part is, all existing Stitch Fix members will be automatically entered to win, as long as they comment “done” below! We will be checking to make sure that a profile has been filled out, so if you did it a while ago, make sure to edit to fit your current preferences. This contest will run until 6/25/17 at 5PM PST and the winner will be chosen at random and announced via email shortly after. Good luck, ladies!

Layering a Midi Dress and a Giveaway!

October 15, 2016

Hello, loves!
Two things I’m excited about in this post.. Actually, three, now that I think about it! First off, it’s finally temperature-appropriate to start layering again! I’m totally in to throwing a vest or sweater over a midi dress. Print mixing could get tricky here, so I prefer to keep the pieces basic and then accessorize with something more colorful, like jewelry or a great scarf. Second, I’m so in love with these new stone pieces from Ronnie M Jewelry. The long tassel necklace and wrap bracelet are handmade by an awesome lady entrepreneur, Veronica. She’s one of those women who is so proud and excited about what she creates, her enthusiasm for the line is infectious. Her website is now live, and I’m obsessed with all of the new fall-perfect goodies.
Last but not least, I’m excited to share a giveaway that’s currently going on Instagram. I’ve partnered with I Shop Simply to give away store credit to their expansive online boutique! I love this site because the inventory is constantly being updated with of-the-moment dresses, skirts, and tops, along with basics like tanks and tees at AMAZING prices. This midi dress, still available on the site, is only $27, and made of the softest stretch fabric. So flattering and versatile, definitely a win-win in my book! I’d also pair it with a plaid scarf and sneakers or a sparkly statement necklace and pumps. On top of that, I Shop Simply is offering 10% off to all of my readers with the code “dressedfortime” at checkout.

The contest ends Monday night, so be sure to head on over and enter for your chance to win 😀

Dress / I Shop Simply // Vest / Elizabeth & Clarke // Heels / Mossimo // Bracelet and Necklace c/o Ronnie M Jewelry // Bag / Loeffler Randall // Sunnies / Amazon

Colorful Casual Summer Look

March 9, 2016

Hello loves!
I hope everyone is doing well. I’m still deep in my sickness, Mark and I both! We’ve basically been pretty useless around the house, except for the bare minimum to keep things going, making it to work, etc. I’m very much hoping to have it be gone by this weekend. We have the Natural Products Expo West coming up, and I wouldn’t miss it for much. It’s where I learn about all sorts of new products in the “natural” world, from makeup and skincare to protein bars and pasta sauce, and everything in between. This will be my first time attending as media, which is also super exciting!
My outfit here features even more cute items from BohoCheri, this colorful kimono and graphic bag. I’m obsessed with this tote bag that can come with me anywhere from a date to shopping to the farmer’s market. I love that the pattern is interesting and attention-grabbing yet can go with almost any outfit I pair it with.
