Nude Tones

DFT- University of Redlands41

You may recognize this Pleione midi skirt from a recent post.. I decided to go more tone-on-tone this time, pairing it with nude heels and a slate blue and blush patterned crop top. The bag is one of my picks this round from Le Tote, the clothing & accessory subscription service. For more info on Le Tote, or to sign up, click here to get $25 off your first Tote. If you do sign up, I get a commission, but obviously I’m using the service because I like and recommend it, it’s totally up to you! 🙂

This is day two of my Instagram style challenge with Shannon from Layered by Cake Boutique. The idea is to #makeyourjeansjealous and I think this outfit does just that! I would totally wear this top and heels with jeans, but swapping them out for the colorblocked skirt lends a more polished, feminine vibe.

For more details, check our Instagram accounts here and here, there’s still time to enter and we are giving away some fantastic prizes, including shop credit and designer earrings!

Maxi in the Fields

DFT- Groves and Oak Glen29Holli (my lovely photographer) and I, were craving an outdoor adventure come photo shoot day. She remembered this old forest up in Oak Glen that she used to visit as a child, so we decided to make the drive and explore a bit. Unfortunately, it had recently been chopped down 🙁 but we stumbled upon a corn maze instead! It was a touch warm.. uhmm 95 degrees? So we didn’t quite make it through to the end. It was so nice to be in the serene surroundings, and even with the heat, the air seems so much more fresh out of the city.

Oui Non with Le Tote

DFT- Groves and Oak Glen02
I’ve started a new rental service called Le Tote, which I have to say I’m really liking so far! If ya don’t already know, Le Tote is a subscription service that allows you to add items to your “closet” and select 3 clothing and two accessories-type items to receive per shipment. Once you’ve gotten your use out of the goods, send everything back and choose the next set. If you’re interested in trying out the service, you’re welcome to use my link, Le Tote. You get $25 off your first month, you can cancel any time, and I get $15 for you signing up. Transparency is my thing, as I wouldn’t recommend a service I haven’t personally used and enjoyed. That being said, I really like the items I selected.. This flippy floral skirt was super fun to twirl around in. I also received a girly nude bag with gold hardware that I LOVE, jade faux-wrap dress (too big on me), olive midi skirt (could not for the life of me figure out what to pair with it), and this gorgeous gold chain and emerald beaded necklace. There were obviously some highs and lows in this set, (mostly highs), partially because I didn’t consult the size chart 😛 Either way, I’m greatly looking forward to my next shipment. I’ve been eyeing this black and white striped top and a couple of items from House of Harlow, which I will surely be photographing soon!DFT- Groves and Oak Glen06 DFT- Groves and Oak Glen05 DFT- Groves and Oak Glen11 DFT- Groves and Oak Glen09 DFT- Groves and Oak Glen03 DFT- Groves and Oak Glen12 DFT- Groves and Oak Glen01T-shirt / Best Society // Skirt / Noir (Le Tote) // Sandals / JcPenney (similar) // Necklace / Clement (Le Tote) // Crystal bracelet / The Crowned Crane // Cage bracelet / Nectar Clothing // Clutch / vintage / Sunglasses / Nasty Gal (similar)

Cali Cool Date Night

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.
