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!

Layered by Cake Shopping Party

August 31, 2015

Last week, I had the pleasure of co-hosting a shopping event at the charming boutique, Layered by Cake. Shannon, the gracious and always impeccably-styled owner, helped me welcome some of my nearest and dearest friends for a late afternoon of browsing, sipping, indulging (cake pops are awesome!), and, of course, learning some amazing style tips.

I’m pretty obsessed with this shop right now, and I love that Shannon is constantly updating her inventory to not only bring in new trends and fresh styles, but also based on the feedback that she encourages from all of her customers.
Shannon is offering a FREE Wardrobe Refresh Workshop for those in the Inland Empire area on Saturday, September 5th starting at 11. I missed her last one, so I will definitely be attending next weekend!
If you can’t make it, I still highly encourage you to subscribe to her email list. She frequently sends out styling guides, emails covering the latest wearable trends and new stuff she’s bringing in to the shop, and her super helpful and informative blog posts. A few of my favorites so far… How to Style a White Tee, Staying Stylish in the Heat, and A Week Without Jeans.
She’s also been kind enough to offer up to my readers 10% off purchases on her website, Layered by Cake, using the code VIP10.

Disclaimer: The two blouses I’ve wearing above were sold to me at a discount in exchange for this feature and future posts. All thoughts on the company/products mentioned are my own. I would absolutely frequent this store regardless of receiving free or discounted items and have truly been enjoying all of my purchases thus far.

Maxi at the Mansion

August 30, 2015

DFT- Kimberly Step Winners05I’ll be honest, it’s been a little while since I rented something from Rent the Runway that I loved as much as this maxi dress from BCBGMAXAZRIA. The printed lace detail is just gorgeous, it fits like a dream (although a smidgen too long for the heels that I wore), and it can really be dressed up or down.

When brainstorming a location to shoot this beauty, my photographer, Holli, instantly thought of the Kimberly Crest mansion. We’d both been to swanky events hosted there, and every one has been memorable due to the fantastic scenery. This place holds so much history and drama and is truly at it’s prime around sunset.

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.
