Hello, my loves!
Happy Wednesday. It really does feel like the middle of the week right now, because I’m sandwiched between weekends full of events! It’s kind of a new feeling for me, but I’m not mad at it. If you follow me on Insta, you probably already knew that I attended OC Fashion Week and I had a blast! I met up with some of the other members of the SoCal Blogger Babes group, and we watched a handful of local designers show off their latest collections. This weekend, I’ll be attending a restaurant opening in-town, Fashion Week OC at Fashion Island hosted by Simply, and visiting my local Nordstrom to check out their Fall Beauty Trend event! Whew! I’m far from a social butterfly, but I’m having so much fun traveling around Southern California, and honored to be included in the festivities!
Back to the outfit at hand, I finally found a fall transitional piece that incorporates one of my fave trends from summer, pompoms! This was actually my first foray in to trumpet sleeves, and I love that this trend is following us in to cooler months as well. Some pieces just FEEL fun, and this is definitely one of them. I paired it with a grey tank (a fall essential), some distressed denim complete with frayed hems, and these TDF heels! I wish they came in white, because I’d already be on that train, but I’m searching for a similar pair to rock all fall and winter long. I love this look because it’s current without being a slave to the trends, do you feel the same?

Maggy London Fit & Flare and Longing for Fall

September 9, 2017

Hello, hello, lovelies!
I know I’m going to say the thing that’s on every other southern Californian’s mind right now.. Can fall just get here already!? Every time I’m on Insta nowadays, I’m seeing all of my blogging friends breaking out their sweaters and boots, even some moto jackets in the mix.. Any idea how quickly I would drop to the ground going outside in multiple layers right now? It’s still only getting to the low 80’s when M and I are getting ready for sleep, and I’m simply over it.
Alright, enough complaining about the inevitable… Let’s talk about this gorgeous dress I’m wearing from Maggy London. Give me a dress that has a pleated skirt, and guaranteed, you will see me twirling like a 6 year old at least a couple times an hour. I just can’t help it! This one has incredible movement, and I’m loving the print. It’s small and refined enough to wear to work, but a fun mix of red, black and white than can easily translate to a dinner date or a meet-the-parents brunch. I’m often a fan of a more modest cut, and this one hits at the ever-flattering knee-length, with a nice V-neck to keep things interesting. I paired it with this fantastic rhinestone bib necklace I got in a Box of Style from last year, a vintage clutch, and some slip-on loafers. I’m still not totally sold on this style of shoe, and I thought they’d be way more comfy then they are, but maybe I just need to break these guys in a bit more.
What are your thoughts on the open-back shoe trend? A little weird or are you feelin’ it?

Starfish Project x Dressed for Time

September 6, 2017

things that keeps Dressed for Time going 😀

Hello, babes!
I’ve found a new jewelry company that I had to share with you for several reasons. First off, they are creating some gorgeous, versatile, and amazing quality pieces at super attainable prices. Second, they’re a brand that truly gives back. Starfish Project is bringing education, housing, employment and counseling to women and girls who are escaping the human trafficking trade in Asia. They’re a non-profit, so your dollars are going directly to helping these woman regain control of their lives. I’m proud to partner with Starfish Project to show you some of the amazing pieces they’ve created!
Above is the Julian Necklace, which is one of my fave year-round choices. I’m such a fan of metal-mixing right now. This one pairs brilliant gold, antique gold, and gunmetal, making it so easy to then change up your rings and bracelets too. This is one of those pieces that looks equally as good paired with a t-shirt or a blazer.

The Kerry Necklace is a gorgeous layered piece, perfect for pairing with busier prints. I love that the ivory and amber stone is going to look so pretty against the burgundy, scarlet, and persimmon tones of fall.

This aqua and gold beauty is the Holly Necklace, a piece that is truly unique because no crystal sold is like the others. This pendant catches the light so beautifully, it must be seen in person to fully appreciate.

Lastly, the Chloe necklace.. This beauty is unfortunately sold out, it was so popular, but I had to share it nonetheless. They have a similar style out right now, the Lauren, which also has a green stone and antique gold chain.

I truly enjoy working with companies that do good. Starfish Project is giving back in a way that’s more than just throwing money to a cause, they’re improving lives and providing women with valuable skills and security, which is such a beautiful thing.
