Oui Non with Le Tote

September 13, 2015

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)

A Downtown Stroll

July 2, 2015

DFT 2087
Oh baby, it’s hot outside…
With this absurdly warm weather, also comes the Redlands Bowl Summer Concert Series, a bi-weekly event where half of the town gathers to have a massive picnic and listen to a variety of performers. I love to fix up a gorgeous meal like bruschetta, a meat, cheese and olive plate, chilled pasta and a berry trifle, accompanied by a couple bottles of wine and some fantastic company. It’s one of those perfect summer evenings. I plan on attending several of these concerts this season, as the lineup is quite intriguing.

For this look, I definitely wanted to keep cool, but also add a couple pops of color with the help of my coral crossbody bag and ombre reflective sunnies. I think that’s what keeps black & white from being too serious in the summer, and I’m loving coral and orange-y tones right now.

Floral Midi Skirt and Ruffled Tank

June 24, 2015

_MG_0408
It’s only mid-June and this Southern California heat already has me longing for days spent poolside, with a nice, icy cocktail in my hand. Until my next vacation (Palm Springs in a few weeks!), where I can make that dream a reality, I will be attempting to bear this sweltering season in vented, flowy skirts and bare tanks. I love this particular skirt because it features virtually every bright, summery color, making it so fun to plan an outfit around. A couple of subtly shiny pieces of jewelry and a vintage handbag and I’m all set 🙂

White Pleated Maxi and Olive Jacket

June 19, 2015

DFT 2062

Good morning, lovelies! I’ve been working a lot lately, picking up extra shifts where I can, so my apologies for not posting as often as I ‘d like! 6 days a week behind a desk has me daydreaming of outfits and color palettes, and definitely perusing an online sale or two in my downtime at the office 😉
I was able to steal a couple hours away this past weekend for some “me” time, which I crave after dealing with angry patients all week! This time, shooting with the delightful Holli Zenko, I wanted to play around with a couple of very casual items and turn them up a notch with loads of layered gold jewelry. I hope you enjoy!
