Color block Sweater and Cold Weather

Holy moly! I get so bad at blogging sometimes... I'm cringing because I haven't posted in like two weeks. I'M SORRY ALRIGHT?! It is officially fall where I live. We have some days where it is a little warm, but the air is definitely crisp. So I purchased a new sweater for fall and it is super affordable!!

Sweater Weather

Hello everyone! Breaking news: It is finally sweater weather in California.*Cue the song Sweater Weather by the Neighborhood* I am extremely happy that it has been rainy and cold since last week. All those coats and sweaters I have stockpiled can now come out to be worn excessively.

Pumpkin Patch Play

I finally had a little time to take a break from studying and work to go to the pumpkin patch. We have been going to this pumpkin patch since I was around three. Since I was a little late in the game, there were not many pumpkins. To be honest, I really just went for the pics. You know you all do it too...

Trendy Tuesday: Metallic Midi

With fall approaching quickly, much quicker in other places, it's time to get ready for the new seasonal trends. One that is a little more "street style", is the metallic pleated midi skirt. Although they are a little scarce to find for under $100 at the moment, it is definitely worth the hunt.

Trendy Tuesday: Graphic Sweaters

Give me Space sweatshirt- Reformation

With the crisp fall air rolling in day by day, it gets monotonous to wear a plain knit sweater all the time. It gets hard to change up the fall look when all you own are fifty white sweaters because they are your favorite. A big trend for the fall is to throw on a quirky graphic sweater or sweatshirt!

I Got Stripes

Like the famous Johnny Cash song goes, I got stripes. And hey look, I'm in front of a jail too. These pants may or may not slightly resemble jail stripes, but they are sure comfy! Paired with the right thing, striped pants can look cool and they elongate your legs too!

Cobalt Culottes

Cheers to the weekend! Time for a little relaxation, and me time. What better way to do that than throw on a cute outfit and head out to explore and get some lunch. While in San Juan Batista, it is an absolute must to go to Jardin's. It is a beautiful garden location to eat some great Mexican food. They have mini chimichanga's, that are so good. I am a sucker for some good lunch and a walk around town on a nice day!

Casual Cool

Hello, I am back from the dead! Computer problems solved, aka my computer is dead and I had to buy a new one. Nevertheless, I am back and ready to be a mean blogging machine. Today is a very laid back transitional fall outfit! If it is still somewhat warm where you live, this is a nice outfit to wear when it isn't too hot, but still a little cold.

Summertime Sadness

Hello everyone! I just wanted to do a quick message on here and say that I was going to do a post on Saturday, but my laptop died Friday night. So, I have been unable to get it to come back on and I am going to have to buy a new one. Bloggers out there will know that our lives are on our computers. Thankfully, I backup my hard drive. Of course this has to happen 3 days before school starts, and I have an online class *sigh*. Also found that someone had hit my car and didn't let me know. I have to just keep a positive attitude and not let these issues get me down.

I will have a post up as soon as possible, sorry for the inconvenience :( Trying to write from my phone is not as easy as my computer.

For now, here is a quick outfit I wore to run errands and go out to lunch. I needed something to cheer me up and I needed to get a new computer (thanks for the help Mom and Dad) It was a pretty California day, warm outside, with a nice ocean breeze. A perfect day by my standards, hopefully you are having a great week so far!

Trendy Tuesday: Lace up

Blogger Haley Madison in Avalon Bodysuit

Whether it is a lace up bodysuit, top, shorts, or pants; lace up clothing is so in for summer/fall. The one place that has made it a hot commodity was the Reformation. They started with the Avalon Bodysuit, then moved to dresses, mini and midi, and even little crop tops. They really got the trend before it even was one! I love what the Reformation does with their clothes being sustainable and taken from big warehouses that would have otherwise thrown the fabric away. They take these fabrics and make clothes from them to eliminate waste. Totally cool and good for the environment, but not everyone can afford the prices for these gorgeous pieces. Luckily more stores have started to re-create these pieces at a more affordable price. Here are some of the many celebs and bloggers wearing the Reformation Avalon Bodysuit to give you inspo, and links to all these lace up cuties. P.s. Haley Madison is my total girl crush/blogger crush/everything crush, I love her free spirit and just everything about her so check her out!

In the Garden

Happy Monday y'all! Today I wanted to show you how I styled some of the pieces from the Box of Style. I am wearing the scarf and the purse from the box in this minimalistic outfit with a fun pop.

Rachel Zoe Box of Style: review

Hi there! Today I wanted to do a review of the Box of Style by the Zoe report. This box is basically really good products that total around $300, but for the price of $100 a month.

I've done a couple different types of boxes, like Popsugar which is really similar, and Stitch Fix which is clothing items. I love that this box is a nice mix of designer goods and beauty products. I didn't want to do a review about this until I tried every product. First I will talk about the Cambridge satchel company bag, since it was the shining star in the box.

Flea Market Style

Long time no post! Hi everyone... Sorry I'm a horrible blogger sometimes. I've been a busy bee planning outfits and maybe even a possible video look book!

Anyways happy Sunday, I got up and went to the local flea market we have and it was sooooo muggy. It felt like Florida instead of California. So I was a little hot in this outfit, but it was just bearable enough.

New Classic

Happy hump day everyone! It has been beautiful weather here in nor cal. I love being able to wear the same outfit all day and not have to switch because the weather can't make up its mind (much like me when I am trying to choose an outfit in the first place!) Today the weather is 73 degrees but humid, so it felt like 75. I love when it is warm, but still a nice ocean breeze.

Bad-ass Boots

As you all know, recently I did a post on fringe and how trendy it is. I love shoes and I am not a big fan on spending $100 or more on shoes, but these boots are totally bad ass. The fact that they are also comfortable makes them all the more worth it.

Paint it Black

The June gloom we have every other day in California can make it hard for me to pick an outfit out with it being warm one day and freezing the next. Typically I like to wear a little more color when it's spring/summer, but with the gloom I decided to do all black and break it up with some brown. I also played with some texture in this look. My top has small textured dots, and my jeans are leather coated. I must say that I am definitely hooked on Paige denim. There are a variety of styles, lengths and colors. I guarantee you will find a pair you will wear over and over again.

Trendy Tuesday: Funky Fringe

Reformation 'Naya' Skirt

With the 70s trend coming back full steam, fringe is a must have piece in your wardrobe. I've been searching high and low for the perfect fringe and suede jacket, but I have still not found one. So, instead I will lust over these pieces I have spotted on various websites.

Alpine Adventure

I have never really been into ponchos. Mainly because I had never tried one on that I liked and thought looked flattering. If you are having the same problem, look no further. This Love Stitch Anya poncho is amaaaaazing. It also comes in two different colors, this spring-y one I am wearing and a fall looking one with reds. It is really easy to throw on with a plain shirt and it keeps you warm.

Blissful days

I have always said that if I didn't like dressing up so much, I would probably be a recluse and wear sweatpants all day. Luckily they made cute but comfy harem pants, palazzo pants, and jeggings. Just recently I got these super cute harem style pants from Bliss Boutique. Luckily, they are going to be putting up an online site very soon at bebeautifulinbliss.com. You will now be able to buy some of the cute things that I wear too!

Keep it Simple

As I have gotten older, I find myself dressing more minimalistic and classic. I am all about buying classic pieces and pairing them with bolder pieces or simple too. With this outfit I paired a simple white collared shirt and dark denim. Throwing this beautiful Lovestitch cardigan over it added a slightly different look to this classic outfit.

Trendy Tuesday: Designer Jeans you can DIY

Anthropologie Jeans

Christopher Kane Jeans

Dolce and Gabbana Jeans

Paige Denim


Preserve Jeans

I am majorly loving jeans with embellishments, embroidery, and even paint! If I had the money I would totally just buy one of these beautiful pairs of jeans. Luckily, if you are a bargain lover like me, you can buy a pair of inexpensive jeans at H&M, forever 21, or even thrift stores. Find a pair that fits really well! You can do any of these looks on skinny, boyfriend, flared, whatever floats your boat. This next weekend I'm going to go out and buy a couple pairs so I can paint cherry blossoms like the Preserve jeans pictured above. Blake Lively wore the cherry blossom jeans and it was the perfectly put-together outfit for spring!
I also want to try embellishing jeans with jewels, and hope that I can get them to look just as good as the designer jeans. I think bejeweling your jeans give them a fancier look and you can just throw them on.
Finally, if you don't want to go out and buy a new pair because you are on a budget, look through your denim drawer and see if their are any pairs that may be a little too beat up, you can patch them up! You can purchase scraps of cloth at JO ANN craft store, rummage sales, and thrift stores and patch up those holes in your jeans and make them trendy all over again.

Hopefully this will give you some inspiration to do a DIY in the near future.

Frolicking in Fringe

The first weekend of Coachella may be wrapping up, now onto weekend 2. There are also so many more festivals coming up. I got this kimono a couple years ago and I just love the embroidering along the front. For this festival look I did white on white, which has become something I love pairing together. This is one of my favorite dresses because it is light and feminine. I wore this dress last year to the One Direction concert at the Rose bowl when it was 100+ degrees.

Bad to the Bone

So right before I went on spring break I picked up this amazing biker jacket vest at Target! It was $30 and it is perfect for every season! Especially when it is warmer and you still want to wear your leather jacket, but you need to be cool enough. The solution is this vest! It is made from a nice jersey material and it is a charcoal grey color. I've worn it with just a plain long sleeve under it and it looks great, but for this outfit I paired it with a mock neck sweater tank.

Sound of Music

The hills are definitely alive with the sound of music. Since it is music festival season, picking out the right outfit is a must. This sweater is perfect for a concert because it is easy to throw on over just about anything and looks put together. It's also airy and a perfect cover up for the pool too.

Recently I have been searching for the perfect statement necklace that had some color in it. And when it's spring and summer I love to incorporate boho pieces in my wardrobe. I got this perfect necklace that has multi-colored strings on it. Since I hardly ever wear color, this necklace is the nice pop of color that I need. You can get this amazing necklace at Bliss Boutique. Check out their instagram @Bliss_Boutique to see more amazing pieces.

I kept this look pretty simple with a LBD and black booties to bring it all together. And of course I am wearing my cat eye sunnies that I always wear because they are perfect.

Hopefully this has given you some inspo for festivals, events, lunch, or even shopping!

Desert Flower

We all know we are going to see all the Coachella posts on insta. Sadly I have never been to Coachella, or any music festival for that matter. I always like to imagine what outfits I would wear for events like this. Since it's usually going to be hot, wearing something light and breezy will make you feel more comfortable.

Another must for musical festivals are fun sunnies. Heart shaped are cute and girly, floral cat eyes are a little edgy, and palm tree sunnies just scream festival. The last must is a camera, or two maybe. When you go on cool adventures always make sure to take tons of pictures, especially if you have a cute outfit on.

For this look I have paired a red floral dress and some pebbled Acne boots. Instead of a flower crown, I think wearing a blingy headband can add some fanciness to an outfit. Also wearing a fanny pack can be easier to help ensure you have all your essentials right where they need to be.
