My Summer Outerwear: The 90’s Cardigan

Day Style

From traveling around Europe this summer and seeing it with my own eyes, to the new Haim single, to this look I creepily snapped from Solange’s Insta-story (my major style icon) I have in fact confirmed the rumors are true…the newest trend is all red all the time. 🔻🔺🔻🔺🔻🔺🔻🔺

This can be a seriously intimidating look, only meant for the fiercest of women; but I don’t let that intimidate me, I let it empower me. 💥👊🏼 Fuck YES I can wear all red. Fuck YES I’ll make some heads turn. And fuck YES I will feel like a boss, and that is most definitely what matter most. 👌🏼⚡️👌🏼

Think of it like, wearing a sexy new piece of lingerie when you’re going to sleep with someone for the first time. 😻🙈 Chances are they’re going to undo it and toss it aside before they even see it! So why do we wear it? Sheer bold confidence. 🔥 The all red trend is my outer lingerie. Same purpose, more visibility. 😏😎💃🏼💃🏼✨

Mix & match with these red bottoms:

(…And yes, I don’t stop there). Add some red shoes and accessories to finish off the look:

Getting Festival Ready with Levi’s

Posted on August 1, 2017

I'm SO excited to announce that I'll be hosting the first of Levi's Summer Fridays series! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😄 Each Friday, for the next 3 weeks, Levi's Emeryville will be throwing an evening of drinks, denim and dancing; all while getting some rad customizations for your denim pieces. ✔️👖🍺🎶

So naturally, I'M THERE! (but literally) 🤣😝

From distressing to patchwork, embroidery and repair, the Tailor Shop will make sure you're ready for anything in a one-of-a-kind look. 👌🏼🆒 This Friday (8/6), get festival-ready with me and learn how to add fun patches to your favorite pair of jeans or denim jacket for a completely original festival outfit. Honestly, the ~~world~~ Tailor Shop is your oyster and you can make your wildest denim dreams come true. 🙌🏼✨👖☺️

Trust me, I just went there last night for my first custom Levi's experience and left the store BEAMING, all my dreams DEF came true. Who knew all of that was possible?! Not me! Even though I wear Levi's 5/7 days a week, I've never had any experience using their Tailor shop, and (I'll admit) didn't even fully understand it's capabilities. 😬😳 I can't unveil my custom design yet, but scroll down for a sneak peak (and check out my Insta-story for some BTS footie while it lasts)! 💯

So, come join me this Friday in-store, as I show my styling and and customizing processes for my all original festival look. 🙏🏼😛 The event runs from 5-9pm (but mama's gotta workkk), so I'll be there at 6pm for the first customization workshop. Second workshop is at 8pm, but I'll be at available all night to help you decide on customizations or answer any styling questions you might have! 🙂🤗

Drinks, Denim, DJ, Dancing… I mean that's ALL the best D words! 😜😎 Wayyyy too much fun to pass up. (RSVP here) 🎶🥂👖✨🍸👯

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: The Fall Edit

Posted on July 28, 2017

^ Click the product directly to shop ^

I know “basics” are one of the most popular thing to shop at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, but aside from my favorite bra in the entire world, I like to splurge a bit during sales, not buy basics. It’s time to get some solid new pieces to make sure I’m fall ready… I can get a t-shirt tomorrow. 😉😝

For me, fall is about three things: new pants, new coats and new soft sweaters!!!!

Shop my top picks for Anniversary Sale denim:

Even though winter isn’t here yet, the lifespan of my light denim jacket is soon to be short lived. Time to start swapping for some longer, cozier coats! Quite literally, I uncover all my statement coats and pack-up the lightweight crops – not enough room in that closet, ya feel me?!

Shop my favorite cozy coats and sweaters:

Shop bombers, leather, denim galore:

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: The Shoe Edit

^ Click to shop my shoe picks directly ^

Each year when the The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale comes around, one thing is on my mind: shoes. As the seasons are about to turn, it’s a great time to stock up on boots for fall, get your last pair of cute SS17 slides in, and grab a few much needed basics while you’re at it. 😄

Shop my favorite sneakers (slash really favorite shoe because sneakers are all I really wear 👟):

Shop the best loafers and flats 👞:

Shop fall boots 👢:

Don’t forget, you can always check up on ALL my NSale favorites under the “SHOP” link on my navigation bar.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: The BIG Edit + Shopping Tips

Posted on July 21, 2017

I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it was already Nsale time again! 👀😲Has it really already been a YEAR?! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is probably the biggest online retail sale of the year, and I plan to take full advantage. 😈

I have to say though, last year I was a bit underwhelmed by the sale (especially for all that hype 🙄). I think it was partly because product sells SO fast, that if you’re not on it at the V beginning it’s slim pickings! 😬 However, I’ve learned they also restock frequently so if there is a product you really want (like this 🙋🏼), check back daily to see if new sizes have been added! 🔜🛍🛒✔️ Not to mention, I’ve noticed that Nordstrom has majorly stepped up their game in the last year! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

So, between my better understanding of the sale and a round of applause for the Nordstrom buyer, this year I’m swoooooning over WAY too many items. 😍👚👖👢👟👞👗❤️

Lot’s of which are from some of my favorite ~~too expensive for me to typically shop at~~ brands like: Rag & Bone, FRAME Denim, Vince, and Levi’s. I’m only the most sad to report, that their sunglasses section is quite small. 😒

Here are my TOP PICKS from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – hence the “BIG EDIT.” 🤑 Today is just day 1 and over the course of the next week you can expect posts on Fall Favorites and (my favorite) the Shoe Edit. ✨👟✨

Please continue to check back because I will constantly be updating these posts with in-stock items. Also you can always find alllll my most recent NSale top picks under my “Shop” link in the navigation!!

All the Best Aviators for Summer

Posted on July 17, 2017

I haven’t bought a pair of aviators in years, like probably almost 10 haha, but they’ve definitely made a comeback because now it’s allllll I find myself adding to the cart!🤗🕶🛍 Especially right now for summer 🌞 …maybe it’s because more more more of the beach and lakeside moments, all the rosé sipping or that warm California retro vibe I love so much.🙌⛱🌅 But aviators are def making a place for themselves in my top 3 sunglasses choice with every outfit, and they aren’t going anywhere! 😎👍

All the best under $20 (mostly for show, and usually my go-to for colored lenses 🙃 ):

Aviators under $100 (so you don’t break the bank or sacrifice the quality ☺️ ):

Hey big spender ($200-$400 but mannnn will they look 10x good when you put them on 🤑 ):

Retro Tees & Miniskirts

Posted on July 13, 2017

Heyyylooo summer! 👋🏼☀️ (and no, I’m not talking about the fact you can see my undies in that shot 🙊 #DGAF). What I mean to say is, this tee & mini skirt combo is officially my go-to pairing this season. What’s not to love? I always love a good graphic tee and quite frankly I’m jazzed about the revival of the mini skirt. 🌟🆒🌟 Now I can relive the glory days of middle school and shopping at Abercrombie and Fitch. 🤣🤣

Totally seeing these “slogan tees” trending right now with ’70s motifs, empowering or political statements and romantic attainable French phrases. ❤️ Wear them with high waisted denim or my favorite, the denim mini 👍🏼💯 (tennis court not included). 😛😎

You can shop my outfit at the end of this post or mix & match your favs below! 👇😍👇

Awesome minis (not from Ambercrombie 😜):
