For the sake of dressing like a pirate, err wait was it Harry Potter? Oh crap I think she actually called me Johnny Depp the pirate ☠️ 🏴 (but hey, he’s hot so I’ll take it  – am I right?!😂🔥).  But what I think my girlfriend who knows no fashion was referring to was my velvet duster, to which she may not have deemed a “spring/summer” piece. But alas, we know I don’t play by the rules! Especially when living in SF and June gloom is in full [60 degree] effect.

Velvet was huge this year and still is only for spring I’m definitely seeing a move toward pastel colored and crushed velvets. I’ll be wearing my pirate-like duster coat any day of the year because it’s just the right layering piece for SF weather year-round. Plus it brings a 🆒-factor to any edgier look or night look. For spring, I wanted to bring the coat down to a more boho state of mind. These soft suede FRAME denim pants are my fav because they can be paired with a lace/eyelet top for a softer feminine style or with a band tee and some dark velvet for this rocker boho vibe! 👇😎🤘

But, incase your not an SF girl, or you just rather oggle some more spring/summer appropriate velvet pieces – I’ve gathered all the best ones below!

In fact, one of my favorite combos right now, (inspired by my trip to LA last weekend), is a pink/orange crush velvet cami and some light wash denim. Woo! 👌👌👌✨✨✨

Also a few favorite shoes and accessories because I want them all – toooo fun!!

Sometimes a wave of inspiration rushes over me and it takes 12 seconds to pick out an outfit (other times I’ll take 1 hour, changing 22 times…but we won’t talk about those rn 😬). But this one just fell into place. 💥👕👖

The look, inspired by my new fav tee 👉  this Click shirt from MONOGRAM (btw you seriously need to check them out, my new favoriteeeeeeee graphic tee shop 🆒) transpired into a softer palette. The way the light reflects of the satin fabric of my shiny new Gestuz trousers and gold disk earrings gave way to a dreamy, elevated, yet flashy and kinda kitschy 70’s state of mind. 😌 Or maybe that was just the sexy bare legs of the women on my tee, about to kill it on the dance floor. ✨🕺✨

And then to come up on this blue & white ally in the Mission?! Winning. 💯 A quick 15 minute shoot after work never felt so goooood. 🙌🏼📸 Spring pastels and creamy whites, a glimpse of gold and a touch of seduction has me lifted into a disco daydream. ✨✨☁️✨☁️✨✨

In my crazed world of juggling 1898239 different things a day, I look at these images, this moment, and find peace. A moment of clarity and synergy that was so needed. 🌀 I feel balanced. The Click shirt made it click! ✔️😜

I’m calling this my Carrie Bradshaw walk of shame look aka the best way to wear an oversized button up….with a belt. I loveeee a good crisp oversized white button up. Grab it from that one night stand or your closet cause let’s be real, I didn’t steal it from my BF either 🤣😜 – it’s a wardrobe staple).
