You can’t go wrong with stripes and sailboats. Sprinkle some denim in and you have timeless look. I paired mine with lace up sandals and a leather jacket to give it a bit more edge. This is a great quick outfit idea for running around on a Saturday or a Sunday brunch. It gives you that balance of put together without looking like you tried.

On another note, denim is a staple of my wardrobe that I absolutely love. I have been getting a lot of use out of mine in this mild Bay Area weather. You can dress it up or down and these Levis are some of my new favorites. I have been cruising the internet for a vintage pair for quite some time. I ended up finding mine at a Goodwill in the men’s section. I always love a good treasure hunt, especially when it involves clothes. Below, I have included some links if your looking for that perfect pair of worn in denim. Are you getting good use out of your denim this summer?

Summer always makes me think of sundresses and whats better then adding in some floral prints. This brings me to my summer flowers obsession. Sundresses can make anyone feel feminine and beautiful. I probably don’t wear them as much as my husband would like, but today i’m bringing you a layering option when the weather is in-between. I feel layering is key here in the bay area. In the morning its cooler, by the mid afternoon the sun can be beating down and at 5 o’clock you probably need a jacket. I paired my favorite sundress with a loose hoodie and jean jacket. Keeping in the summer weather, I added in my favorite sandal slides. How are you wearing your sundresses this summer?

P.S. How incredible are these murals! The Mission in San Francisco is full of them. If your in the area be sure to check them out along with the fabulous Mexican food.

I finally took the plunge and bought a good pair of flare jeans. I absolutely fell in love with these from Paige Denim. I’m a little behind on this trend, but it is probably because I swore I would never like another pair enough to purchase. That was my younger self-talking of course. My tune has definitely changed. This pair is high waisted with a dark wash making them so flattering and hug in all the right places. The best part about them is being a shortie at 5’3″ I usually need my pants altered and these are the perfect length with a heel. They make your legs look longer and who doesn’t love that.

To add to this spring vibe, I styled mine with a white crocheted top, nude snakeskin heels and a green leather bucket bag. I gave my girly look a little edge by adding a suede choker. I always love mixing feminine pieces with more edgy jewelry. Are you loving the flare jeans trend as well?

Happy fashion Friday!!

It’s getting warmer outside! That means more skirts and shorts are coming out to play. This maroon mini is super comfortable and can be easily dressed up or down. This outfit has that athleisure feel to it and was perfect for walking around in the city. Sporty chic all the way. How are you styling your favorite mini skirts as the temperate heats up?

p.s.  I also found this beautiful blue door I couldn’t pass without stopping to admire it.

I love me some distressed denim, along with some denim on denim action. You can totally pull this off by mixing different washes on top and bottom.

I added a western belt, my favorite booties and boyfriend watch to complete this look. The honey comb sweater adds some texture without over powering the stars of the show, the denim of course. Whats your favorite way to style your distressed denim?
