There is nothing I love more than a fun, textured boot that gives your typical all denim look an added personality. Free People always brings top notch character out in each piece they have. This bootie is nothing short of amazing. It is unbelievably comfortable and has the cutest snaps that you can leave buttoned up or loose to show a little bit of skin. They would also pair great with cozy socks peeking now that the temps are dropping. You can bet I will be rocking these boots all year from cozy sweaters and denim to short shorts and skirts in the summer time.

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 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?

Overalls

Overalls | Vivian and Violet

Overalls could be one of the first words that comes to mind when thinking comfortable, lazy and a day of painting. They usually are not the word that comes to mind when thinking chic, fashionable and bold statement. Well, think again! Overalls are still having their moment in the spot light and they are even better than before.

I fell in love with these from Madewell. The zippered front and tapered legs had me snapping a selfie in the dressing room to my besties. Their denim is always top notch and since i’m a shorty, I loved that I didn’t have to alter them. Have you took a trip down memory lane and snagged a pair of your own??
