It’s the first day of Fall, and I am finally starting to feel excited about Fall fashion and the upcoming holidays.
I ‘ve been MIA from my blog the past 2 months for a couple of reasons:
Summer
Cold Shoulder Maxi
While I was in LA for the Fourth of July weekend, I packed this leg-exposing maxi dress I received courtesy of Tobi. I wore it while checking out the festival stalls in near Huntington Beach, but I will admit I was not wearing these Manolo Blahnik heels.
Mint Condition
For the holiday weekend, Armando and I decided to take a road trip down to LA. We wanted to visit Disneyland for our anniversary and see some sights in the area like the pier in Santa Monica.
Summer Solstice
Summer is officially here and so is the heat. We’ve been experiencing a lot of sun in the Bay Area and I am so excited to be able to wear the summer dresses I’ve stockpiled throughout the year.
Full Bloom
Pink Cardigan NY&Co | Floral A-Line Dress Vince Camuto via LE TOTE | Orange Bow Leather Belt Kate Spade | Say Yes Hello Sunshine Necklace Kate Spade (here) | Cedar Street Cliff Grey Maise Satchel Kate Spade | Navy Peep-toe Patent Heels Jimmy Choo via The Real Real | We may finally be experiencing Fall weather in the Bay Area, but I am not quite ready to stop wearing florals just yet. This might be one of the biggest floral prints I’ve ever worn on the blog, and I loved it! So much so, I just had to keep this dress. I’ve shared plenty of pieces I’ve received from Le Tote, but I rarely decide to purchase something. My last purchase was my Kut from the Kloth jean jacket, and that easily has become a wardrobe staple.
This dress hit all the right notes for though: I love the colors, the fit, and the material. The scuba-like material is breathable, making this the perfect summer/fall dress. I wore it to work with my cardigan and classic Jimmy Choo heels I found through The Real Real. I also wore this dress to a friend’s wedding on a Friday with different heels and with a clutch. The fit and flare style is appropriate for a day at the office, brunch, or a daytime wedding. I am hoping I can squeeze in some more wear out of this dress during Winter by adding some layers.
Le Tote has been sending me a lot of amazing things in my recent totes, and luckily I’ve captured some more outfits to share. If you haven’t tried the service before, you are missing out! Enjoy $25 off your first box when you sign up and use my referral link. I’ve also linked the outfit to shop below! I found some exact matches, but a-line style dress was a little harder to find.
Hope you are having a great week so far. Until next time!

Blue Steel
Dark Wash Denim Jacket Kut from the Kloth via Le Tote (here) | Blue and Grey Necklace French Connection via Le Tote | White Silk Blouse Alice + Olivia | Grey Tulle Skirt H&M | Ring Macy’s | Silver Capped Blue Flats DV Dolce Vita | Le Rouge Brun Createur – Dusty Rose 103 Lipstick Givenchy (here) |Another warm weekend in the Bay Area and I my love for this denim jacket is still going strong. It’s been my go-to for summer outfits throughout the month. This dark wash denim jacket has paid for itself by this point. It was a piece I discovered through Le Tote along with the necklace. I opted to return the necklace despite it being a Serenity Blue, one of the colors of the year by Pantone, and I kind of regret it since it was such a cool piece. On the bright side, I can always request to have it be part of my next tote if I can’t stop thinking about it.
Besides the jacket, necklace and ring, all the other items were thrifted. My Alice + Olivia top and H&M skirt are from Crossroads Trading Co. My DV flats are from Poshmark. I wore this outfit for a movie date. Pairing the silk top with the soft, grey skirt kind of gives off a dreamy look and I love the small pops of blue.
May went by so fast and I am so excited to share that my photographer (and boyfriend) Armando has graduated from SFSU! I spent a lot of time focused on preparing for the graduation, a small party I had for him, and on planning a trip to Japan next month. I feel I finally have more time to really dedicate to blogging, so stay tuned for some more outfits, beauty reviews and recipes sprinkled in for June.
