Blue Striped Ruffle Top

I was digging through my pictures archive and stumbled across this look that I completely forgot to post about this past summer! Oh well, September here in the San Francisco bay area is generally the hottest month of the season! It's been well into the 90's over the last few days and I'm not complaining! I love to throw on a pair of shorts and a cool top, such as this striped ruffled sleeveless button up from H&M.

I adore the ruffle detail around the neckline which gives this top a little bit of a retro style. In fact, it reminds me of a white ruffle top that I wore under a floral dress in my 4th grade picture! We won't talk about how long ago that was, but it's nice to see old fashion trends emerge again!

The blue and white pin stripes are the finishing touch that give this top a little bit of a nautical flare. I decided to wear it with a classic pair of white shorts such as these here and a simple pair of sandals such as these cute neutral ones that go with anything here.

I hope you are all having a great week so far! Get out and enjoy the outdoors and savor the last bits of summer we have left! Also, don't forget...H&M is having a sale up to 60% off! Shop 1,000+ styles online and in-store and receive free shipping on orders of $40 or more using code: 0040.

Tropical Jogger Pants

Location: Hyatt Grand Cypress - Orlando, FL

It's been a while since I have posted on my blog. Honestly, I have been super busy lately with my boys going back to school and a promotion at my job. Our family has also been grieving with an unexpected loss...so sometimes... more important events have to take priority in life. However, I hope you all follow me on my Instagram account. If you don't, stop by and say hello and let me know that you follow along! I post there almost every day and I would love to follow you back!

I'm throwing it back to summer on the blog today with these colorful tropical print jogger pants. by Bar III.

They are super lightweight and comfortable and packed perfectly for my recent trip to sunny Florida. I love to be comfortable when I travel and have clothes that are completely versatile from day to night. I chose a casual look for my day out exploring which included a morning bike ride, a casual outdoor patio lunch with friends, and spending some time poolside to soak in the Florida sun! My daytime look included these black studded sandals, a straw hat, a casual tank top and a sheer sleeveless button up blouse that kept the whole look easy and breezy.

When the sun goes down and you are ready to change the look for a night out on the town, add a pair of heels such as these one here or here, a cute peplum or crop top, and a sleek clutch. Don't forget to polish off your look with a little sparkle such as this simple and classy twisted orbit cuff bangle I picked out from Helen's Jewels !

Enjoy Shopping!

Twirl Worthy Floral Frock

Labor Day is unofficially the last weekend of the summer season. It's a great time to get together with family and friends to enjoy a barbecue, have a pool party, and delight in the last few hot, sunny, blue sky days the season has to offer. We are lucky here in the San Francisco Bay Area, as the best weather of the year is typically in September and & October, when summer transitions into fall.

Although I am looking forward to the arrival of autumn and transitioning my wardrobe to cooler and hopefully wet weather ahead, I will miss so many lovely things that summer brings each year - the taste of sweet watermelon and strawberries, the smell of freshly cut lawn and blooming roses, longer days that end in golden sunsets, and warm evenings by the outdoor fire pit making s'mores with the kids.

Today I am wearing a beautiful spring/summer inspired floral print dress by Maggy London. I love the fit and flare style made in a cool stretch cotton material, The floral palette includes soft colors of lavender, pink, green, and cranberry on top of a crisp white canvas. Pair this with a colorful cardigan and matching flats when the days get a little cooler. I opted to wear it with my favorite pair of lace up espadrille wedges and minimal accessories to truly show off the painterly floral pattern.

I hope you all have a happy, memorable, and relaxing Labor Day holiday! Enjoy the unofficial last weekend of the summer by getting outdoors and making some fun memories with your family and friends! Also, don't forget to check out those great Labor Day sales!

Enjoy Shopping!

Peplum & Pom Poms

Today’s “Trending on Thursday” topic is “Peplum & Pom Poms”! I couldn’t let the summer pass by without featuring these sassy trends! We have all seen this darling and colorful style pop up on Instagram & Pinterest feeds this past summer, and I have to say…I am absolutely smitten with it!

I am passionate about the small details which make a garment special. For example…scalloped hems, lace trims, and/or embellishment accents make a garment unique and different! The pom pom detail of these shorts is appealing, feminine, and fun and the floral pattern is perfect for summer style! I chose to pair these with some darling peplum tops I found on Body Central. Seriously, you must check out their website! I was blown away by their amazing selection of peplum colors and styles!

I searched all over for the cutest colors, styles, and prices to bring to you and have assembled two fun, and summer-inspiring outfits for you to shop below! Let me know what you think!

Have a great day!
