Summer Sandals Under $100

It's almost the official start to summer which means the weather is going to be much warmer in the months ahead! Therefore, it's time to dress up your feet with the cutest and hottest summer sandal styles!  I picked out several options and colors in my shopping list below!  The trend this year is all about slides - flat, colorful, and comfortable!  

I love to wear sandals with just about anything.  They look great with a pair of shorts, a comfortable pair of jeans, a beautiful cotton poplin dress...the possibilities are really endless.  The most important detail for me is comfort and style!  I think you'll find several favorites in the list below and the good thing is these pairs are all under $100 or less!

So go get yourself a spa pedicure and some lemonade and come shopping with me!  Which one is your favorite?

Floral Romper

If you are ready for spring, kick up your peep toe wedges!!  I know I am ready for warmer weather and I couldn't be more excited about soft pastel colors, sandals, shorts, pedicures, sunnies, straw hats, and spring's hottest trend...the romper!  

If there is one style essential I had to choose for my spring wardrobe this coming season, it would be a floral romper!  This white floral print sleeveless playsuit from Choies is gorgeous and it is under $25!  I styled it two ways.  The look on the left is more of a casual beach inspired style, while the look on the right is a great way to dress it up for a date night out!  Either way, you will look stunning! Which look do you like best?

I have rounded up some of my favorite floral rompers in the shopping links below.  I know it's not exactly spring yet, but it is right around the corner and there is no shame in planning and purchasing your favorites early!  One can dream about warmer weather right?  You might as well be prepared!

What are some of your favorite spring trends?  I would love to hear from you!  I hope you all have a fantastic day "spring dreaming"!

Enjoy Shopping,

Cold Hands Warm Heart

When I meet someone for the first time and shake their hand, I always apologize up front for my cold hands.  I guess what they say is true..."cold hands, warm heart".   Old Man Winter has definitely settled in over the past few days and BRRRR....it's cold!  I have been layering all of my winter knits to keep warm but one thing I don't go without when I leave the front door is mittens for my hands!  I like to think of mittens as another accessory - similar to an "arm party" or "wrist candy" and the more whimsical the better!  

I have selected a bunch of my favorite mittens on the blog today!  Some are more about the whimsy and the holidays and others are more about function rather than fashion!  Which pair is your favorite?  There are some major sales happening now on holiday themed winter accessories...it's a great time to pick those up for next year!

Enjoy shopping!

Rainy Day Essentials

We are preparing for a big rain storm and high winds to hit the San Francisco Bay Area in a few hours,  This storm is expected to bring several inches of rain, 35-50 mph winds, and localized flooding is possible. My kids school will be closed tomorrow due to the expected severity, damage, and possible power outages that will most likely occur.  In addition, my company advised employees to work from home if possible and stay off the roads.  

This is a pretty big deal for us San Francisco Bay Area natives.  We have been in a serious drought for more than a year and rain is very much appreciated and needed.  However, my hope is that no serious damage occurs and people stay safe inside.  

Make sure you charge up all your electronics tonight - phones, laptops, tablets, etc.  Grab some batteries, flashlights, matches, and candles and cuddle up and stay warm!

Today on the blog, I'm sharing some of my favorite rainy day essentials.  I have always loved rainy days!  When I was a young girl, my mom bought me a clear bubble umbrella with rainbows on it!  I could never find these when I got older but they have recently surfaced again making a comeback which makes me very happy!  Don't forget your rain boots, rain coat, water repellent hat, and a warm sweater!  

Some people walk in the rain,,,I'd rather jump in the puddles! I hope you all have a fabulous day!  

xoxoxo,

Hayley

Holiday Gift Guide: Dog Lovers

Today I'm sharing the 3rd installment of my "Holiday Gift Guide" blog series and this one is focused on treats for my fellow dog lovers!  I have a 4 year old chocolate Labrador named Roscoe and have been a "dog person" since I was five years old when my parents reluctantly agreed to bring home a stray mutt we "adopted" while on a family vacation.  Our current family dog, Roscoe, is a very loving an loyal dog.  Yes...he sometimes gets into trouble but for the most part he is a good dog and stays off Santa's naughty list!  

If you are looking for the perfect stocking stuffer for your pooch or just want to display your own affection for dogs through fashionable style...have a look at the gift guide I have assembled below!  I am absolutely in love with the Ralph Lauren clothing collection for dogs!  Wait until you see some of these darling styles!  There are also some great handcrafted pillows and accessories through Etsy sites that you should check out from my list below!! 

Don't forget to add your pooch to your holiday gift list!  I hope you all are having fun holiday shopping!

woof woof!!

Holiday Gift Guide: For Him

I have some more holiday gift ideas to share with you today.  Whether you are shopping for your husband, boyfriend, brother, or best friend, these gift ideas will be sure to spread some holiday cheer! 

Men are actually pretty simple to shop for and please.  I usually select gifts based on their hobbies or interests.  Here are some examples:

Foodies: some men love to cook, ahem, or eat!  Let's face it, most are masters of the barbecue!  Therefore, a quick trip to find some kitchen necessities would be perfect!  [ideas: BBQ utensils, wine, bar sets, a night out to that fabulous restaurant in the city, followed by dessert!]

Techies: some men get a bit geeked out over hitech gifts and gadgets! [ideas: music, movies, computer software, digital photography, wireless anything!]

Sports Fanatics: there is an abundance of sports gifts out there!  Whether they enjoy football, golf, baseball, fishing, running, or hunting, you can find something for the sports fanatic in your life [ideas: visit your local sporting goods store!  My husband loves to fish so I renew his fishing license each year!  My brother loves baseball so I usually get him something from the San Francisco Giants!]

I would love to hear what gifts you have in mind for the men in your life!  I have selected a few of my favorites below and I hope they will give you some great ideas and/or inspiration!  

I hope you all had a terrific holiday weekend with your friends and family!  It's back to work today for me after the long 4 day weekend!  

Enjoy shopping!

NYFW14 Trend: Is Blush the New Black?

Someday I hope to experience first hand the excitement, fun, and electric energy of New York Fashion Week!  It's definitely one of those things on my bucket list that I hope to do in the near future!  Until then, I can read all about the runway trends, famous celebrity attendees, and up and coming fashion designers that made a big splash at this year's event in September!

There were a few popular style trends on the runway that created quite a buzz!  The two I am most excited about is 1) jumpsuits and 2) soft pastel and neutral hues used abundantly in clothing, makeup, and accessories.  I adore soft pastels and neutral colors; combined with the perfect light and flowing texture, they create a delicate, natural, sophisticated, and ethereal style.  I also love the fact that our summer rompers are getting longer and jumpsuits are making a comeback!!

I created two similar monochromatic looks using blush pink as the primary palate.  I thought it would be fun to showcase a designer styled outfit and then create a similar look for less.  Can you tell which look is the designer vs. deal without peeking below?  One outfit costs a little over $300 and the other is a little over $3,000!  

What do you think of the soft pastel and light neutral color palate trend that made a big splash at #NYFW14?  I am certainly loving this look.  Is blush the new black?  

Enjoy shopping!  

Xoxoxo,

Hayley
