Vineyard Vines for Target - You Haven't Missed Out Yet!


Were you lucky enough to pick up some great products from the vineyard vines for Target launch?  If not, don't worry...there is still a limited amount of products online and some in store available for purchase.  I did some shopping at my local store this past Memorial Day weekend and was able to find some towels and swim shorts for my boys and a few things for me linked below.    If you don't find the size you need in your local store, you can check the Target app to see if other locations near by have it.  I was able to find a few products that way, but you have to be diligent in doing some research yourself!  

I'm wearing: 
Vineyard Vines for Target: red, white, and blue baseball hat & logo tank top (sold out online - check in stores)
Denim High-Rise Destructed Relaxed Longer Length Shorts found at Target here
Navy blue cardigan (old) - similar found here
Navy blue sneakers (old) - similar found here 



The creation of the Vineyard Vines collection for Target is meant to bring people together to celebrate moments that make summer so memorable. The limited-edition collection features the classic style that vineyard vines is known for, along with Target’s continued focus on value, design and innovation.   With most of the 300+ items for under $35, guests can experience the joy of summer with the collection which launched on May 18th!

Full of bold colors and prints, the new collection stays true to the brand’s classic style that’s perfect for summer. And with most items under $35, the line was designed for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re in the market for poolside tableware, family-coordinating swimwear, beach must-haves or other warm-weather gear, the collection offers something for any summer adventure. Check out a few of my favorite pieces, below, then click on over to Target.com to view more that is left in stock.  



Vineyard Vines for Target will be available through July 13, or while supplies last. As in true Target collaboration form, popular products sold out quickly.  However, returns do get processed so check online and in your local store and you may be surprised by what you find!  Prices range from $2 to $120, with most items under $35, and will be offered in sizes XS-3X for women, S-XXL for men, XS-XL for kids and 0-3M-5T for toddlers and babies. 

Let me know what you love about the Vineyard Vines Collection for Target and if you were able to pick up any products to enjoy for summer.  I linked several more of my favorites below but hurry and shop before the collection is all gone!

I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend!

Happy Shopping!

Black Gingham Bow Top

My love for gingham continues...in my last post here, I shared this gorgeous red gingham off the shoulder tie waist top.  Today, I'm wearing another one from the Who What Wear collection at Target, but this time in black gingham!  Seriously how cute is this top for summer?
   



There are so many things I love about this top!  First of all, the peplum style is so cute and figure flattering - cinching in around the waist and flaring out around the hips creates a nice slimming silhouette.  Also, the big bow on top of the left shoulder is the cutest detail!  The bow is adjustable so you can tie it to your desired fit.  I am 5'10 so I love it when tops have adjustable straps as I always need mine fully extended.  Lastly it's gingham, and who doesn't love gingham print for spring/summer?  By the way, it also comes in black and/or tan if you prefer a solid color that would go well with prints on the bottom!

I've rounded up a few of my favorite black gingham tops in various styles and price points below!  I'm wearing the first one one pictured below left in a size medium and it fits true to size!  Scroll through and see all the other darling styles I found!




I practically live in shorts in spring and summer and one closet staple I cannot live without is denim shorts!  I would say denim in general is a must have essential in my closet including a denim skirt, denim jacket, denim shirt dress, and a good ol pair of denim jeans!  I usually don't like to spend too much on shorts and as I get older I'm finding that I do prefer at least a 4-5 inch length.  I figure you can always roll them if you need to and they go with everything!  I've rounded up some of my favorites below.  I'm wearing these mid-rise dark wash ones in a size 8 and love them! 


I love to add a pop of color with accessories such as earrings, handbags, hats, or sunglasses.  I enjoy the color contrast and it makes the outfit a little more fun and playful.  I picked up these red sunnies last year for $16!  Again, I usually don't spend a lot on sunglasses as I have a tendency to lose them scratch them, or break them!  I've included the latest finds and favorites in the shop links below in various styles and price points!  You can't go wrong with red sunglasses!  I've already worn them in several posts including this one here, here, here, here, and here to capture a few!.    







Last but certainly not least, I love to wear comfortable open toe sandals when the weather warms up  and these woven basket weave slides literally go with everything! (I recently wore them in this post here!) I found a lot of similar styles and price points in the shopping links below.   How cute would any of these look with a flowy maxi dress and straw hat?  These ones are super cute and currently on sale for $49.99! Check out more of my picks below!


I hope you all had a beautiful weekend and Happy Memorial Day!  If you haven't had a chance to sign up for my San Francisco Bay Style newsletter you can subscribe here!  It's a great way to connect with all of you about new posts, great sales you don't want to miss, Q&A on various fashion, beauty, home decor, and travel topics, and so much more!  Don't worry, I won't overcrowd your inbox!  Also, don't forget you can shop all of the looks from my blog on my shop page!

Pineapple Passion

Be a pineapple 🍍 Stand tall 💃 , wear a crown 👑, & have a heart of gold 💛!

I knew when I saw this pineapple off the shoulder top I had to have it!  I mean who doesn't love pineapples 🍍🍍🍍?  I adore them just as much as lemons, cherries, and peaches!  I guess you could say I have crush on fruity clothing and accessories but I suspect I'm not the only one!

 Citrus prints add vacation-ready vibes to any outfit.  I love the off the shoulder silhouette and the cute bow ties on the sleeves add a dash of darling detail! I recently picked up this top at Charming Charlie in Reno, Nevada!  It's currently only sold in stores while Charming Charlie is undergoing a complete redesign of their website.

The Restless Sea

Location: Restless Sea, Pebble Beach, CA
Living in the San Francisco Bay Area offers so many reasons to get out and travel to visit the most beautiful destinations.  From the mountains, to the beaches, to the vineyards, and all the historic towns in between, there is so much to see within a short drive.  This past August I attended my niece's wedding in Carmel.  My husband and I decided to spend a few extra days there with the kids soaking up all the sun, doing a little shopping, and catching the most beautiful sunsets.  



What I'm Wearing:

1. Lilly Pulitzer Dress (similar here, here, and here)
2.  Summer straw hat (similar here, here, and here)
3. Sandals (other options here, here, and here)

Lilly Pulitzer is my go-to brand whenever I'm packing for a weekend beach trip!  I purchased this tunic dress last year but found a few similar options below in updated colors and prints for this year!  


Carmel by the Sea is a small and quaint beach town which is located in the Monterey peninsula on the central coast of California.  It's about 120 miles north of San Francisco and approximately a 2 hour drive.  There are many fun and family friendly activities to do when you visit Carmel and the Monterey peninsula including hiking, wine tasting, bird watching, scuba diving, shopping, museums, beaches, missions, etc.  

One of my most fondest memories as a child is the 17 Mile Drive.  Packed in the back of my parents Cadillac with my brother and sister, we took the scenic drive and visited all the iconic landmarks including the Lone Cypress, Ghost Tree, Pebble Beach, and Restless Sea (featured here) to name a few.  As you pass through any of the entry gates on the17-Mile Drive, you will also be given a brochure with extensive information and a map.  Just follow the dashed red line on the roadway and posted signs along the route.    
   



The best time to see the 17 mile drive is in the Spring or Fall season.  The summer can be foggy especially in the morning making it really hard to see the beauty of the expansive sea views.  If you go in the summer like we did, I would suggest waiting until the late afternoon/early evening to give the fog time to burn off.   Plus you'll get some amazing sunset pictures! 

Admission to 17-Mile Drive is $10.25 per vehicle, cash only (as of Aug 2017). The gate fee is reimbursed with a purchase of $35 or more at all Pebble Beach Resorts restaurants, excluding Pebble Beach Market. Admission is complimentary for overnight guests of The Lodge at Pebble Beach, The Inn at Spanish Bay and Casa Palmero.  However, please keep in mind that gates are open to the public from sunrise to sunset and motorcycles are prohibited.



One of my favorite landmarks along the 17 mile drive is the Restless Sea (featured here). This area lies between Spanish Bay and Point Joe. The sea currents here are anything but calm and the waves seem to crash against each other causing a bit of a chaotic restlessness!  It's a beautiful point to snap pictures and take in the gorgeous views or the rocky bluffs and Pacific Ocean.      


If you're looking for lodging/accommodations near the 17 mile drive, there are many options to choose from including the luxurious resorts of Pebble Beach, quaint bed and breakfast inns, and family friendly budget conscious options.  For more information on lodging at Carmel by The Sea visit here!

Summer Blues in Stripes

Location: Alameda, CA
Is your wardrobe ready for summer?  I've been doing quite a bit of shopping for my upcoming vacation and all I can say is I've got the summer blues!  I'm sure you've noticed the explosion of pale blues, summer bright whites, and classic stripes all over Pinterest, Instagram, and fashion blogs!  This is the quintessential look of summer style!

What I'm Wearing:
These blue and white striped shorts (similar here, here, and here)
This cool and crisp summer white ruffle top (similar here and here)
My favorite straw hat I will wear all summer long (similar here and here)
My classic Tory Burch gold Miller sandals (similar here and here)
   



When it comes to summer fashion, I love to wear shorts!  I've started quite a collection of solid colors and prints over the years and find that this is the first thing I grab when looking for something casual and comfy to wear on a warm spring or hot summer day!  I picked up these blue and white striped shorts this past Memorial Day weekend!  I generally prefer a 5" inch inseam with a mid rise fit because I am tall and feel a bit more comfortable wearing a slightly longer length.  However, I did roll them up slightly for this blog post and I also like that versatility.  I knew they would be perfect for summer as they are made in a cool linen blend material which is so soft and comfortable!   



I decided to wear them with this crisp white one shoulder ruffle top!  I adore the cute structured ruffle and the length is perfect to wear un-tucked over shorts, skirts, or leggings!  This will be one of my summer go to tops and I may go back and get a few other colors!  It also comes in black, royal blue, and tangerine orange!  Also, it's currently on sale for 40% off, so you may want to pick one up before they sell out quickly!




I topped off my summer blues in stripes outfit with my favorite straw hat that I usually wear all summer long and my classic gold Tory Burch Miller sandals.  I've had both of these items for a number of years and they never go out of style and always look great!  


I hope you all enjoyed your Memorial Day holiday weekend!  Hopefully you were able to spend some time with your loved ones creating memories and doing something fun!  I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the military service men and women both past and present for their commitment and sacrifices to protect and serve our country!  Both my mom and dad served in the US Marine Corps and now lie to rest in the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery.   Therefore, this holiday holds a special place in my heart!

By the way, I started a blog newsletter recently and would love for you to subscribe!  It's a great way to connect with all of you about new posts, great sales you don't want to miss, Q&A on various fashion, beauty, home decor, and travel topics, and so much more!  You can subscribe here...Don't worry, I won't overcrowd your inbox!  Also, don't forget you can shop all of the looks from my blog on my shop page!
