How to Make a Dress Look Casual Yet Classy

OUTFIT DETAILS: DRESS: Shein    c/o   //  SNEAKERS:  Adidas  //   EARRINGS: Majorica  SUNGLASSES: Target ( Designer version here )  // BRACELET: Kate Spade old ( similar here ) CLUTCH / CROSSBODY BAG: Nine West old (similar here , here ,  here  + love this one )   .... One of the things I love most about living in California is the true change of seasons, something I've missed during the last 10 years while I lived in Florida after moving down from the north. It feels great to be planning my fall wardrobe and experimenting with different outfit combinations once again as layering is half the fun! Earlier this week during one of our  typical 75-degree days, I paired this ultra comfy dress with sneakers-something that is normally outside of my comfort zone. The key is making sure to get the right footwear, a running shoe intended for training would come off as frumpy. With the Bay Area offering a more casual vibe and my increase in outdoor activities along with the amount of walk

( Designer version here )  // EARRINGS: Majorica .... Happy October everyone! The first day of Fall in the Bay Area certainly didn't disappoint! The leaves have already begun turning colors, the air has that crispness to it in the early morning + late evening and during the day we're warmed by the sun's rays on even the chilliest sounding temps-the 60's actually feel more like 80's. We've already begun stocking up on white mini pumpkins and other fall decor. If you've been following along on instagram, you may have seen that we are actually growing our own pumpkins and have already harvested 9! They grew from seeds in the compost on our property and were transferred so they had already turned orange weeks ago and were ready to be picked. I fi

Is anyone else wondering where the summer went? Speaking of time passing quickly, I just realized it's been two whole months since my last post here! Some of you may have gathered I took a bit of a summer sabbatical as I attended to some family needs. I'm glad to finally start writing here again and going forward you'll notice a change in my fashion posts as we recently moved across the country last month from Florida to....... California! More on that to come soon but in the mean time I'll give you a little sneak peek into my backyard. :) Today's outfit is very much inspired by my new surroundings.

Classic Black and White Gingham Dress

DRESS: Make Me Chic c/o   ( also here )  //  HANDBAG: local boutique (similar here ,  here , here  )  SHOES: Nine West old   (similar style here + here ) // SUNGLASSES:  Target ( designer version here ) EARRINGS: Merona no longer available ( love this style )  //  BRACELETS: Kate Spade   When I think of summertime, an array of images come to mind. Visions of bronzed sun-kissed skin, lazy beach days, strawberry picking with the family, relaxing with a big glass of sweet tea or lemonade in hand to beat the heat, making s'mores by the campfire at night and of course eating lots of juicy watermelon slices and picnics in the park.
