Minty Monochrome






Top and Earrings: Forever 21 // Pants: TJ Maxx // Bag: Asos // Sunglasses: Ray-Ban // Necklace: H&M // Shoes: Prabal Gurung for Target // Watch: Michael Kors


It seems I can't stay away from monochromatic looks. I noticed myself doing this back in the fall/winter and I don't see it changing for spring/ summer. I just love the balance of mixing similar shades of colors-it packs such a fun punch!

Happy Thursday!

San Francisco Spring






Pants and Blazer: Target // Blouse: Forever 21 // Pumps: Boutique 9 // Sunglasses: Ray-Bans // Bag: Alexander Wang via Poshmark // Nameplate Necklace: Bauble Bar // Watch: K-mart

Hi friends! For those of you who follow me on Twitter, you probably saw I received the news of an unexpected root canal on Monday, which has put me in quite the blah mood. Between the four dentist appointments (and one more on Thursday), antibiotics, and a mid week trip to San Diego, I must say I am ready to start fresh this week- so bring it on, Monday! 

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of reuniting in San Francisco with my dear friend and blogging buddy Natasha. I met her earlier this year in Seattle and we instantly hit it off- she is hilarious, stunning, and intelligent which is definitely the kind of lady I like to surround myself with--can you say inspiring? So when she told me she had a free afternoon I jumped at the chance to see her for happy hour and naturally we took a little photo opp break! 

Thanks for the pics, pretty lady! If you don't follow her blog, what are you waiting for--she is in the works of a relaunch so expect fabulous new things from her soon!

Tie Dye, Polka Dots & Denim





Pants, Belt,  Denim Jacket & Wristlet: Target // Top: Forever 21 // Sandals: Charlotte Russe // Hat: Flea Market // Sunglasses: Ray- Ban

I don't know about you, but I am kind of loving all things tie dye for spring, so when I saw these pants on my last quick Target run, I knew I had to have them! I love the subtle purple and white combo, and paired with a pop of neon at the belt and denim jacket is spring time perfection. I am also going to be wearing these white and metallic sandals and hat all summer long. 

These pants also sparked some DIY inspiration in me, and I feel a nail art session coming up very soon! 

Happy Thursday!

Professional with a Twist







Jeans: Forever 21 // Top & Blazer: Target // Shoes: Asos // Flower Pin: H&M // Watch: Michael Kors


Hi friends! It most definitely has been a whirl wind of a week traveling, and I just want to thank you all for baring with me when I go off on these week long hiatus' from blogging. As much as I always say I will make time, between the jet lag, and back to back work events, it never seems to happen. So again, I am sorry and I appreciate you all understanding and coming back! :-)

Here's my take on a professional look... with a twist of course!. I am pretty obsessed with this peplum top and paired with the bright blazer and cap-toe pumps makes for an easy breezy week day look. Also, I have been trying my hand on the center part with my hair. I kind of like it for summer because it gives off that more beachy laid back look--what do you guys think of the center part?

Lastly, myself and nine other ladies gave our fashion blogging tips over on my dear friend, Mollie's blog- go check it out!

Neons, Stripes, & Sequins






Jeans and Necklace: Poshmark // Tee: Old Navy // Blazer: Target // Bracelet: HRH Collection // Earrings: Ann Taylor // Shoes: Prabal Gurung for Target // Sunglasses: Ray-Ban


While in LA last week, I didn't get to do much shopping due to my luggage practically exceeding the 50 pound limit on the first leg of the trip- yes I am that much of an over packer. But my sister and I did get to quickly pop into Old Navy while having lunch at the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, and I must say Old Navy, is doin' it well. I easily could have scooped up multiple pairs of bright and printed jeans, pretty dresses, and t-shirts galore, but I managed to keep things to a minimum and went with this striped, sequin, neon tee-love love. I can see this being styled so many different ways for the warmer months to come!

Happy Thursday!

Which AG look did I pick? 


As my Los Angeles trip came and went over a week ago, I finally wanted to share a some highlights from the LuckyFABB conference held at the SLS Beverly Hills! 

1. Speakers & Panels: There is so much valuable information to pick up from a blogger and brand perspective, so getting to hear what people like Drew Barrymore, Kelly Osbourne, and Emily Schuman speak- is so priceless! Common thread throughout all speakers- Being true to yourself, and finding your voice! 
2. Networking: While I love hearing the speakers at these conferences, I think my favorite part is getting to see my blogging bffs, and meeting my social media pals in real life. I am so lucky to be apart of such an inspirational group of strong women and putting us all in a room together is not only fun, but empowering! 
3. Brand experiences: In between panels, brands like Tacori, AG Jeans, and JustFab invited guests to learn more about their brand, enter in fun contests, etc. And while I never win anything...like ever-I actually won an Instagram contest from AG and got to select one of three, head-to-toe looks from them--can you guess which look I picked? (photo above)


Some other highlights of the trip were getting to meet Betsey Johnson on more than one occasion, having a fun happy hour with some amazing Poshmarker's, and overall getting inspired to stay true to my voice and to who I am-holler!
