These Boots are Made for Walking

It feels like Fall and I’m all about it ladies! OMG! Sweaters, leggings and boots are exactly what I’m craving right now. The coziness of it all, while still having the option of looking polished! Yup…I’m a fan! This is a quick share because these booties are so cute, they are from Target (so the price is right at under $35), and they are a perfect as we transition into Fall. The triple buckle gives these a little edge, the heel is low so they fulfill the need for comfort, and the cut out details are so fun! I linked these booties below so scroll down and snag ’em before they sell out! They are going fast!

In the pic above I’m sporting my favorite leggings in all the land! My faux leather leggings by Spanx are by far the best! I have 2 pairs that have lasted me for well over a year with regular wear and washing (wash cold/hang dry). I’ve linked the exact ones below and they are well wort it. The waist is high and will hold everything in so that you can sport all your fave tunics and sweaters knowing you look like a lady boss! I feel that these are pretty TTS and purchased them in an XS. 

My exact bag and poncho sold out (so bummed) so I linked to some similar ones that will get the job done. You can snag my exact sunnies (the perfect black cat eyes) for 40% off right now with the code READYSETSALE 🙂 Keep scrolling for my finds and to shop my look! I hope you’re getting into the Fall spirit too! Yay! 

Denim is a Love that Never Fades

This casual look is my current fave! Target hit it out of the park – as per usual! The cardigan comes in 16 different colors – WHAT?!? It’s soft, drapes nicely, and looks more expensive than it is by a lot (it’s under $23). My striped top has the cutest flutter sleeves and comes in 2 colors. It’s also super soft, has the perfect drape which makes it easy to tuck in, and it looks amazing with jeans, skirts and more! It’s on sale right now for $15 and SO worth it! My red shoes are also from Target and are easy to wear all day long! I sized down a little bit (usually a 7 and I got 6.5) – and they fit perfectly. They are under $20 and come in 5 fab colors. I plan on ordering them in a couple other colors before they sell out! 

These jeans are one of my top purchases to date, are super soft, and beyond comfortable. They have the perfect distressing and a good amount of stretch. The price varies by size but they were under $40 when I ordered them and worth every penny. Size down on these ones if you want a more fitted look. They run a little large and stretch a bit when you wear them for the day. I ordered my actual size and they are perfect for the relaxed look I was looking for. 

Keep scrolling for my exact outfit and some fun accessories. These are perfect transitional pieces going into Fall – and will carry you beautifully through the cooler months! Yay for relaxed denim looks! Happy shopping! Muah!

Sweaters are Blankets You Can Wear to Work

We’re at the top of August and shopping for Fall is on the rise. Cozy cardigans, layering tops with jeans and getting staples to carry you through the cooler months is something that starts now with the big sales that are On Like Donkey Kong! 

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in full swing and there is so much to love this year! I’ve linked to some of my fave jeans and cardigans from the NSale this year, along with some on trend accessories that will get you the look that you want without breaking the bank (i.e. bags for under $35, sandals for under $20, and sunglasses for under $14)! 

Target has some seriously cute accessories right now as well – that have that designer look for A LOT less! Keep scrolling for some super affordable ideas to look chic and feel comfy as we transition from Summer to Fall. My goal is to help create looks you’ll love that are also affordable and versatile. Happy shopping and please reach out with questions! Muah!

Flutter (sleeves) Like a Butterfly

Flutter like a butterfly, stop and smell the flowers like bees! Yup…made that up just now! 🙂 I’m sharing our cute flutter sleeve outfits today because I posted some photos on Insta and got lots of questions. They’re soft, comfy, cute, and super versatile! I wore my dress with wedges (linked below) as well as some easy going flip flops. Sneakers would be super cute with this dress as well – and help transition this outfit (with a cozy cardigan) to Fall. I mean – talk about getting a ton of use out of these! 

Sofia loves her new dresses (the kids ones are actually tunics) because they’re girlie and comfy – and she can run and play in them! I plan to put leggings under them for the cooler months to get more use out of them. Yay!

These GAP dresses and the pink shoes below are also on sale and you can get an extra 20% off with the code EVERYTHING through 7/30/18 (see gap.com for details). I linked my exact sunnies, my super fun (and comfy) wedges, Sofia’s exact shoes and a cute pair of kids sunnies for a steal! I also linked some other dress colors and accessories that are fun and will work with lots of other items in your closet. Keep scrolling for a pic of the black version of this dress – I paired it with a super cute bag (linked below) and some flip flops. I felt polished but also like I was wearing cozy PJs all day…that is a total win! Have a great week loves! Muah!

Baby She’s a Firework

My baby sparkles so much she could be a firework! Ha! Ok…with the 4th coming up I just couldn’t help it. 🙂 That being said, I’m all about this Summer outfit. Yes, it is perfect for the 4th. It is also perfect for Summer in general – which means I’m getting more bang (like a firework) for my buck! Yup – that makes this mommy happy! I’ve linked Sofia’s EXACT outfit below, as well as an alternative outfit in the same color scheme. 

This red gingham dress is comfy, lightweight, lined, has cute little flutter sleeves, and the cutest embroidered detailing along the bottom. For Sofia’s dress and other cute GAP items, use the codes GO4TH and MOREFUN to get free shipping and between 40-60% off!

The shoes, jacket and bows are all from Target and are on repeat in our house. The shoes are SO cute, comfy, and a crazy good price! The jacket is soft, washes beautifully, and goes with so many Summer outfits it’s ridiculous! Sofia has this jacket on in the AM before it heats up, and the PM when it starts to cool down. It’s going to carry us through Summer and into the cooler temps. It is true to size but if you want it to last longer, size up and roll the sleeves. Worth it! 

Have a Happy 4th and a wonderful week! Be safe and enjoy the fun! Muah!

Pineapples and Vacation Feels

Pineapples and palm trees give me all the vacation vibes I crave these days! It’s been hot out, and we don’t have any AC, so sundresses are my way of coping. I can add a little tropical flare to my wardrobe while beating the heat…right?!?

This sweet little sundress is under $20 and is perfect for Summer. It’s lightweight, travels well, has pockets, adjustable straps, and the buttons are just for show – so no need to worry about button gaps! It also comes in 11 different patterns, so you can get your faves and enjoy! 

The fit is true to size – I ordered a small but could have gotten it in an XS (and will when I order it in another color). Always look at the size chart for details. Scroll down to see my full outfit details – dress, bag, shoes (on sale now) and sunnies. You’ll also find a second pineapple dress option with full accessories – all priced under $25! 

One last thing to note: You can snag my absolute fave black and gold cat eye sunnies (shown below) for 50% off right now using the code: SUMMERSTYLE – I wear them on repeat these days and get compliments on them all the time! So worth it, especially while they are half off! 

Get your pineapple on and have a lovely weekend! Muah!

 

Palm Trees Ocean Breeze

The heat in the Bay Area has been so wonderful lately, especially when we can go out for a cocktail and a little AC! Ha! This palm wide-leg jumpsuit is honestly beyond comfortable and oh so cute! The fabric is light and airy, perfect for the Summer heat. The straps are adjustable, which gives you a more custom neckline (and more or less modesty). The back is low, but not backless (so sassy without overdoing it), and it comes with a tie on belt to accentuate the waist. Oh! And it’s $20.99…so it’s a total deal!

This outfit was perfect for date night, but is going to work well for BBQ’s, brunches, and other fun Summer events! Available in XS to L – though read the size chart. I went with a small due to the chart, wanting more flow in the Summer heat, and the reviews. Keep scrolling – I’ve linked my exact jumpsuit, bag, sunglasses and shoes (first 4 photos) – as well as some alternatives! 

P.S. – You can snag my current FAVE sunnies for 50% off by using the code: TRENDING 

Have a wonderful weekend! Muah!

3 Words: Little. Black. Dress.

A little black dress (LBD) is always needed. Summer is on the way and I for one wanted a fun LBD for date nights, cocktails, weddings, and other functions. You really can’t go wrong with a LBD in your closet. You’re not too dressed up, or down…it’s pretty much perfect! 

I’ve linked to my exact outfit below (dress, bag, earrings and sunglasses) on the top line (first 4 images if you’re scrolling). Below that, you’ll find another beautiful ruffle and eyelet LBD, designer dupe bag (get it for a steal), earrings and perfect shoes (I do have these shoes…teehee). 

This outfit was perfect when I was in Sonoma a couple of weeks ago. I had lunch with my mom and it was light and casual feeling, while also making me feel a little bit sassy and classy. That is a combo I’ll happily take! Let me know if you have any questions about this outfit or the dupes linked above. Muah! 

How to be SAS-SY in Flats

In my first post about SAS shoes, I introduced you all to the SAS Layla. Not only is it a cute wedge that happens to match everything, but I’ve literally been stopped on the street and asked about them. Yup…they are that cute! For my full review, click HERE for my SAS Layla blog post with lots of pics. 

As a part 2, I want to introduce you to the SAS Luxe. I have this lovely shoe in silver (see photo above) and am obsessed! This shoe is a leather loafer that I would call a flat (though it has a tiny heel). It has an almond shaped toe, which is both stylish and gives your toes proper room, and padding under the insole for cushioned comfort. I’ve taken some close ups that you can see as you keep scrolling. 

The SAS Luxe is handcrafted in Tuscany, Italy. I personally chose the silver/gray because it is such a perfect color combo for Spring and Summer. I wanted something sassy that would work with a variety of colors, pair well with pants, skirts and dresses, and keep my feet happy all day! Pretty tall order for shoes…good thing I found these! 😉 You’ll notice that the silver Luxe has a gorgeous fish scale like pattern on it. The color and detailing are what gives it that sassy touch! 

The SAS Luxe comes in 4 colors – all of them are beautiful and will work with a large variety of outfits. You can see from the images below, that you can pick between platinum, black, navy and silver. I think the black Luxe are my next purchase because they are so versatile and will work all year round. 

They all have elastic side-panels which help give a more flexible (and custom feeling) fit. There is a steel shank that is underneath the midsole of the shoe to add support and help your shoes to last a LONG time! That is great news for me, because I am hard on my shoes! The heel of the shoe is made of an extra durable material that will withstand a variety of weather conditions and uneven pavement better than leather. Being a MN girl in CA, that means I could go from snow to summer in these cutie shoes! 🙂 

I paired the SAS Luxe in silver with a fun plaid jumpsuit. I wanted to look cute but also be comfortable. That is key in my life these days – kids and dogs and busy mommy moments…I need to be able to function AND feel good! This outfit was perfect because I had a preschool play in the morning, a meeting around lunchtime, was able to walk the dogs in the afternoon, pick up the kids from school, and make dinner – all without my feet hurting one bit! I would say that is a BIG win! 

To show some versatility – I’ve styled the SAS Luxe with a couple of dresses. You can see them both in the images below. The first is a white linen summer dress that is perfect for a hot day. I would easily put the silver Luxe with this dress for church, brunch, a family event, or other sweet Spring/Summer function.

I also paired the SAS Luxe with a striped summer dress that I would wear for brunch with my girlfriends, a little wine tasting, a picnic at the park, or even a fun date with my honey! These shoes are so versatile – which is why I wanted you to see them paired with dresses and pants. They work with a variety of patterns and solids – and I’ve totally worn them with white cropped pants and jeans! This color was the right choice – and I would highly recommend them if you’re on the fence on which color to order! 

The takeaway from both my SAS Layla and SAS Luxe blog posts is that comfort and style can – and should – go hand in hand. You don’t have to sacrifice your feet (and body) to stay on-trend! You can do right by your feet and look good! I hope both posts give you a new view into what SAS Shoes has to offer – and that you’ll check out their website for other great styles! 

BIG thanks to SAS Shoes for the complimentary shoes! I’m hooked for life and am so happy for my feet! 😉 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’ve put my honest opinion into these posts, and am happy to share more if you want me to get more specific. You should also check out Instagram for style inspiration from others who have styled their SAS shoes like pros! Now, go enjoy your day and happy shoe shopping! Muah!
