Weekender

Happy Monday everyone! I hope your weekends were enjoyable! Indian Summer has finally hit San Francisco, so this is what I lived in on Sunday. The back detail of this tank is something I really like, and though it's a little showy- it did a great job at keeping me cool. I hope this weather persists!

Summer to Fall Transition

Summer              |                 Fall

Now that Labor Day has come and gone, it really feels like Summer is over. School has started, work is picking up, and the city just lost it's ease. I thought it would be perfect to go over a Summer to Fall transitional outfit, because while it may still feel like Summer most everywhere, Fall is waiting right around the corner.

The denim dress is the perfect foundation for the transition, and while you can still pair it with flatform sandals, bold earrings, and a bright cross-body bag now, you can take those elements and make them Fall appropriate. Borrow the color of the earrings and bag, and transfer them to a light weight scarf, and work bag. Pair that with fall worthy boots and a leather jacket, and you are set!

Girl's Weekend

I'm off to Santa Cruz for some fun in the sun with Jessica, to not only celebrate her birthday, but to also have one last hurrah before she leaves me for San Diego. It's going to be bitter sweet but I am very excited.

Do you have any fun plans this weekend??

Suede

The only good thing about living in San Francisco in the Summertime, and it's lack of a legitimate Summer, is that when all the Winter and Fall items hit super sale, you can still wear them for the next few months, instead of having to wait it out. Take this gorgeous burnt rose suede skirt from Madewell. The price dropped just as San Francisco's temperatures did, giving me the perfect chance to snatch it up and wear it right away. For today I paired it with a light chambray shirt, trench coat, and Madewell heels, making this appropriate for a day in the office, and for a fancy dinner afterwards.

Trend-Spotting: Summer Blazers

Since Summer is generally difficult to dress for at night, I wanted to point out a trend, that I find is quite useful for chillier Summer evenings. The pastel blazer is perfect for maintaining an effortless, chic ensemble, while also providing the right amount of warmth without killing the Summery feel. They provide a fun pop of color, and stand out in a crowd of simple cardis, and tanks.

P.S. don't forget to stop by the blog shop!

Trend- Spotting: Fluorescent Flats

Now that Summer is around the corner, for real, I thought it would be fun to cover shoe options, other than the go to sandal. Since sandals, no matter how cute, are not always appropriate, and heels can be a pain, flats in bright colors are perfect for Summer occasions. They are cool, light, and comfy, but they also add polish and a pop of color to our light and wispy ensembles. My personal favorite are the coral J. Crew pair; coral, patent, pointy toes, and flat, what more could a girl ask for?

Nautical

Working the nautical look minus the classic use of stripes. The print on the skirt, and on the bow tie of the shirt, carried their weight in pushing the theme here, and this was perfect for an extremely hot day in the office!

Btw, have I told you where I work yet? I'm the Associate Marketing and Merchandise Coordinator at tobi.com, and online women's clothing boutique. Check it out, we have some great pieces!

Monday

Happy Monday everyone! This past weekend we saw one day of sunlight, and mild temperatures, so I had to bust out a bright pair of shorts, and new flirty shoes, even though I was still a bit chilly. I am so jealous of all these other bloggers, and all of you who are beginning to experience a real summer. I'll be here posing in Winter worthy outfits for the next few months, until August rolls around and San Francisco sees it's "Summer." I mean... it's raining today... no fun.

Blazer, Blouse, Shorts, and Shoes: Anthropologie (that's a lot). Bag: Vintage.

Trend-Spotting: Dip-Dye

Whether it be a bleached denim button up, ombre tee, sunset print dress, or psychedelic, yet chic, tie-dye piece, dip-dye fabrics and attire are so in for the summer. I love the casual look that the color-scheme offers, while still keeping things intriguing. Won't you join the dip-dye party?
