//WINTER FLORAL//

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! I am easing back into the week in a floral mini and fluffy jacket. Normally I stick to a pretty minimalistic color palette; black, white, tan, stripes, etc. I am working on breaking out of that monotonous routine by adding more print & color into my wardrobe. I will always be a sucker for black & white but I love having fun and experimenting with new looks!

//UNEXPECTED PAIRINGS//

Adding a little coziness to my Monday look....

//BUNDLED UP//

This scarf is literally eating my head and I love it! I have been bundling up in huge oversized knits lately and remaining oh-so comfortable.

Shop the trend // OTK Boots

One trend that I cannot get enough of right now are over the knee boots. They seriously go with everything from feminine floral dresses to skinny jeans with a chunky knit.

If you are a little hesitant about trying this style, I would recommend snagging a pair without a heel. After you get comfortable wearing the flat version of these boots you can move onto something with a little added height. Right now, that is where I am at in my OTK boot journey. I started off with the Stuart Weitzman 'lowland' boots last winter and I have been wearing them so much lately, sometimes I have to make it a point to not wear them.

//CASUAL MONDAYS//

For the most part I try to wear things that I am truly comfortable in. It is the worst when you have to constantly adjust your outfit or can't move your arms. That's why on the weekends I take full advantage of comfort and throw on some sneakers, ripped jeans, and a t-shirt. Have to get my comfort casual looks in when I can!

We’ve all seen it; the super stylish girl who looks effortlessly pulled together wearing a monochrome color palette. And if you've tried it yourself, you know it isn’t always as easy as it seems. Sometimes, when you have the right wardrobe essentials to pull from or have a good idea of what pieces work well together, it can be a fun and easy process. Other times, it seems easier to throw up your hands in frustration and opt for your “uniform” or go-to outfit you know works. That can be great and all but sometimes you want to challenge your personal style and try new looks. Keep reading for some tips that can help you pull off that effortless monochromatic look this fall.

//CHUNKY KNITS & BLACK RIPS//

Sometimes I wonder how I ever managed the freezing temps in the midwest. I think this day it was in the mid 60's in sunny San Diego and I was literally freeeeezing. Okay maybe not freezing, but you know...really really cold. 

//CALIFORNIA CAMEL//

I am loving November. Cooler temps mean the ability to layer up a bit which can be so much fun.

//IT'S A GIRL THING//

Feeling kinda' girly in this, yet again, black & white get up. Sorry for the lack of color- promise I am planning some pops of color & prints in upcoming looks. However, black & white can be such an easy pairing when you aren't really sure what to wear.

// THE LBD //

November in Southern California calls for a LBD. When fall rolls around I love wearing an all black ensemble. As you have seen I am not against wearing all black in the summer either, but I guess it is more fitting now that it is fall/winter.
