Summer Feels

Hi guys! Sorry I have been a little quite on the site lately. I have had family visiting a lot this month and have been thoroughly enjoying our time. Nonetheless, we did find some time to shoot this look last night.

Thursday's Things

 

I want to show you guys some of my favorite go-to pieces each week & I am going to start it off this week with one of my favorite druzy cuffs by Love Tatum & the watch I wear basically everyday by Larsson & Jennings. 

I am sure many of you have seen these watches on other bloggers via Instagram and it is one I have wanted for such a long time! I finally decided to go for it, because it is somewhat affordable for a watch. I honestly wear it almost every day and receive compliments all the time! It has a big face but is SIMPLE & not over cluttered with crystals or smaller dials on the background.

Also, this beautiful cuff is a black druzy cuff from my friend Tatum’s jewelry line, Love Tatum. I picked this one up at her last sample sale and find myself wearing it all the time. Her pieces are always well-made, timeless pieces that add a bit of pizazz to your outfit. One of my favorite ways to get dressed is to put on an all black outfit, good shoes, good bag, and then top it off with some awesome gold jewelry.

//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. 

// 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.

//BLACK VELVET//

Black velvet. Enough said. I have always been kind of obsessed with velvet anything. Bodysuits, capes, couches, curtains, you name it. 

//COLOR OF FALL//

Although, I am currently crushing on an all white or off-white look for fall, I really tend to wear black, black, & more black during these cooler months. I tried to break up the monotony a bit by adding a little color with the blouse and a snake print shoe.

//GRAY DAYS//

Finally starting to feel like fall here in sunny San Diego! It was absolutely beautiful this past weekend, a little rain here & there but other than that a beautiful cool breeze and some sun sneaking through the clouds. Made me want to run to the closest store, buy pumpkins & spray paint them white & silver (planning on doing that this week!).

// LEATHER WEATHER //

All black ensembles are one of my all time favorites. There is just something clean and chic about wearing all black when the pieces are right. I like to mix different textures when doing a monochromatic look like this one, i.e. the faux leather skirt paired with a lightweight knit.

// LIGHTWEIGHT LAYERS //

Lightweight sweaters under jean jackets, or leather jackets, has become one of my favorite combos as of right now...
