 Somehow it's already Wednesday guys! Hump day...already. I love short weeks. Hope you all had an awesome 4th. We spent ours at the beach - can't keep me away for too long. It was the 50th anniversary of the Ocean Beach pier being built so I felt like that made it just a tad bit more special. I can't believe summer is about halfway over. How does that even happen? I thought it just started. Eh, anyhow. On another note, I am absolutely in LOVE with this linen top from Aussie brand Eva's Sunday.

//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.

//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. 

//STRIPES ON REPEAT//

Stripes on repeat. I have always had a love affair with stripes and it is kinda stronger than ever right now.

//BLACK VELVET//

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

//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!).

//STAPLES//

Staples. As in wardrobe staples, not the office supply store...As I refine my wardrobe I am trying to keep a closet full of classic pieces that I can mix and match.

//SUEDE//

Suede has been a huge trend the past few seasons and this fall it is stronger than ever. It plays into the 60's-70's trends as many pieces from that era are done in suede.

NYFW Street Style Fall 2015

Almost as exciting as viewing all of the new collections from each season’s fashion week is checking out the unique choices of some of our favorite street style mavens. I’ve compiled some of the most lust-worthy street style looks that have popped up so far from NYFW. 

S T R I P E S | F L O R A L S

Surprise, Surprise! I was sweating my bum off in this outfit today. I figured, well since it is January I might be able to get away with wearing a crop turtleneck and pants. In fact I thought I would even be a bit chilly, but the weather gods didn't have that in store for me today. Another sunny, beautiful, day and how can you help not to smile? The sunshine definitely keeps me happy!

I ordered these pants & their matching peplum top back in October but lately have been having a bit of fun pairing them with different tops such as this Reformation crop turtleneck. Although I usually don't wear a lot of prints (I tend to stick to solids, black and white mostly), I enjoy a good stripe/floral combo every once in a while.
