Navy & Coral

I really love coral it's just so happy and bright. When you pair with a classic like navy it's a breath of fresh air. Here is my navy and coral wishlist.

1. From Fossil, I know this a little more on the orange side but its a nice bright transition into fall
2. From Anthropologie, I love it as a stripe combo paired with a floral pattern
3. From EardropsByLacey, also looks great with gold
4. From Gap, I like the color combo as solids paired together

Fall Fashion List: Moto Jacket

When mid August rolls around I start getting a bit giddy for Fall fashion season! I love darker colors and being able to wear jackets and scarfs and boots, which is kind of big deal after surviving the Texas heat. Every Fall, I get kinda obsessed with the idea of a moto jacket and then I never end up finding one, but this is going to be the year! The silhouette has been around awhile and I really like the different material options that are out there this season.

                Dressy & Edgy

This black  jacket is from Target! I like the lace overlay and sleeves it gives it a dressy feel but the zippers and cut are still edgy.

      Tough & Comfy

This jacket is from Gap, it looks kind of like a tweed but it's terrycloth like a sweatshirt. I like the contrast details.

Military details

This green and black one is from Target as well, it is a knit stretchy fabric. I love the hardware details and the epaulettes at the shoulder, I'm a sucker for military details.

tried and true

There's also something to be said for the tried and true approach, this leather one from asos has traditional stitching detail on the shoulders and angled side zippered pockets.

What fashion are you excited about for Fall?

Mix and Match

I really like my mint capri pants from Target, and I recently got some cute summer tops from Gap.
I wanted to do a post on a few items, mixing and matching to maximize your wardrobe.


 Outfit 1: Polka Dot Tank from Gap Mint Capris from Target earrings from Target

Polka dots are perfect for summer

The other outfit has a short sleeve top that I got at Target a year or so ago, I love that the subtle crochet overlay that dresses up the otherwise plain tee. I love Navy paired with Mint lately.

  Outfit 2: Navy Crochet Top(old Target, similar here) Mint Capris from Target earrings from Target

I'm hoping to post more outfits soon, what do you love wearing this summer?

Floral Sweater

It feels like I haven't blogged in forever......work has been really busy and this week has been devasting between Boston and West, it's reminded me to be deliberate in action and let the people I care about know how much I care every time I see them.

On a lighter note, I've been meaning to write this outfit post for quite a while and share my favorite spring flowers... the ranunculus, it kinda reminds me of a poppy mixed with a rose....they are kinda finicky and I have not really had success with them in the past, but this year we bought bulbs at Costco (yes that's right) and they came up without a problem :)

 Here is my awesome new sweater that I stumbled upon at where else but Target. I really like this floral print that they have this season, it's available in traditional items like tops, pants and bags. I think the print really gets showcased in the unexpected construction of the sweater. It's traditional from the front and spring time fun in the back.

Sweater: Target Merona brand(sorry it's no longer on the website, similar here) Top: Gap(similar here) Capris also from Target on sale now. If you really like the floral print, they have it available in other items.

I hope everyone has a great rest of their weekend :)

Shoe Love

I know most girls can relate to "love at first sight" when it comes to shoes. It doesn't happen to me very often but when does I get a little obsessed and start planning outfits around the shoes. This latest shoe crush is truly a wearable work of art.

Yes, I drew a fun little doodle

I think what I really love about these shoes is the mix of materials: the suede, the watercolor print, and the cork. The elements play off each other and compliment one another in an unexpected way. What can I say, I'm a sucker for water color prints, Impressionism is my favorite genre of painting and I'm often wearing Vera Wang's watercolor prints. I also love the tiny curve around the front opening it's so adorably retro.


This lovely shoe is by Tracy Reese and available (at where else) Anthropologie. What's even better it comes in two very different colorways. A playful weekend one, and a little more serious work appropriate one. Bright colors are my favorite so I'm pretty sure if I had to pick only one pair it would be the bright ones, but I really like the blush/gray combo too. But alas I am not coordinated enough for 3.5" heels and I'm already 5.9" tall so I'm pretty sure I would feel ridiculous towering over everyone.

On to the outfits:

These shoes have so much wonderfulness going on it's best to let them take the focal point of the outfit. I think a simple black dress is a safe option, the contrast would really make them stand out.

from asos

I also like a nice cobalt blue mixing with the green suede of the shoe.

from gap

 

The other colorway, the gray and blush could dressed up or down.

from anthro

This next dress is probably a little to matchy, but I love it anyway, Supyana has been one of my favorite designer for quite a while and her prints and her attention to detail are awesome.

Which color do you like better? Got your eye on a cute pair of shoes? Happy Wednesday!
