transitional







This is one of my outfits from my trip to Paris earlier this summer and it also works perfectly for the transition from summer to fall- layering is key! It was still pretty chilly there so I loved this J.crew military jacket because it's light weight and a good wind-breaker. Converse are always my travel go-to because they are cute and comfy for walking around everywhere.  The striped tee is an old Vince one that I borrowed from my mom... Here is a similar one. The Stella & Dot necklace/bracelets are also old but I love/want this new necklace and this new bangle paired with my forever-favorite Michael Kors watch. My grandma graciously got me the ring pictured from a boutique on a random Paris street that we came across on our walking tour of the city- I love how simple it is! These Joes jeans are my absolute favorites- they feel like pajamas but don't look like jeggings. This Michael Kors purse was a purchase for my trip because I needed a good staple to go with everything... and it was perfect! Lastly, I wear these gradient Ray Bans everyday- they are especially flattering for blondes.

Engraved




I love the new Stella & Dot Engravables... you can customize dog tags and other fun items! They aren't crazy expensive but they look beautiful. The chain is also fun because its really sparkly which is unusual for a ball-chain. I added two fun charms from the local San Diego boutique Pink Lagoon. This is a great all-year jewelry piece that is so simple and goes with everything since you can mix it up, add charms, put it on a short chain, etc.! For work I paired it with a Rebecca Taylor simple silk top (similar here), white Paige jeans, my favorite silver/gold Sam Edelman flats (light gold), and two David Yurman bangles. Engrave away!
