What a year it’s been! 2015 was the best year of my life so far.

We traveled a lot (New York twice, Palm Springs several times, Arizona, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Mexico…) got married and bought a house! It’s been pretty non-stop and I’m not going to lie, I’m looking forward to slowing down a bit in 2016.

I wanted to share my favorite photos from the blog this year. You can click on any image for the original blog post.

Thank you so much for continuing to follow my journey. Have a safe and happy New Year!

Over the last week our temperatures dropped a lot. It feels like we’ve skipped fall and gone straight into winter, at least for this Southern California girl. When I leave for work in the early mornings (at 5:30 am when it’s still dark) it’s super cold so I’m always grabbing a cozy coat or jacket on my way out. It’s a fun change from our never-ending summer, that’s for sure!

I wanted to share my favorite outerwear pieces right now. So many cute ones keep popping up and they’re too good to keep to myself.

I just got this long gray one and you’ve seen me wear this super comfortable light trench here. This one is a lot lighter but still a great layering piece and the striped sleeves on this one make such a fun statement.

Thanks for stopping by – enjoy your day!

I can’t believe how fast this year is going by, before we know it we’ll be in the thick of the holidays! So crazy. Anyway I wanted to give a little update from photos I posted on my instagram recently in case you’re not following there. I regularly share photos of my every day outfits that don’t always make the blog.

I get cold pretty much anywhere and always have to make sure I have a jacket or sweater with me. This jacket is my life savor right now because it’s light, but just enough to layer over so I don’t shiver the day away in an air conditioned office. And priced at under $20 it’s really something you can’t pass up.

But enough about that, let’s talk about the best part of my outfit… this floral romper. To me the print screamed festival so I took it for a test drive at the Newport Beach Food and Wine Festival over the weekend. Did you see my instagrams or snaps from the fest? Jeff and I had so much fun bopping around with Nikki and Kathleen. Always a lot of laughter with those girls and their significant others. 🙂

Thank you so much for reading – I hope your day is great!

Since the official start of fall is right around the corner it’s finally time to start changing things up. I can’t quite go full on fall everything just yet but I am leaning towards trends that are more appropriate for the season.

My favs?

• Skirts – specifically button front skirts but I’m partial to all lately.
• Plaid tops that aren’t your basic plaid shirt.
• Dresses with warm autumn colors.
• Fringe anything.

Chambray shirts are my life rafts. Anytime I’m in a wardrobe jam and don’t know what to wear I throw one on and feel instantly cool. There’s something so effortless yet still polished about them. I have a few different washes in my closet, but this one has been my long time favorite. It fits true to size (I’m wearing a 0 for reference) and is just so comfortable. I may be guilty of sleeping in it once or twice.

On another note, how are we almost through August? I feel like summer just started and now everywhere I look I’m seeing fall transitional pieces. I’m not quite ready for that yet. Not to mention where I live it will be HOT until November.  So strap in for my endless summer wardrobe. I may throw on a plaid shirt, denim jacket or booties here and there, but I’m not about to be sweating in seasonally inappropriate clothing for the sake of blog photos. 😉
