Belled Blues

It's no secret that blue is my favorite color... but blue in combination with my favorite trend - bell sleeves?! It's a recipe for an overload obsession. This top is by ONE WAY, sold by LF stores and I am absolutely more than obsessed. Find similar ones here or head over to your nearest LF.

Casually Coined

Ankle-cut booties are my go-to shoe for the Spring and Summer season and considering Spring has officially commenced here in the always sunny California, it was time to pull out my favorite pair. I've had these American Rag cut-out booties since last year and I got them just before going to Coachella (a music festival here in the US that happens once a year). The taupe hue makes them so easy to pair with almost any outfit.

Waxed denim has been my every-day jean choice lately and seems to be popular with just about everyone else. The "skinny" fit combined with the waxed finish help elongate the look of my not-so-long legs. I find that any time I feel like looking a bit taller than 5 feet, I run off in these! Notice the black strap in the photo above this one? Well, I decided to wear my new favorite sports bra underneath this razorback tank! It is a black meshed-covered bra that looked perfect peaking out through the side. Exact can be found here - take a look!

Coins, coins, coins! Coined necklaces and jewelry have been flooding my instagram feed! This silver turkish coin bib was the perfect way to complement the silver buckles on the side of my cut out booties. I came across this beautiful piece while I was shopping at my favorite store in Laguna Beach, Ca. and for those of you who aren't able to make the trip to the beautiful California Coast, this exact necklace can be found here. Oh and p.s. this necklace will definitely make it's way to Cocahella 2015 with me... can't wait!

No Time for Fall

100 degrees in September? I'll take it!
I've never been one to like the cold weather so I guess I can say that growing up in Southern California has been quite ideal. Typically around this time, the transition between Summer & Fall, I struggle in terms of wardrobe choice. I have always had a rough time deciding if my summer favorites are still acceptable or if I should pull out my riding boots and sweaters. Luckily this weather makes the decision for me... If it's hot enough for me to break some sweat, I guess that means that crop tops and high waisted soft shorts are still a-ok!

Shades of Cool

Shades of blue are my absolute favorite, especially when it comes to wardrobe choice. Blue is a color that I feel isn't shy to any season and can be worn year-round. This summer, which happened to be the hottest in history, was the perfect summer to own a pair of turquoise blue aviators. I found that regardless of their extremely noticeably bright hue, I was able to incorporate them with almost every outfit (or at least, I did it anyway!) With this ensemble, I tried to go for a laid back bohemian feel. The off-the-shoulder top was bell-sleeved (so 1970 of me) paired with tulip styled shorts and tan colored sandals.
