Bandana Blue

Wearing: Joe's jeans , J.Crew shirt, Asos shoes, Oliver Peoples sunglasses c/o Seaside Luxe,

Bandana blue, yep. It has been flying around the fashion world this season ever since the color (and print) walked the runway back in September. As we know, my sartorial ways of dressing involves two colors; white and blue and menswear pieces. An over-sized oxford is my superstar of casual dressing- works from beach days to city nights and everything in between. Borrow it from your boyfriend or in my case, buy it a few sizes up . These Joe's Jeans have worn been plenty already, like here with more blue. So predictable, I am. That's what I call a uniform.

Wearing: Reformation dress, Joie sandals, Oliver Peoples sunglasses c/o Seaside Luxe

Despite the unpredictable weather, my closet has made a full transition to Spring (or what is left of it). Lately, this Reformation dress has been quite the star standout. As you guys can tell, I am big fan of their pieces and this dress is no different. I'm quite shocked on how much wear its been getting, varying from Easter to a few days ago when paired with a denim shirt. Due to the semi-permanent arctic blast wearing a dress this past weekend without a jacket was dare I say, liberating. Alas, all my regards to Reformation for creating the perfect dress. I'll be back to find a runner up.

Laid-Back

Wearing: Heidi Merrick shorts c/o, Madewell denim jacket, Topshop sweater (last seen here), Superga sneakers, Celine bag, KJP bracelet c/o

Since the weather has finally varied out, shorts are on full rotation. Heidi Merrick is one of my favorite Cali-based brands. All her clothes are unique and can be worn no matter what coast you currently reside on. Yet, we all secretly want to be driving up the coast of Malibu or enjoying the crisp air of San Francisco. Oh and I wouldn't mind wearing this head to toe assemble.

Taking another spin at revamping my weekend get-ups, this time incorporating (vegan) leather. The tri-fecta of denim, sneakers, and stripes is still here but this time a surfer cool thanks to Heidi. 

Now, does someone want to book me a ticket heading west?

Formulaic

Wearing: Vineyard Vines dress c/o (similar, similar), Urban chambray (lighter wash), Rebecca Minkoff bag, Comme Des Garçons x Converse sneaks, vintage Sunglasses

As it's completely  obnoxiously obvious by now, stripes are my favorite print to wear. A stripe dress can become your best friend when it comes to weekend dressing. Having it be a classic item, it can be challenging to mix it up and put your own personal spin. I tend to go with an overall blue and white palette (with a pop of red... 'Murica). A dark wash chambray cinches the waist and adds texture which is most definitely a win-win. Tousled hair and minimal makeup finish of the formula for weekend dressing.

A few other combinations I love for a stripe number:

 denim vest + slip on sneaks

cinched waist + open trench + hi-tops

white blazer + bandanna style scarf + d'orsay flats

Striped Legs

Wearing: Mango pants, Zara sweater, Comme des Garçons x Converse sneakers, Madewell trench (old, similar), Chanel bag

I am not sure why I am drawn to these pants so much. I wore them all day on Saturday and I was told I resembled a clown, beetlejuice and Robin Thicke- quite a statement pant if I say so myself. Alas my friends, I am not one to jump up and down for printed pants but I have slowly gravitated towards them. Simply put, these pajama trousers has stolen my heart and you know I cannot resist stripes of any kind. Along with my new favorite converse and neutral basics it became the perfect outfit for the weekend.

On another note, did you guys tune into the Oscars last night? I rarely live tweet award shows but I had a blast last night on Twitter. Who do you think was best dressed? Kate, Lupita, Olivia, and Emma looked flawless in my opinion. And I cannot not talk about that #epicselfie and pizza party. Be sure to come back tomorrow for a full Oscar recap. 

From the Weekend

Urban Oufitters Blazer (old) // Current/Elliott Jeans // Splendid Tee // Loeffler Randall Bag // Jack Rodger Sandals // Bauble Bar and Madewell Rings // Ray Ban Sunglasses

It's quite funny how sometimes you just don't wear certain pieces of clothes. This month, I haven't been wearing jeans a ton. Except this past weekend, it was pretty much all I wore. On Saturday, I went for a simple look that I love to wear; jeans, tee, and blazer. There are so many different styles that these items come in (edgy,chic,classic...). For me, I tend to stay in the more classic/chic range. A summery color palette was necessary, along with  some of my favorite neutral accessories. I wore a bright Splendid tee, that is insanely soft! Distressed jeans add instant edge to any look.  I topped the look with a crisp, white blazer to make the weekend look more streamlined. The blazer was such a good deal and I definitely need to get more wear out of it! See below for more easy jeans/tee/blazer picks!

May Vibes

I'm seriously in shock that it's May?! Summer is right away the corner- I only have 17 more days of school! Last month, I did a post on everything I felt inspired by. I thought I would do another one for May, let me know if you like them! This month, I am loving fresh flowers, Sunday brunch, and effortless style. By the way, have you checked out the Bauble Bar x Honestly... WTF collection? Can't wait to add a few pieces to my jewelry collection! Hope you have a great weekend. xx

Floral Shirtdress

Club Monaco Shirtdress // Vince Sandals // Urban Outfitters Sunglasses // Design Darling Monogrammed iPhone Case

 // Julie Vos Bangles c/o // Loren Hope Link Bracelet // Bauble Bar Cuff // Hermes Bracelet // Urban Outfitters Spike Bracelet // Catbird "Star" Ring

I have always loved a good shirtdress. They are  perfect for the days when you want to look put together without tons of effort. I fell in love with this printed Club Monaco dress.  It cinches a little bit at the waist and the length is just right. Shirtdresses are also great for traveling. This August, my family and I going to Provence and St.Tropez for vacation. An easy shirtdress will be ideal for touring and walking around! You can pair them with easy flats and straw tote for day. At night, switch out flats for heeled sandals, and add a few baubles. I've included a few shirtdresses that I love below!
