In Need of Some Inspiration
Untitled from Tim Walker on Vimeo.
This week has started with getting bogged down with details. Hectic schedules mixed with the day to day busy life stuff left me with a headache......I was in dire need of some inspiration. Flipping through Vogue I was in awe of the photography by Tim Walker. Tim Walker is a very famous photographer for Vogue and I love his stylistic view from the lens. He has a romantic and whimsical way of viewing fashion.
Where do you get your creative inspiration?

Last Days of Summer
With September fast approaching I am already thinking of how I can incorporate some of my summer wardrobe into fall. I came up with this color story as a transitional color palette from August into September. I love the basic colors of navy, sand and caramel with the pop of orange. I plan on adding orange into my wardrobe for fall, check back next week when I post my must-haves for fall.

Happy Belated Fourth of July
Happy belated fourth of July!! We spent the long weekend in Sacramento and San Francisco visiting my best friend and her husband. We went berry picking and filled up on blueberries and cherries. We made a berry crisp and had dinners on their roof! Most nights were spent bike riding and staying up late chatting. On the forth we drove to the city and went to a Giants game. Although the Giants lost, we were content eating our chocolate malts and soaking up the city. We ended the night in Little Italy with a wonderful dinner and an amazing fireworks show.
How did you celebrate the fourth of July?

June Gloom
With all this June gloom weather I am trying to think of new ways to layer. The sweater is from Calypso and the darling desert boots are from L.L. Bean. You heard me right....L.L. Bean launched a new signature line that is hip and trendy, move over mom jeans, LL Bean Signature has some great stuff at a price point that won't break the bank.

Sailing Inspiration
Lately I have been inspired by all things nautical. I love stripes in every color and the beautiful textures of the sailing ropes. I loved this dress and the simplicity of it mixed with the shiny gold cuff bracelet. I absolutely adore these black flats with gold detailing. Now that I have the perfect sailing outfit, where should I sail to?? My husband gets mad when I post stuff about sailing and outfits because realistically I am wearing a windbreaker and sneakers. However, in my mind, I would be wearing this outfit sailing off the Amalfi coast.
Where would you sail to?

Spring Must Haves
I don't know about you but I am getting a little tired of all the jeans and sweaters lately and am looking forward to spring! A few must have's this year are a pair of classic trousers with a big cuff like the ones above from J.Crew! I love the 70's feel that is making a come back this Spring. The Anthropologie dress is nautical in stripes but pops an unexpected color of tea rose which is... oh so pretty! I also love the quirky twist on the pearl necklace mixed with chains.
What is on your must have list this Spring?

Lazy Saturday Morning
It's no secret that my favorite indulgences is a french bakery here in town. Every Saturday morning you can find me there with a cup of coffee talking with girlfriends or with my husband. Renaud's has the best almond croissants, and vanilla lattes. Being there makes me dream of living in France where I could have croissants for every meal! Among other things I love is this adorable outift by Toast, the ankle boots are to die for! The clutch is from Etsy, handmade from an old french grain sack!

About A Shoe
Working in the shoe business I have become somewhat of a lover of shoes! I am amazed by the craftsmanship of the shoe and all the details that go into a shoe, it truly is an art. I have come to appreciate leathers and materials in a whole new way once you see them on a shoe. I love this video J.Crew shared about their trip to Italy.
What do you think?

Oh BHLDN, Bestow my Heart
Hello Lovely readers, I have been getting a lot of questions on what I think of Anthropologie's wedding website that launched on Valentine's Day.....only one word amazing! I have known about this since last year when I worked for the company and have had to keep it a secret all this time!! Now that the word is out I couldn't be more delighted, just as I expected BHLDN is whimsical, romantic and holds everything a girl could hope for in a wedding. I seriously thought about delaying our wedding a year just so I could have an Anthro wedding. However we managed to survive and plan our own whimisical wedding, you can see pictures here.....

Utilitarian Chic
After a dreary day today, I had the urge to get inspired for Spring. I am ready for sandals and fell head over heel in love with these wedges. I love the buckle detailing and mix of neutrals with a utilitarian feel. The dress is from Emersonmade, a crafty adorable girl who started her own clothing line, she has impeccable style and major talent.

A Sea of Neutrals
Lately I have been inspired by all things neutral in tone or hues of chocolate. I love the natural color palette whether decorating for your home or layering clothing. A couple key pieces such as this classic trench coat and belt is all you need to complete your winter wardrobe and take you away from the winter blues.

Suit It Up
I had a dear friend ask me how to update the traditional suit. Tired of blazers, wide-leg trousers and heels... she was looking for a twist on the modern day suit. I did a little research and found that there are small things you can do to tweak the suit to give it a hip feel and still look professional. The first picture shows a blazer worn open with a more casual unbuttoned blouse. A styling tip as simple as rolling up the sleeves and leaving a blouse a bit open gives more of a relaxed feel instead of feeling stuffy. The wide leg trouser pant has been replaced with a slimmer straight leg. This look creates clean lines. Notice the skinny belt and how they tied it under instead of using the belt loops, another great styling trick. Lastly when you are sick of pants, dress it up with a tailored dress. Remember to belt it and don't forget to bring the great accessories. Don't be afraid to pop some colors into your grey suit, add some fun yellow earrings. Spice up your button down blouse with layers of chains to give the office look a bit of an edge. Lastly this season's biggest look for fall is the tie up bootie. This darling shoe is comfortable and can be worn with skinny jeans and a tunic for casual Fridays! Hope this helps for all the ladies workin the 9-5 that need a refresh from the drab suit!

3rd Annual Fall Day
I have always loved the fall, so three years ago I decided to make up a holiday called "Fall Day". I try to always make Fall Day within the first two weeks of October. Each year I get excited about this holiday and think of new ways to expand upon it. This year I tried to make Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte from scratch. A bit tricky but tasted yummy. Fall day always includes a trip to the pumpkin patch and a run through the corn maze. My traditional dinner is creamy butternut squash pasta. I decorate the house with squash, pumpkins and gourds. I am always thinking of new harvest decor and stumbled upon some great ideas from Martha Stewart.

A reader recently asked how she could have a work appropriate outfit and still look professional but also meet up with her friends later and not look like Ms. Frump from the office. I know how it is to rush from the office to happy hour and the last thing you want to think about is being frumpy. Here is an outfit that would transition nicely from office to fun. If I wasn't so tall those heels would be mine in a heartbeat!
