Fresh Mint

Shirt: Fun 2 Fun | Shorts: F21 | Feather Clutch: The Limited 

I can't believe it's already Monday again... barf. Now that that statement is out of the way, one of my favorite things to do right now is color block. I especially like this combo of mint and coral (I know it looks like orange in the pic). And I could seriously just live in shorts. They're one of my favorite things about summer. I decided to do a little night shoot to show you guys how to incorporate shorts into a night out outfit. By adding a sheer button up and some heels you can really dress up some regular denim cut offs. You could even throw them on with a blazer and you'll be perfectly dressed for a saturday night out without looking like you're trying too hard. Now on to the tequila and embarrassing karaoke...

Lime Sherbert


Shirt: Zara (similar here) | Pants: Madewell | Wedges: Zara | Necklace: Urban Outfitters

I stole this house covered in pretty flowers and a white picket fence to take pics in front of this weekend. Let’s just pretend it’s mine. It went well with my bright lime green muscle tank and white jeans.
I had a chance to work on my tan this weekend. Hope you guys did too! AND I didn’t do one minute of shopping!…I have to say I’m pretty proud of my self control. I could hear Ventura Blvd calling my name!

Happy Monday!
Xoxo

Pink Pom Poms

Shirt: American Apparel // Skirt: Random // Suede Heels: Steve Madden // Necklace: Forever 21


 Such a beautiful weekend! We had the perfect venue and weather to host a good friends bridal shower on Saturday down in La Jolla. Flowers and pink pom poms were everywhere. I wore this high wasted bright pink skirt and paired it with a burgundy chiffon top with poofy sleeves to take full advantage of getting to dress super girly for the event.

Styling tip: If you have bright colored bottom (skirt, pants... whatever) instead of paring it with the usual white or black top pick another color that compliments it and really makes your outfit unique and unexpected. People will notice!

Outfit To Go








Jeans: Madewell // Shirt: Kaitlyn // Bracelets (From left): Dowtown LA, BrandyMelville, Downtown LA, King Fisher Road, and the purple I made myself!


I wore my new minty-lime jeans to work today and wanted to show you guys my outfit… so on my lunch break a snapped a few shots myself as I was trying to stuff my face with cheese and chips (hence the not-so-great quality of the pics). Sorry there isn’t a head to toe pic…my arms aren’t that long.
I love my arm candy today! I got some new bracelets this past weekend and threw them all on at once. You can never have too many.
I rolled up the jeans at the bottom for a more casual, undone look and paired them with this blue top instead of black or white which would have been much more obvious choices. I’m really eating up all the colored jeans and shorts so easily available lately!

Cost savings tip: I got these jeans for $125 at Madewell, but head to the American Eagle website and find an almost identical pair for less than half the price! I’ll be getting my next colored pair there fo sho.

Two Faced








I got to take a little break and work from home today. Sure is nice to sit on a couch instead of an office chair once in a while! Plus, I had some time to run a few errands I never seem to have time to squeeze in. I decided to throw on this black/cream sheer button up since it may be a little inappropriate for the office if you know what i mean... I picked it up at Forever 21 this past weekend. I love how its completely black in the front and cream in the back. They only had one large left but it worked when I hiked it up a little a lot with my studded JCrew belt. I got the neon shoulder bag from Forever too! They had tons of new stuff and lots of neon! It was amazing actually (and a little embarrassing) how much money I spent there. Heels are Madden Girl, my Michael Kors watch of course, gold ring from the flea market and black bracelet from my sister's wedding. Bracing for the rain tomorrow!!!
