Stranger Things Tee + Denim Skirt FTW

When our daughter was born, we received so many lovely gifts from family and friends.  From sentimental handmade pieces to thoughtfully selected items, it made us all feel so loved.  One of my dear blogger friends Lisa of Pretty Little Shoppers put together a care package for us of Eleven themed pieces.  Among them was this rad t-shirt for my husband.  The reality is that whoever claims it from the washed laundry first gets to wear it.  And I’m happy to say I’m quite speedy in this endeavor – hah!

If I had to break my “uniform” down the core, it really is about cool tees and great denim.  This summer I returned to the denim skirt – something I hadn’t worn since my college days – and I love it.  Belted with the partial tuck, it looks chic and edgy.

These furry sandals were a find from Pink Lagoon in Solana Beach and are sooooo comfortable.  They make me smile every time I wear them because let’s face it, they are rather muppet-like in the best way possible.

And for those of you that helped weigh in on my sunglasses debate, thank you!  These beauties were the winner and thanks to Nordstrom Notes found their way into my closet.  Funny side note to the day I purchased them… I was considering a Gucci pair and as I was leaving Nordies, two men wearing head-to-toe Gucci (including said sunglasses) followed me out.  At first I took it as some kind of weird karmic sunglasses moment, but in the end I’m so happy I went with these.

As the Nordstrom SA said, “The Celine’s are chic, the Gucci’s are attitude.”  I’ll take chic any day of the week.

Polka Dots for Summer

June 19, 2017

With summer in full swing, my signature denim hasn’t been getting as much rotation.  The past two weekends in Southern California have been picture perfect beach days, so I’ve been reaching more for dresses and skirts. Get ready to start seeing a lot of these feminine silhouettes (with an edge, of course) in the weeks to come!

First up is this chic polka dot number from Vocabulary.  A classic pattern reinvented for today, I about died when I first saw it on Cecelia.  Flirty, feminine and chic, it honestly looks exactly like an Alaïa but it’s under $100.  The knit fabric makes it perfect for daytime with sandals and a straw bag, and because it’s a substantial weight, it can easily transition to night with some heels and a bold lip.

For this OOTD, I opted for the nighttime route and paired it with my go-to handbag (check below for an under $70 version) and delicate ankle-tie pumps.  Twirling my way through a bougainvillea lined street, it made me feel like Diane Lane in Under the Tuscan Sun going off to meet Paolo.  Lucky for me, my Italian man is just behind the camera.  Can’t you just picture it walking the seaside streets of Cinque Terre?!

San Diego ladies and gents, stay tuned for some fabulous summer events in the works with Vocabulary.  Last year we hosted an epic pool party, and this year we’re not to be outdone!  Mark your calendars for a quintessential San Diego experience in mid-August.  There will be yummy sips + bites, a shopping experience like no other, and of course, fab company.  Be sure to check back for more details coming soon!
