Style... in abundance

Life Lately

WOW.  Spring has completely flown by.  School is almost out for the summer, people are vacationing, life is moving.

Here’s what’s been going on in my Life Lately.

Life

Spring hit us hard with back-to-back colds, busy work schedules and weekend trips.  We attended Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim (yes, I am a nerd at heart), hit up Disneyland, spent time with family in Newport and are gearing up to switch schools this summer.

I’m really making an effort to be present, put my phone down and live life through my own eyes (and not a screen).

Fashion

I’ve been super into flare leg/wide leg jeans, matching sets and sunglasses.  This set is so pretty and can be mixed and matched.  These wide leg jeans are super light weight and perfect for summer.  And these are my new everyday go-to pair of jeans.

Here are some more of my recent purchases.

Beauty

I started using this facial oil and saw a dramatic improvement in my melasma, so I bought the rest of the line.  I just finished my first round and will definitely be continuing it.

What I’m Reading

I just picked up Dress Code and the prologue felt like the author was reading my mind.  It’s a collection of essays on fashion – why we wear what we wear, what it means to our psyche, how we use it to communicate.  I highly recommend it for other fashion lovers.

Fashion Friday

A lot happened in the fashion world this week.  The close of NYFW, the Met Gala (LOVED dialoguing with you about this on Instagram), and the first feeling of fall.

Today I want to share a few pieces I’m coveting and one I just acquired.

100% Cotton Denim

I’ve been admiring Victoria Beckham and Khaite’s denim for years.  Victoria recently posted these jeans on Instagram and I immediately fell in love.  I’m also pining over this pair from Khaite.  In my switch to only 100% cotton jeans, I think one of them may soon be coming home with me.

Loafers

I wore Dr. Marten’s all throughout middle and high school and I’m thrilled to see this trend returning.  I already own 3 pairs of black loafer-ish shoes, so I’m hoping to add either a brown or olive pair into the mix.  I love these, but also just purchased these and think they’re fab.

Sweater Vests

I know, another 90’s trend but one I’m really loving.  Especially for those of us in warmer climates, this is a super versatile fall staple.  I have my eyes on this one, but also love a traditional solid-colored vest in a fun fabric like mohair.

YSL Handbag

I pulled the trigger on this bag in vintage denim and ADORE it.  Check out it’s 80’s inspired Reel on Instagram.
