Summer Cropped


Lately, I'd been dying to get a cute white crop top. This one is from free people, as is the bralette underneath. Over it, I've apired an Ubran Outfitters denim button-up and J. Crew salmon polka-dotted shorts with a leather Nautica belt.. I've been moving, so ignore the mess in the photos!

Spring to Summer

I love this romper. I got it at T-Shirt Orgy in Berkeley for a steal! I threw my Gap navy blazer and some oxfords on and added some gold jewelry! I took a quick snapshot to share! Sorry about the low photo quality!

High Wasted Shorts

My new love: high wasted shorts. It's been really hard for me to find good pairs for my curvy figure. While high wasted clothes are usually flattering on hourglass figures, I was having a near impossible time shopping at stores like urban outfitters. But I found 3 pairs of ADORABLE high wasted shorts at Anthropologie recently and I'm in love with each one of them. Today I'm wearing these Daughters of the Liberation dragonfly shorts with a white camisole tucked in, gray boyfriend sweater, navy oxfords and my turtle necklace, with lots of rings, long Lia Sophia link earrings and braids pinned back in my hair. They're swishy like a skirt and are cute and feminine while still allowing you the ease of shorts.

Low Maitenence Spa Day Outfit


Easy to put on and take off in between treatments, easy to have a swimsuit under for the jacuzzi and easy and comfy for pedicures! This is a forever 21 romper, with hat and denim button down from Urban Outfitters. Cheap and 70s chic.

Animal Jewelry



I just love jewelry with animals on it. I feel like the animals you choose really says something about you. I had a friend once who said that she wore at least 1 animal on her every day. She had the most amazing locust earrings. Here's a few of my favorite pieces! -C
