Feelin' Like Fall

Outfit details: Sweater: Vintage Stella McCartney, Jeans: Red Engine, Boots: Vince Camuto, similar)

Fall is becoming one of my favorite seasons. In San Francisco it's pretty warm and sunny during the day, but cool and crisp in the mornings and evenings. Just how I like it. Fall has always been my favorite season to dress for. Booties and sweaters are my jam. I think every girl needs a pair of boots she loves and an awesome go-to sweater. Here are some of my current sweater obsessions for this season.

Sweaters 

Stella McCartney- Asymmetrical Wool Sweater

If I were rich, this sweater would be my top choice. I am completely obsessed with this pale peach asymmetrical sweater by Stella McCartney. I tried it on, and was practically drooling. 

Vince- Shawl Collar Cardigan

I die for this sweater. It is beautiful. It is perfection. The color, the chunkiness, and the length. This sweater is perfect to keep you warm on your walk to work, would pair perfectly with a black top and skinnies on a night out, but also be the perfect sweater to cuddle up with in PJ's next to the fire place.

Club Monaco- Yasamin Sweater 

This sweater is perfect with some black skinnies and black booties. It is SUPER warm, so make sure you save it for a really chilly day.

Zara- Embroidered Sweater

How fun is this sweater? It is for sure a statement piece, and I just love the way it drapes. Throw this one of with trousers, with a pencil skirt & heels, or with skinnies and booties! It's super versatile. 

Vince- Colorblock Rib Circle Cardigan

This sweater is stunning. I purchased this for a client, and let me tell you it is worth every penny. It is so detailed and different. It makes the simplest outfit look trendy and fashionable. It's definitely a winner in my book.

A.L.C.- Saxton Sweater
This burnt orange knit is sooo perfect for Fall I can't even handle it. Look at the detail on the backside! It's perfect with some nude boots and light denim.

Club Monaco- Cristina Cashmere Cardigan

This sweater is perfect to toss over any simple outfit. Throw this sweater on and layer it with a chunky scarf and you're good to go!

Aritzia- Serment Sweater

I just love this color. Everyone needs a chunky pull-over sweater, and this one by Wilfred is awesome. Just a heads up this style will look better on your more athletic or straight up and down build rather than curvy!

Urban Outfitters- Sunny Surplice Sweater

I bought this sweater the other day and love it. It is perfect for work, lounging at home, or to throw over your yoga outfit.

Vince- Wool Blend Turtleneck

Turtlenecks are back and they're coming in strong. This winter white sweater is amazing. It makes an outfit, so feel free to dress it up or down with accessories.

GIRL DATE

San Francisco has so many cute cafe's, restaurants, and local shops to try out it can be tough to choose where to go. Last weekend I checked out Chantal Guillon, the perfect place for coffee and a sweet snack.

My friend Shannon and I have been collaborating a ton working on our blogs and taking photos together. We decided to get a little wild and enjoy some macaroons and soy latte's. Their macaroons are out of this world delicious. Our favorites were the salted caramel and Persian rose. If you're ever in SF, make sure you drop by!

Summertime Florals

It's summertime,  and who doesn't like to dress fun and flirty in the sun? This outfit is perfect for summer brunch, a picnic, or a coffee date with friends. Wear this top with cut off shorts, white jeans, or ripped light denim and you're off! This hat goes with just about everything!

Hat: Janessa Leone, Top: For Love & Lemons, Lip color: Kylie's Exposed

Good Vibes Only

Sometimes all you need is an awesome T-shirt. This Good Vibes shirt is SO fun and I love wearing it out and about. Right when I slide it on I immediately get a little pep in my step.

Top: Sub_urban Riot

Flannel: Rails La 

Shorts: mother denim

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell 

Sunnies: Quay

Can I Get An Amen?

My friend and I roamed around San Francisco and decided to be tourists in our own town. How amazing is this wall?
This outfit was simply perfect for a San Francisco summer. It's not too warm, so boots and a hat are completely appropriate.

10 Cute Swimsuits: For the ladies with a larger cup size

Alright- this one is a more personal post. I have a larger chest (thanks mom) and have had trouble finding the perfect bikini that is flattering. Don't get me wrong, my friends always comment when I wear a regular bikini saying I look fine, but I prefer to not let it all hang out and have too much attention on my chest when I am going to the beach. I have found that what works best for me is tie strings in the back and behind my neck, so I can make adjustments. I have been on a hunt for the perfect swimsuits for quite some time and I have found some really amazing ones. I hope this post can help you out if you deal with the same problems when shopping for swimwear.

Here are some of my favorites:

1. Luli Famia (Size D-F)- I got this one in the color Showstopper and I'm obsessed. I opted for the string bottoms, and I can't wait to wear this!

2. Lolli Swim- I love this athletic one piece. Who said one pieces had to be ugly? Throw on some ripped denim and you're good to go!

3. Beach Bunny- This lady lace bikini is super cute. I love that it is flattering and sexy, but not too much since it's black.

4. Vix- This swimsuit has fuller coverage if you size up. I like Vix and love that they make this bikini in a variety of colors.

5. Vitamin A- I bought this one in 2 colors, because it fits SO well. I love love love it. Try this one for yourself. Also note, it doesn't have to be worn like it is below. you can also adjust it to fit like a normal halter top.

 

6. Becca Virtue- This brand specializes in larger cup sizes. I love this brand because again, they have every color and size. Check them out!

7. Lolli Swim- This crop top is everything. It's water friendly and has great coverage. I also love the nude and white combo! 

8. Mara Hoffman- This one piece has GREAT coverage in the front. I know when I am at the beach and want to paddle board, play volleyball or do anything else active... I get a little insecure. This swimsuit will cover you up, without making you look like you have no style. I absolutely love this cut.

9. ASOS- (DD-F)- ASOS has a ton of swimsuits for large cup sizes. I like that it is affordable (most large tops are expensive) and that they are pretty cute. Some large tops are horrendous.  Make sure if you're going for a color like this, that you either a) get a spray tan or b) are tan. Otherwise you will look naked! 

10. Monday Swimwear- I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting this line to re-launch. They are coming out with a few suits for larger busts, and they are SO cute.

Fall Fashion: Styling For A Trip

I am completely guilty of packing things I don't need on vacations or trips. Sometimes it's fun to bring too much, but when you realize you bring a shirt that doesn't go with anything else in your suitcase it's a big NO NO. We don't want to be lugging around extra baggage through airports, on trains, and busses! 

I have recently gotten in to the habit of styling my outfits by photo. It seems like a lot of work, but to be honest it makes getting ready much easier! I know exactly what to pack, and exactly which jeans I want to wear with which sweater and what boots! 

Here are some of the outfits I'm bringing on my London trip! Notice that some are using the same items as previous photos (to make good use of what I can fit in my suitcase).

I will keep you updated on my trip, and also post outfit photos while I'm off exploring! 

Look of the day: Vests and Maxi's

Spring Fashion: Sunny Weekend Look

Lately I have been getting more requests for posts on what clothes I'm wearing, Makeup I'm wearing, where I get my hair done, along with the normal health and fitness questions I love to get.

It's time to start incorporating beauty and fashion in to my blogging.

Here's a great outfit for a nice sunny day out! Lately hats have been my thing, so why not go for a big floppy one! I chose this tank, because I love the sporty neckline. The shorts are super casual, but with the little heeled sandal it all comes together nicely!

Hat: Urban Outfitters
Tank: Free People
Shorts: Vintage Levi's

How to accessorize:

Option 1: Throw on a chunky necklace or statement ring, part your hair down the middle with loose waves

Option 2: Wear too many bangles, a pop of pink lipstick, and a brushed back loose low pony

Option 3: just wear a very dainty ring or bracelet(no statement pieces), do a winged liner, a nude lip, and Part your hair to the side down and straight
