Nails and Bling

I love me some bling! I am also super picky about the kind of jewelry I wear. I've found that I love small, dainty and yet clean looking jewelry. I usually find some smaller things to wear daily like the bracelet on my left arm and the smaller rings on both hands. When I want to add more "style" or dress things up a bit I will add things like the ring on my left middle finger and the bracelet on my right.

Who are your favorite jewelry designers?

I also absolutely love a bright nail for the spring and summer, this one from Gelish is my go-to!

Summers Best Sandals

I can't get enough sandals this year. I am on a sandal kick and this season there are some absolutely amazing ones to choose from. These four are my particular favorites. Living in San Francisco, there isn't necessarily a need for fancy shoes as much as there is for cute and comfy shoes. Oftentimes, people tend to go comfy, but they end up looking not-so-stylish. I want to show you my faves and explain how versatile they really are.

• Raye the label- Dean Espadrille

This is the most perfect espadrille I have come across this season. I can't get enough of it. The color is amazing and the comfort level is on point. Pair these with a long flowy dress, light jeans and a white tee or rock them with shorts and a floral blouse. 

• Joie- Bea Sandal

If you couldn't tell I am obsessed with nude everything. One thing you need to know is there are so many nudes I hate ie. too peachy, too yellowy or orangey. However, when I find the perfect tan or nude I have to get it. This sandal is low enough and comfortable enough to wear to work. Wear them with jeans and a tee, dress them up to dance the night away at a wedding or pair them with a cute and chic wine tasting outfit. You can practically wear them with anything and are noticeably cute!

• Elina Linardaki- Leather Hoola Hoop Sandal

These sandals are SO fun. They are comfortable and the second you put them on you will start receiving compliments on them. I love these sandals with basics. Jean shorts a tee and these, boyfriend jeans a tank with them or a white linen dress would pair amazingly well with them. 

• Matisse- Kelly Sandal

These are sold out everywhere, but try to get your hands on something similar like these or these OR these. They can be easily dressed up or down. My favorite way to wear these with a fun and patterned dress, with boyfriend shorts a lace tank and a jean jacket, or with a simple white romper.

Where To Shop: My 10 Favorite Online Shops

I used to love shopping at the mall. The busier I get, the less time I have to shop. I have become a serious master of online shopping since moving to SF. I now feel like I know all the cool online shops, that don't carry the typical department store looks.

1. Revolve Clothing: This site has EVERYTHING you can think of. I online shop here more than any site, and they also have really great sales. Make sure to sign up for their email list for a discount.

2. ShopBop: I often check ShopBop for a wide range of clothing. They have so many clothes ranging from high fashion runway pieces to cheap white tees. They have a great return policy, and it's worth signing up for their newsletter. Check out the site here.

3. Shop Van De Vort: If you like beachy, boho, bright, and patterned clothes Van De Vort has some amazing pieces. I feel like they have more wearable boho looks, so you will look chic and not like you are headed to a festival. Look at these pieces, super Cali girl.

4. Totokaelo: I usually shop Tototkaelo for amazing Fall and Winter boots/sweaters, but they often have some super nice summery styles. I like that they focus on quality, and class. These outfits are perfect for formal nights out, and are timeless.

5. Emerson Fry: I love this site. Emerson Fry is pretty small in their selection, but I have bought some of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe from their site. Check them out before your favorite items sell out.

6. Nic Del Mar: Need a bikini? Look no further. This site has EVERYTHING. I love looking at this site for some inspiration before I make a purchase. They really have the best selection I've seen yet! They also have great dresses and beachwear.

7. Soleil Blue: This is another beachy summer site. I love the styling on the site. It inspires me to put my look together before I head out on the town or to the sand!

8. Tea & Tala: This site reminds me of the Australian version of Forever 21 just cuter. Check out Tea & Tala for affordable yet stylish looks. I especially love their rompers.

9. The Birdcage Boutique: All of my favorite Australian designers are up on this site. They have great sales, and super different clothes that you would see in the US. I love shopping here for pieces no one has ever seen around the states. You also get $30 off your first purchase when you sign up with your email. WORTH IT!

10. Planet Blue: This online shop has so many cool pieces. Needing something a bit different? Check this sites variety! I especially love the boho looks on this site, they give me inspiration.

Be Beachy

All I pretty much wore on my trip to Turks & Caicos was swimwear. It was so warm, and pretty much impossible to not sweat through anything but a bikini. If you don't own a L*Space bikini you're missing out! My favorite look right for the beach is unbuttoned shorts, a bikini, a big hat, and stunnas.

My Summer Beach Essentials: 

Bikini- l*space Swimwear Chloe Wrap Top in Pebble

Shorts- One Teaspoon Trashwhore Shorts

Hat- Brixton Gia Hat

Sunnies- Oliver Peoples Ria in Tortoise

Let's Talk Shoes

It's time we break it down on what you actually need in your closet. Step 1: Shoes. You need a few staples that are super versatile to work with your wardrobe!

***Nude Shoes:
In my opinion every single girl needs one or more pairs of nude shoes. This is the most versatile color, and pretty much goes with anything.

Nude Sandal: This Sam Edelman sandal and wear it more than any shoe in my closet (besides running shoes of course). You can wear these with sun dresses, jeans, skirts, shorts, or pretty much anything else. They are also a huge staple for me when I'm traveling.

Nude Flats: I have these flats in a few colors. Flats are great for work, walking a ton, and when you need to cover your toesies. I like to wear these with skinny jeans, and a cute sweater. Check them out here.

Nude heels: This heel is a must. Nude heels make your legs look longer and leaner. They go with sun dresses, going out dresses & skirts, and they look amazing with skinny jeans & a cute top. Nude heels an be worn to formal events or dressed down for a brunch day.

***Black Shoes:

 Booties: Booties can be worn all year round. You can throw them on with shorts and a cute tank, or with jeans and a sexy tank. For this reason, every girl needs some cute booties. These boots are edgy yet super sleek.

Black Wedges: These Steve Madden Corizon Wedges are great for dressing up or down. I love packing these sort of shoes wherever I go, just in case I want to dress up an outfit. You can take an outfit from day to night with a simple wedge like this. TIP: I love buying a wedge with a platform in the front, because they are easier to walk in.

Fun Shoes:

Bright Flats: These Loeffler Randal Citrus Flats are too cute. Pair these flats with boyfriend jeans and a while tee, a white sundress with a cardigan, or with jean shorts and a bright top.

Boots: Every girl needs fun boots. Boots to wear to a country concert, a festival, camping, or to walk around town in. These boots would be perfect with ripped jeans and a simple top, with a girly sundress, or even overalls. Get funky and check these cute boots out by Free People.

Bright Sandal: Go buy yourself a fun colored sandal. Don't be afraid to mix and match it with something totally random. Throwing a pop of color on to your feet is just what any boring outfit could use! Joie's Bastia Sandal is EVERYTHING.

Summer Nails

It's summer! We are more tan than usual, so it's time to whip out those bright polishes! A solid fun nail color can be a huge accessory during the summer months, so take advantage!
