I’m a big fan of the Babydoll Blouse.
This type of blouse is flattering on everybody!
Not to mention, it can be dressed up or down, and pairs nicely with jeans.
The loose fitting, feminine design is perfect for the warmer months–definitely a Summer staple in my closet.

Now that spring is here, it’s finally time to pull out those sandals, wedges, and flats! Check out a few of my favorite spring shoes this season:
“How can you live the high life if you do not wear the high heels?” —Sonia Rykiel
Spring is finally here! I’ve always felt that I gravitate towards Spring looks more than any other season. For me, Spring means cropped jeans, lace shirts, and playful heels.
These high-rise straight-leg jeans by Guess are definitely a denim staple. You can wear them with a t-shirt and a pair of Keds on a lazy Sunday, or dress them up with heels and a fancy top for date night!
I’ve always enjoyed experimenting with my style. Taking fashion risks is one of the few things in life that don’t scare me. Rather than play it safe with a simple top that didn’t compete for the spotlight next to these statement jeans, I went with this eye catching top by Forever21. And luckily, they ended up complementing each other nicely.
I finalized the look with these Ziginy Mid Pump heels. There is something so classic and “Audrey-esque” about round toe mid pumps–they tie a look together effortlessly.

Trying to find cute snow boots can be tricky. I have a trip planned for next month, so I’ve been trying to keep an eye out for a pair I am interested in. Since I don’t live in the snow or visit that often, I wanted something versatile and inexpensive. I ultimately ended up purchasing the Lands’ End pair, but here are a few others I like too:
Lands’ End $69
Madewell x Sorel $160
UGG $124.99
UGG $224.95
Sorel $119.94

I associate the color Burgundy with Fall. It’s deep, warm, and romantic. I wear it all year long, but especially this time of year. Shop some of my favorite shades of Burgundy for Fall:

Madewell, Deepest Burgundy
Topshop, Check Mix
Urban, Maroon
ASOS, Oxblood
Lucky Brand, Beet Suede
Nordstrom, Burgundy Stem Jen Plaid
Madewell, Dark Cabernet
Topshop, Berry Red
“The spring, summer, is quite a hectic time for people in their lives, but then it comes to autumn, and to winter, and you can’t but help think back to the year that was, and then hopefully looking forward to the year that is approaching.” -Enya
The colder months are upon us. Sigh…but it’s not all bad news! Fall is one of my favorite seasons for fashion. The change in weather means it’s finally time to pull out those booties! Check out my Fall bootie wish list:

With my senior year in full force, it’s hard not to look both back and forward with a sense of longing.
Believe me, I want to graduate desperately. If I could do it tomorrow I would! But I also want to go back to the simpler days of Summer when all I had to worry about was what I was wearing.
This blouse is one of my absolute favorite tops. It can be dressed up for an interview, but also worn casually on a windy walk out to the cliffs.
After having gone away for college, I am constantly reminded of just how much I took Santa Cruz for granted. Though the fast paced life of a big city can be fun, nothing compares to a laid back beach town.
I often wonder where I will be one year from now. I’ll probably be blogging about how much I miss San Francisco.

Marais USA is my latest obsession. It’s so rare for me to love every item in one brand’s collection, but in this case it’s true. Not only do their shoes speak to me, but the inspiration behind the company is compelling. Here is a bit from their blog’s about page:
Their shoes are classic and sophisticated–yet colorful and distinct. They are a great addition to any outfit, be it simple or extravagant. Check them out:
“I would say that a good shoe is exactly like a good wine. These shoes are going to stay and last for a long time.” Christian Louboutin
Summer is the perfect time of year to play with fun prints!
Whenever I’m on vacation I take the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone–wear things I wouldn’t normally wear to school (or work). That means fun colors, styles, and prints!
Experimenting is easiest for me when I choose one aspect of my look to accent. When I found these pants I just had to have them. They felt retro and feminine–my favorite combination.
Though they came with a matching top, I decided to pair them with a neutral tank, jean jacket, and sandals to keep the outfit a little more casual and a little more me.

This weekend Joel and I went wine tasting at the Bonny Doon Vineyard Tasting Room in Davenport.
We had a great time. With each sip, we tried to guess the notes for each wine–a perfect date night activity.
We even ended up walking away with two bottles: the 2014 Old Telegram (Joel’s pick) and the 2013 Vinferno (my pick, obviously a dessert wine).
I always envisioned my first wine tasting expedition up in the Napa heat, with a floral print dress blowing in the wind. Since this was a spur of the moment idea, we decided to stay local. Therefore, I modified my idyllic outfit vision for the Santa Cruz wine tasting experience.
This weekend really cooled off, so I opted for a pair of booties, jeans, and a denim jacket.
I fit right in with the laid back and casual look of Santa Cruz.
If you’re ever in town, I highly recommend trying this place. They were informative, fun, and friendly. What more could you ask for?
