Like Mother, Like Child

Where: Magnificent Mile, Chicago

What: 3.1 Phillip Lim Soleil large tote & mini flap bag

Mr Lim has always been a cult favorite in my closet for modern twist on beautiful, ready to wear classics! I fell in love with the Soleil at first sight. The chain strap gives it the perfect feminine touch to an otherwise gender neutral accessory...So when I found the pinstripe baby recently at Barney's, I couldn't say no! This may be the beginning of a small Soleil fortune brewing in my collection

Beach Buns

Location: South Beach, Miami 

Wearing: UNIF crochet top, RVCA bottoms, Ray Ban sunglasses

Itty bitty bikini season is almost over, so I couldn't go without posting at least once with one of my favorite mix-n-match combos from this summer! The days of uniformed sets are in the past. Everyone loves to play with textures and make it their own! With the 70's on the runway (again), I figured i'd incorporate this powder blue crop with my palm-tree printed cheekies! Who says beach days can't be fun?

High above the Headlands

Location: Muirwood Beach, Marin Headlands

Wearing: H&M plaid, Topshop knit, Barbara Bui belt, Joe's leather pants, Zara slides

Surrounded by bliss in one of my favorite places on Earth...This is where I come to reflect and manifest when I need a little guidance in life. I'm so thankful for the world around me. I've been traveling a lot this summer..I feel so blessed to be able to experience a nomadic physical and emotional state of mind for awhile. Up next is DC, Chicago, and SF, and back to NYC for the SS16 Women's collections. Time flies when you're having fun!

Slides by the Sea

(Zara slides, Topshop tank + choker)

Spent the most amazing day with a close friend in the Muir Woods before I left SF to go back to NYC last week. As much as I love globetrotting constantly from city to city as often as possible, it is SO important for me to stay grounded spiritually, physically, and emotionally. So by taking time to self reflect immersed in nature, I'm able to cleanse my aura of the past, and bring positive energy and vibes into the future. Life is a beautiful concept with daily experiences to expand the mind & body infinitely. This is THAT place for me. Hiked to the top of the Marin Headlands to capture the serenity up close..Where the ocean meets the horizon..There is nothing in the world like NorCal!

FULL LOOK coming soon!

Utilitarian Style

Location: Painted Ladies in San Francisco, CA

Wearing: Zara waistcoat, Free People halter bra, Vera Wang clogs, Michael Kors clutch

Recapping some of my favorite looks from my home away from home in SF. Anyone who is a native knows it's not the easiest to look fabulous without caution here! With it being foggy and chilly in the morning, sunny by daybreak, and breaking breezy by sunset..I tend to switch it up a bit. I'm really into easy dressing lately. I love this little pistachio-ish number from Zara! The subtle earth tones are a hit for me this season for a hint of color in my black hole of a wardrobe. Lets not argue, BLACK IS CLASSIC on any level and it will never go out of style..But i'm slowly easing into other options. Back to the dress, it can be worn alone all tied up for the DRAMA, or just layered over for extra details. I get major Sex & the City vibes when I wear it! 

Simple & Beautiful.

Casual Luxury

Location: Riverwalk, Chicago

Wearing: AA tube top, H&M mesh skirt, Zara cardigan, Stuart Weitzman boots, Michael Kors clutch

This was another one of my favorite looks from the Windy City. It's so nice to finally be able to get dressed without disastrous weather worries! I love the casual mix of spring & winter items here!(since this trip was right in between the ending of one season and the beginning of another)! Perfect for an evening on the town with my girls! The detailing on this mesh overlay skirt is amazing, and such a steal for H&M. I'm very selective when it comes to trendy items with major "fast fashion" retailers, but this was a gem! It's so versatile and i've already transitioned it into my night looks for the warmer months to come.

Casual meets luxury, i'm so into it!

Looking back at this trips reminds me of something..

I can't wait to do some major traveling this summer!

(AND DOCUMENT ALL OF IT, ONE FASHION AT A TIME!)
