Snappy Casual

Back in my college days, “snappy casual” was our attire word for all our sorority meetings and events. However, I still find myself using this word for those times when you want to be casual, yet still have a little "snap" or polished look to your outfit.

Living in Southern California, you definitely feel the desire for a laid back, casual outfit, but when you work 9 - 5 in a corporate office or when you want to dress up a little when going out with the girls, you need that "snap" to just kick it up a notch.

Madewell is always my go-to for this type of look (And let’s face it, every other look). Pairing a classic t-shirt or tank with a silk skirt is effortless and always looks good. I recently wore this outfit while out in Chicago with the girls and never felt over or under dressed!

So keep it snappy, keep it casual and let the good times roll.

Happy Friday!

Off the Shoulder

I am loving the off the shoulder trend right now. It's a little edgier than just a t-shirt, but still has a nice casual feel to it when paired with some light denim. White seems to be my summer color, so I picked THIS one up from Madewell the other day and will be wearing it quite a bit over the summer.

Here are a few others I am hawking at the moment:

Denim Dress

I just got back from Chicago from an amazing girls weekend and am having a hard time starting this four day work week! More to come on the trip later this week. 

You all know I love denim, so it should be no surprise that I bought THIS lightweight denim dress by Joie. Dress it up or dress it down! It's perfect for all occasions. I can't wait for the May grey and June gloom to pass so I can start wearing it more!

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Friday Florals

Something I love to do in my free time is shop and hawk  my latest wants online. One of the trends I am coveting right now is florals. Around this time every year, the floral trend comes back and I love pairing the brilliant pattern with some classic looks.

These Dolce and Gabbana floral pumps are a perfect statement piece to wear with some boyfriend jeans and a white T-shirt for that Memorial Day BBQ or weekend happy hour.

Here are just a few ideas on how to style them:

 Look One: Top + Jeans + Shoes 

Look Two: Blazer (LOVE) + T-Shirt + Jeans + Shoes 

Don’t forget accessories! 

Bag + Sunnies 

These great shoes and looks can be found on Farfetch. If you ever want to see what I am currently “Hawking” follow my “Want It” Pinterest board. 

I am off to Chicago for a girls weekend! Be sure to follow along on my Instagram to see what I am up to!

Cheers!

Trench Coat Trend

The trench coat trend is sticking around, so when I went out to look for one, I wanted it to be something light that I could wear all year. It's the perfect long jacket to throw on with jeans or flares to have that polished chic look.

I ended up getting THIS one, but LOVE these too:

Also, I have to mention this bag I am featuring! If you are looking for the perfect work bag that transitions from day to night, this is it!
