the bodycon

i've been looking for the perfect bodycon dress that had to fulfill several requirements: 1) that it is not OTT risqué, 2) the price did not break the bank because how many chances does one get to wear a dress of this nature in the city when you frequent wine merchant and monaghans on a weekly basis?? and lastly, 3) that it could swing it in both summer with a pair of heels or winter with tights and booties. i love this tinley road score from piperliime- adorable and hits every mark on the list. 

monogram + initial necklaces via baublebar

dress, tinley road; booties, rebecca minkoff (also love the suede version here); shades, ray-ban; necklaces, baublebar, maya brennar; lips, nars; purse, rebecca mink off

leather + linen

while most of the nation starts to cool down, sf is teetering the brink of real summer weather (fingers crossed that is...). and the season vs the actual weather in sf always poses a bit of a forced compromise for any resident's closet. walking that line between summer and fall here i've paired warm weather nude sandals, shorts and this boho karen walker top plus cooler colors and leather to channel the transition to fall. 

top, karen walker; shorts, zara (similar here); heels, zara (sold out); purse, rebecca minkoff; shades, karen walker; bracelets: gorjana & griffin, jcrew (25% off with code FALLSTYLE); watch, kenneth cole (similar here); necklace, maya brennar; lipcolor, nars

shades of summer

squeezing in the last summer outfits of the season i'll be rocking as many shorts, mini's and open-toe sandals as long as the sf weather will allow.  dressed here for the weekend in nude and cream tones with my favorite sandals and these awesome shorts by karen walker. the high waist and a-line cut help to flatter the hips, elongate the legs and show off the remainder of that summer tan.

top, joie; shorts, karen walker (similar); heels, rebecca minkoff; shades, karen walker; bracelet, gorjana & griffin; ring, nashelle, necklace, maya brennar

cheers to another good start to the week!
