Summer Neutrals

Vintage linen dress

Madewell sandals

AUrate NY necklace

All about neutrals and fresh linen for summer! Love, love this linen dress I recently found, it was a bit too long on me so I had to cut a bit of the bottom hem, but loved the way it turned it with the raw frayed hem. 

What do you guys think?

Yoins October Must-Haves

Coffee high neck sweater

Front wrap mini dress

Hey guys!

TGIF!

I was recently browsing on Yoins website and I spotted so many cute fall must-haves! Although it still hasn't cooled down here in Socal all I'm craving is sweater weather haha. I see so many cute knits and fall styles all over websites and stores but I guess summer doesn't want to leave us just yet.

There is so much fall inspiration everywhere, especially on Yoins,  I spotted the latest casual dresses for women and a bunch of fashion ladies sweaters online! If you're looking for cute yet affordable clothing for fall, Yoins has so many great options! Lately I've been all about brown fuzzy knits and rust-colored anything like the pictures above, I'm sure you guys have seen my lasts posts too and my obsession with rust and fall tones. 

Buuut I guess I'll just have to wait for the weather to cool down so I can start wearing knits again. In the mean time I guess I'll keep browsing through the different knit styles since they come in all shapes, colors, and sizes, perfect for anytime of the year...the same goes with their dresses, super cute styles!

Do you guys have any favorite fall trends?

Striped Blue Dress

♫ Portugal. The Man- Feel It Still (Medasin Remix) ♫ 

Wearing:

Zaful striped dress (sold out but similar here)

Cardinale wooden sunnies

Poshmark rattan bag

Castañer espadrille wedges 

Summer days call for blue striped anything, it's the summer print I'm currently obsessing over along with any different shade of blue ;)

When I received this dress it was love at first sight, the off-the-shoulder style the buttons, and especially the pockets! It was everything I was looking for especially for this summer! I love the length and the fact that you can button or unbutton the buttons to make a slit down the middle of the dress for a more flirty touch!

I know these dresses are seen everywhere nowadays especially the deep v-neck styles with the high slits but I think my favorite has to be the off-the-shoulder style.

We shot these pictures this past weekend and the lighting was just perfect! It was a very warm day breezy day which was pure bliss!

StyleWe Linen Dress

When it comes to spring and summer all I want to wear is linen everything and fresh fabrics!

So when I spotted this linen dress from StyleWe it was love at first sight ;). I normally go for basics but I really love the cut and style of this dress, along with the side buttons and waist tie. 

It's super versatile, I can already imagine it with heels for a nice brunch/dinner out or a casual day out with some lace up sandals or espadrilles. I love all the great selection of dresses StyleWe carries, there are just way too many cute styles to choose from and literally for any occasion or event. 

Summer is right around the corner along which means so many parties and weddings so if you're looking for any cute dresses or other clothing styles I recommend checking out StyleWe and Justfashionnow!

Happy week lovelies!

Casual Lace Dresses

Openwork lace off-the-shoulder club dress 

Beautiful sunny spring days call for casual lace dresses, especially when they're lightweight and comfortable. I'm all about lace or crochet details on casual dresses, they just give off that boho/chic vibe. Good thing Rose Gal has a variety of these dresses for any occasion really, and for such affordable prices!

I love how versatile these dresses are. I usually love wearing them with flat sandals if I'm going to the beach or a nice casual bbq. However, if I'm going out to dinner or a party I like to dress them up with lace up high heel sandals or ankle boots. You can never go wrong with casual lace dresses! :)

I added two of my favorite lace dresses from Rose gal, I just love the pale pink off-the-shoulder dress with the lace details on the sleeves and hem. The white lace dress is so timeless and fresh and can be worn all spring and summer long ;) Which one is your fave?

Spaghetti strap lace slip dress 

Hope you guys are enjoying your weekend!

So better start dress hunting early for those special events guys!

So in LOVE with this wedding dress it's  flowy, chic, and effortless. The back lace detail and cute bow definitely caught my eye too since I'm all about the details! Such a perfect dress for a spring wedding on the beach...*le sigh*!

Flutter Bridesmaid Dress

This grey chiffon number is just so heavenly, everything from the subtle color, the flowyness and the overall style! Makes me want to wear it and run in an open flower field and twirl around in it! :P

Make Me Chic Fall Wish List

1. Brown Maxi Dress

This brownish-pumpkin color is definitely one of my faves for fall but let's talk about this dress I just love the length it looks super chic yet comfortable....anddd it has pockets!! :)

2. Olive Green Military Coat

I've also been into olive green so much this fall plus you can't go wrong with a long military jacket for fall, it's a MUST have!

3. Leaf and Western Necklace

Suede wrap-around chokers are my thing lately which is why I instantly fell in love with this tan color, it's obviously another must have for fall and I just can't get enough of the accents!

4. Green Canvas Backpack

I recently just got into backpacks...especially rucksacks like this vintage style. They're perfect for hiking, traveling, school, and just about anything. These colors compliment each other so well too.

5. Ice Blue Velvet Ankle Boots

Velvet- anything is definitely IN this season, I wasn't really sure about this trend when I first saw it but I'm actually digging these boots and the ice blue color...plus I can't get enough of ankle boots and chunky heels and these made the cut for sure!

September Florals

♫ Pedrina y Rio- Cancion de Eli ♫

(Wearing: Shein dress, Jeffrey Campbell sandals)

I have always been a fan of wrap dresses but it's funny because I think I only own one so when I spotted this one on Shein.com I knew I had to have it! I love the fresh fabric and the kimono style! I normally don't wear florals but I couldn't help but love this floral pattern all over. This dress is effortlessly chic and I love how I can wear it year round too, I can't wait to style it in the fall with coats, tights, and cute ankle boots. I was even thinking of wearing it opened as a long kimono paired with jeans and a basic tee, what do you guys think? If you guys loved this dress too, snatch one up on Shein's website here!

If there is a color I could wear all summer long it would definitely be BLUE. I always gravitate more towards this color in the summer time.  Whether it's:  navy, cerulean, indigo, aqua, turquoise, azure,  or teal....I'm all for it! Not only is this color a pleasure to dwell into, but it also represents peace, tranquility, stability, wisdom, and truth. Here are some quickie Polyvore sets I styled inspired by summer and my wardrobe. 

Which look is your fave?

Shift

(Images via: Pinterest, Tumblr, ZARA, Nasty Gal, Urban Outfitters, ShopRuche, Collage Vintage)

Lately, I've been into shift dresses. especially the midi/maxi length with slits on the side. I don't know what it is about them... well maybe it's the effortless, airy, fresh, comfortable vibes of this dress style, which is why it's already won me over. It's definitely a dress I would wear and comfort is a major key in my wardrobe. I'm also loving the shifts in nudes and basic colors. They're perfect for spring/summer and look great with heels, boots, sandals, sneakers...so why not? Now if I could just stock up on a few of these my life would be complete! ;)
