Fashion Duo
Happy Sunday All! I hope everyone is having wonderful weekend so far! Today is a special post, this is my first joint blogger post and my girlfriend Lisa recently started a fashion blog that I'm excited to share; Haute Ashbury! I've known her for about 5 years through working at Wells Fargo and I've always been a little jealous of this gal, she's always so stinking cute and well put together! Just look at her, 5 months preggers and she's as edgy as any women I know! You must head over to her blog...it's different than most since she and another fashionista, Nahal, share their looks. It's pretty refreshing to see two fashion styles appearing daily on one blog. You'll probably want to check out where she copped her items from anyway. FYI- believe it or not, that dress is not maternity!
The beauty of wearing a super colorful skirt is the ability to wear a casual top and still look stylish and dressy enough for work. I tell you, chambray is probably one of my top staple pieces! You literally can pull off any look with it! Here are a few other great chambray and printed skirt combos!
Till next time dolls!

SUMMER SCROLLS
Dress: J.Crew Dress in Scroll Print (in Factory stores or eBay) / Jacket: Old (similar here)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff / Necklace: Anthropologie / Sunnies: Banana Republic Calyn
Hi All! Hope everyone is having a great week! Let the 3-day weekend begin! I don't have anything too crazy planned this weekend...Day 1 BBQ in the Bay on Friday, Day 2 BBQ in Napa Saturday and an event I've been waiting for ALL spring...the Rockstar Mayhem Rock Festival on Sunday!!! I'm super stoked, can't wait to rock out with Aveenged Sevenfold and KORN! I recently posted a rockstar look I was craving here. Using it for inspiration, I'll see what I can summon up!
Now, for today's look... I love wearing brilliant colors in the summer. When the day calls for summer whether, my mood calls for sunny dresses! This Jules dress in Scroll Print did the fix :-) It hasn't been super hot (so rare in SF) so added a hint of edge and warmth with a moto style leather jacket. Because of the length and fit of the dress, it is most definitely a transitional piece to Fall...but who wants to think about Fall already?!
Till next time lovelies!!

SCUBA FLARE
Top: Zara Striped Tie Shirt / Skirt: J.Crew Surf Skirt (on sale!!) / Shoes: Nine West (old)
Handbag: Milly Crossbody Astor / Earrings: J.Crew (similar here)
Happy Monday! The weekend is over but it's not so bad since we've finally been getting summer weather! There's nothing more pleasing than waking up, looking outside and seeing the Bay Bridge free of a blanket of fog! This also makes styling a summer work look super simple!
For a work summer look, I think fun mix of colors, mix of match of fabric and trending prints. What's more classic than a stripped white and navy shirt?! Stripes are one of the most easy prints to pair for summer style! There are a number of directions you can go...for this look, I went with florals. And not just any floral, a floral flare scuba skirt! This skirt is everything! With the number of colors there isn't a color you can wear with it and go wrong. That's exactly why this skirt allows you to get away with wearing a neon yellow bag and red shoe. Even better, the length is slightly above your knee so it passes the "long enough to wear in the office" test! A few rules I go by with work fashions:
1) Fit: is there enough room in the outfit to allow you to walk and sit freely? Stay away from super fitted or hugging clothes. And if it is tight enough to see the lining of your body, layer with a long cardi or scarf.
2) Length: does the length of the shirt long enough to reach the top of the bottoms or skirt/dress go slightly above your knees. The test I like to do is stand straight with your arms on your side. The skirt or dress should go past the longest point your fingers reach. If it's slightly shorter, wear an opaque tight so there won't appear to be much skin showing.
3) Fabric: always take a good look at the complete look and make sure there is no transparency. If you can almost see the lining of your bra through your shirt, throw on a tank under. It's okay to wear a shear shirt as long as there's another top underneath.
4) Graphics: I sometimes like to wear tee's with trousers or even with jeans on casual Friday. I'd stay away from any racey images and offensive text. This could be an obvious one but you'd be surprised what I've seen in my office! Eeek!!
Hope you all have a wonderful day today and hope my little tips help you bring out your personality when putting together your summer work style! Enjoy the rest of your week loves!!

DENIM X DENIM
Images by Scott Kong
Top: Sam & Lavi Chambray Popover (on sale!!) / Bottoms: J. Brand 811 Mid Rise Skinnys (sale!)
Necklace: J.Crew Fringed Fan Necklace (on sale!!) / Sunnies: Ray Ban Aviators
Happy Friday everyone!! We made it :-) I don't know what I like better, the anticipation that oozes from every bone for the weekend, or the relief when the weekend is finally here! Well, what better way to end the week than with denim on denim.
I'll be the first one to agree that one can never have too many chambray tops...but this Sam & Lavi draped denim popover shirt is my new fav denim top! Move over ordinary button up chambrays! Not quite sure if it's the loose blousy fit or the high low effect from from to back. Or that it gives an illusion of a wrap top. Whatever it is, all variables make for a super simple yet chic chambray top. And the icing on the cake...it's on sale at Anthro!

THREE WAY GEO
Scarf: Nordi's / Jackets: London Fog (On sale!) / Bag: J.Crew Biennial / Necklace: J.Crew Fan Fringe
Lips: Stila Guava
Lips: Stila Guava
We. Are. Almost. There. Hope you're enjoying your week thus far! We are in the thick of spring now and I'm sure enjoying it! I get this warm and fuzzy feeling inside when the sun is bright and free of mind blinding fog! Although the sun is out and bright, I'm no fool for city weather so layering up is a must! Here's how I wore this J.Crew Pink Geo shirtdress:
1) Layered the dress with a khaki trench coat and pink scarf. I was actually able to go with out the trench but the scarf sure came in handy while walking downtown. Wore with flats as I do quite a bit of walking to get to work! 2) No layers at all, just the dress and my trusty BR Abby Flats! 3) Kicked off the flats for a pair of taupe pumps and I'm ready to take on the day :-)
Which way is your favorite??
Thanks for stopping by!

WRAPPED IN OXBLOOD
Images by Scott Kong
Jacket: Banana Republic (old) / Top: Rachel Roy / Skirt: Ann Taylor / Shoes: Kate Spade Licorice
I have to admit, I might just work in one of the best buildings located in FiDi. Not only am I walking distance to SOMA, Union Square, North Beach and the Embarcadero, our building has this gorgeous rooftop garden. Many folks in the area come here to dine or just to enjoy the view. I really enjoy the floral garden getaway!
One of my favorite bold colors, if you consider it bold, is Oxblood (or vamp blood if that's your thing)! I'm drawn to anything darker than my favorite vino ;-) There's something regal, mysterious and alluring about this color! When I saw this wool wrap trench at Banana Republic it was a no brainer. I got it a few seasons ago but there are tons of great options out there, a few here and here. Today I paired my wool coat with a Rachel Roy black lace button up top. What won me over was the extended lace material over the hand and the meticulously placed dark oxblood colored buttons. So many of my favorite little things rolled up into one top!

WHAT I WANT WEDNESDAY
What I Want Wednesday by embellishedcloset featuring the French Connection Lana Speckled Belted Coat
Fall is my favorite shopping season! What I love even more about shopping during the fall, the end of season sales!! Currently the Lana Speckled Belted jacket is marked down PLUS French Connection is having a blowout sale...an extra 50% off of sale items!!
Use discount code: W13SALE
This sophisticatedly sheik belted tweed jacket is the perfect length for pairing with skinny jeans, midi length skirts and dresses. I like to mix and match denim with dressy but this look could easily be paired with a dressier bottom like black skinny pant or tuxedo trouser.
Happy Shopping!!
