The Best Casual LBD + Snake Print Shoes

I shared a sweet coffee date with my little one at the cutest cafe, Figlia Americana, in downtown Portland this past weekend. We shared avocado toast and enjoyed each other’s company while soaking in the calm and very Instagram-able atmosphere. Stella ordered a “coffee” for herself (8 oz milk in a tiny coffee cup lol) and I sipped on a latte, she made friends with all of the people working on their laptops and said please and thank you to the baristas as she asked for milk refills. I can’t believe she’ll be 2 in July.

I wore this mid-calf length tank dress that I bought for summer, but couldn’t wait to wear it and now after giving a test drive, I’m ordering it in two more colors. It is SO comfortable and I see it being extremely versatile for year-round wear… not to mention it’s under 20 bucks! I also debuted my new favorite shoes. It took me some time to find the best snake print booties but I am so glad I didn’t settle, these booties are so comfy and just dressy enough to snaz up my (usually) casual ensembles.

Perfect Plaid Dress For Fall

Happy November!

I love this month, it's Scorpio season, I'm a November baby and I am so in my element this season. Can you believe this year is almost over?! It's been quite eventful to say the least. Had a baby, bought my first ever new car, quit my job to become a stay at home/work from home mom, started blogging full time, the list could go on fo eva! 

My sister and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful day and shoot some fall looks. It was the first Halloween in 10 years that it didn't rain here in Portland, and it could not have been more perfect outside for photos. We had a lot of fun with this shoot so get excited for some goofy pics mixed in.

This plaid dress has been on repeat lately, and it's super affordable, but almost sold out so hurry! It was a great transitional piece for when it was still warm out and now I can pair it with tights through the fall! I'm also featuring this AMAZING scarf. For some reason it's not available online yet (I'll let you know on Instagram when it is!) so here's a similar one in the meantime! It is actually the softest thing I own, and Stella loves to snuggle into it when I'm holding her, it's too cute! 

THESE. If you are looking for the perfect bootie, you need these ASAP! I searched for ever for a brown bootie for fall and these fit the bill perfectly! They're also under $90, and extremely comfortable. I just ordered a second pair in black!

Thanks for reading! Get excited for lots on new fall content com ing your way very soon! 

Casual stripes + denim dinner date

I've been doing some major deal hunting lately and I found this metallic bag for just under 15 bucks a couple days ago. It's real leather and is a perfect sized tote for everything that I take to work with me on a daily basis. Plus it's unique and one can wear it as a neutral which is a definite asset in my book! 

I paired the look with gold jewelry since I'm still very much enjoying the mixed metals trend!

Tonight I wore this look to tapas with my boyfriend, we sat outside on the waterfront and listened to live music and it was an amazing end to my mid-week "weekend." 

Hope you all have had an amazing week

Another day, another summer dress!

In case you've noticed a pattern recently between all my posts between my blog and social media, I've been a huge fan of dresses this summer. I primarily post on my days off from work, and I can't seem to get enough of easy summer styles.. nothing is more effortless than throwing on a dress and running out the door! I'm obsessed with this new brand I've discovered called Olive and Oak, this little dress is from them and it is my new favorite piece. Everything about this outfit is so ME; leather jacket, booties, bib necklace, all of it!

Obviously thrilled that my backdrop is an apartment complex. 

Hope everyone is having an amazing week!

The sweetest wrap dress for summer

This dress is PERFECTION. I was hesitant to buy it because it is so different for me, usually I'm into dark colors, leather, grungy, 90's inspired sort of fashion, but my friend talked me into it and I am so happy she did. This summer is all about muted pastels and neutrals, and I'm slowly growing my collection of pieces within the color palette that are effortlessly chic, but also just plain effortless. 

...I'm slowly but surely teaching my boyfriend to be an instagram husband. I think he's doing great so far!

I paired this dress with an oldie but goodie Topshop jacket that I've had forever, its distressed which is an homage to my grungy personal style, but it is also in a light wash which makes it current and great for summer. It isn't available at the moment but Topshop has released it for a couple springs in a row so I wouldn't be surprised if they brought it back again (I also linked some really similar styles by the same brand, so check those out!) These booties are my trusty BP Trolleys, I have about 7 pairs in different colors and I wear them with 99% of my outfits for work, they are SO comfortable, basically the perfect bootie.
