My love for a good matching set has been well documented over the last couple of years, and right now for spring I’m especially loving cute and comfy sweater sets.  I’ve worn these little sweater sets from Target for years (which are still available here and here), but recently I grabbed a couple of new sets in fresh spring colors.  I love that they can be worn together (like above) or separately with jeans or denim shorts (see below) to create quite a few outfits.  Plus, they’re as comfy as a favorite set of PJ’s.  Just add sneakers or sandals and you’re good to go.

Hope everyone has a great week ahead!

There’s no doubt that my favorite sneakers got a whole lotta use this past summer, and I’m suspecting a similar story this fall.  And while my white Golden Goose were a fave over the summer months, lately I’ve been grabbing the two (way more affordable) pairs here nonstop.

The leopard pair above is seriously so nice for the price – they’re under $40.  It’s a good, non-cheesy leopard print, and I love the glitter detail.  (I traded out the beige laces for these fun metallics.)  They’re also super comfy and now come in a second metallic version that I wish was still available in my size.  (The leopard is still fully stocked, but if your size is still available in this pair, lucky you!)

And as for the pair below, I seriously can’t stop wearing them.  I’m gonna go ahead and say it – I think they are the comfiest pair I own.  Like, more comfy than the Golden Goose, more comfy than my favorite pair of Nikes.  They have a slight hidden wedge inside that is just so cushy.  They come in a ton of colors, but I really do love the black and metallic combo below.  I’ve worn them with dresses, jeans, and even with this metallic midi skirt.  (They’ll also be so cute with my favorite leather leggings too.)

So whether you’re a seasoned sneaker lover or someone looking to try out the trend, take a scroll below for some of my favorites right now.

While lots of other areas around the country are currently layering, bundling, and cozying up, Southern California is still showing off some warm and sunny shorts weather.  (During the day at least.)  The nights have been chilly enough for sweaters and the occasional fire in the fireplace, but during the day, I’m living for dresses, fall skirts, and my trusty leather shorts.

I’ve loved leather shorts for years and recently snagged this pretty camel pair on Amazon for under $30.  (Size up in these.)  I love them paired with an easy thermal and cardigan and will be wearing them with this cozy little ivory sweater for an upcoming holiday event.  The Amazon fashion finds have been SO good lately, and I’m working on a new Amazon finds post that will go up this week.

Hope everyone has a great week ahead!

It’s one of my favorite (FAVORITE) sites to shop, and it’s one of my favorite sales of the year.  Shopbop is having one of their Buy More, Save More sales with 20% off orders under $500 and 25% off orders over $500, and it’s the perfect time to stock up on so much fall goodness.  (If you think about it, that’s a similar percentage that lots of sites give on Black Friday, but this sale is just in time to kick off the new fall season.)  Use code STOCKUP19 site-wide on full-price and sale items.

So what am I grabbing from the sale?  For starters, I’ve got a real thing for anything Z Supply (especially this turtleneck dress), can never resist Madewell denim on sale, am currently on the hunt for a cute pair of Western style booties, and am totally grabbing this leopard calfhair crossbody.  If you’ve already got cold weather plans on the horizon, I seriously can’t recommend these faux fur Apparis coats more (LOVED mine for last year’s winter travels), and it’s the perfect time to grab everyone’s favorite Spanx leggings.  Scroll below for a few more of my favorite pieces to grab right now.  Happy shopping, friends.

Well, September arrived, and the much-anticipated heat wave that always follows was RIGHT on time.  It’s been a hot September so far, but this week, we were lucky enough to get a little break in the form of two overcast, not-so-hot days in a row.  Can I get a WOO. HOO.  I took full advantage by taking the pups on long beach walks both days.  (I never really walk them along the beach when it’s too hot because the boardwalk is a little too toasty for their paws.)  We went to an Angels baseball game on Monday night and I actually needed a (GASP!) jacket.  Glorious.

I also managed to finally try on (and shoot) a couple of fall pieces that have been waiting in my closet, and y’all, this dress.  I have no idea when we will actually get some cooler fall weather, but I do know that this dress will be in constant rotation when we do.  It’s seriously the softest thing, feels like the coziest pajamas, and when it comes to getting dressed this fall, there’s just nothing easier.  I’m calling it my five second fall uniform – throw on a pair of booties, grab a handbag, and GO – and can’t recommend this little under $75 dress more.

Here’s hoping everyone has a great rest of the week ahead and that these cooler temps somehow decide to stick around for just a bit longer.
