It's that time of year for being tan, short shorts, open toed shoes and summery tops. I wear my Levi's 501 shorts with everything and anything, all day everyday. I paired it with this beautiful silk Joie top with an embroidered scalloped sleeve detail to make the outfit more sophisticated and feminine. My shoes for the summer are theses amazing Dolce Vita studded leopard sandals. Yes, the leopard print is made with a hairy sort of material. I consider leopard print shoes to be a neutral so it can be worn with all colors and prints.

 On a side note, this style of sandal is a great second option to the Birkenstock. I tried the whole Birkenstock style, but it did not work out so well with me; it made my legs look short and stocky...nobody wants that. So when I found these, I loved how they were more sleek and who wouldn't love the studded sole? 

Texture

I love to play with textures and my two favorites to mix are leather and denim. The edginess of the leather paired with the casual cool of the denim creates a pair that compliments one another so well. I topped the outfit off with one of my favorite shoes that I found for a great deal at the Nordstrom Rack. Also decided to wave my fair for the first time since it's been short and to be honest, I'm kind of a fan of my hair at the moment. I might do this wavy thing for awhile until I become sick of it. 

With that said, New York Fashion Week has been underway and I'm super excited to share my favorite looks and collections! Stay tuned!

Lost and Found

After profusely looking for my leather jacket, alas, I found it! Wore it to work the other day with a white V-neck, boyfriend jeans, plaid shirt tied around the waist and my favorite ankle strap heels. 90's grunge chic can you say?
