Cozy Grey Pullover & Denim

by

Good cozy pullover sweaters and jeans have been my jam this Fall.  They make for a great everyday minimal look without much effort. I recently picked up this oversized knit sweater from Zaful in a heather grey color, and it’s a perfect sweater for this time of year.  I love the open neck, where you can make it as drapey as you’d like and it goes well with scarves, leggings and boots.  And anything from Zaful is super affordable so if you’re looking for affordable knits, check them out!

So, I kind of have an obsession with this AG Adriano Goldschmied Jeans, and I plan on making a post featuring my collection of their colorful range of pants and jeans.  These distressed boyfriend cut jeans from AG are so ridiculously comfortable!  The denim is soft and flexible, which is important to me in a pair of jeans.  I really don’t like stiff denim, and I like when they feel “broken in” right away!  I normally don’t go for distressed but with the boyfriend style cuts it fits well.  The distressed parts are in the places that make sense and isn’t “over done.”  I don’t know about you but I really don’t like distressed jeans that look like you’ve been attacked by a tiger.  Also featured in this post are a few charms from one of my fav Etsy stores–love the silver leaf and pine tree!  I went with different chain lengths to create a more layering effect, and you can also buy them with chain or just the charm only.

Red Floral Dress & Fall Pullover

by

The weather seems to be fighting onto Summer as long as it can, which is why this outfit has one foot in Fall and one in Summer.  The temperature difference between night and day has been pretty extreme too!  I’ve always liked pullover sweaters over dresses and this weather pretty much fits that game plan perfectly!  This floral wrap dress from Zaful is great for hot days and this chunky knit pullover is warm enough for cooler September nights.  This sweater has been much needed lately since it’s been in the upper 80s and then dips down to low 50s at night.  I guess this is life in a high desert/arid environment aye?  That was something that surprised me a lot when I first moved to Colorado; I really wasn’t expecting how dry it was.

Another thing I’ve been playing around with are layering necklaces.  I found this great store on Etsy that sells pretty gold and sterling silver charms.  You can buy them with the chain or individually.  I opted for individual charms and found the necklace chains for cheap on eBay! Plus it’s fun to mix and match chain lengths depending on what I’m in the mood for.  The one I’m highlighting in this outfit is the compass charm and the triangle choker is from Forever 21.

Cognac & Cable Knit

by

Lately I’ve been kind of obsessed with comfy, over-sized sweaters. They have definitely become a winter-time favorite of mine, especially this one from H&M! My preferred sweater material is a slightly lower percentage of wool so you don’t start sweating the moment you head indoors.  This one has just the right blend of materials and has a lovely cable knit pattern.

Over the holidays I received a couple amazing gifts, one of them being this gorgeous rucksack/book bag sold on Etsy. It has a roomy main compartment along with a smaller outer section that is big enough to fit a small laptop, tablet and books. I plan on making this one of my go-to travel bags in the future, especially since it’s made out of a very sturdy leather! Travel bags can take a beating but I think this one will be able to withstand the wear and tear. Also an Etsy find, this pretty necklace is made from a rough cut Citrine stone. I really love rough cut stones in necklaces –they’re just so pretty! Another recent find has been this great jewelry and accessories boutique, Civion. They have super cute and minimal designs. I am especially a fan of their bracelets. This one is a simple, pretty design which goes with so many outfits that I find myself wearing it all the time. This week I’ll be collaborating with Civion on Instagram, so make sure to check out my Instagram page for a 25% off promo code in the next few days!

Cactus Print

by

Spring has sprung here in California, hence this new look! It has been perfect sweater + skirt weather.  The plants and flowers are going nuts after all the rain (a follow up post on this will be coming) and we did a little bit of edible plant hunting. I love the loose sweater and midi skirt look and I thought pairing cream and rust would be a nice color scheme. I’m most excited about this super cute bag I got from an Etsy store recently! How adorable is that print? It works with so many different looks and livens up the whole outfit. The size is great too–fits a phone, makeup, wallet and a few other things just fine. This big sunhat has saved me from many a sunburn and I highly recommend getting one for us pale folks. It’s still a bit chilly to wear sandals so I went with some comfy leather ankle boots instead.
