KEEP IT SIMPLE

Some days, particularly ones where all you plan on doing is picnicking on the beach, less is definitely more. All I needed was a comfy summer dress, flats to walk to the Japanese takeout shop in, and a bag big enough to hold a beach towel and the essentials.

One of my favorite purchases from Thailand--I use this bag every time I travel. It's perfect as a carry-on! :)

Totally didn't notice until now that everything I'm wearing has diamond shapes on it. Aztec print on the flats, studding on the dress, and quilting on the bag! Completely unintentional. lol!

Happy Thursday! xoxo :)

currently coveting: plus size & wide calf boots

[[ shop them here! one.   two.   three.   four.   five. ]]

In the past week, Southern California weather has done a complete 180 and it's now super cold and rainy. I can feel a cold coming on (ugh!), and in this chilly weather, all I want to do is layer on sweaters, scarves, and jeans! What better to pair with those than some new boots, right?! :D

I invest in a new pair each year, and I know how difficult it can be to find cute wide calf boots, so I've rounded up 5 of my favorites this season! They're all gorgeous and are true plus-size/wide calf boots with over 17" circumferences. I'm particularly in love with number two's gorgeous rich purple-ish hue. How amazing would those look with black skinny jeans or leggings and a slouchy, oversized sweater?? Adding to my cart now.

Are boots one of your Fall wardrobe staples? What are some of your faves? ♥

Shopping Spotlight: Wide Width Summer Sandals

I love shoes. They're supposed to be the great equalizer in fashion, after all! Everyone, regardless of size, can rock the hottest heel, right? WRONG. I guess I have fat feet too, because most shoes are too narrow for me. Major bummer. As a size 10W shoe, it can be really hard to find womens wide fitting shoes that fit well and DON'T look like something my grandmother would wear. 

Here are some faves on my summer sandal lust list!
