GILDED

Happy Friday guys! :D Embracing the remnants of long days and warm weather with bright colors and summery cuts!

When given the choice between gold and silver, I almost always reach for gold. There's something about the element that elevates any outfit. Whether it's the addition of a sparkly necklace, or the embellishment on a bright pair of shoes (how fun is the gold toe detail on these pumps?!), gold is always my favorite finishing touch.

I recently snagged this dress on final sale from LOFT but dumped it in my to-tailor pile since it was a few inches too long. Naturally I started rummaging through said pile when I ran out of clean laundry (and time!), so I grabbed the dress, brought the length up a bit with a gold belt, and headed out!

If you haven't yet, go enter the Thread & Butter giveaway! $250 to spend on anything, including shipping. I love that on top of clothes, they have Yosi Samra flats (perfect for travel!) as well as RGB nail polishes. So cute!

NEW TEXTURES

Still not over the crop top/high waisted skirt combo!

I don't know if I'm mentally preparing for fall or it's just my usual gravitation toward all things leather, but I can't get enough of wearing leather and leather-like pieces (even in this heat!). I love this shiny sort-of-faux-leather skirt, and played up its rocker vibe with a studded crop top (previously worn here)! Accessorized with a wide cuff from Hearts.com that I absolutely adore (how gorgeous is that chain and stone detail??), and some chunky booties with mesh insets.

Are you guys feeling the pull towards Fall? I can't wait for layers and coats and scarves again! :)

OFF THE BEATEN PATH

Took a weekend to get away from the hustle and bustle and reacquaint myself with parts of California I haven't gotten to visit since I was little! So much fun to get away from the crowds for a day.

I was recently introduced to Dr Jays, a budget-friendly e-tailer of fashion for men, women, and kids. This site has something for everyone. The plus size section checks in at 818 items! Crazy. This bold, striped dress was just too fun and summery to pass up, and believe it or not, it's the first article of orange clothing in my closet! I love the skater fit and the draped, jersey construction. Decided to keep things bright with some bright yellow accessories (completely smitten with this statement necklace!) and my all-time favorite denim jacket.
