Fiery Red

I'd love to lie and say this post is about my outfit, but the true star of the show is my new pout. Sephora was having a friends and family sale and you better believe I hopped on that train. Refilled on my staples (a beauty post on that soon) and thought it was the perfect time to try a new lipstick. So, I grabbed this new color (in "fiery") and now every time I wear it, I feel like it does all the talking. So, while I'd love to sit here and tell you that my new harem pants and striped jacket are my favorite parts of this outfit, the truth is, it's the lipstick.  

Video: 30 Seconds with LeTote

And because my love for LeTote hath no end, how about another video? Here's a quick one where I styled a couple more of their pieces. This plaid button up now lives in my closet because I couldn't dare send it back. I'm sure by the time the year ends, half my closet will be filled with goodies I couldn't resist scooping up. Happy Friday, friends! 

Blue Angel

Fleet Week is without a doubt my favorite time of the year in San Francisco. I feel like the whole city waits for the sailors to come in town, rooftop soirees, and a whole weekend of nonstop BBQ's and sunshine. I took advantage of the warmth (hellooo 80 degrees!) and dressed in my best Blue Angels attire - this little number via LeTote. Thank goodness for LeTote, too. I was running out of clothes (laundry is my most hated chore) and wasn't sure if I'd have time to do a couple loads before go time. Luckily, my latest LeTote arrived just in time to provide me with this stunner. Now the inner debate on whether to send this piece back or keep it in my closet. Oh, LeTote - always tempting me.

The Perfect Honey Brown Highlights by Sassoon Salon

After I cut my hair back in April, I decided that I also wanted to lighten it. I've never completely never dyed my hair, so highlights have always been my only option. After getting my hair highlighted by Sassoon Salon's color specialist, Nathan Booth in July, I decided to head back in and get my hair done one more time in August. What came about was the perfect honey brown color I was looking for. (You can see it even more so in this set of photos.) I had a chance to ask Nathan a few questions about achieving the perfect shade for every hair color. Click to read more!

Crazy for Crop Tops

I know. Looks familiar, doesn't it? That's because it's a combo I can't get enough of - jean jackets and crop tops in shades of blue. Call me a repeat offender. Go on. I deserve the title. When it's warm out, but the wind kicks in, I prefer a loose crop top, oversized denim jacket, and easy to wear pants. Mules? Yeah, they work, too. All about playing with proportions, I guess.

When Life Hands You Lemons

I owe y'all a post (or two, or three). Do accept my apologies for being a bit of a slow poke around here. Last month was busy with new ventures and the beginning of this month slowed down as I somehow caught a bit of a bug. Luckily, I snapped a few outfit photos (albeit on my trustly iPhone) before I spent some time sick in bed. But you know what? When life hands you lemons, you wear that sh*t. Thankfully, LeTote prepared me for the occasion with this bright yellow JOA midi. Wore this out to a tasting dinner with ZICO for their new juices - more on that later. Paired the bright hue with an old closet fave, this ombre button-up from Crash & Burn. And believe it or not, made it through an eight hour+ day in my trust Zara heels. What a woman can't do in the right pair of shoes. Am I right?
