I am in love with this polka dotted peplum top 

that I purchased on vacation in Hong Kong. 

I'm also loving my new black skinny jeans that are from Jigsaw London, 

which is the new company I am working for. 

Jigsaw has an amazing collection of classic pieces that still incorporate the hottest trends.

Fall Layers

Floral Cut Out Dress: Forever21; Polka Dot Button Up: Madewell; Polka Dot Tights: H&M; Green Oxford Shoes: Banana Republic; Leather Hand Bag: Vintage Coach; Ring: Vintage; Leather Belt: Vintage

I love the warm weather that comes with the summer months, 

but I'm ready from some cooler fall weather, 

which means one thing: layers!

I love layering clothes

because it's so interesting to see the different kinds of textural combinations that you can create. 

The weather is (obviously) still beautiful in California, 

so there was no need to layer a jacket. 

Instead, I layered this floral cut out dress over my staple polka dot button up, 

finishing the look with a pair of polka dot tights. 

Can't wait for fall to officially hit...

I have so many jackets that are dying to get out of my closet!

Leo Forever

       

Army Green Coat: Margaret O'Leary; Leo Print Dress: Sway; Sandals: Steve Madden; Color Block Clutch: Madewell; Jewelry: Vintage

I cannot believe it's already mid September. Crazyyy. 

Just got this leo printed dress from Sway, 

and I'm in love with it. 

Leopard print is always a good staple to have on hand. 

A very special thanks to my sister,

 who took these pics.

Dots on Dots on Stripes

Polka Dot Cardigan; Polka Dot Blouse: Madewell; Striped Skirt: UK Style by French Connection, Sears;  Flats: Steve Madden, TJMaxx; Necklace: Forever 21

PRINTS, ON PRINTS, ON PRINTS!

But really, I am kinda obsessed. 

This skirt is such a steal-- only twenty dollars!

I love the French Connection line at Sears, 

honestly one of my favorite places to find good quality and trendy clothing.

Put A Bow On It

Shirt: Sway; Shorts: BDG, Urban Outfitters; Loafers: Cole Haan; Clutch: Madewell; Hair Bow: Forever21

Yes, the title is a Portlandia reference...

except I am less of a bird person and more of a bow gal. 

I love my new Cole Haan loafers that I snagged at Nordstrom's anniversary sale. 

They are a great classic shoe that is comfortable and chic. 

One really can't go wrong when wearing a good pair of shoes.

Hi-Lo Layers

Dress: Sway; Button Up: Sway; Shoes: Urban Outfitters; Two Toned Leather Clutch: Madewell; White Sunnies: Therapy; Necklace: Stella&Dot

Jackie and I had the pleasure of having our photos taken by our friend Emily,

 who did an amazing job capturing both of our looks. 

I love this hi-lo dress but the length was a little too short on me.

Resolution: Layer on a button up to create an length illusion. 

Plus, I love to be a bit preppy, so this all worked out veryyy well for me!
