Stars and Sparkles.

When I saw this amazing skirt of Chelsea’s, I knew I had to try it on immediately.  I’ve always wanted to figure out how to wear an amazingly fun, Carrie Bradshaw type skirt and this was the perfect skirt.  I basically raided her closet because the Sorel platforms are also hers and probably the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn.  Paired with a simple top, denim jacket, and my favorite hat, what more could you want in a fun outfit?

Rock It Wear.

IMG_5553_2Last October Nick and I went to Spain for a wedding and had a great time. We ate, we saw, and we (I) shopped. One of my favorite things that I picked up was this t-shirt from Mango. We’ve got a Mango in San Francisco but I hadn’t actually gone into a store until I was in Barcelona. It was full of great things but this beaded top was where it was at.

Brittany and I are going to the Smashing Pumpkins reunion tour in August and I think I’ve got my outfit picked out. I’m just counting down the days!

Comfy Casual.

One of my favorite purchases ever was this Athleta dress.  It’s so comfy and can be worn so many different ways.  I wear it around the house or dress it up with some strappy sandals and a good necklace.  Maybe it’s a west coast thing but anytime I can make casual work, it’s safe to say I will take that chance.

Best parts of this dress are the soft material and the thumb holes!

This paired perfectly with a big chunky solid colored soft necklace.

So simple and comfortable, this is definitely one of my favorite closet finds of the moment.

 

Secondhand Sweets

I have lately been scoring some great finds through second hand venues and I wanted to share a few of my favorites with you. Firstly, where I live we have a handful of great consignment spots and I have gotten a few things for $10-$20 that would have cost upwards of $200 new, it’s insane. Secondly, if I am looking for something in particular, my new go-to is the Poshmark app. I’ve actually been selling things as well, it’s kind of like a clothes swap that I am super into.

IMG_5487(I LOVE this Paige acid wash denim jacket, it’s got a great side zip that can make any outfit instantly cooler)

IMG_5489_2(I just got this dress from Zara and it is super soft. It’s great because I can wear it even when the weather isn’t too warm)

I’m all in for second-hand scores mostly because I get bored with clothing and want to switch it up which can be an expensive habit- but it is a fraction of the cost when I am taking it off of someone else’s hands. Let me know some of your favorite second hand finds in the comments below!
