Just in Time for the Sun: Fellas

Hello again lovelies!

So this time around I thought I'd show you my favorite fashion picks for men! I was never one to look deeply into men's attire. Neither was I one to have an opinion on my favorite style for men. If I saw a guy that dressed really nice then I would give credit when it's due, meaning that I would tell him that I like his taste in clothing, haha. So I thought I'd give it a try since, for me, the way a guy dresses is important and says a lot about them. So here it is ladies and gentlemen, my favorite summertime styles for men!

Yours Truly,

Tank tops are a perfect wear during the summer time months. Dress them up a little with pants, as shown in this picture, or with a nice pair of shorts. I also like the small pocket design on the tank top. If give it a little more pop. Rather than it just being a basic white tank top. I've noticed that the whole roll up the bottom of the pants thing has become more popular and it looks nice if done correctly. The reason why I chose this picture in particular is because he is wearing lighter colors; white and beige to be exact. I think summer is a great time to part from the typical blues and blacks and indulge in some other colors like these.

I love button ups and they can be worn any time of year. The classic plaid and jeans combo is always a great go to. But in this picture he looks summer ready because of the colors!! I cannot stress enough about color. Summer time is the time for fun and adventure. The model's jeans are great as well. They aren't your regular blue washed jeans. They're a light blue, but they almost look white. Don't be afraid to be a little daring in your color pallet. Try some colors that you wouldn't necessarily try and it doesn't have to be too much. For example, even though it isn't a lot the orange looks great in the shirt. Not everyone is fond of the color orange but there is just enough to make a statement. Summer isn't just about having fun in the sun, it's about having fun with color as well.

I love this look for leisure time. Basketball shorts and a tank top or a baseball tee. Comfort is important as well and this look is great for just hanging around friends, doing nothing, or just at home staying out of the heat. There is nothing wrong with going back to the basics and staying simple. It looks good too. ;)


















What are some of your favorite male looks for the summer?

Just in Time for the Sun: Ladies

Hello my lovlies! The Spring semester is over. Which means it is time to live it up in the summer time. This year's Summer is going to be totally different. Now that I'm in college and working I have a new appreciation for Summer break and the season of beach trips, spontaneous adventures, and warm nights. To accompany these great adventures and memories, clothes play a fun factor in a summer to remember. I haven't done a "fashion" post since the fall/winter season and I think it's about time I pop a little more color and style into this precious blog of mine. Hope you all enjoy my picks for this year's summer season. ^.^

Maxi Dresses

I will admit, I have fallen in love with these and the simplest way to define them is that they are long dresses. When I was younger I refused dresses with a passion. I thought they were too girly. I was so wrong! Dresses, especially maxi dresses in particular, are so light, comfy, and versatile. They can be worn casually or can be dressed up with a few accessories and a nice bag. Maxi dresses are definitely my go to attire. Whether the dress is one solid color or patterned from top to bottom, there is just something about them that won't let me stray away.

High Waisted Shorts

I've noticed that these shorts have risen in popularity and I think they're perfect for the summer. I have yet to where these shorts only because I have doubts about whether I would look right in them. But I definitely applaud those that can rock these shorts right.

Maxi Skirts

Maxi skirts are my second go to attire. They aren't constricting and can be dressed up or down or anyway you want to.













What are your summer go to clothing items? :)

Staying Cute and Warm in the Crisp Winter Weather

Hey lovelies, even though it is technically still Autumn, December has brought in the Winter chill and it is definitely starting to set in, especially in San Francisco. Here are some ideas of staying warm and cute in the wind chill of the upcoming winter. Below are some of my favorite individual items and outfits.
Hope you enjoy. :)

Cardigans: Recently since I've moved to NorCal I have fallen in love with cardigans. They're so cute and warm. You can wear them with jeans or leggings. I personally love wearing cardigans with leggings and knit beanies. 

Infinity Scarves: Before moving up north I didn't really like scarves. In the area that I lived in scarves weren't really necessary because it never got that cold. Since I didn't need them I didn't wear them and I didn't feel like wearing a scarf as a fashion statement. But, now that I need them in San Francisco they've become one of my favorite things to wear! I wear them for warmth and as a fashion statement.

Boots: Boots are now one of my obsessions, point blank. Whether they are heeled boots like these, under the knee high boots or cute flat boots like the ones below. I'll wear them. Especially with a cardigan and a cute pair of leggings.

Here are some outfit ideas for the winter season that I find super cute!

Over the past season or two I have gotten into neutral colors like beige. I've also found a new love for the color maroon. I feel like neutral colors can go with anything. That's probably why they're called neutral colors in the first place, lol.

Purple has always been a favorite color of mine since I could remember. The knit cardigan and grey boots go perfect with the jeans and what's great about the color of the cardigan is that any pattern and color scarf goes well with it. Another pro to neutral colors. :)

Here is a simple outfit with a cardigan and boots. I couldn't turn it away because of the light brown and dark brown combination. The boots are cute and can be worn in any weather because they're made out of leather.

I really like this outfit because it's not dressy, it's simple, and it's still really cute. All that's needed is your favorite pair of skinny jeans, a zip up sweater, warm knit boots, and a purse. I personally don't think the kind of purse matters. It can be a backpack purse or a regular purse. You'll still look cute.

Another outfit that I love now that I have to dress warmer is definitely the combination of long skit sweaters and leggings. I feel like it's a cute and innocent look. There also isn't anything difficult about the outfit and it's still really cute. It can be an easy go to outfit if you don't know what to wear. Another thing I like about this outfit is that you can do so much with it. You can wear boots, add a scarf, and/or a beanie with it. Either way, you'll look and feel warm and comfortable.

 I hope you enjoyed these outfit ideas. Hopefully they inspired you to create your own personal winter wonderland wardrobe. No matter what, the best outfit is the one that is stylish and one that you love. <3
