Not So Risky Business - The Plaid Blazer Trend for Fall
One of my favorite looks for Fall is a grey plaid blazer! You’ve seen them everywhere! It’s an amazingly versatile piece that you can pair as if it were a neutral. For this looks, I’ve styled black shorts, Fila platform sneakers, my gorgeous Mejuri Large Hoops and an YSL cross-body bag with my blazer to create a quintessential trendy look for this season.
All Things Athleisure
This is my outfit 9 out of 10 days. I love dressing up for work, events, and blog shoots, but most days, you can find me in Lululemon leggings ready for Pilates. Going to a workout class, whether Lagree or doing something on ClassPass, is part of my daily evening routine. I’ve never been a morning workout person, but for me, it’s one of my favorite things to do after work to wind down and get reinvigorated.
Over the Knee Boots for Fall
This Fall, I’ve truly embraced cozy sweaters, neutral tones and textures. One of my favorite inexpensive places to get shoes is JustFab, so when I was able to partner with them to wear their Adina Over the Knee Heeled Boot in taupe, I was so excited to style them!
Wine Tasting & Wrap Dresses
Last weekend we went wine tasting in Eastern Washington with the family! It's always great to have an excuse to drink wine with the fam, and also no better place to wear one of my favorite dresses of the summer - a Wayf ruffled wrap dress (different color here). Wrap dresses are so flattering and fit into almost every occasion. They're easy to dress up as well as down, and a feminine ruffle adds a beautiful touch.

Keep reading to learn how I got ready for the festival before I left Seattle as well as my final outfits, makeup and accessories. I hope you are inspired by some element of my outfits, so leave me a comment below with which day was your favorite look!
Winter Whites
Conforming isn't any fun! Spice up your winter wardrobe by leveraging your winter whites that have probably been pushed to the back of your closet until Summer. I recently found some white Topshop culottes (similar ones from H&M here) which inspired me to pull together an all-white look that's chic but also unexpected this season.
Eyelet Black Jumpsuit
I'm thrilled to share this look with you! I found this black eyelet jumpsuit at Anthropologie (similar one here) in the sale section since the zipper was broken. They had a great sale-on-sale deal, so I walked out of their U-Vill location with a screaming deal! With a quick trip to a seamstress to fix the zipper, it was as good as new!
New Years Eve Lookbook
Another year is coming to a close which means it's time to put on high heels, wear some 2018 glasses and pop champagne! New Years can be so much fun if done right, so to help you feel (and look) your best, I've put together three outfit ideas in this year's NYE lookbook!
Red Polka Dots
In the midst of Christmas shopping, I decided to pop into Forever 21 to see if I could find a dress for my Secret Santa Brunch (read about the party here!). I saw this beautifully vibrant red polka-dot wrap dress for $17 and fell in love! I couldn't believe I found such a festive dress at such a killer price!
Chenille Pieces Worth Adding to Your Closet
So many of you loved this mustard oversized chenille sweater from Zara that I recently posted on my Instagram! Here I've paired it with black denim and studded flats from Forever 21 (similar here). This has been my go-to sweater this Fall since it's so comfortable and is great for lounging, work, out to drinks, or really anything!
Fall Tones and Quilted Bags
When I posted this look to Instagram, there was so much love for this coat! Wool coats are such a classic staple for Fall and Winter, but can honestly be hard here in Seattle since we only get brief windows of rain-free days to wear them.
Feminine Leather
I'm completely obsessed with this look! I love the toughness of a leather jacket, but it can sometimes be hard to wear as daytime outerwear without looking too bold. In this post, I've paired a faux-leather jacket from Topshop with a feminine white shift dress from Zara. Together it's the perfect combo of feminine and tough!
Everything You Need to Know About Rent the Runway Unlimited
Shopping has always been a hobby of mine! Growing up, I would love to go to Nordstrom or even thrift stores to scour the racks to find new, cute pieces. While shopping is fun, it can definitely get expensive!
Little Black Dress
A little black dress never goes out of style, but a time for it to really take center stage is in the Fall! When the weather is cooling down, a long-sleeved black dress like this one from See by Chloe, pairs perfectly with a bold lip and black leather booties. Enjoy this look book to find your outfit inspiration!
Cherry Blossoms and Spring Outfit Staples
Every year a pilgrimage heads to The Quad at the University of Washington to see the rows of cherry blossom trees in bloom. As a Seattleite and UW alum, I honestly have taken the cherry blossoms for granted, as a consistent sign that spring has arrived. The Quad in bloom is beautiful and I'm glad it's become such an icon of the area where locals and visitors alike and come to celebrate the new season.
After fighting our way through the crowds to get our designated photo patch, my friend Neha and I shot away! White jeans, a basic T and beige accessories are perfect for spring and will be staples throughout the season into summer.
Seattle Style Summit
Anytime a group of like spirited individuals comes together, it's empowering. That's exactly how I felt after leaving Saturday's Seattle Style Summit put on by Gossip & Glamour. A room full of 100+ Seattle bloggers who were all there to learn, laugh, take photos and support each other. What a cool environment to be in as a new blogger!
