Coral & Gold Layer Bracelet

Coral & Gold Layer Bracelet

This post comes to you from sunny Ixtapa, Mexico, where I have some brief downtime and wifi access now that the sun has gone down. Interestingly enough, it’s the perfect opportunity to talk spring and summer accessories since I’m in quite the mood with my base tan over here. The combination of gold and coral is a hard one to top and that’s why I was drawn to this bracelet from indie brand Urbitious. The lovely texture and jingle to this layered piece will look great with any beach frock or flowy top you choose. Perk up your neutrals, or give some contrast against turquoise, royal blue, or vibrant mandarin. The choice is yours with this super cute and affordable piece!

p.s. be sure to follow me on Instagram for some vacation snaps & style inspo!

gidi Vintage Print Dress

gidi Vintage Print Dress

Summer is in full effect, so it’s time to crack out the bright and colorful dresses. I’ve been sashaying my way into more edgy pieces this year, stepping outside my basic solids and stripes. This gorgeous shift dress by  Taneasha Puntry’s label, gidi, is the perfect focal piece that’s all things summer. But before I get into telling you about why this dress is awesome, let me give you the scoop on the designer and label. Chicago Fashion Incubator Alumni Taneasha Puntry designed her label to compliment a woman’s natural curves, while still being chic and classy. She strives for a tailored look, inspired by Coco Chanel and Napa Valley; meaning every piece is great for both day and evening wear. What I love most about this dress is the blend of both classic and vintage: you have a classic shift dress silhouette with a bold, vintage colored print. Pair with nude heels and a jewel-toned clutch and you’ve got a stunning outfit. This is an indie designer on the cusp, based out of Chicago, that all our readers in the windy city and beyond should know about. You can find the entire gidi collection online which you can buy direct, but it is also currently exclusive to Strut boutique in Geneva, IL.

Maison Scotch Silk Stripe Shirt

Maison Scotch Silk Stripe Shirt

When it comes to fashion for women, few things provide finer polish than a gorgeous blouse. This silk blouse by Maison Scotch is just that! Topped with ornate beaded epaulettes, this coral and white striped shirt is the piece to dress up plain denim and your favorite flats. This top can likewise pair perfectly with slacks or khakis for a more business casual look. More subdued masculine elements like the granddad collar, breast pocket, and buttons give it a more relaxed vibe, even though the top is made of silk. Coral and white is one of my favorite color combos for the warmer months so this is a top I could live in all summer long. Would look absolutely lovely worn with turquoise accessories or nails!

Dorothy Perkins Coral Crochet Detailed Dress

Out of nowhere, it seems Indian summer is finally in full swing in San Francisco. October 1 hit and so did the heat. If you’re still on the hunt for lovely, light dresses to wear in this last stretch of sunshine, don’t miss this one by Dorothy Perkins. In a lovely peachy coral shade, it doesn’t get much more cheerful and feminine than this. Also of note are the adorable crochet panels around the neck, which make accessorizing a breeze (no necklace necessary!). Don with sunnies and bangles and you’re out the door. Currently wishing I had something like this to wear today, but sadly all of my dresses are packed up for my move.
