Blocks of Color.

Recently the weather in SF has been beyooooond amazing and with all this warm sunshine the thought of dressing in anything black scares me.  Luckily, bright and bold colors were shown all over the runways during fashion week and with the warm weather that is all I can imagine myself in.

Cobalt's, Kelly greens, vibrant oranges, yellows and magenta's are the perfect hues to add to your Spring/Summer wardrobe.  Don't go all 80's and wear an outfit made up of only one shade, but instead mix it up and wear different colors at the same time.  

Current Obsession:

I just bought this blazer (along with the rest of my office) from Zara. It is the perfect shade of green, and paired with white pants I will be summer ready :).  Think preppy, not Wimbledon referee.

Current Inspiration:
www.Cupcakesandcashmere.com is one of my favorite blogs for getting my food and fashion inspiration.  Emily does a great job of color blocking here, and I can only hope to find a pink skirt as cute as hers.  PS her whole outfit is from Zara-AKA affordable.

With more 80 degree weather to come and the hot sun shinning bright in SF, this photo is the perfect example of dressing for warm weather.  Even still, I find myself asking "is it Summer yet"?

Trouser Jean Dream

I am always on  the lookout for next denim trend, because as we all know denim is the staple to most of our wardrobes.  I am currently loving the trouser and flair trend that is happening this Spring and Summer.  With the popularity of boho maxi skirts and dresses, it's no surprise this trend has caught on.  The trouser jean was originally introduced to women's denim about 3 years back, when high waisted wide leg jeans began making frequent appearances all around Los Angeles.  Again, we are seeing this high waist trend, but lower rises with the same flair (literally) are equally as fashionable.

With San Francisco being one of the more casual city's, I appreciate being able to have the option to trade out my once very casual skinny jeans and opt for the tailored, sleek look of this wide leg silhouette.

Current Obsession:
You just can't go wrong with J Brand.  These are amazing. Enough said.

Current Inspiration:

I love how casual these ladies are and their jeans are making them look so boho chic.

I usually love Lo's LA style, but never should you forget to take your pants to a tailor!

All Wrapped up.

In a city like San Francisco where the weather never makes sense, it is important that one layers themselves up as much as possible.  Lately, my favorite accessory has not been one of my many bracelets, but instead it has been the scarves that have not only kept my neck warm, but also gave me an amazing pop to my outfit.

Current Obsession:
 Dying to find a good Missoni scarf.  I have yet to find one in a color scheme that I love, but once I do please believe I will be buying multiples.

(Missoni Scarf $245)

Current Inspiration:
I practically live in my Pucci scarf.  If it's not around my neck it's tied around my bag.  One of my favorite items in my closet.  PS- I did not pay retail for my scarf, I bought it at Crossroads for $60.

(Pucci Scarf $285)

One word, INSANE. This camel colored cashmere scarf practically doubles as a blanket.  I looooooooove this!!! Too bad when I went to purchase it, Bloomingdale's was sold out :(.
