White On White

Recently, I've been toying with the idea of doing outfit posts; I decided there is no time like the present! We shall see how it goes... 

Memorial Day has officially come and gone so I'm no longer breaking the "don't wear white before Memorial Day" rule in the white on white outfit I wore out to dinner (Central Bistro - delish!) in Phoenix. To liven up my all white ensemble, I mixed in a collection of bracelets along with accessorizes that stood out against the white. This is a good general rule of thumb when working with whites.

P.S. I'm going on the record here as saying that I don't believe or follow the "no white before Memorial Day" rule!

Blue Crush

Sorry for the lack of posts loves! I was out of town but now I'm back in California...

Blooming in blue via Vogue Spain May 2013. I'm shinning my style spotlight on this gorgeous editorial because I can't get enough of the color scheme, floral headpieces, and the setting. Swoon.

I'm On A Boat

The ultimate blue and white combination: crisp white basics against the blue ocean. I used this color scheme as inspiration for my work outfit today but, to be honest, I wear blue and white A LOT.

French Navy

Blue and white stripes are the most classic looks ever, hands down.

One of the first styling tips I picked up from my style savvy mother was: when in doubt, go with timeless French navy stripes.

With spring break packing in my future, I know I'll be bringing multiple styles of blue and white stripes to throw on at the beach in the afternoon.

Beachside Bliss

I am dreaming of the beach. Lucky for me I am heading there tomorrow! This charming oceanside cottage is getting me in the mood to be near the water. Everything about it is splendid from the striped floor rugs to the ceiling beams to the blue and white color scheme to the gorgeous fireplace. And let's not forget the ocean views!
