White Out

IMG_0469

Are culottes really happening? I am still a little unsure as to whether or not I am ready to buy into this trend 100%, but when I spotted this jumpsuit on ASOS on mega sale I decided to give it a shot. Paired with white oxfords from my favorite San Francisco shoe brand, SUTRO I am ready to white out black out this Friday. What are your thoughts on the ever growing culotte trend? Will you be wearing them this Fall?

SJFW-It’s Like NYFW But Better

IMG_0018

While every other fashionista is in New York right now, I spent my weekend in San Jose. Who needs the white tents at Bryant Park when you have SJFW on Santana Row? Sporting my Cameo dress via Crossroads Trading Co. + Valentino maryjanes via T.J. Maxx I was a tried-and-true blogger on a budget!

Passed rosé you say? Ash will take two.

In addition to a rosé, Santana Row showcased their best designers on the runway for a fall preview ‘On the Row.’

I have been dreaming of these Donald J. Pliner boots since the moment I saw them come down the runway. I am obsessed with thigh high boots for fall + these have the perfect heel.

The Anne Fontaine crisp white blouses served an elevated classic style that left me dying for some lady ties.

The H&M collection gets me every time. If 90% of the Studio Fall/Winter collection wasn’t sold out it would be in my closet.

IMG_0126Chunky knits + plaid from Free People prepped me for cold weather…

But summer was still going strong in San Jose!

Falling Into Fall With Jenny Cheng

IMG_3894

Fall has arrived (sort of) here in the Bay Area + I took advantage of the first signs of Autumn to wear another dress from local designer Jenny Cheng (check out the first post here). This dress is perfectly playful + easy to layer. The clean silhouette + unexpected geometric print allow for this dress to go from day to night with ease. For this look I decided to highlight my ability to layer. San Francisco style is all about layering + since I was meeting photographer Eddie Hernandez at the Embarcadero center at just about 6pm I knew that the fog was ready to roll in + layers were a MUST.

The Lightweight Trench

IMG_9970

A lightweight trench is a priceless staple in my closet. I scored this Alexander Wang trench at the first day of the Barney’s sale many years ago. I have worn this over a dress to a wedding, over leggings on a plane + as a dress. It packs like a gem + seems to never go out of style. For this look I paired the trench with my AMAZING new Clare Vivier bag. I have been on a major shopping hiatus as of late but I decided to treat myself to a little birthday present + splurge on this beauty.
