SJFW-It’s Like NYFW But Better
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.
Chunky 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
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.
What I Wore
Dress: Jenny Cheng (c/o), Lover No. 1 (Royal Blue), Top: Banana Republic, Fitted Non-Iron Textured Shirt, Jacket: Zara (old). Shop new here + here. Shoes: Stuart Weitzman via Poshmark, Bag: Clare V, Petit Duffle, Hat: Goorin Bros., Good Hat (Green, Earrings: BaubleBar, Pearl 360 Studs, Glasses: Karen Walker, Betsy.

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.
While shooting in the park I finally ran into the oh-so fabulous Caroline from PERFECT 10 SF. We have been trying to meet up for months + literally ran into each other in the park!
