Summer School Style

Cameo Peplum Top

Last night I attended a ‘School Night’ session with Reward Style. It has been quite a few years since I sat in a classroom, however I am quite sure no classroom is like a Reward Style class room. Filled with Bay Area bloggers, a wine + cheese bar, a jewelry bar and a whole lot of fashion chatter, this classroom was like no other. I didn’t have a ton of time to get ready for this event, so I went with a couple of my closet staples: skinny jeans + nude pumps. I topped it off (literally) with my power peplum top from Australian favorite Cameo and ran out the door!

A lesson in the art of layering jewels by founder + designer of Gorjana, Gorjana Riedel inspired me to add on my new ‘Mila‘ cuff to create my own layered look.

Style On The Go

My everyday wardrobe has taken a major turn over the past two weeks. I am finding myself running around the city like a mad woman + doing my best to stay comfortable, yet still look chic. This is not easy. 90% of the time I am dragging Benji along, toting around my camera, laptop + an additional outfit AND running late!
These pictures were snapped right before a shoot. I knew I would be squeezing myself into some fabulous pieces and had to arrive hair + make up ready. I opted for a white button down (hair + make up friendly), work out pants (hush) and these AMAZING shoes from The Blonde Salad. What I love most about these pants is that YES, they are work out pants but they are so much more than that! These bad boys flatten the tummy, lift the rear, reduce the hips + slim the thighs. They are beyond flattering and provided me with the just ego boost I needed before getting in front of the camera. 

Check out a little sneak peek from yesterdays shoot with Inspirare + Jennymay.

Summer Layers

I am pretty sure this picture says it all.
There is no need for me to insert the oh-so famous Mark Twain quote. We all know, Summer in San Francisco is cold!
The funny thing about the day we snapped these shots however, is that we started in sunny North Beach and by the time we parked in the Marina the weather had gone from calm + sunny to windy + freezing. The unpredictable weather in San Francisco has taught us to always bring a  stylish layering piece (to avoid looking like a tourist in the weird hoodies from Fisherman’s Wharf) and to stock up on some fashionable yet warm basics—> Insert Marine Layer.

Green Juice at the beach? Absolutely!
The crew at Project Juice is cranking out some cold-pressed juice that literally knocked my socks off. After quite a few long nights celebrating the 4th + my new job, my body was begging for me to drop the beer + pick up some juice.

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Summer Soiree at the Marine Layer workshop. I am a major fan of the Marine Layer brand + I am also major fan of the hostesses for the evening Donna from So You Agree… + Carlina from Allergic to Vanilla. I had a blast partying with these ladies + shopping the oh-so amazing Marine Layer collection live from their San Francisco workshop/headquarters.

Dressing for this event was easy, since these Marine Layer shorts have been in heavy rotation this season + have proven themselves to be a staple in my wardrobe. Paired with a classic Equipment blouse + RayBan aviators, this look was perfect for a night out with the girls + a sweet summer stroll home with Benji.
