It wasn’t until publishing time that I realized that this look was all about shades of blue. After seeing this striped maxi skirt in the window at Banana Republic I knew that it had to be mine. This skirt gives off a very resort feel. It makes me feel as if I am on a luxurious tropical vacation…even though I am really just running down Market Street.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I have been all about this Goorin hat lately + even though it is a bit of a statement piece, I have managed to work into nearly every look, including this one.
Day 2 of LuckyFABB was all about networking with my fellow fashion bloggers over brunch + bacon. REAL bloggers eat bacon, am I right or am I right?
This look was all about comfort. After running around LA in high heels and crop tops I had zero desire to be anything but comfortable. Boyfriend shorts = comfortable and I just snagged this amazing BF shorts at American Eagle. For some (odd) reason I always find the best denim shorts there!
Loved everything about Carlina’s blogger brunch look!
Overalls + Killer Shoes = The Spring Style at its best.
Last Thursday I boarded a flight to LA for my first LuckyFABB conference. I had no idea what I was in for + what the hell I was gonna wear! There is nothing more relaxing than a day by the pool in Beverly Hills. For this reason, I decided to hop on an early flight from SFO to LAX and enjoy a full day lounging by the pool before the conference festivities.
Once I had soaked up enough of the SoCal sun I decided to unpack. I am not quite sure what I was thinking when I was packing…6 pairs of shoes and 4 bags seemed reasonable at 6am Thursday morning, but I only ended up wearing my powder blue pumps (a 20 euro steal from Paris) and my Alexander Wang ‘Rocco’ throughout the entire trip…but a girl still needs options, right?
Early Friday AM the conference began. Day 1 was filled with gardening advice from Nicole Richie, a ton of sassy girl talk, champagne, more champagne…
My day 1 look ended up being heavily influenced by JLo. From my massive hoop earrings, to my crop top and ‘dunk’ accentuating skirt, I inadvertently channeled a whole lot of Jenny from the block!

On this trip in particular the lights of Paris caught my attention. Whether it was a chandelier in a ballroom, the neon lights of a storefront or the oh-so famous eiffel tower light show I loved it all…and could not stop taking pictures of the lights! Here are a few of my favorites:
The lights from the mysterious club next to our house that we could never get into. We literally tried to get into this club every night. Sometimes on the way out + sometimes on our way home. No matter what we were wearing, no matter what time of the day it was, we could NEVER get in!
But I still loved the lights!
The midnight eiffel tower light show + the chandelier from the Salon Impérial
The Hotel Costes is fabulous for oh-so many reasons including this amazing pair of neon lights by Claude Leveque in the Gallery PalaceCostes. According to Levegue,”I was going to use words to express the feelings that can be felt in Paris.” The series of words will be updated every month until July, all written in his godson, Romaric’s handwriting.
