Do you have a go-to travel outfit?

I do!

I have such a love/hate relationship with travel these days. I love to explore and see new places, but I could not possibly hate San Francisco International Airport more! While YES I am always the last person to board the plane – timing is not my thing AND SFO does not make it any better.

SO, with all the CHAOS at SFO I have made a commitment to myself that if I am going to be the idiot running around the airport like a chicken with its head cut off, I am going to be COMFY AF in my travel outfit. Now, I’m not talking about my ‘Sunday Scaries’ pajamas…because those bad boys are AWFUL and can only be seen by Benji and the UBER eats delivery person. I am talking about the ultimate travel outfit (above). Sweats that are COMFY AF, but looking fancy + expensive…because they have perfectly placed holes in them (duh!) – throw in a metallic sneaker + bag, oversized sunglasses and a glass of champagne and I am ready to travel…just don’t put me in the exit row after a trip to Las Vegas (NOT a good story).

Travel is not cheap, especially when it comes to luggage! Why does that bad boy have to set you back $600? Well…lucky for YOU today is the first day of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (early access). So fire up your Nordstrom Card (or borrow your Mom’s like me) and get to shopping!

Summer Style with J. Crew at the Loews Regency and the Pinterest Lens

First things first can we take a minute and talk about how amazing this view is?

There is quite the backstory to these photos. If you follow along on my Instagram and my Instagram Stories then you know that I took quite the fall a couple of weeks ago walking home with Benji and my meatball sub sandwich from Tony’s.

(Don’t worry I saved the dog + the meatball sub)

So much of a fall that I ended up in the emergency room with two pretty nasty cuts on my face, one on my shoulder and one on my knee. Not only did these injuries hurt like hell, they also put the blog on hold…for a couple of days – until my friend Teresa invited me to the Loews Regency San Francisco for their Spirits in the Sky event. If you can’t tell from the photos we are on the highest sky deck in San Francisco and Karl The Fog decided to take the afternoon off and let us snaps some amazing photos.

BUT taking photos with cuts on your face is NOT easy. I mean how many shots can I take with my head down or the hat over my face?

The answer is 3!

But thanks to Teresa, ALL The Spirits in the Sky (c/o Loews) and my killer photographer, Brad I was able to still shoot this summer style look without exposing too much of my face from the Great Fall of ’17.

Now searching for the perfect summer look can be HARD. Summer in San Francisco is unpredictable (DUH!) and we are in that weird inbetween phase between Sping + Summer when all I want to do is lay out, wear a summer dress and sip on Rosé.

So where do we all go when we are looking for inspiration?

PINTEREST

And thanks to the new Pinterest Lens you can point your phone at anything from a straw hat to a summertime spirit and see what ideas it finds. Lens is all about helping you find ideas inspired by things you see in the real world. I mean how often do you see something you love, snap a photo and let it die in your photo library? I am the queen of taking inspiration photos, never doing anything with them and then deleting them when my phone notifies me that it is ALWAYS out of storage.

Don’t let those inspiration photos die and just point Lens at an object and tap to discover related ideas. Try pointing it at an ingredient to discover recipes, or use it on a pair of shoes to see similar styles, along with ideas for what to wear them with. You can even search for ideas using images from your camera roll.

Lens lets you discover ideas inspired by anything you point your Pinterest camera at. You can even use photos you took earlier just by Lensing your Camera Roll.

Lens is available worldwide on the Pinterest mobile app. All you have to do is:

1. Update your app

2. Open the app to the search bar

3. Hit the camera icon

4. Take a photo with Lens or pull a photo from your photo library.

Have you tried Lens yet? I’m a big fan!

What I Wore:

Hat: J. Crew, Straw hat with rainbow pom-poms

Top: J. Crew, Embroidered linen-cotton top

Jeans: FRAME, Le Original distressed high-rise straight-leg jeans

Bag: Furla, Metropolis Mini Crossbody

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban, Mirrored Polarized Aviator Sunglasses

Shoes: Sam Edelman, Brandie Ankle-Wrap Flat Sandal (see full blog post on them here)

#AsSeenOnMe: My Love Affair with ASOS

July 2, 2017KatWalkSF 26 Comments

KatWalkSF, Kat Ensign, Fashion Blogger, Fashionista, SF Blogger, Blogger Style, Online Shopping, ASOS Off Shoulder Dress in Postcard and Stripe Print, ASOS Tiered Gingham Maxi Dress with Contrast Tie Back, ASOS HATTON GARDEN Embroidered Mules - White, ASOS, As Seen On Me,

Have you shopped on ASOS?

Update: ASOS I having an epic sale this weekend and it is time to stock up! Shop more. Save more. // $50 off $200 // $70 of $250 // $100 of $350 // Check out my full 4th of July recap here.

Let me tell you about my love affair with ASOS. Imagine a site where you can discover the latest and greatest in men’s fashion and women’s clothing online + shop from over 40,000 styles. Add in unlimited two-way shipping for only $19 a year and you’ve got yourself a serious shopping problem…or I’ve got myself a serious shopping problem and for this post, I decided to share with you some of my favorite looks from my recent ASOS haul.

Starting with the Off Shoulder Dress in Postcard and Stripe Print dress above. I absolutely adore this dress and apparently, so does every blogger because it SOLD OUT in record time! You know that it is a special piece when both Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific and Amber Venz Box of VENZEDITS are all sporting the same dress as you in the same week from ASOS.

I can’t stop rocking this dress – and while it keeps on going in and out of stock on ASOS the equally fabulous skirt version is in stock and on the top of my shopping list, as well as some other postcard printed versions below!

Check out my full recap from this picnic here.

Next up is the Gingham Maxi Dress with Contrast Tie Back that I wore to last week’s Cinco de Mayo event at Tacolicious with Milagro Tequila. First of all, I can NOT get enough gingham this season and the red contrast ribbon detail in the back (barely shown) sets this dress apart from anything else out there. The $64 price tag doesn’t hurt either.

And last but not least the Hatton Garden Embroidered Mules – one of my absolute favorite pieces from my recent haul. I can’t remember where I first saw these shoes (I think on Instagram), but I immediately fell in love. I adore white shoes – combine that with embroidered details and a $72 price tag and I was sold.

P.S. The post is NOT sponsored. I am just that big of a fan!

The Perfect Purple Romper with The Outnet: Summer Mode

Let’s take a minute to talk about this purple romper!

Summer style calls for rompers, but my fellow curvy girls out there know that romping around can be a challenge when you have a butt and hips! We’ve all experienced that unfortunate front or back (or both) wedgie…so when I found a romper that actually fit my body I nearly died and went straight into summer mode. And when I found this Zimmermann purple romper on The Outnet for a fraction of its original retail price I died!

Are you familiar with the brand Zimmermann? Australian sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann launched their ready-to-wear and swimwear line in 1991, with a focus on clever cuts (prime example above) and delicate prints. Turn up the heat in their sophisticated swimsuits, versatile bikinis and fabulously feminine dresses and don’t be afraid of their price tags! Check out everything The Outnet has to offer from Zimmerman here (including this purple romper).

I also just discovered this jewelry brand and immediately fell in love. The delicate feminine pieces pair perfectly alone or stacked with pretty much anything in your collection.

Zimmermann’s purple romper is designed with generous cutouts that draw attention to the narrowest part of your frame.

#GENIUS

This purple romper is perfect for offsetting sun-kissed skin and my skin finally has a little color thanks to the oh-so-stunning Kailua beaches. This rich grape purple color of this romper works for every skin tone and the airy crepe fabric is a dream in the heat. Elasticated cuffs emphasize its chic, billowy sleeves and the hemline hits you at just the right spot. You can easily wear this romper with flats or an espadrille wedge like I did.
