STRONG STRIPES

Hii, friends! Happy hump day! I hope you guys are having a good week so far. Mine has busy, but fun! Today I got to celebrate another blogger, @simplyxclassic, birthday at Sushi Roku and it was so delish! They spoiled us with a trillion courses of nonstop yumminess. There were a bunch of other OC bloggers there, it was so fun and cool to meet them in real life. They have all been blogging for awhile and have great followings, so it was super informative to chat with them. I adore that starting this blog has allowed me to meet other people who share my love of fashion! It really has been life changing for me to dedicate so much time to something I truly love.

Anyways, back to today’s post. Stripes! They are such a trend for Spring and I love them. Totally classic and so easy to wear (especially when you choose vertical like the ones on these Rag and Bone shorts). I found these in LA at Intermix a couple of weeks ago when I was up visiting my sister. I love the navy/white/black mix. EVERYTHING, right? I paired them with this silk cropped tank from Kendall & Kylie (yes, you read that right..I am just as surprised as you that their line has some totally cute pieces).

Since the neckline on the tank is so simple, I decided to layer on some necklaces. I have not been swayed much by the choker trend, that is until I saw this perfect one (the “millie collar”) on of my college friends a couple of weeks ago. She is a jewelry designer (brooklyngracejewelry.com) and made this totally fab dainty little thing! I adore the triangles and just that it’s so minimal and major at the same time. I layered it with my Gorjana lariat.

For shoes, I was feeling casual, but wanted some height, so I went with these from Raye. How fun are the suede straps and espadrille bottom? They are beyond comfy too. To bring out the gold in the necklaces and the black in the shoes, I went with my all timer Chanel bag. I got this beauty for my 30th birthday and 5 years later (ugh, can you believe how old I am?!) it’s still one of my ultimate go-to’s. (And I know I will be rocking it when I am 75, living in Palm Desert, with like 5 dogs in tow!)

To finish off this fun little look I went with these new, totally oversized Le Spec sunnies. I got these at my event at Bloomingdales and absolutely love that they are so huge and so well priced ($59!)! Kinda obsessed with their whole line!
