<span class="s1">In case you haven’t pinned enough “fall inspired” fashion outfits, here’s another one for you! Featuring my favorite piece of clothing everrr: the camel sweater. I can’t tell you how many YEARS…thats right, YEARS I’ve been wanting a camel sweater but in the past I’ve always forgotten to look for ones (I get distracted easily) or the ones I wanted were waaay out of my budget (Anthropologie I’m looking at you!) and so I’ve been missing out on this classical piece of autumnal perfection. Paired with boots, a hat and the perfect satchel, and you look like you literally might have just stepped out of someone's fall fashion Pinterest board--which is totally fine with me.</span></div>

<span class="s1">After we took these pics, my husband and I strolled into this cute little cafe where I had the most delicious chai tea latte and we sat down to enjoy the afternoon and as we joked and laughed, I thought: what more could I ask for? They say women are complicated creatures and while I agree, I also think we want very simple things: a cute boy who makes you laugh, a delicious chai tea latte and a damn near perfect sweater and you got yourself a happy girl. </span></div>

Shopping for work appropriate outfits isn't something I particularly enjoy, partly because the style of clothing can look uncomfortable and to be honest, boring. I'm lucky to work in an office that is "business casual," however sometimes for meetings and things like that, it is nice to dress up a bit. Usually I always go for a pencil skirt with a silk blouse because you can't go wrong but it is really useful to have a couple of good pairs of slacks that you can wear for work. That is where these Victoria Secret slacks come in. They offer structure, a great fit, comfortable material and the slits at the ankles gives a little touch of "unexpected-ness" that keeps the whole outfit from seeming too corporate and boring. I swoon over little details like that because it is the small things that make all the difference. Also, another tip for work wear is to add a burst of color, either with your handbag or a bright scarf or nice piece of jewelry, to keep everything looking young and fresh. To find your perfect pair of slacks, check out <a href="http://www.zara.com/us/en/woman/trousers-c269187.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zara-</a>-they have some amazing cuts and styles (per usual).<br />

Sorry for the lack of posts last week-- things got a little crazy. The long hours at the office and doing school at the same time is really wearing me down. Plus all the in between stuff that needs to get done, like laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, errands...it NEVER ends. WTF haha. I'm kinda over being an adult and I really want to know who decided that we should work 5 days a week and only "rest" for two. All I gotta say is its messed up, you know what I'm saying?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ok now that I've had my little venting session, I hope you guys enjoy this post! I was really excied when I found this blazer at Zara. We all know a structured black blazer is a key wardrobe staple but equally as important is the<u> loose blazer.</u> I was never a fan until I actually tried one on and saw how it can really add that finishing touch to your outfit, especially in this gorgeous, rich brown color that is perfect for the fall season. Also, I haven't worn ripped jeans like this since high school but I gotta admit I'm kinda really into them. Hope you all have a lovely week!</div>

Kate Moss is without a doubt one of the biggest fashion influences of our time and will forever be a style icon. Her innate sense of style goes beyond your average--just threw this old thing on...she literally makes anything look <i>cool.</i> I was looking at pictures of her on Pinterest and noticed that a) she wears a lot of black and (b) she wears loose, easy fabrics and combines them with casual accessories like a hat or big sunglasses and minimal jewelry. She's pretty much got the cat eyeliner down and is often seen wearing this look on the red carpet. She pretty much encompasses everything I enjoy about fashion and just clothes in general. She makes it look easy and fun. Which is the most important thing when dressing yourself--have <i>fun</i> with it. Who cares if its on trend or not or if you're wearing boots that were in seasons ago? If you feel good and confident in your clothes no one will care what brand it is, or if its in season or even how much you paid for it. Dress for yourself!<br />

Sometimes I crave an all black outfit. In fact, I think I feel my best when I'm wearing black. I know everyone is all about bright colors these days but I've always been more into neutrals with black, navy, khaki and olive green being my favorite colors for clothing. The key to wearing an all black outfit is having at least one of your items stand out. It could be the shoes, or maybe a statement necklace or a beautiful embellished clutch like <a href="http://www.farfetch.com/shopping/item10619167.aspx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this one.</a> In my case its this lace skirt I found at Lulu's for only 34 bucks! I'd been wanting one for a while but of course being picky and on a budget--I had to wait until I found the perfect one. I can use this for different occasions and dress it up or down. Versatility at its finest. </div>

Like a little too much. I would happily eat it everyday however, my husband was not a fan for a while. They are kinda a weird food--they're basically little cabbages. Anyways, I've made brussel sprouts like this many times before and my husband has grown to actually like them (yay!). So here's a really easy, <b>healthy</b> and delicious recipe that you can whip up after a long work day and enjoy with a glass of wine...or two. Also, because I was trying to make this a healthy recipe I didn't add bacon but if you decide to go the naughty route I suggest tossing some crispy bacon at the end along with bits of feta cheese. #DIVINE<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s1360.photobucket.com/user/greciahamilton/media/IMG_5914_zps214b4a74.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Brussel Sprouts & Quinoajpg" border="0" src="http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/r660/greciahamilton/IMG_5914_zps214b4a74.jpg" title="Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Quinoa"></a><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ingredient List (serves 2)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- A bag of organic brussel sprouts (around 12 oz) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- organic coconut oil </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Half an onion (you could use a full one too but I only had half)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- 2 cloves of organic garlic - finely minced </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- 1 cup of quinoa </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- 1 3/4 cup organic chicken stock</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- salt & pepper</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- smoked paprika</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- turmeric</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- cayenne pepper (just a sprinkle of it to add some kick) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- balsamic glaze (optional)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Chop up your brussel sprouts and onions and mince your garlic </div>
<a href="http://s1360.photobucket.com/user/greciahamilton/media/IMG_5873_zpsa261525b.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_5873_zpsa261525b.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/r660/greciahamilton/IMG_5873_zpsa261525b.jpg"></a><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the quinoa I first sauté the onions in 1 tbsp of coconut oil and sprinkle a dash of turmeric--enough to turn the onions yellow. Add a dash of smoked paprika and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for a little heat. Let the onions sauté for about 3-5 minutes over medium heat before adding the quinoa.</div>
<br>

<br>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I add in the cup of quinoa (don't forget to rinse your quinoa thoroughly--use a sieve). Toast the quinoa for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Then add in the chicken stock. Turn up the heat and let it come to a boil. Then place a lid over it and simmer for about 15-20 minutes on low heat. </div>
<a href="http://s1360.photobucket.com/user/greciahamilton/media/IMG_5868_zpsf9f57ce2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo IMG_5868_zpsf9f57ce2.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/r660/greciahamilton/IMG_5868_zpsf9f57ce2.jpg"></a><br>
<br><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Steam the brussel sprouts first, either by microwaving them in a steamer for about 3-4 min or use a pot with a steamer insert. Then h</span>eat up about 3 tbsp of coconut oil over medium heat before adding in the onions and brussel sprouts. Sauté the onions and brussels sprouts, stirring frequently for about 10 min. You want some of the brussel sprouts to get a little burnt because this gives them a lot of flavor. Add in the garlic towards the end so it becomes soft not burnt. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (you can be a little generous) and a few dashes more of the paprika, turmeric and cayenne pepper. </div>

Fluff your quinoa and make a little "bed" for the brussel sprouts. Drizzle with a bit of balsamic glaze and dig in!! This is a meal you can feel absolutely good about. Brussel sprouts are loaded with the following vitamins: vitamin k, folate, vitamin c, vitamins B6, and manganese--to name a few. Turmeric and garlic are some of the most powerful spices and two of nature's most efficient healers. And we all know the benefits of quinoa. So all in all this is a very balanced and satisfying meal that you can adjust to your taste and preferences. </div>

<br />
In honor of school starting, and in honor of the fact that exactly 7 years ago (dang, I'm old!) I was headed to my college campus ready to begin this grand new adventure, I am dedicating today's post to some bits of advice that I wish someone had told <i>me</i> about college.<br />
<br />
1. <b>Don't be shy! </b>I know that this is really hard to do especially if you're like me and tend to be more of an introvert but I <b>promise</b><i> </i>you everyone is feeling the same way as you are and everyone <i>wants</i> to make friends. So don't be afraid to be the one that sparks up a conversation--be friendly! You'll be surprised at how quickly "cliques" can form and if you don't put yourself out there in the beginning it is harder to make friends later--especially if you live in a dorm. I was waay too shy at first and had to really force myself to come out of my bubble but it was WORTH it.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Don't Skip Class </b> I know this isn't what you want to hear, but trust me on this one. Unless you're sick in bed or reek of alcohol from your previous night of partying, really really try not to skip class. I speak from experience in saying that getting up and going to all your classes really does make a difference. At the minimum, it will get you up on your feet and you'll be most likely to have a productive day if you go to class--otherwise you might be tempted to eat cereal & doritos all day in your fuzzy robe and matching slippers.<br />
<br />
3. <b>Get a Part Time Job & Manage your Money Well </b>These two here are <i>so </i>important. Although it might feel like college is this little oasis/bubble from the real world (and it kinda is) sooner or later you'll have to join the masses and trust me when I say having a bit of savings really does help. No matter how little you can save each month it will add up through the course of 4 years. <br />
<br />
<b>4. Study Abroad</b> I have always regretted not doing this. It was my plan to study abroad in Brazil or Spain (I even learned Portuguese in preparation) but things just didn't work out. I had friends who did it though and they had the time of their lives. I truly believe that there is no substitution for traveling. Studying abroad teaches you things you could never really learn in the classroom. It teaches you to be self-reliant, it teaches confidence and you learn about other cultures and people different from you.<br />
<br />
<b>5.</b> <b>Discover your Passion</b> This is a big one. I wish someone would have sat me down and told me how important it is to find what you're most passionate about early on in college. So many of us get caught up in doing what other people are doing or studying what you think your parents want you to study in. I know you're only 18 when you first start college and you may feel way too young to really know what it is you want to do with your life or, you may think you have years to figure that out, but think of it like this: you have 4 years to discover your interests, what you don't like and what you could see yourself doing. It doesn't mean you have to have everything figured out (no one does) but you should take advantage of this time, really think about what you want to do and the person you want to be, because guess what? After you graduate and you're introduced to the 40 hour work week, you will find that you have many more responsibilities than you did in college and you may not have time or the opportunity to really think about your future goals and how to accomplish them.<br />
<br />
And one last piece of advice,<b> HAVE FUN! </b>There will never be another time in your life where you get to focus on YOU and what you want and who you spend your time with. College is liberating. There will be tears, sweat, A LOT of laughs, inside jokes and embarrassing pictures. Embrace it all because it goes by fast.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I LOVE anything nude. Wait, that sounds wrong. I mean I love neutral, flesh toned colors that are almost pink but leaning towards more of a beigy rose color...you follow? I think these colors are just so perfect for any time of year but especially for fall. Not that California weather is even <i>close </i>to being fall-like but as I sit here typing away, I'm dreaming of hot, frothy pumpkin lattes, comfy riding boots, and the coziest of cozy beige/nude sweaters. BUT since it isn't fall yet, I can't get away with walking around in boots just yet--but these brown ankle-strapped heels may hold me over me until I can slip on my boots. Oh and may I just say that ripped jeans are the shizzzz. They really spruce up an outfit which is so weird given that they're in fact <i>ripped. </i></span></div>

I have a love/hate relationship with LA. I absolutely love it because it is and always will be my home and there are SO many amazing restaurants and things to do but lately I've just been kind of over it. The traffic is awful, drivers are even worse and there's this materialistic mindset everywhere. Urth Cafe does kind of make up for all of that though as it is probably one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in LA. It was freaking hot this weekend so I tried to stay cool with these denim shorts and this breezy top I found at Mango. This week is going by so quickly and I feel like I'm drowning with all the stuff I have yet to do before the weekend. Seriously someone needs to write a book on how to be an adult cuz I like really struggle...can't I just be a kid and go play outside? Those were some great times. xoxo,</div>

I had some reservations about pairing this navy striped skirt with a burgundy blouse because I didn't know if it would work--especially with the black heels. But I ended up <i>loving</i> this outfit. Kind of an unexpected combination but sometimes the best outfits are created when we're literally rushing out the door and don't have time to over analyze and have that internal debate on whether the outfit works or not. I like the idea of just going for it--not just when it comes to pairing outfits but with anything in life. Some of my best decisions were a direct result of me not over thinking and analyzing and just going with what I felt was right in that moment. Over analyzing just confuses me and at the end of going around in circles you're back to square one. Don't wanna get all deep up in here but you know what I mean. Sometimes you really do need to just go with your gut! Now I think I must leave as my gut is telling me that I must eat that delicious home made chocolate chip cookie on the kitchen counter. Who cares if its my 5th cookie of the night? I must go with my gut.<br />

I have a love for simplicity. Simple but stylish and comfortable pieces of clothing are my absolute favorite. Every now and then I'll crave something girly/frilly but its rare. You'll never find me in some floral print pants or embellished blouses--or anything with a ton of sequins and sparkles. Even when I was younger I never really enjoyed anything that was too girly. I wore turtle necks and blazers in high school and I was obsessed with Ann Taylor. Clothes shouldn't need to be complicated and have a ton of "frilly stuff" to look good. So my style is simple. Give me a well structured black blouse, some comfortable pants and I'm a happy girl. Oh and cute shoes don't hurt. The less fuss the better.<br />

I'll admit my fall wish list is a lot longer than just these few items but this is a good place to start I think. Living in California, actual fall weather doesn't really begin until about October or so. So it gets kinda hard to shop for actual fall clothing but a leather pencil skirt has been on my wish list for a long time now. It is the perfect piece for this awkward summer to fall transition period as it can be worn with plain t-shirts & loose blouses or chunky cable knit sweaters. Also, who knew it was so hard to find the perfect black clutch? I've been looking and still no luck--at least with finding one under $50 bucks. What are you guys shopping for this fall? <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
There has always been an interest in French beauty products but over the past couple of years it seems to have increased dramatically. Before all this attention, these French skincare gems could only be found in French pharmacies and so people would stock up on all their fave products on a visit to Paris. Luckily for the rest of us, we can now easily order the majority of these products over the internet through sites like Dermstore, Net-A-Porter and Amazon. The products mentioned above are my favorite and there's still more I need to try. Here's a breakdown:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. <a href="http://www.dermstore.com/product_huile+prodigieuse+-+multi-usage+dry+oil_8253.htm?s_kwcid=TC%7C5319%7Cnuxe%20huile%20prodigieuse%7C%7CS%7Cb%7C9802773429&gclid=CJL4hubFssACFU2Rfgod8CgAsQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi Use Dry Oil</a> - I really love it for my hair (just on the ends) and I also use it for my legs and shoulders when I'm showing a little skin for that subtle sheen. It has the most divine scent that lingers throughout the day. I'm in love!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. <a href="http://www.laroche-posay.us/effaclar-duo-883140500759.html#start=2&cgid=collection-effaclar" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo</a> - This beats any spot/acne treatment I've ever tried. If you have any break outs or have those pesky little red zits that just sit there in the center of your forehead/cheek--this stuff will zap them away. It literally decreases the redness and size overnight--say whaaat?! Amazing. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. <a href="http://www.laroche-posay.us/la-roche-posay-thermal-spring-water-3433422404397.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water</a> - I've been using this brand since my college days and this is one of my favorite products from them. Its basically magic water in a can that you spritz on your face after cleansing and it not only refreshes your skin, but it softens, reduces redness & irritation and tones your skin with Selenium--a powerful antioxidant. And its cheap! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/392403/Embryolisse/lait-creme-concentrate-30ml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre</a> - A classic favorite that's been mentioned time and time again by models and make up artists all around the world. I'm on my 4th tube and I can't imagine not using this. It is the perfect moisturizer and you can even use it as a makeup remover and as a makeup primer! So gentle and full of shea butter,vitamins and fatty acids that plump up your skin. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/houbigant-paris-quelques-fleurs-loriginal-vaporisateur-eau-de-parfum/2993399?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=200&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_0_B" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Houbigant Paris Quelques Fleurs L'Original</a> - Not really a skincare item but I wanted to include this is as it is a timeless symbol of French elegance. The first formulation was created in 1912 (told you it was timeless!) and the name translates to "some flowers." It is a truly floral scent which I'm not a huge fan of but this is floral done right. It has notes of orange blossom, carnation, bergamot, tuberose and jasmine to name a few. In my opinion it is a master piece and I try to only wear it on special occasions. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=286726&catid=182950&aid=338666&aparam=286726&kpid=286726&CAWELAID=120142990000073511&CAGPSPN=pla&kpid=286726" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Avene Thermal Water</a> - This is very similar to the La Roche-Posay thermal water but I still wanted to include it as it comes in mini sizes that are perfect for travel. Also, Avene is brand I highly recommend as all their products are suitable for sensitive skin and are made with high quality ingredients. I'm also obsessed their <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Avene-Cleanance-Soap-free-Facial-Cleanser/dp/B000UER0AO/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1409113007&sr=1-1&keywords=avene+cleanance+gel" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">soap-less cleanser</a>, which I've run out of and need to buy more!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hope you enjoyed this post and that you'll try some of these products for yourself. They've made such a difference in my skin and I couldn't recommend them enough. </div>

This past Saturday was my husband's and mine 4 year wedding anniversary--4 years! I really can't believe how fast time flies and I know everyone says the same thing but it is truly crazy. We were 21 when we got married, I was fresh out of college and he had just joined the military-- we were a couple of kids! So of course to celebrate, we went out to a nice dinner and I was having one of those "I don't have a single thing to wear-omg I need to go shopping like right now-what the hell do I wear" moments? We've all been there. So I kinda threw this casual look together. We went to Novo in San Luis Obispo which was incredible, I whole-heartedly recommend it if you're ever in the area. They have a great selection of not just delicious food but healthy food too and they have the best Reisling I've tried so far. We had a great time listening to music, sipping wine, reminiscing about our early days and making inappropriate jokes about everything--I guess we still are a couple of kids. </div>

In my opinion, there is nothing better than some skinny jeans and a striped blouse. I always gravitate towards stripes and am constantly in search of my next striped item. I wear this kind of outfit to work a lot because it is casual but still put together. Most of the time I'll opt for flats or some sandals/wedges because I'm not exactly the most graceful person in heels. Like for reals I have some balance issues and if I fell at work I would never hear the end of it from my co-workers (we like to poke fun at each other--makes the day go faster, you know what I'm sayin? so they would seriously laugh their heads off if I fell in front of them--haha I would too so I can't really blame them). But I absolutely love high heeled shoes so I'm trying to get better about wearing them and I've made some improvements. Do any of you have issues with walking in heels or am I the only clutz around here? </div>

One of my all time favorite combinations is blue and black. In fact, I think they are two of my most worn colors. I find myself wearing these two colors all the time, to the point where I need to remind myself to wear something else. Do you guys ever do that? This weekend flew by and I can't believe we're half way done with August. I'm not ready for summer to end and I'm especially not ready for September to arrive. I'll be starting school Sept. 9th and considering I graduated from college almost 4 years ago, I'm feeling a little rusty. BUT it gives me an excuse to go "back to school" shopping...right? Not really. However, I will be doing a little "Back-to-School" shopping list and pull together some looks that I think would be perfect for school (high school or college) so stay tuned for that. :)<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">I have admired Kate Middleton's sense of style since my early days in high school, long before she was a Duchess. She epitomizes elegance, charm and grace. Her sense of style embodies so many qualities that I not only admire but aspire to be in some ways. Some people think her style is too safe or "boring" but I mean she isn't just any other celebrity and I think the way she dresses says a lot about the level of respect she has for herself and for others as well. Her outfits are always so lady like and sophisticated and I think there is nothing boring about that. The girl even looks chic in plain jeans, sneakers and a jacket--jealous much? I know I am. I've put together a little collage of some of Kate's staple wardrobe pieces that I think every girl needs--princess or not. :)</span><a href="http://s1360.photobucket.com/user/greciahamilton/media/186abf9120eb9b1f98ac79875f417876_zps22be4521.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo 186abf9120eb9b1f98ac79875f417876_zps22be4521.jpg" border="0" src="http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/r660/greciahamilton/186abf9120eb9b1f98ac79875f417876_zps22be4521.jpg" /></a><br />

A knit pencil skirt is probably my favorite piece of clothing. They're stretchy, comfy, and can be dressed up or down. I find myself struggling with what to wear to work even though I work in a pretty casual office environment. Most days I'm running late so I wear a lot of the same things but in different combinations and I like to dress it up a bit. I find that when I throw in a little more effort with what I wear I feel better throughout the day and am even more productive! That's something I learned from my high school English teacher. She would make us dress up before big tests because she said it provided that extra boost of confidence that can make a pretty big difference in the way we feel and perform. So even if its one of those days when you're feeling unmotivated and really don't want to go to work, throw on a skirt and some heels, maybe a swipe of bright lipstick and get to it! </div>

White jeans have always been a staple in my closet and if you're looking to buy a new pair or just add to your collection go with, J.Crew or Abercrombie. They make some of the best jeans and at a reasonable price too. Sometimes I'll try jeans on at a store and I think they're so amazing and fit so well but then I see the price tag... $200! Say what?? Ain't nobody got the money for that! Well I don't at least...even paying 100 bucks or so hurts my wallet. But I'm a jean girl through and through so I'm willing to pay a lil more on jeans but 200?! No thank you. Anyways, I think white jeans are so versatile and you can easily wear this outfit to work (add a blazer or light weight cardigan) and then transition to a night out to dinner or just drinks with the girls (I def. need a drink or two after work these days, you know what I'm saying?) Sooo, if you're unsure about white jeans, don't be. They really work in so many ways and its an easy way look a lil dressed up but still be comfortable. Oh! A side note, I have the most wonderful husband who surprised me with this gorgeous new Michael Kors bag for no reason at all! He always has the best surprises! :)</div>

I am SO freaking glad it is FRIDAY. Just had to get that outta the way. Right, now onto the outfit. I kinda just threw all this together last minute and I think this would work really well for those summer night dinners/outings when you don't want to be too done up but you don't want to show up with your flip flops either. This could also work for a date night! When my husband and I were dating I remember never knowing what to wear because I didn't know where he was taking me (he liked to improvise) and so I never knew if I should go really casual or get all glammed up. This outfit is somewhere in the middle and can I just say, my shorts feel like pajama shorts, s<i>uper</i> comfy. They're technically called culottes shorts and they're everywhere lately! I'm not complaining because I'm all over anything that feels like you've got pajamas on. Do you all have any weekend plans? (Mine involve drinking some wine and fully immersing myself in my new book!) </div>

Nautical stripes for summer--groundbreaking... (does this line ring a bell?) What is my excuse for wearing a blue and white striped dress in the summer? Um, I kinda don't need one. I know its not up there with the most creative outfit compilations but it is such a timeless look that I had to give in and share it. Plus I'm all about comfortable, classic pieces--the kind that don't require a ton of fussing with and can just be thrown on so you're out the door. I'm kinda lazy to be honest and as much as I love clothes and fashion I always go for comfort and "whatever is easiest." I just have to be selective when I shop to make sure I don't purchase something that needs a million different accessories to look good. The less accessories the better in my opinion. So here's my take on the classic striped dress--albeit a little shorter and girlier but still a good solid piece for many summers to come. </div>

My husband and I took these pictures last weekend when we stopped by the cutest little organic farmer's market off the 101 freeway (<a href="http://www.localharvest.org/classic-organic-farm-market-M18470" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">directions & info available here</a>). They had such a variety of vegetables including some things that I had never even heard of. I make it a big priority to try and only eat organic veggies and fruits so this market was a little slice of heaven for me, not to mention it was completely adorable! And you can tell from the pictures how vibrant and fresh all the produce is. I kept my outfit simple and comfortable with my favorite shirt everrr (seriously I wear this <u>at least</u> twice a week) and some denim shorts. Also, my sandals are the most comfortable shoes I own--I walked all over Spain's cobblestone streets in these babies and my feet were quite content. I hope you enjoyed the pictures! Happy Monday! </div>

I've always been a fan of polka dots and I don't think it is a style that will ever really be "out of style." Regardless of the season, they always seem appropriate and there is something really innocent about them. Another item I can't seem to get enough of are pencil skirts and just skirts in general. Pencil skirts though are so versatile, stylish, comfortable and well--a bit sexy too. What more could you ask for from one article of clothing? What items do you guys find yourselves wearing all the time? Are you into the dots too or am I alone on this polka dot thing? I hope you enjoy the pictures! We took them this past weekend and had a blast shooting in this incredible location. Happy Friday!</div>

This outfit embodies all of my favorite aspects of summer. Crisp white skirt, strappy nude heels that look amazing against a glowing tan, a flowy blouse in a vibrant green hue and minimal accessories to top the look. With a limited budget, I am very particular about the kinds of clothes I buy. I ask myself, do they fit right? Can I wear it with other pieces in my closet? Will it still look good in a couple years? If the answer is yes and the price fits--then I go for it! There is no need to spend a fortune to look your best--you just gotta keep your eye out for the good stuff. Do you have any shopping tips? I'd love to know :)</div>

I'm baaack! Like for real though-- and I thought I would get things started again with an easy going, fuss free outfit that is perfect for any occasion. Picnic date? check. Family barbecue? Check. Shopping day with the girls followed by a dinner at one of those LA hipster cafes that are way overpriced? Check and check. Told ya, I got you covered. Oh and even though you can't tell from the pictures, I'm SO excited about my <a href="https://usa.roots.com/SmallSchoolBagTribeLeather/Mensbags/Schoolbags//18030122,default,pd.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Roots School Bag</a> that I finally ordered! Isn't she a beauty? The softest, butteriest (is that a word?) leather I've ever felt and it works with a ton of different outfits. I talked about this bag and its level of perfectness <a href="http://graceatheart.blogspot.com/2014/01/currently-coveting.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> and now I finally have it! Anything you guys have been lusting over this summer? </div>
