A Fresh Take On Basics from Shopbop

I did a much needed closet clean out last weekend. If I didn’t have a real reason to keep it, I pulled it. I’ve become much better at editing. The burden of having too much is something I think about, now more than ever. Quality pieces will always be worn and outlast everything else. With that said, I always have my eye on fresh basics that will stand the test of time. Shopbop has an excellent selection of everyday pieces … here are my picks.

Getaway: Packing for Santa Barbara

A midweek getaway by the ocean and just a two hour drive, is all I need. Santa Barbara is one of our favorite places to be. We love to daydream about moving there one day, but for now, getting to visit and staycation is a treat. I’m packing my bag with summer essentials. We plan to sit pool and beach side all day long.

A Dress for every Occasion

A rotation of great dresses for the seasons ahead is a must. I have my tried-and-true pieces that I grab year after year. But, as I do a little closet Spring clean, I’m eyeing dresses that would be great to have on hand for any occasion. A good dress means everything, especially when you can’t wait to wear it again!

All Things Denim

Denim for days … when you’re seeing denim everywhere. First, take a step back and ask yourself what it is you are missing. An updated jean style? A new denim shirt but with details? A statement shoe? A tailored denim jacket? A special “just because” dress? I saved pieces that will add some newness to your denim.

Mixing Up Your Whites for Fall

Is anyone else pulling out all of their whites and trying to wear them ASAP? While I fully admit to doing this, I am also pulling items I can continue to wear into Fall and beyond. White easily transitions into every season, especially if you layer in various shades of whites, creams and fabrics with texture. I love mixing up whites as I transition into Fall style!

Dresses and Getting Dressed Up

via @misa

With dresses, I lean towards classic more fitted styles, but this past year I have been loving flowy and airy silhouettes. I am drawn to feminine, sometimes frilly looks, but I love a good neutral color, and most certainly won’t pass up a bold color or pattern. So, a bit of everything, always depending on the occasion, of course. Most importantly, it is not just the quality and fit of a dress, but a dress that I am excited to wear, again and again.
