I have to admit that I have had this sheer, pleated hi-low top for almost a year and I never wore it. Although it has a ton of interest, it somehow never worked with the skinny jean outfits I planned. Finally it felt right with a simple miniskirt- the voluminous silhouette pairs back well to a little skin!
Skirt: Zara, old. Top: H&M, clearly old. Shoes: H&M ($35!). Bag: J.Crew (other colors here). Jewelry: Soho street vendor, H&M, Stefanie Marie Designs
I know summer is typically about cool whites and breezy brights, but right now I’m loving the hot and striking combo of red, gold and animal prints. There’s something about red and gold against tanned skin that heats up those warm summer nights. Now if I could just get that tan!

Alright, alright, don’t hate me – it’s not often someone owns two pieces of dalmation print clothing, so I couldn’t resist being matchy matchy with them. I think the unexpected mixing of prints and textures takes it to a more modern place, and the pop of red is always a classic cherry on top!

A military inspired leather jacket is my favorite way to toughen up a wispy animal print dress. I just bought this dress and am so excited to rock it for all my summer outings; it’s so completely floaty and comfortable, but the knife pleating adds a touch of structure and sophistication. It’s like it was made to twist, twirl and dance in!

I’m getting dizzy thinking about how many times the weather has changed in San Francisco over the past few weeks. Apparently we are back to freezing winter, while the east coast is having an abnormal heat wave. Since I’ve been on an animal print kick, here is a look combining 4 different animal elements (fur, leather, and 2 prints).
Pants: H&M. Shirts: Zara and H&M. Shoes: AllSaints. Vest: Zara. Bag: DIY. Sunglasses: Soho street vendor.
These pants were a crazzzyyy good find. A standout print, as comfortable as sweatpants, and inexpensive to boot. I love them paired with a silky coral button down and a tailored jacket, but the lightweight fabric will make these perfect all through summer.
Pants: Forever21. Top: H&M (old). Jacket: Zara. Bag: Badgley Mischka. Shoes: Zara. Jewelry: JoeFresh, H&M, Banana Republic, H&M, souvenir from India.
