Wearing: gold statement earrings / Chanel lipstick / white lace dress (under $100!!) / white tank top (under dress for coverage) / white tennis shorts (under dress for coverage) / blue and gold bead bracelet stack / gold and turquoise cuff / white watch / Chanel fall nail polish / Chloe bag / espadrilles (old, similar pair under $100 here)

I left my He(art) in San Francisco. Ah, this conjures up visions of Tony Bennett belting out our city’s unofficial theme song. It also conjures up a modern-day vision of LikeToKnow.it’s heart in a circle logo; which you might be familiar with from Instagram.

The summer of 2017 has been the summer of likes; Instagram likes that is. The LikeToKnow.it team has been traveling around the country installing pop-up wall’s in all of our major cities. These pop-up walls last about one month, and offer a colorful background for taking photos worthy of all the likes on Instagram. Like it? Ha! I love it!

In case you are reading this and wondering what in the world LikeToKnow.it is, it is an app where you can shop your favorite outfits, products, beauty products, home, products etc. from LikeToKnow.it enabled photos found on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. If you screenshot a photo bearing the LikeToKnow.it logo in the bottom right-hand corner, the photo and product details will appear in your LikeToKnow.it app with shoppable links. You can learn more about it from this post I wrote in April.

The San Francisco wall was officially launched on August 16, 2017. To celebrate, Dawn from Fashion Should Be Fun and I went up to the city for meetings, lunch, and of course, photos in front of the wall! The San Francisco He(art) wall features so many pretty colors; but I have to admit I am in love with the portion bearing blue and green tones. Isn’t it fabulous!

You too can take your Instagram worthy photo in front of the wall; but hurry! It will only be there until September 16, 2017. The wall is located on the Palmer’s SF building on the  corner of Fillmore and Clay. Since it is in the Fillmore shopping district, you can combine your wall visit with lunch or brunch; and some serious shopping! Love! Or should I say; Like!

So I have rambled on about this fabulous wall, but can we change gears for a minute and chat about this dress?! In anticipation of the wall, I purchased this white dress so that I would not clash with the color palette; which was still a secret when I was shopping for a wall-worthy ensemble!

I was thrilled to find this dress. It is under $100 and turned out to be extremely comfortable. What threw me for a loop was when a woman walking on Fillmore street stopped to tell me how much she liked my dress! This does not happen often, so when it does, I know I need to re-wear the dress as often as possible!

If you are looking for a little white dress, which can be a fabulous go-to piece in your closet, this one is under $100; so you can’t go wrong! Plus, my Mom accused me of spending $400+ on it, so it looks like it cost much more then it did. I am not sure she believed me when I told her the price! haha

The dress is a little sheer, so I wore white tennis shorts and a white tank top underneath to make sure everything was covered. Worked like a charm!

Let me know if you stop at the wall in San Francisco! If you have snapped photos in front of one of the other LikeToKnow.it walls around the country this summer, I would love to see the pictures! Drop your link below.

Thanks for stopping by!

Stripes for fall 2017

stripes fall 2017 stripes fall 2017 fall 2017 it bags stripes fall 2017 stripes fall 2017 stripes fall 2017

wearing: gold statement earrings / Chanel lipstick / fall stripe blouse / gold-tone bracelet / black leather watch / pale blue nail polish / fall dark rinse girlfriend jeans / red shoulder bag / fall suede booties (so comfy!!)

Stripes fall 2017 is a hot trend which started on the fall 2017 runways and has hit the streets for the upcoming cool weather season. I absolutely love stripes; especially when they are mixed up and going in all different directions. haha That is how they were shown on the runways!!

This stripes blouse for fall 2017 has turned into a great late summer, early fall piece. The fabric is lightweight, so it is easy to wear when the temperatures are in the 70’s. It is supposed to be a one shoulder top, but it appears to have slide up my shoulder when we took these pictures. It still looks cute! I just love this blouse!

I wore this outfit to meet up with my friend Laura from Have-Need-Want at Santana Row on Wednesday evening. It was fun for us both to take a little mommy break and get some adult time to ourselves! Big thanks to our hubbies who fed our kids dinner while we ate out!!

We met at 5pm in order to attend Kendra Scott’s fall collection kick-off party. Oh my! This collection is to-die-for! Watch for an upcoming post all about the fall collection. I really love it!

After the party, Laura and I ate a yummy dinner at Left Bank, and then window shopped around the Row. We did end up splurging a little bit at Sugarfina. So much for trying to lose ten pounds! Haha, those pounds are never going to come off me!

Stay tuned! Next week I will post my recap of the Kendra Scott fall kick-off party and show you all of my favorites from her beautiful new fall collection!

Fall peplum top to wear now

wearing: blush and gold dangle earrings / Chanel lipstick / mustard fall peplum top / pale blue nail polish / Fendi satchel / black leather and rose gold watch / dark rinse girlfriend jeans / Gucci slides (also love this pair under $100)

Our weather finally dropped back into the high seventies, so I can finally wear my summer into fall wardrobe without overheating! Yay! This mustard, fall peplum top has been hanging in my closet waiting to be worn during the late summer/early fall transition season. I’m so happy I can wear it now. It’s perfect for the current weather!

I love the fall, mustard color of this peplum top, along with the funky ruffle sleeves. The fabric is lightweight, making it appear to be a fall peplum top yet offering the comfort of a summer blouse. Love that!

These slides are super comfy too; and the whole outfit was great to slip on after my workout, and to wear throughout the day. I took my kids out to lunch at Sino Santana Row, and then I dragged them with me while I ran errands. Then, I worked for a few hours, and after I worked, I brought my girls to their archery practice. This outfit was perfect for my busy day. Love that!

Comfortable fall outfits are key now that we are ten days away from school starting! Eeek! I have two kids going back to school, and one I will be homeschooling; so life is busy right now as I get everyone ready. How is August starting out for you? Are you super busy too?

Thanks for stopping by!
