Mocha dress for summer

wearing: statement earrings / chain necklace / mocha dress / summer nail polish / bucket tote / Mary Janes /

Mocha Mousse is the color of 2025, so it’s only natural that I am drawn to this neutral hue. It is so easy to wear and can be styled throughout the year. Mocha really transcends season. Love that!

Speaking of transcending season, and wearing this mocha dress throughout the year, shoes and outerwear help it fit into the season. In the winter, this dress can be paired with knee boots and a coat. During the fall and spring months, this mocha dress can be worn with a light jacket or sweater, as well as a scarf. For the summer, it stands alone. The knit fabric is comfortable, and I am finding I can wear it any weather; at least here in California.

This mocha dress can also be worn casually, or to the office. I love a wardrobe piece I can wear any day of the week, work or fun! Love that!

I also happen to have this dress in black too. It is classic and versatile. Love!

How are you rocking mocha this summer season?

Thanks for stopping by!

Quick trip to Harrisburg

For Memorial Day weekend, we took a quick trip to Harrisburg. As the capitol of Pennsylvania, it has arts and of course, government buildings. It was fun to explore this time, since our last trip was a day trip and we were not able to see very much.

I loved seeing all the historical buildings, and if you ever head over to Harrisburg, make sure you get a tour of the capitol! It was dedicated in 1906 by Roosevelt. The architecture, and interior decor, are absolutely stunning.

Since it was a holiday, we missed out on the museum, but I know I will be back again later this summer, so hopefully I can see it then. If you are in the Harrisburg area, I highly recommend enjoying a meal at the Sturges Speakeasy. They have an amazing menu, the service is friendly and helpful, and the patrons are also friendly and chill. We really loved it! I enjoyed the salmon, and my daughter enjoyed the Noble Experiment which was a sandwich with blackened chicken, pickled red cabbage, and brie (which she loved), all on focaccia. Loved it!

Well, it was a quick trip so that’s it! Thanks for stopping by!

Outfit inspo: effortless early summer

Outfit inspo effortless early summer: lipstick / pink nail polish / pink earrings / black tee / stripe pants / straw tote / fisherman sandals / Chanel Chanel eau splendide /

It’s early summer when the fog rolls in and some days are scorching yet others are mild and cool. This is the perfect time to wear a lightweight pair of effortless pants with a tee. Comfort and dressing for the weather are key.

I love summer weight pants, and these tees are super comfy. I ended up getting this tee is six colors for the summer season. They wear and wash well plus they look super chic. Love that!

These pants will also work on cool beach days with flip flops or low-key espadrilles. They will perfect all summer long. The sandals shown above dress the pants up for the city, lunch, and more. Love them!
