When I first saw this skirt by Kate Spade, I instantly fell in love with it. Not only does it have a fabulous print featuring one of my favorite blue hues, it is lightweight and comfortable; perfect for summer!

The past couple of weeks, temperatures here in the San Francisco Bay Area have been hovering in the high 80’s and low 90’s. This has caused me to to choose an outfit each day which is not only appropriate per occasion, but comfortable in the heat. This skirt has worked perfectly for both meetings and church. Love that! I paired it with a comfortable, and lightweight, basic tee shirt. This has kept me cool in the 90 degree heat, while giving the outfit a summery and carefree look. Double love that!

One of my favorite summer into fall trends is the block heel. I love stacked, and thick high heels because they are easy to walk in. When the heel is thick, I don’t have to worry about teetering and falling, or possibly chasing one of more of kids. I can run in thick heels if I have to! These black suede high heels by Aquazurra are perfect for now, and the fall 2015 season. They fit into the thick heel trend, they are comfortable, and they are suede; a big fall fabrication trend. I know I will be wearing these Aquazurra shoes quite often throughout the remainder of summer and well into the fall season. They not only look amazing with skirts, these shoes are fabulous with flare jeans too! These Aquazurra shoes are great way to wear a fall trend before the start of the fall season. I love being slightly ahead 😉

All blue for spring

If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you may already know that blue is my favorite color. This is a huge reason why I am so excited for the spring 2015 season! Designers and brands are showing multiple shades of blue; shown together and separate. Love that!

If you took a look at my closet, you would see a lot of blue and black with touches of purple and green thrown in for variety. These are the colors I am drawn towards no matter what the seasonal color wheel dictates. This dress is the perfect cobalt blue and I love how it looks with my slightly darker cobalt heels. This will definitely be a go-to look for me this spring and summer!

Which color or colors do you find yourself drawn to season after season? Are there any colors this spring 2015 season you find yourself drawn to?

Spring 2015 wish list

spring 2015 wish list

Spring 2015 is on the horizon which means this is the perfect time to shop for the upcoming warm weather season! As styles shift towards a 1970’s vintage vibe, I find myself drawn towards accessories and make-up; perhaps because this is quickest way to update one’s wardrobe!

Since I already own flares and trouser jeans, I feel like my casual wardrobe can transition into the new season. What I really need are shoes, a handbag or two, and rose hued make-up! (Beauty spoiler: Rose scents and hues are hot for the spring season!) I also want to find a few knee length a-line skirts with a true 1970’s vintage look. I may also look for one of DVF’s famous wrap dresses to add to my wardrobe. After all, what screams 1970’s more than DVF’s iconic wrap dress!

Although the accessories on my wish list are not all a nod towards the 1970’s, they are on trend for the season and would work with my current wardrobe.

Also on my radar. Have you heard of Charlotte Tilsbury Beach Sticks, pictured above? They sound amazing. Charlotte Tilsbury’s Beach Sticks can be used on both your lips and cheeks. They offer a dewy, beach look. Definitely on my wish list! You can see a demonstration video here.

What is on your radar and wish list for the spring 2015 season?
