OK, so my daughter took these photos the other day after lunch, and she kept telling me how pretty my bag was! The first thing she said when she saw it was “it’s a mermaid bag!” Yup! She thinks the color and sheen look like the ocean, and the stamped croc looks like seashells. She asked if she could have the bag, and when I said no, she said she was going to buy herself one. haha, so cute!

She was also smitten with my tee. You can’t tell in the photos, but it has sparkles! This tee is such a fun way to be casual and comfy this spring season. I plan on wearing this tee all the time!

When it comes to wearing denim on denim for spring 2018, I love to mix contrasting denim hues. Denim this season is embellished, colorful, and being shown in acid wash; raise your hand if you used to wear acid wash jackets and jeans back in the day! My hand is so far up, I hit the light fixture!

I don’t always go for denim on denim, but when it is done in contrasting washes, or colors, I love how it looks. Plus, denim is so comfortable without looking sloppy; like worn-in sweatpants. Love it!

Denim on denim isn’t exactly a trend anymore. It seems to be something which has been around for over five years now, and doesn’t show any sign of going away. What do you think of denim on denim? Is this a look you like to wear?

wearing: blue tassel earrings (avl in several colors!) / Chanel summer lipstick / tee c/o Oh Concept (use discount code CATHY-also comes in pink!!) / multi-color tassel bracelet stack (on major sale!) / Chanel summer nail polish / white watch c/o Daniel Wellington (use code BAYAREA15 to save 15%) (also love this black version) / Givenchy handbag (back on the radar for fall 2017!) / wide leg jeans (on major sale!!) / black wedge espadrilles (under $100!!)

How cute is this cold shoulder, striped tee by Oh Concept! I am in love with it! This lightweight tee is made from the softest cotton, and looks so cute with shorts, jeans, and midi skirts. I find myself reaching for it often. Oh Concept makes the best casual-wear; they have great styles which can be worn daily. Love that!

This outfit was super comfortable the other day when I wore it to meet up with my friend Dawn from Fashion Should Be Fun. We met up at Santana Row for a yummy lunch at Straits, and chatted the day away! This outfit was perfect for a day on the Row.

This fall, we are seeing A LOT less distressed denim, and more clean denim. As we move towards the end of summer shopping, and start to organize for fall, it is important to only buy things which will easily transition from summer into fall. These jeans do the trick!

Another fall trend to watch is the continuation of ties, cold shoulders, and asymmetrical lines. I love this Oh Concept tee because it hits all the bullet points for both the current summer trends, and the incoming fall trends. This will be a fabulous tee to wear for the rest of summer, as well as for transitioning into the fall season. The weather here in the Bay Area does not cool down until very late October, so an on trend tee to wear with jeans is an easy, and perfect, way to move into fall without wearing something too heavy for the weather. Love!

You can see the last time I wore an Oh Concept piece here.

Summer is in full swing! To celebrate the freedom of summer vacation, I took my kids out for dim sum during the week at Sino Santana Row. They have such good dim sum! My kids are finally at an age where they are trying more varieties of foods, so it was really fun to just order a bunch of dim sum for the table and see what they would eat. All three of them were really good about tasting everything, and they even found some new foods to love! Yay!

On our way to eat dim sum, my ten-year-old daughter and nine-year-old son took turns snapping pictures of my outfit. They are getting pretty good with the DSLR! My ten-year-old starts sixth grade in the fall, and her elective is going to be photography. I’m so excited she enjoys it. She is really creative, so it is fun to see her explore all avenues of art. She is already a fabulous painter, and she also loves to design clothing. I can’t wait to see how she interprets nature and people through the glass lens.

This outfit was perfect for the moderate summer day when we ate out last week. The blouse is nice and breezy, and the wide leg jeans offer a breezy silhouette too; so I didn’t get hot! Love! I’m looking forward to wearing this blouse often during the summer months. The rainbow pom pom details are so cute, and it will look nice with cut-offs on hot days too.

Are you indulging this summer on slow days?
