Have you seen Ettika’s wide collection of chokers. If not, you must check them out! I purchased a blue and gold one earlier this year, so when I was given the opportunity to acquire one in black, I jumped at the chance! They are so well made, and versatile! Love!

Ettika’s Still Surprise You choker is made from beautiful onyx beads, and 18K gold plate beads. It is extremely comfortable, and high quality; I cannot believe it is priced at a mere $30! It is such a great deal!

This beautiful necklace can be worn as a choker, or wrapped twice around your wrist as a bracelet. Stay tuned, I have already worn it as a bracelet and will share pictures with you later this week!

I wore this casual outfit, with my favorite new choker, to an early dinner with Laura from Have Need Want. We enjoyed a table full of appetizers, lemonade, and talking about her new bundle of joy arriving this fall! Be sure to check out her blog and follow along with her pregnancy.

Ettika’s Still Surprise You Choker is a great addition to any jewelry wardrobe; it will also make a great gift this upcoming holiday season! It is never too soon to think about these things 😉 You can find this beautiful onyx and gold choker exclusively online here.

Thanks for stopping by,

This striped dress has turned out to be my go-to dress on hot days. I wore this dress in San Diego when we went out to dinner at Su Casa Restaurant in La Jolla. It was seriously one of the yummiest Mexican restaurants we have ever eaten at! Su Casa is family own, and you can tell they take pride in their restaurant. All of the food was delicious, and made from the freshest ingredients. We definitely want to eat there again next time we visit San Diego! You can see pictures from our meal in my San Diego family vacation guide online here.

In addition to wearing this striped dress with wedges, it can be dressed down with flat sandals or espadrilles. It is also cute on the beach with flip flops. I love a dress with versatility! In these photos I am wearing the dress in petite, but it also comes in regular sizes. If you are looking for a great dress you can wear for different occasions, which is soft and comfortable, this is the one! It also happens to be on major sale. You can find it online here. Love that!

Don’t forget! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends in a few days. It is a great way to stock up on basics for fall, at sale prices. You can see my picks online here, or shop the sale directly online here.

Thanks for stopping by,

August is all about transitioning from the warm summer months, into warm fall days. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, fall can be just as warm as July and August; if not warmer! So putting together outfits which keep you cool, plus reflect the upcoming fall trends, can sometimes be a challenge. This is why I love Who What Wear’s current collection. It reflects what is hot for fall, yet is made from cool fabrics, making it perfect to wear now, and well into the autumn season. Love that!

Can we talk about this military green jacket? It is so comfortable! Plus, military green jackets are a hot fall item this season, so this jacket is ideal to wear right now and into the autumn season. The fabric is lightweight, the style is flattering, and it is so easy to wear with so many outfits. I love pairing this jacket with dresses and skirts on hot summer days. I also look forward to pairing it with jeans and pants on fall days. It will look so cute with boots and flares!

I am having so much fun wearing this hat. It is great for blocking the sun, and the brim isn’t too wide, so I can see where I am going. I adore the two tone styling of the hat. It looks so chic!

The Who What Wear capsule collection for Target has so many great options to wear now, and into early fall. I definitely want to add more pieces to my wardrobe right now! You can view all my favorite pieces from the collection below. What are your favorite pieces?
