It’s that time of year when we are looking at all the fall fashions on store shelves and wanting to rock all the new trends, yet, when we look outside, it is still over eighty degrees! Ugh! When this time of year rolls around, I always try to incorporate lightweight fall pieces into a summer outfit in order to reflect the new fall trends, yet remain comfortable in the heat.

This breezy blouse is great for hot days since it is loose fitting. The blush color is also a hot summer color, yet plays well with fall’s berry hues. It will look fabulous in the fall season paired with burgundy booties or a burgundy handbag. Love!

One thing I cannot get enough of right now is my “Still Surprise You” choker by Ettika. It can be worn as a choker, which is fun to layer with longer, thin necklaces, or as a bracelet. On this day, I was in the mood to wear it as a bracelet. I love how it looks on the wrist!

I hope you are enjoying the last few weeks of summer, and all the new fall trends hitting store shelves! Thanks for stopping by 🙂

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,

Pictured: Hat: Eugenia Kim / Sunglasses: Chanel / Earrings: Kendra Scott / Lipstick: c/o Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa / Dress: Caslon (on major sale!) (wearing petite, also in reg sizes) / Cuff: Kendra Scott / Nail Polish: Chanel Canotier / Handbag: Proenza Schouler / Shoes: Saint Laurent

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,

XOXO
