Bali Hai

Last Saturday evening, I had the pleasure of spending some much-needed girl time with my best friend. She lives in San Diego, so I'm always excited to visit and be a tourist in her city while she introduces me to fabulous bars, eateries, and shops. We went to this gorgeous resturant on Shelter Island called Bali Hai.  As close to paradise as I'll come until Hawaii next year! The view is incredible. We sat upstairs overlooking the water, the downtown skyline glimmering in the background.

 Outfit for the night: Colorblocking

Blouse - Bellatrix (love this!), Skirt - J. Crew (in red), Flats - Steve Madden (similar),

 I decided to use my salmon colored bow blouse and my navy city mini to try colorblocking. After wearing high heels the night before, I gave my feet a break with some comfy leopard flats. I could live in these. I think I've had them for about five or six years, and I'm shocked at how well they've held up!

J. Crew chain, Michael Kors rose gold stretch bracelet, GlamRocks Designs rings

 Nails - Milani Bare to Wear, OPI Designer De Better as an accent

 If you're ever in San Diego, definitely make Bali Hai a must-see (I sound like a travel guide!) 

I just know you won't be disappointed.

Mix & Match

Jacket - Halogen, Cami - J Crew, Skirt - Francesca's, Pumps - Similar, Bag - Rebecca Minkoff, Earrings - richrocksnyc, Bracelet - TJ Maxx

I found this chevron printed jacket at Nordstrom a few weeks ago, right when we were in the midst of a heat wave. The print caught my eye, but the leather trim and knited fabric is what sent me over the edge. I had to have it! Not only is the texture cozy, but the trimming and pockets make it so versatile. I love casual pieces with a twist! I decided to pair it with my bright lace skirt for even more texture, and the gunmetal accessories tied everything together. Bring on the cooler weather, mother nature.

October Obsessions

Lady-like chic

Incorporating Fall's "IT" color into my wardrobe. I would love this AW bag, but I'm thinking a simple blouse or sweater will do the trick.

Could Olivia Palermo be any more perfect?

It started with this necklace...

Now I'm anticipating this bracelet by one of my favorite Etsy shops, Oia Jules

Also love these Etsy sellers: 1&2&3

This combination doesn't want to leave my wrist

Wedding Planning, but going step by step instead of haphazardly. I bought a wedding planner/binder complete with blank pages to take notes and slots to keep business cards etc. It instructs you on what to do each month until the big day. It's a life saver.

Cooler weather, pretty colors, pumpkin spice, candles...Enjoying the season!
