Topshop Faux Leather Skinny Pants curated on LTK

Sometimes it’s easier to go to work in casual wear. Even though I work in biotech, the dress code is pretty lax. You can wear whatever you want and you’re free to express yourself! I kept my outfit in an aubergine/plum color scheme… I even found matching block heels! Anyways, I typically have a love-hate relationship with capes. I find that most are restricting however, this bat wing cape is quite the opposite!

Who says you can’t wear white after Labor Day? I recently wore this white dress for a day at the beach. I paired it with my strappy black sandals and my amaranth Lady Dior bag! This is the perfect look for a lunch date and even for work!

I haven’t been out to a pumpkin patch in ages so it was nice to prance around one that still had pumpkins this late in October! For the occasion, I wore my lightweight olive utility jacket over a white base. To add some definition, I belted it with a brown leather statement piece! Since I knew some walking on dirt and gravel would be involved, I wore my embossed Chelsea boots.

Late night run to get some snacks! I wore one of my favorite black bomber jackets over a sweater vest and my white eyelet mini skirt. I kept my accessories minimal with a black leather shoulder bag and my strappy sandals.

I noticed that I’ve been wearing a lot of blue outfits lately. Black used to be my go-to color but I think my blue pieces are starting to take over as my dominant color! I paired this silk striped top with my high waisted sailor shorts and topped it off with a periwinkle coat. I took my new floral Kate Spade bag for a spin and it’s still available online!

Sometimes the men’s selection is better than the women’s! I was immediately drawn to this corduroy collar oversized jacket and soon realized it was a men’s piece. That didn’t prevent me from purchasing this jacket! Whether it’s girly old money vibes or downtown street style, my style changes with my mood and outlook for the day! I paired with jacket with an all black base, my snake scale effect Chelsea boots and LV Twist bag.

Wearing bright colors because it’s starting to get gloomy in San Diego! I paired this green and yellow silk top with my high waisted sailor shorts for a weekend out!

I became sneaker girlie since the pandemic. Although I love the added height heels can add to my petite frame, comfort sometimes trumps that urge. These are one of my favorite summer platform sneakers! They go with practically everything and allow me to be on my feet all day!

A sweater and skirt combination is my go-to during cooler weather - this one happens to be a dress! This navy blue and asymmetrical striped skirt piece is such an easy number to toss on when I’m looking for something comfortable. I paired this look with perforated platform sneakers for a weekend at the farmer’s market. #blueoutfit #casualoutfit

A blue business casual look for the day! Would you believe me if I told you that I bought these polka dot pants 11 years ago?! I’m surprised they still fit! I was into bold and very bright clothing back then! My current style resonates more with this soft spoken look! I paired these hot pants with my ruffled sleeveless top and neutral slingbacks. Of course, I didn’t want to be too serious so I wore my colorblock top handle satchel.

Incorporating more color into my wardrobe even though the first day of Fall is tomorrow! I went to my local farmer’s market today and decided to dress up for the occasion. I wore this asymmetrical shamrock green pleated midi dress with gold platform sandals. I also took my new tiny bag out for a spin! I kept my other accessories minimal with gold butterfly hoop earrings and a panama hat.

A blue and white gingham midi dress works well for a casual day out! I had to run to the market so I tossed on this checkered dress and paired it with my Reed Krakoff top handle satchel. I rarely see anyone wear satchels anymore. Many people resort to crossbody bags since they’re so convenient but there’s something about a top handle bag that’s so much more elegant!

It’s beginning to feel like Fall! It’s pretty chilly along the coast and a light jacket is now required whenever I go out! Anyways, I’m beginning to dress up whenever I go out again! Doesn’t matter if I’m running to Trader Joe’s or going out for lunch! I’m making it my goal to wear my clothes at least once. If I don’t, I’m going to let go of those pieces! For today’s look, I wore a pleated midi skirt with a slightly v neck ribbed backless halter top with a bow!

Crop tops and high waisted shorts work very well with my petite frame. It really elongates my legs to give the illusion of height 😅 I wore this black and white crop top in the past over maxi dresses but I wore it solo here with my pleated shorts. To add some personality, I paired it with my snakeskin double strap heels.

It’s a scorcher this weekend! I hope you’re staying cool and enjoying cold desserts! Even though it was warm, I wanted to get some sun! I wore my sheer sleeveless top with a bralette, my asymmetrical blue and white striped mini skirt, calf hair sandals and a neutral small tote.

#LTKItBag #LTKStyleTip #LTKShoeCrush

This black midi dress is the perfect piece for the summer when I “have nothing to wear!” It has the cutest exposed bow back detail and I was surprised that I didn’t need any alterations for it to fit my height! I paired this solid number with a rattan/straw bucket hat and my rattan bucket bag for a day along the beach.

Pleated midi dresses are perfect for a casual day out! They’re an easy statement piece that doesn’t require any additional accessory!

Summer may be coming to an end very soon but I’m going to make the most of all this beautiful sunny weather while I still can! This ivory waistcoat/vest hasn’t been worn all too much so I wanted to build an outfit around it. I love how it has a front twist tie so I can keep my accessories to a minimum. Since it has a very deep V-neckline, I layered an eyelet bralette underneath. To keep the outfit summery, I wore my pleated chain and rope high waisted shorts with strappy sandals and my lady Dior!

A warm summer day calls for a light dress that flows with the breeze. I’ve been loving orange colored clothing though paler colors go against my recommended seasonal color palette. But sometimes you have to break from the rules, right?

A breezy day calls for a lightweight linen dress! This cute one has bead detailing on the front and back panels. It also has somewhat of an open back to allow for more air flow! I paired it with my bucket bag and beige crisscross wedge sandals.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKShoeCrush #LTKStyleTip

Summer calls for linen pieces! I love this halter two toned linen dress and I’ve worn it numerous times over the years! The colors complement each other so well and it’s such a statement piece on its own!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKxNSale #LTKSaleAlert

I haven’t worn this dress in ages and I’m surprised it still fits! I wore it for a warm day around downtown San Diego. I was surprised with the amount of people wearing jackets and most people I saw were tourists!

Anyways, I’ve driven past Asa Bakery many times and I never really saw a long line. Of course the one time I decide to try it, the line wrapped out and around the store. The top thing on my list was the Naruto croissant but by the time I went up to the counter, it was sold out. Better luck next time, right? I got other pastries and it was definitely tasty!

A casual blue and white outfit for a day of exploring Brussels! I paired my silk sleeveless top with blue polka dot shorts.

#LTKxNSale #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKSaleAlert

My summer uniform when I travel revolves around a top and shorts combination. I went to a conference earlier in the morning and since I was traveling with just a carry-on, I wanted to challenge myself to see how many outfits I could create. I’m wearing the same top I did for the conference but instead of a pencil skirt and pointy heels, I swapped my bottom
for high waisted shorts and platform sneakers.

An all black look for a day alongside the beach! I dress differently when I’m spending the day in the beach city versus when I’m basking under the sun on the sand. For today’s look, I paired my deep v-neck sweater vest over a lace bandeau and high rise pleated shorts. I always make sure to protect my face from the sun so I tossed on my brown and black straw sun hat.

Nights are starting to heat up in San Diego but I still make sure I have a light jacket with me at all times! I paired my lightweight Maje bomber jacket over my leopard shift dress for the evening and spiced it up with a gold tassel necklace!

A floppy hat is my best friend during the summer; especially if I’m going to an island! This is exact one is still available and it works with practically everything!

A yellow bikini gives me instant serotonin! I love this two piece yellow crop top and hipster bikini with pink flowers set. I wore this on my trip to Santorini and it blended in so well with the blue domes. I spent most of my time in the plunge pool and I kept my sunnies and fedora on for most of the day. Probably explains why I had such an odd tan!

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKxNSale #LTKSummerSales

Summer calls for drinks in fun glasses! I love this diamond cut tall beverage glass. I’m the kind of gal that loves intricate designs so this is perfect. Plus, this holds a lot of drink so you don’t have to constantly refill it!

#LTKHome #LTKSummerSales #LTKFindsUnder100

Recently wore this front tie lightweight houndstooth collar dress for a day at the farmers market. It was a great pick since it kept me cool while keeping my arms protected from the scorching sun!

Looking for neutral shoes with a platform? These are the perfect lightweight summer shoes that are on sale! The cross-cross design gives it a more elegant look.

#LTKTravel #LTKShoeCrush #LTKItBag

These quilted neutral slides are the best sandals for your summer outfits! They’re now on sale! I found that they run a little bit so I would select half a size smaller!

#LTKSummerSales #LTKShoeCrush #LTKFindsUnder100

First day of summer in the city! It’s still brisk in the morning though it’s heating up earlier each day. I only wear leggings to exercise but these feel so comfortable I might start wearing them around the house! Featured here is the support bra and high rise 7/8 leggings. They’re both extremely comfortable and feel like a second skin. I like how the top is thick and has a racerback style in the back I got a size small and it fits true to size. For the leggings, there are pockets on either side. I’m wearing a medium that’s loose around the waistline and scrunches a bit at the bottom. I think a small would have fit better.

#LTKSummerSales #LTKSaleAlert #LTKShoeCrush

High waisted pinstripe trousers have a way of elongating your frame! These black pants have a silver sparkle that add a little something extra! I paired this with my black v-neck sweater vest that has gold buttons. I’m not big on mixing metals but I think it works pretty well! As for accessories, I kept it simple with a black box bag and platform heels.

#LTKWorkwear #LTKStyleTip #LTKSummerSales

Adding florals to my outfit rotation. I wore this as a beach coverup in Santorini but I wanted to give this yellow and black dress some time to shine on its own! I love the contrast of the two colors! I kept my accessories minimal with black strappy sandals and my envelope bag!

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKStyleTip

One of my go-to conference looks is a simple black and white ensemble. For today’s look, I wore my satin flare sleeve top with high waisted skinny trousers to elongate my legs. I wanted to add some definition so I styled this outfit with a statement belt. I tend to walk around quite a bit during conferences so I wore kitten suede and leather mules.
