THE EFFORTLESS SHORT™ MINI curated on LTK

What are your favorite prints? I love wearing houndstooth anything during Fall and Winter however, since it’s still cold here, I’m transitioning this shacket to Spring! I bought this Sandro jacket in Paris last year and it’s gotten so much wear! Don’t you love it when you invest in a new item and actually wear it frequently? Anyways, I paired it with a simple black outfit for a simple look. Almost everything I’m wearing here is still available!

A winter color I wear too often? Black. It’s just so versatile and with random bouts of rain, I can run around the city without worrying too much about my clothes. I have a thermal and leggings as my foundational pieces for this look. I then layered my puffer jacked and pleated midi skirt on top. Since it was raining all evening, I paired this look with a bucket hat and my heeled combat boots!

Early morning food runs in the city calls for comfortable platform sneakers, leggings, and a puffer jacket! I also wore my trusty travel crossbody from Marc Jacobs; it’s the MVP of my domestic and international travels!

We walked from the hotel to Lions & Tigers & Squares Detroit Pizzas in Chelsea. I do a tremendous amount of research about cities I visit to ensure I get the best possible experience. We already have Prince St. Pizza in San Diego so I wanted to try another highly rated pizza joint! This was on many lists of Must-Try’s so we gave it a go!

How do I stay warm in NYC during December? Layering up! I wore a thermal long sleeve under my chunky pom-pom sweater and topped it off with a black puffer jacket. Since I wanted to keep my legs warm, I opted for my favorite high waisted jeans! To keep with the casual theme and since I love walking in the city, I wore my platform sneakers!

I wore my oversized plaid double breasted blazer for a casual day out! It’s a bit too short to wear alone so I layered it on top of my pleated shorts to make it more appropriate. Even though I was spending the day at Seaport Village where cobblestone is everywhere, I wanted some extra height and these pointy nude heels are extremely comfortable.

Mornings are still warm in San Diego so I’m able to walk around in shorts! This look actually revolves around my floral Kate Spade bag. I wanted to give it some more time to shine this year so I created an outfit around it! I wore my blue and yellow tweed jacket over a lace collar top and high waisted sailor shorts.

Ruffled sleeves are the best for colder months! They add a little bit of flare to an outfit and keeps it interesting! I paired this ribbed flare knit dress with my two toned Cafuné bag for a casual day out.

I’m happy that I can still wear all of my light floral pieces in San Diego. I paired this blue butterfly floral midi dress with strappy black sandals and my Cafuné bag.

One of my college uniforms! I actually still own every single item in this picture! A comfortable long cardigan works wonders when you’re in a rush and it paired perfectly over this dress. To complete this street style look, I accessorized with a gray beanie, lace-up Michael Kors combat boots, my Phillip Lim satchel and a tungsten ring as a necklace.

Integrating as many colors as I can into my outfits before it gets too cold! I wore this Ralph Lauren blue ruffled sleeveless top with Leifsdottir swan mini skirt, amaranth Lady Dior bag and navy blue Cole Haan flats.

One of my holy grails whenever I travel is a raincoat. Regardless of the season, it always manages to rain. I’ve found my raincoat very useful for my travels around Europe during the summer and especially when I’m wandering around the US during Fall or Winter. I now have two trusty lightweight raincoats that I alternate between and they work well on top of all my outfits! Here, I wore it on top of my ribbed sweater and high waisted pleated shorts for a chilly day in Chicago.

Winter means that you need a rain coat! This is the perfect one since it has a removable hoodie with lots of pockets. It’s also great for summers in Europe because you never know when it’ll rain!

This is the perfect dress for work and play! I can see myself buttoning this up for a day at my 9 to 5 and then jazzing it up a bit for cocktail events after work! Can you believe this dress is under $40? Layer this up with a coat and it’ll be perfect for cooler weather!

It’s Election Day! I hope you have the opportunity to fulfill your civic duty of voting! I wore this all black look to the polls over the weekend. I buttoned up my cardigan and paired it with my high waisted pleated shorts. I kept my accessories simple with pops of gold to match the buttons on my cardigan.

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!

A classic summer outfit combination: striped sweater vest and denim shorts!

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!

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKFallSale #LTKStyleTip

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.
