Fourth of July Weekend (long time ago, I know), was an amazing exercise in lazing about and kicking back.  Our roommates were out of town and we spent half the weekend wandering around downtown San Jose and looking for fun places to sit, relax and/or eat.

These pictures were taken in between two tall buildings, where some smart person had the foresight to put marble seating areas under a small mass of trees.  With it being so hot, lying on the marble benches was just so refreshing, we laid there for an hour and a half!

I also just want to say that Keds are the bomb diggity.  I haven't worn them in years, but when I found these on sale at Madewell a month or so ago, I couldn't resist!  They're just so comfy and amazingly cute.

OOTD: Ankle Jeans for Shorties

Top: StyleMint Bleeker (buy here)
Bottoms: AG Stevie Crops
Shoes: Seychelles Get Outta Town Flats
Scarf: Anthropologie

 

I totally dig the ankle jean trend.  I mean, how sexy cool is seeing a little bit of ankle between the hem of skinny jeans and the top of a high heeled shoe?  Too bad my height makes it so that your typical ankle jeans are NORMAL jeans for me.  Which is great.  But not when I want to be sexy cool.

Until I found skinny crops.  And now I can join the club of the of sexy cool ladies everywhere!  Now, who's going to tell me the secret password?

OOTD: Shades of Green

Here's a quick outfit post that centers around green and floral patterns.  I picked up this Mina Dress from Anthro after stalking it for months in hopes that it would go for 75% off.  And so it did and I scooped it up!  It has neat little cut outs in the back that I plan to take full advantage of during hot summer days when ventilation is required.  But we'll save that for another, summery outfit.

OOTD: Loafing

This is one of those outfits I throw on after a long night that involves stretchy pants, fashion-y flats and dry shampoo'ed hair.  I like to think dry shampoo gives me sexy bedhead, but it's entirely possible that I look like a hot mess.  I'll just say that the look is very "in".  Having a personal style blog gives me the legitimacy to say that right?  ...Right.

Top: Thrifted J Crew
Bottoms: Gap
Shoes: Old Navy
Scarf: J Crew Silk Driving Scarf

 

I picked up these amazing loafers on sale at Old Navy.  They were green (my favorite), snakeskin (another highly desirable fake! pattern) and a price that just couldn't be beat.  So what if they were half a size too big?  They're flats anyway, so it's not like it's a walking hazard.   

 Is anyone else confused that June is half over?  Where has the time gone?

OOTD: Mixed Bag

This outfit makes me feel like I took all the fall colors, put them in a bag, shook the bag up and poured it on my clothes.   I think I should use that bag more often!

Top: Anthropologie
Cardigan: J Crew Katelyn Ruffle Cardigan
Skirt: J Crew Cord Pencil Skirt
Shoes: Seychelles
Scarf: Macy's via gift

 

I know I've been absent lately, but I'm trying this new thing where I just post outfit pictures and type as little or as much as I feel like.  No shopping links, no adds, no extras.  Just pure, outfitty goodness.  That way, I don't feel quite as overwhelmed by the time spent per post as in the beginning of the year. 

I'll let you know how it turns out.  Thanks for stopping by!  

OOTD: Business Time

No..not THAT kind of Business Time.  Though I have the song in my head now.  This is a bit of an off-key take on office wear, combining two pieces with pinstripes and a heavily patterned scarf.  I think the sunglasses provide a little pizzazz.

OOTD: Wine Country Weekend

As I shared a few weeks ago, my BF and I went up to Sonoma for an anniversary-celebrating wine country weekend.  Just wanted to share a few shots of my outfit and the Francis Ford Coppola Winery.  Even though it's ALLLLL the way in the northern part of the Sonoma wine area in a place called Geyserville, this was such a neat place.  The wine was good (not the most amazing, but certainly holds its own in the area) and the facility is just full of cool stuff to look at from movies, history AND it has a pool!  Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

 

Outfit Details
Dress: Anthropologie Yonina Mini Dress
Cardigan: Thrifted Anthropologie Rushing Ruffles Cardigan
Shoes: J Crew Mona Leather Pumps
Sunglasses: Stunners

 

It was our anniversary, so I dressed it up a bit :).  Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the pool, but take my word for it, it was cool.  Hope you enjoyed the pics!
