Recently Worn

I wore this darling Reformation jacket and denim to the Marché Collective in Oakland last Saturday. Paired with Jamie Haller loafers, a Dragon Diffusion bag, and Khaite sunglasses.

City girl.

Taking a recess in San Francisco while sitting outside of my favorite bookstore in Jackson Square William Stout Architectural Books. Reaching to reapply my YSE Beauty lip mask (magic) and wearing new DÔEN Chapter two, the Cordelie Top.

In the Dressing Room

Wearing the Adelie Dress from DÔEN by the fire. Enjoyed a glass of champagne with my mom before heading out to dinner.

Holiday Soirées & Setting the Table

Any excuse to dress up and make someone feel extra special at the table.

DÔEN Raquella dress, J. Crew coat, Chanel No. 5, bag, heels, darling plate, candle sticks, YSE Beauty lip mask, signet ring, & ornament. Background image taken from Pinterest.

I’m feeling inspired by this wrapping found on Pinterest, envelope presentation, sweet cake, and last year’s bows on the pendants in my living room at the CLB Chateau. I think I’ll go for round two there.

California Casual

Filing my family under this category when it comes to Thanksgiving dressing. My brother and I actually asked our mom if we could have fish tacos for Thanksgiving this year lol. My mom’s specialty in our house. My dad doesn’t eat meat and frankly none of us like turkey, but nonetheless we are sticking to tradition. When it comes to outfits, I tend to lean casual but then there is also always the option of having a full look only to step outside to my living room. We’ll see.

White tee, THE GREAT bandana, Everlane denim, cropped trench, J. Crew barn jacket, ballerinas, silk skirt, Dorsey, Dragon Diffusion bag, hair clip, hand lotion, & SAIE glossybounce.
