Mad for Plaid

I typically don't like bold solid colors like mustard yellow, plum, or dark navy, but when it's put together in this dress, it works beautifully. This outfit makes me feel nice and woods-y (if that's a word). It's breezy enough for the end of summer, but the colors translate well into Autumn. I literally cannot wait for Autumn – I'm tired of the hot, sweaty weather and am so very ready for layers, sweaters, jackets, and deep, rich colors.

Lunching at Umami in a mint green Zara number and mixed metal accessories. Mint green has and always will be my favorite color. It looks lovely on everything, from clothing to nails. Still absolutely in love with my Madewell flatforms, which go with anything and everything.
Tried out the Umami burger (a definite must for all Umami virgins) and the Truffle burger (a scrumptious mix of beef patty, truffle oil, and cheese with truffles shaved into it), and of course the fries and onion rings that sent us over the edge of fullness.
Heading out to Vegas for a relaxing weekend of food and fun (aka shopping). Currently on the hunt for MAC's Ravishing cream sheen lipstick. Trying to decide if it's worth the $15, but with it being such a perfect peach color, the answer will probably end up being yes.

Madewell autograph tee, two-tone flatstack platforms, and leave necklace; GAP maroon corduroy skinnies
Spicing up my favorite fall maroon cords by cuffing them at the ankle and pairing them with my new favorite Madewell flatstack platforms and white autograph tee. I'm a little more than obsessed with my new shoes... They're THE purchase of 2012. They're perfect with anything and everything. I can't really ask for anything better than that. A basic white tee and great-fitting cords are essentials in any wardrobe and work great for school, shopping, or running errands.

Great Lengths

Weekend brunch at The Crema Cafe in Seal Beach. I'm out rocking my new favorite dress, the Madewell hammock dress. It has the most flattering, perfect fit and allows me to just grab this one piece and my whole outfit is made. Alongside the dress, are my Dolce Vita jamison ankle boots. I adore them. They literally go with every single thing that comes to my mind. It's just the right height and come in a variety of colors. Best part is, Solestruck and Free People have them on sale at the moment. This is kind of my idea of perfect summer outfit.
Oh and did I mention that the french toast and Seal Beach scramble at the Crema Cafe is utterly delicious? Because it is.
