poncho party

this past week has felt more like fall than it has summer, i thought this outfit was so perfect for this week, so i decided to recreate it with a boyfriend sweater instead of a poncho (because i don't own a poncho, but would like to add one to my wardrobe).  i want to find a wool poncho, i think it's such stable piece for fall, and i think i would really get some wear out of it during the fall (or summer in san francisco, haha).

jewels and jars

july has been filled with birthdays, weddings, mini-vacations, and little time to relax.  i feel like i have been on the go all summer, and this is the first weekend i have to myself. which will be spent cleaning out my closet, and organizing my jewelry, which has gotten out of control. i'm stopping by my favorite thrift store and anthropologie to pick up a couple jars and bowls to store more jewelry. plus, i have to sneak in a family dinner at our favorite restaurant in larkspur, a pilates class on saturday, and run on sunday. 

i need this, instead of a mirror. 

boots

these riding boots couldn't be any more perfect. 

jewels

there are very few things i love more than jewelry. although i'm partial to gold, i do like mixing in a little silver with gold. i love the idea of storing jewelry in hermes gift boxes, the boxes are the perfect size to store necklaces and bracelets. maybe one day when i splurge and by myself an hermes bracelet, hopefully some day soon. this might need to be my next gift to myself! 

monday morning

T + A

there is nothing more romantic than a wedding. i couldn't be more excited to see two people madly in love getting married this weekend. i love going to weddings and getting wedding ideas, seeing the bride's dress, and in this case spending time with a family that i love. plus it gives me a reason to get all dolled up!

hat or blazer?

i can't decide if i love that hat or the blazer more? 

patterned palettes

i like this busy pattered rug; choosing a fun print in a neutral makes it less harsh so it doesn't takeover a room. i prefer to do prints in neutrals, and what i love even more is mixing prints in the same color palette. although my definition of a neutral includes black and navy. i love a good pattern in navy.
