Florals and Lace

It is a new week filled with sun and summer beauty! I am anxious to actually get my summer started LOL but until then I will just dress like I am on vacation and enjoying the summer sun. These photos were taken in a beautiful town located about an hour away from Los Angeles, Claremont, CA. It is known as the city of trees and PhDs, and this area specifically is known as "The Village." The Village is filled with college students, trendy restaurants, and vintage stores. Some of my favorite shops are located here: Speckled Hens, The Grove Vintage, and Glitter. If you are anywhere near this area, you definitely need to check out these shops and the whole village in general!

On to my ensemble, I love this combination of floral print and lace. This lace cropped top is from H&M and the shorts are from Forever 21. Forever 21 has a great selection of shorts and cropped tops that I need to get my hands on for this season! I decided to wear my new adorable platform heels to give this a chic summer look. I was just reading a great blog post/slideshow by Refinery29 discussing summer essentials, and one of them was the "day to night" heel. I do believe that these heels are just that. This clutch is a beautiful color that is not so much bright, but a perfect compliment to the bright summer prints. You can find this clutch here at Speckled Hens in the village or online at Trend Essentials in many different colors.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Happy Friday Fashionistas!!

It has been a sunny week over here in so-cal and I had to take advantage of it. Am I crazy for wearing this long sleeved button up on a hot day with the sun beating down on me? Possibly, but I am such a fan of layers and have been inspired by all of the fashion bloggers I follow lately and their layers of goodness. I love the color of this lovely, thin button up, and it paired well with the coral shorts. Of course, for the love of tribal prints, I had to throw in a fun pattern somewhere in this outfit. Enter my black and white tribal design tank.

To finish the outfit off, I decided to wear my suede black booties. As I said in my Summer Festival Post, the booties go so well with shorts, dresses, and skirts. I added in my feather clips to give that "indie zest" that I was looking for. I hope everyone is inspired for the weekend! Make it a good one!
