Ok I think Im going to start posting on here more regularly! Even the in between outfits taken with just my iphone. I have some big life changes coming up and won’t always be able to take photos with my professional camera as easily like I can with my phone! And honestly, those in between outfits that I take with my phone are some of my favorites. Starting with this one! It’s been INSANELY hot in Portland so it’s basically to hot to wear anything. Lol But we have some beautiful days in the future and this kind of outfit is my go to. A summer outfit with cowboy boots is so fun! Before I went to Texas a couple of months ago, I knew I wanted to buy a pair of cowboy boots for the trip and they were the best purchase! I was so surprised when they ended up being the perfect fit too. So throwing on a dress with cowboy boots is my favorite summer look right now! Here’s another outfit I wore with them too!

I get so many questions about these boots and so to answer the question…they’re vintage! But there are so many great pairs available on Etsy and on Ebay.

And if you’re looking for some great lightweight pieces for summer, linen is always a good idea! This dress is so comfy and great to throw on and dress up or down, depending on what you have planned for your day. Back beat Co has a bunch of cute linen pieces they just launched too! Definitely worth checking out!

Anyways, it’s a HOT one in Portland…I haven’t left my room the past few hours because its the only room in my apartment that has AC. Stay safe out there!

What I’m Wearing: Dress: back beat co. sold out, Boots: Vintage via Etsy (Shop more boots for summer here!)

I was SO excited to finally stop by the Santa Monica Proper a few weeks ago. It’s been on my list of places to see for awhile now and it was even better than I imagined. Interiors have really been intriguing me more than ever lately so this places was literally an inspiration playground. It was also the perfect backdrop for some of my favorite spring looks! For the longest time, I wasn’t feeling inspired at all when it came to outfits. I’m still not fully there but this is one that I was really excited to wear.

I’ve been thrifting since I was in high school and I still love to pair thrift finds with my more modern pieces. These pants were something I found a few months ago. I’ve been seeing so many pairs of flares and casual pants so I was SO happy when I found these while thrifting. They’re another perfect item to wear casually with sneakers or more dress up like I did here with heels and a nice top. Plus they’re so comfortable so it makes dressing them up something to look forward to rather than dreading being uncomfortable.

What I’m wearing: Top: Toit Volant , Pants: Vintage (shop more casual pants here!), Sandals: St. Agni

It’s that time again…spring! Which means the obvious…florals are back 😉 A good floral dress is always a staple for me in Spring and into Summer as you can see in previous posts here and here! I remember when I first saw these pieces from Ciao Lucia, I thought the colors and pattern was incredible! It’s such a fun pop of color against all of the neutrals that are in my closet.

I recently went on a road trip to Texas with my family. When I found out we were going, I knew I had to get myself a vintage pair of cowboy boots. And I found the perfect pair on Etsy! I love the light green stitching detail on these and I think they’re going to be so great to pair with all of my dresses during the warmer months. They’re ideal for just throwing on with a floral dress or skirt!

I’ve been visiting my dad for a couple of weeks down in Arizona and it’s making me look forward to summer even more. I needed to get out of the rainy and gloomy weather and get some sun for a bit. It’s been nice breaking out the shorts and dresses again but it’s also making me realize I need to start preparing my closet for spring and summer again, I’ve basically just been living in my puffer coat back in Portland!

Spring is finally here!!! It’s been a long winter. But spring is finally here and that means it’s also that weird time where it’s not quite cold enough to bundle up but still too chilly for just jeans and tees. This is when I like to wear lighter coats and jackets and still pair my boots with the looks.

Neutrals are always my go to for every season but I love that spring usually means more lighter colors and matching whites and creams together again. This coat was a piece I got a couple of years and still love styling it through the seasons. Just a quick outfit post, I’m currently visiting family (I haven’t seen them in a year!!) and we’re going on a little road trip 🙂 can’t wait to share more!

What I’m Wearing: Coat: Oak & Fort, Tank: Orseund Iris, Jeans: Vintage Jeans, Purse: Last Frame, Boots: Ganni
