Purchase of the Month: Chelsea Boots

Certainly we are all aware of one of last fall's biggest trends, the Chelsea Boots. Sold at popular stores like Zara, Topshop, and Nordstrom, these boots are famous to the fashion world and are a hit during the fall/winter season. As we roll into the colder months, everyone is pulling out their favorite pair of boots. Because of the relatively "warm" winters that we have here in Southern California, I can get away with wearing these during the season and not get too cold.

I did some fall shopping yesterday and after searching through many many shoe stores, I finally found the perfect boots at... Marshall's? There were only $60 and by the designer Franco Sarto! I was amazed to have found these. Once this bipolar weather stops and the cold sets in, I'll be wearing them just about every day!

OOTD: Lonely Mondays

Today's OOTD: 

    I wore a sheer black tank that has a see-through lace cross on the front. Because this shirt is sheer, I slid on a navy blue bandeau underneath to cover up. I am also wearing a pair of simple grey high-waisted shorts. My shorts are a size too big--an easy fix. Just had to grab a belt! The one I chose to wear is a skinny black patent belt. For shoes, I am wearing my favorite Jeffrey Campbell's. They are the HIYA sneaker in Tiger Print.

I stayed very comfortable in this outfit today. The weather outside was sunny and beautiful--typical southern California. Lately, it hasn't been as hot as everyone expects during mid-June... still perfect shorts weather though. No complaints.

 Shorts: Nordstrom Rack

Belt: my mother's closet

Shoes: Karmaloop.com 

     I bought this shirt a while ago, so I can't quite remember how much it cost... probably around $14? Very cheap. I picked up the shorts recently at Nordstrom Rack for $23--a complete steal. My belt, as listed above, did indeed come from my mother's closet. Shout out to her for letting me borrow her stuff! Finally, my lovely platform sneakers... I purchased them for $78+shipping from Karmaloop.com. I've had them for a little over 3 months.

Summer Trend: Coral

One trend I've been seeing a lot of (particularly for swimsuits) is the color Coral. Although it goes best with people who have warm undertones in their skin, almost anyone can rock it. Coral pieces can be paired with other neutral solids or pieces with small patterns/detailing.
