The Prettiest Pink 5.23.2016

Tank: ASOS | Jeans: AG (run a bit big due to stretch)

Bag: Zara (updated version here) | Heels: ASOS (similar here & here)

Sunnies: Karen Walker ($16 look-a-like here) | Lips: Sephora Cream Lip Stain #13

How was your weekend? Anyone else have a serious case of the Monday blues this week? My weekend seemed to evaporate in the blink of an eye. Friday night I helped throw a bridal shower, Saturday I logged about 12 hours for dance recitals, and yesterday I did a ton of much-needed cleaning around the house. Needless to say, I'm feeling accomplished but pretty sleepy this morning.

As soon as I found this tank online I knew I had to have it. The color is absolutely perfect! I also love the higher neckline and split back...details that make it a little more interesting than your average summer tank top. I think the split back will be so cute over high-rise cutoffs this summer! Also, please forgive my dirty, messy bun. After a long day of cleaning, doing my hair for photos was about the last thing I wanted to do ;)

Simple 2.08.2016

Top: c/o Shein (only $15!) | Leggings: Zella

Boots: Steve Madden | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

Sunglasses: Karen Walker

I hope you had a great weekend! Mine was exhausting (with many good things though), so this Monday is kicking my butt so far! The highlight was definitely seeing Wicked yesterday with my mom and sister... It was absolutely incredible!

As for my outfit... I wear long sweaters/tops with leggings as much as I can because it's a comfy and flattering combo. I like to try to add at least one statement accessory though, which in this case is my over-the-knee boots! I get compliments on them every time I wear them, and I highly recommend them if the Stuart Weitzman boots are out of your price range!

Classic Camel 2.01.2016

Sweater: H&M (similar) | Flares: ASOS (similar here & here)

Scarf: F21 (similar here & here) | Hat: ASOS

Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Booties: Seychelles

Sunnies: Karen Walker | Watch: c/o Amorstil

  I hope you all had a great weekend! Ours was pretty non-stop busy, but the weather was really nice (for the Midwest in January), so that totally got my hopes up that spring is around the corner haha. In the meantime though, I'm still bundling up in my favorite hats, scarves and sweaters. I picked up this classic camel scarf for under $20 last year at Forever 21 and it's definitely become a winter staple for me. I don't own a lot of camel and tan, but my scarf, hat and ankle boots all get a lot of wear because they're such a nice compliment to black, gray and denim tones.

I hope your Monday is off to a smooth start! I definitely have a hot coffee in my future. xx

Sleeveless Turtleneck 10.20.2015

Sweater: c/o Asos (absolutely love! so soft & flattering) | Jeans: H&M

Boots: Steve Madden here & here | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Sunnies: Karen Walker ('deep freeze') 

I got to wear so many new goodies together in this outfit, and it's one of my favorites so far this fall! I've been looking for the perfect sleeveless turtleneck sweater and am so happy with this one, especially for the price (on sale for $27). This was the perfect outfit for the sunny but cool weather this weekend, and I simply threw on a leather jacket once it cooled off in the evening.

I also received 2 of 3 Shopbop sale purchases over the weekend, and as you can see, I had to wear my new Karen Walker sunnies and Marc by Marc Jacobs bag right away! Not surprisingly, the quality of both is supreme and I'm really happy I decided to save up for both pieces. I always want to keep the focus on affordable fashion on here, but at the same time I do value investing in key pieces from time-to-time.

Cutoffs 7.16.2015

 Top: H&M (runs small-wearing size 6) | Shorts: H&M (H&M runs small in general-wearing size 6)

Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: H&M (similar in blush) | Sandals: H&M (also love these)

Belt: H&M | Bracelet: Margaret Elizabeth

First things first... Yes, this is an actual outfit post!! Gosh it's been a long time. I want to thank my wonderful coworker and friend Michele of Happy Camper Life for letting me borrow her camera this week! It's so kind of her and such a blessing until our insurance and the SF PD gets their acts together!

Secondly, I'm fully aware that I'm wearing an obnoxious amount of H&M in this outfit. Totally unplanned. It all just.......worked. I've found so many great pieces there this summer, including these cutoffs - twice! I ordered them right before our trip and was so relieved when they arrived two days before we left and were exactly what I wanted. You all know just how much I agonize over finding shorts and jeans that fit my build! Well, they got stolen before I ever got to wear them, which is honestly pretty funny at this point. SO, I went into an H&M in San Francisco and bought them again! That's how much I love them. Did I mention they're only $20? You really can't beat that for shorts that totally have the vintage Levi's cutoff feel. I wore them so much on our trip (in my defense, they were the only pair of shorts I had) that I even had to wash them halfway through.

Hope you're having a great week so far! Work is a little insane with back-to-school season arriving, but for the most part I like being busy!

PS - don't forget that today is the last day of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale cardholders' early access and that the public sale opens tomorrow! You can see all of my picks here.

Dressed Down Blazer / Dressed Up Denim 6.11.2015

 Blazer: H&M | Tank: J.Crew Factory | Shorts: June & Beyond Boutique (just $32! order over IG or phone w/ Paypal)

Heels: Target (similar here, here) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Sunnies: Karen Walker

Bracelet: Gorjana via Rocksbox (similar | use code 'lovelenorexoxo' for a free month of Rocksbox!)

Earrings: Kendra Scott | Lips: BareMinerals 'Be Free'

  

I'm such a fan of unexpected pairings, like something classic and dressy paired with something more casual and edgy --> like a blazer with distressed shorts. I like to style this sort of juxtaposition as much as possible, so now I just need somewhere to wear this! ;)

Also, totally unrelated, but... I need a volumizing mascara that doesn't flake off! I love the look of the drugstore mascara I use when I put it on, but by the afternoon I have little black flakes under my eyes. Let me know what works for you! I don't mind jumping up to a nicer brand/higher price point.

xo,

The Iris House 5.04.2015

 Dress: Old Navy (35% off + free 2-day shipping today w/ code 'LOVE') | Shoes: Forever 21 (also love all of these espadrilles) | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Clutch: Francesca's (similar here, here, here all 30% off!) | Bracelet: Margaret Elizabeth | Earrings: c/o CherryPick | Lipstick: MAC 'lickable'

I absolutely love when something you've envisioned comes together perfectly in real life. I discovered this dreamy location while shooting photos with my favorite local boutique, June & Beyond, last week, and just had to return for my own photos. I've always found this historic home to be beautiful, but the walkway of blooming irises makes it extra charming. It ended up being the perfect location to shoot this breezy white sundress that I'm absolutely loving. It fits perfectly and is so flattering, and you truly can't beat the price. I love that it can easily be dressed up with a pair of heels for a wedding or summer date night as well.

How was your weekend?? Ours was exhausting but so productive. We picked out everything for our master bath renovation (!!!) and several other home projects on Saturday, and then spent all day yesterday working outside in the yard. The best part though was wrapping up the weekend by grilling on our back deck with our new grill and new patio furniture. It was the perfect way to enjoy the gorgeous weather and reflect on all of the progress we've made on our home and yard. I can't wait to show you before and after photos someday!

xo,

Jacy
