“Red pumps and the city”

Hi guys! I’ve been sick this past week and I can’t wait to be back to my normal and healthy self. This bug took a toll on me and it is hard to focus and function when your body isn’t cooperating with you. I did a photo shoot with my sister this past weekend while I was sick (bad idea) and boy, did it show on camera! I told you guys that I would share more looks from the shoot, but unfortunately only one made the cut! The rest of them didn’t look up to par because I wasn’t feeling well and you could totally tell in my photos! Even the makeup didn’t disguise it well and I just couldn’t hide it! Yikes! I finally just had to let my body do its thing without me resisting it. I decided to take a few days off to gain all of my energy back and it has made such a difference on my body. Almost 100% better today and thankful for that.

This look was shot on such a beautiful day in San Francisco. It was surprisingly warm out with super clear skies! I really wished that I could’ve taken more advantage of that day because I rarely just go to the city to hang out, but my body just wasn’t into it. Bummer! My sister and I felt that this was the only look that was blog-worthy. We are doing the shoot all over this weekend and I can’t wait! This time, I’m gonna bring it!

I LOVE a basic white tee, but I also love when basics aren’t so basic sometimes! I am loving this white perforated tee from Club Monaco! It is super soft and the cut is so flattering! I threw on a black moto jacket to make this feminine look a bit edgy. It is tough to find a jacket that hugs me in all the right places because one, I am petite. Two, I have short arms and a short torso so everything is usually big on me, but this jacket fits me perfectly.

Let’s talk about my trousers for a sec…I mean..LOVE THEM! I love a regular trouser, but in denim? In this shade of blue? YES! My favorite jean at the moment! It actually gives it a tomboy feel, but feminine at the same time. I love the little rips here and there which adds more character. This pair is going to be a repeat offender in my wardrobe!

I love having statement shoes and these red beauties are one of them! They can change the mood of your outfit almost immediately! Also, it is February and I like to incorporate pops of red or pinks in my wardrobe here and there as much as I can. It’s just a thing that I like to do!

Layer your jewelry! From rings, to bracelets, and necklaces, layering them gives your jewelry a new look! Almost like wearing a different piece of jewelry! Even with a basic jeans and tee outfit, your look will hardly be basic!

Fanny packs aren’t so bad and sort of making its way back in the scene lately. I’ve had this Gucci belt bag for years..(10 years now?) and I keep using it from time to time. I have the smaller version and it is just the cutest. It’s subtle and it also doubles as a belt (belt bag, duh!) as you can see here. It fits my phone, lipgloss and my cards. Perfect while running around SF without the bulk! <3
