JSlides Amanda Platform Sneaker curated on LTK

Wore this to my first day of deliberations. I decided to wear my BOSS travel pants that you may have seen numerous times across my adventure through Europe. It was a dark and ominous day as the fate of another human was in the hands of twelve complete strangers. I kept my look simple by pairing it with a black top and my platform sneakers. #LTKunder100

I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! I spent it going to some of my favorite spots around San Diego. It was extremely crowded downtown with the holiday and Padres game. It was still pretty chilly but it looks like it’s finally heating up this week! I wore this cream/ivory sequin shell top and side lace-up shorts on a peculiarly warm day. I paired it with my bucket bag and leather slides. Happy Tuesday and enjoy the short work week, everyone!

It was a beautiful weekend so I had the opportunity to wear this chartreuse midi dress! I paired it with my floppy flower hat, rattan bucket bag, and new woven crisscross wedge sandals.

I’m retiring my puffer jackets for the season as the temperature begins to increase. This almond quilted piece is a unique puffer that doesn’t have a zipper but rather it has ties for closure! I paired this with an all black base.

Slowly tapping into my cowgirl era! I do own quite a bit of denim pieces so you’ll be seeing more of it this summer! This is actually a denim dress that I wore as a coat. It was a bit chilly over the weekend so I layered it on top of my fringe mini dress. To finish off this look, I wore my white platform sneakers and converted my belt bag into a shoulder bag! #denimjacket #platformsneakers #casuallook

MediHeal’s Teatree Trouble Pad comes in a refillable container and also includes plastic tweezer so you can easily grab the square cotton pads without contaminating it.

After cleansing my face, I use a full pad on my cheeks. This is similar to gauze so if you want to cover smaller portions of your face, like your forehead and chin, you can easily tear and adjust the cotton pad to your liking.

I initially left this on my face for only 5 minutes to see if my skin would react to it but thankfully, everything worked out fine!

Afterwards, I take the pad and use it to wipe my face to enhance absorption. The hero ingredients are TeaTreee from Jeju Island and Lactobacillus.

This is great for anyone with sensitive or acne-prone skin! #mediheal #koreanbeauty #skincare

Sometimes all you need is a black and white outfit. I’m wearing my new white lace platform sneakers that are surprisingly lightweight. They’re the perfect white shoes for spring! I paired them with my little black fringe mini dress and my top handle bag! The sneakers make this outfit casual and great for the weekend!

Wore a basic old money outfit for a quick trip to Julian. I paired my high rise ivory shorts with a blue linen shirt and a dark wash denim jacket. For my footwear, I chose my backless loafers for comfort.

I wanted to share one of my latest favorite products: MediHeal’s Teatree Calming Moisture Ampoule.

I have combination skin where it’s oily in certain regions and dry in others. On top of that, I have sensitive, acne-prone skin. Teatree is thought to be acne-fighting so I was excited to try this out! This is highly concentrated and made with 92% Tea Tree Leaf Water to strengthen the skin barrier.

I have now integrated this scentless Teatree ampoule into my everyday routine! I feel as if it makes me skin feel more dewy, supple, and smooth. I’ve also noticed that my makeup sits much better when I use this as a base with my moisturizer!

Overall, this reduced the inflammation on my face without irritating or drying out my skin!

Took my new sneakers out for a spin! I’ve been opting for comfort when it comes to shoes though I still do occasionally wear heels. I am pretty petite so I look for anything that can give me a boost in height. Platform sneakers tend to be heavy but these are not! I was surprised at just how lightweight these sneakers were even with the ridged rubber platform! I love the color combination and it worked perfectly with this look!

A casual denim jeans look for a day of browsing home goods! I paired these light wash high rise fit and flare jeans with an oversized double breasted plaid blazer and my go-to combo of a cashmere sweater and collar button down. It was sprinkling throughout the day so I wore my leather combat boots!

#LTKsalealert #LTKfindsunder100 #LTKstyletip

Wore my v-neck sweater mini dress for a rather chilly day on the beach. My intention for the day was to grab some goodies at the farmers market downtown but I wound up at Coronado! I paired this dress with my favorite perforated platform sneakers, gold hoop earrings and my cat eye sunnies!

I recently made an impulse purchase but I have no regrets! I saw this Boyy bag in person for the first time and it went home with me! I was already on the market for a neutral bag! This is the Boyy Buckle 23 in Beach Linen Sienna. I paired it with my hunter green pleated midi skirt and a cropped tweed jacket.

Went back to Orange County over the weekend and it was windy! I wore my cropped side tie turtleneck sweater along with my crochet flower pencil skirt and Lady Dior bag. This is great for work as it is for a day out!

Have a Shirtdress in your closet? Here are different ways I would style it!

1. Alone with a statement belt for a polished look
2. Over white trousers for a professional outfit
3. Opened with boot-cut jeans for a casual feel
4. Opened with shorts for a cool spring day

Styling can have a drastic impact on the way you present yourself to the world! I know it may not appear like it however, I feel as if I’ve been really lazy with my outfits. I don’t think I put that much effort into my looks anymore and maybe that’s a good thing! I used to be more flamboyant and my blog certainly documents that. I do prefer more minimalistic and refined pieces now which is perfectly reflected here.

I styled this white button down and light washed flare denim jeans with a black sweater vest and my camel sleeveless duster vest. I kept my accessories in the same color scheme with a black patent Lady Dior and nude pointy toe heels. Almost everything I’m wearing is still available and linked!

They say black and brown don’t mix well but I disagree! I haven’t worn my leather motorcycle jackets for a while so I thought I would take this one out again! I paired this brown lace-up jacket with a black sweater vest and high rise skinny trousers for a casual old money weekend look.

What are your favorite prints? I love wearing houndstooth anything during Fall and Winter however, since it’s still cold here, I’m transitioning this shacket to Spring! I bought this Sandro jacket in Paris last year and it’s gotten so much wear! Don’t you love it when you invest in a new item and actually wear it frequently? Anyways, I paired it with a simple black outfit for a simple look. Almost everything I’m wearing here is still available!

Spring is finally here! The weather is a still bit confusing in San Diego with the constant rain and random hour of blazing sun. Nevertheless, I’m enjoying the outdoors whenever I can! Blazers are one of the layering pieces I always turn to during spring and this is one of my new favorites. I got this gingham blazer prior to the pandemic and never had the opportunity to wear it. For this look, I paired it with a silk sleeveless top, high waisted shorts, and backless loafers. My outfit looked a bit bulky so I cinched my waist with my favorite statement belt!

Just used up the 30 Montaigne candle from Dior! This was from the Dior advent calendar but I have another one that I plan on using during colder months! This candle has spicy and amber notes and is intense though truly intoxicating!

Monochromatic blue gloomy beach day outfit! I paired my navy blue turtleneck sweater with a periwinkle midi pleated skirt for a comfortable and casual look. I kept my accessories minimal with white sneakers and a darker toned shoulder bag. #oldmoney #casualstyle #coastalgrandmother

Spent the day in Riverside and visited the Mission Inn! Not much has changed since the last time I was there however, there were some spots that were closed off due to slipping hazards from the rain. Fortunately, these knee high boots are waterproof! I wore my zebra slit skirt with a ribbed top and my black bomber. I’ve been wearing this Maje bomber that I bought in Paris nonstop! It’s such a versatile piece that is comfortable and keeps me warm!

The Prada Paradoxe Intense perfume is an intoxicating woody amber fragrance that is both sensual as it is mysterious. The fragrance notes are jasmine, amber accords and moss accords.

I wore this grey and black outfit back when it was still raining! It’s an updated version of my fail proof combo: collar top underneath a cashmere sweater with leather shorts. I layered it with a long sleeveless duster and knee high boots.

A complete black and white look featuring my new suede platform sneakers from J/Slides! It’s been raining quite frequently in San Diego but when the sun came out, I immediately took these out for a spin! I created a look that complimented my shoes with a sheer collar button down, cropped sweater vest, leather shorts and a midi length tweed coat.

#LTKshoecrush #LTKfindsunder100 #LTKstyletip

These high waisted wool trousers are one of my most comfortable bottoms! They’re actually travel pants though I do occasionally wear them to work! It’s still cool in San Diego so I layered up on top with a silk sleeveless shell and a black and white bird shirt. I finished it off with black accessories including this Lady Dior bag and d’orsay heels.

Spring weather is unpredictable. It could be blazing hot one day and raining the next. How do I stay prepared… especially when I travel? I bring my favorite raincoat! It’s very lightweight and doesn’t take up any room yet it keeps me dry and warm. I’m glad I brought it alone during my business trip to Chicago because it was raining on and off. For this look, I finished a day long of meetings and decided to continue wearing my contrast collar blue and white striped button down. I swapped out my high waisted trousers for high rise tailored shorts and my carry all tote for a crossbody.

Whenever it’s cold, my travel uniform consists of leggings and a heavyweight utility coat. I wore this look for a trip I took to Florida in December. I paired my black leggings with a hooded utility coat that transforms into a cropped jacket if I split it at the horizontal zipper - talk about versatility! To add some personality and depth to my look, I wore my calf-hair loafers and chevron MCM tote!

Romance is an adventure. Each relationship is a rollercoaster and let’s be honest. If it were a straight path, it wouldn’t be fun or interesting. To lose yourself in all the fervor of a great love is something you may be fortunate enough to experience at least once in your life.

Romance Eau de Parfum Intense is the perfect scent for all the passionate and fearless women out there. Although this is the Intense version in the Romance collection, it’s not overly powerful.

The fragrance is woody floral with key notes of rose, patchouli, and sandalwood. This Ralph Lauren perfume comes in a square cranberry glass bottle. In my opinion, this smell really embodies the Ralph Lauren spirit. It’s feminine yet fierce and fresh for every day wear.

It’s finally sunny again in San Diego! You know what that means? Enjoying the beach in solitude before people start coming in hoards during Spring Break! I bought these drawstring pants during the pandemic and they finally saw the light of day! I layered up with my lightweight quilted jacket since it’s still pretty chilly. As someone who is becoming more conscious about items in their closet and making the most of everything, I converted this belt bag into a crossbody/shoulder bag. Remember when belt bags were all the rage?

Channeling my inner bohemian in my patchwork midi dress with a denim vest. I would have worn heels but I opted for lace-up combat boots. To complete the look, I wore my brown leather hobo bag.

#LTKshoecrush #LTKSeasonal #LTKstyletip

A simple blue outfit for a casual day out! I bought this blue cardigan in Paris and I’ve been wearing it non-stop. It’s from Claudie Pierlot and the quality is just exceptional. Unfortunately, it’s sold out so I linked very similar ones! To add a bit of drama, I wore my leopard calf hair penny loafers. This was the perfect look for weekend brunch!

#LTKstyletip #LTKSpringSale #LTKshoecrush

I used to love wearing scarves and ponchos. I brought this poncho/cape/scarf out of retirement and worked it into my current style! I layered this brown and wool cape on top of a turtleneck and high rise shorts. To keep my legs warm, I wore my knee high boots!

#LTKstyletip #LTKshoecrush #LTKSeasonal

My favorite luggage has to be the Silhouette 17 collection from Samsonite. I loved my black carry-on so much so that I purchased another one in silver! I also have the medium spinner as a check-in bag. It’s the best suitcase I have owned to date and guess what? It’s on sale! If you’re curious about its functionality, I posted my full review on YouTube!

Collar shirts are my favorite layering piece. Ever since high school, I always layer them under dresses and top. They go with everything and work for every occasion! I went for an old money look here with my sheer Ralph Lauren roses sheer collar blouse, a camel knit dress, and knee high boots!

#LTKshoecrush #LTKSeasonal #LTKitbag

I’ve always been a big bag kind of girl, especially when it comes to work. The ability to put all my necessities into a single bag that I can toss over my shoulder is something I’ve looked for in a bag since middle school. I went from a messenger bag to wearing purely totes in high school and beyond. Since working in the corporate world, having a carryall powerhouse is a must. I recently wore this Tory Burch tote to a meeting in Palo Alto. I didn’t want a black bulky tote so I opted for a brown/camel/cognac color to go with my olive and black vertical striped midi skirt and a tweed maxi coat.
