living in grandma's plaid // the clings-to-you sexy dress that you can eat in

I know it's technically fall but in Cali I'm still dressing like its the middle of summer. Boa and I were in China this past July. One of my favorite finds from our trip was this red plaid button-up. It's my grandma's plaid from decades ago. I found it at her old house in Shanghai. It's in great condition and I can't wait to break it in even more.

Side note: I'm obsessed with wrapping something around my waist. First of all I'm super into the 90s and secondly how many of you girls have experienced the whole heat-wave-outside and then icebox-inside thing?! I've had my fair share of that experience and it's just not fun when you're not prepared for the climate inside shops, restaurants, or the movie theatre. Wrap something around your waist! You'll fashionably prepared for anything.

It's also great to have a super easy to wear dress on hand. The one I'm wearing in this post is from Forever21 (its called the marled knit tank dress and I'm wearing a size medium for that "clings to your body in just the right places but isn't so tight you can't eat anything" look ;)

Since I've got a shorter petite frame I really love that this particular dress hits me right around my knees--the longer length helps me in the height department by creating longer lines. When it comes to style I'm all about comfort first and this one is so comfy you could take a nap in it. This dress is a closet-must have since its hits all my personal criteria: price, comfort, the ability to dress up/down, and versatility. We all need more pieces like this in our closet!

PEPPER LOVE

Hi friends! I know it's been FOREVER since my last post. Wishing I could keep up my blogging at a steadier pace but life gets busy and you just gotta roll with it. The last couple of months my boy and I have both been busy working and for those of you that missed the announcement 14 weeks ago on Instagram...WE HAVE A FUR BABY!!! Her name is Pepper and she's perfect.

       
The day we found the love of our lives. She was so grey from the newspaper that lined her crate at the pet store it took four baths to get her to the white fur puppy she is. 
Her ears when they were still kinda floppy...
