Chokers are all the rage right now, and they’re such a great, inexpensive trend to add to your outfit. I’m seeing tons of them on fashion influencers and celebrities, ranging from simple and black (almost ribbon-like) styles, to styles embellished in lace, beads, and gems. Growing up in the 90’s, I remember those plastic tattoo-esque chokers being such a craze, and I’m seeing girls sporting these all over again! I made my own choker, simply by tying off the elastic straps of a beaded headband that I just had siting around (take a peek at your unused headbands or craft drawers, and maybe you can even DIY yourself your own choker!). If DIY is not your style, I’ve rounded up some inexpensive options below – 10 chokers all under $10! How do you feel about the return of the choker necklace?

I was recently introduced to the brand Day & Mood, a Scandinavian design label founded in 2014. I love the brand’s minimalistic aesthetic, and their styles seems to be classic and traditional, yet modern and on-trend. I completely fell for their leather Irene Vintage Crossbody in Tan. Though their website shows it as more of a grayish tan, it’s a perfect cognac tan color and looks great worn as a shoulder bag or crossbody. After these photos were taken, I actually had two additional holes created in the strap, so that I have options of shorter shoulder and crossbody lengths (I’m 5’1, so typically some straps hit too far down on me). I can definitely tell how well-made the bag is and the stunning craftsmanship. I used this as my daytime bag for my recent travels, and it’s the perfect casual bag to throw on for a Sunday around town or a casual night out!…

I was able to sleep in this morning to finally catch up on some sleep after some East Coast/West Coast jet lag. I got back several days ago from a trip to San Francisco that was after another incredible trip to NYC to visit House of Bumble for our annual Bumble and bumble National Sales Gathering. This was my first time to San Francisco (my first time to California, in fact), and I am IN LOVE with the city! Our first day, we started with a breakfast that was almost too pretty to eat, and then went on our way to start exploring San Fran, wandering to Union Square, Chinatown, The Haight, Golden Gate Park, The Mission, and everywhere in between! Some of my shopping finds… Our trip involved sightseeing, cocktails, lots of eating, a little shopping, a trip to Sonoma, and the continued exclamation of how much we love…

With tropical storms brewing, it’s been raining every day in Florida for the last couple of weeks. Pair that rain with the summer humidity, and I am definitely craving some cooler temperatures! I broke out some of my favorite worn-in ankle booties and paired them with some distressed denim and a tank, hoping to get into the Fall spirit. I’m not looking forward to the day that I have to replace these booties when they get to the end of their life, as they are SO comfortable and can really work for all seasons. I started browsing a bit, and found some similar options that I’ll have to keep in mind. Take a peek:
