White Denim + Eyelet

Finding a great pair of white denim can be rather tricky. The perfect pair will be soft, but not too sheer. The thinner the fabric the more sheer they will be, which you definitely do not want! I absolutely love this pair, the destructed details of this pair, and these are on major sale.

I adore the eyelet detail of this top. I bought it in store & was so excited to see it finally available online! It sold out really quickly, but is now back in stock & on sale. Sizes are very limited, but is also available in all white – so pretty! This top is similar & under $20! I also found this adorable romper version & these amazing matching shorts.

Thanks for stopping by!

Friday’s Five: Favorite Sunnies

Living in sunny California means sunnies are a must! I used to be a one pair kind of girl & was content with a classic square cat-eye style that would go with everything. I still gravitate towards neutrals, clearly tortoise, but have branched out with colored, mirrored lenses & marble. When it comes to an investment pair, I still would go for something timeless and classic like these. Aside from being stylish and adding to your outfit, it is important to always have the right pair of sunnies with you to protect your eyes from all that sunshine (or to cover up after too little sleep- hello, instant makeup!). Click on each pair above for details on my most worn styles.

1.Free People- Mystic River [great dupe for the Dior So Real’s!!]

2.Illesteva- Leonard [similar pair for under $100]

3.Ray Ban- Aviator

4.Quay- Sugar & Spice [similar pair under $25]

5.Oliver People’s- Brinley

Have a great weekend out in the sunshine!

White Lace Romper

Rompers are one of my favorite styles to wear year round, but especially in summer. It is great to have a complete outfit in one piece of clothing & I always feel more comfortable in a romper than I do in a dress for everyday wear.

Looks to Love: Chokers

Happy Friday loves! I haven’t shared a looks to love post in a while & wanted to share my most recent of- the-moment accessory with you- the choker! I was very hesitant to try this look out considering my younger sister was wearing it (she’s 10 years younger than me) & the fact that I remember wearing these back in middle school! Can’t believe I am now the age where things I wore are “back in style”. Alas, I have been loving them lately!

I personally love chokers that are more dainty & feminine. I picked up this lace one recently (pictured above) & love that it allows me to wear the trend in a more subdued way. I also love this one for a more bohemian feel- it looks so cute paired with a low v-neck top! Both are very budget friendly, which is how I tend to always shop, but even more so for items that are very trendy. Let me know what you think of this look to love!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend & don’t forget to check out yesterday’s #nsale post for details on my favorite finds from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

By now I am sure you have heard all about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that is currently going on. It is currently only open to card holders, but will be open to the public at midnight tonight! Wanted to share my favorite picks from the sale for you to easily navigate the best pieces that are still in stock! During big sales like this, I like to focus on basics & items I know will get a ton of wear. I wish I could take home every single one of these pieces! I am currently trying to narrow down my overflowing cart, but will definitely be picking up this top, these boots, and this cardigan. Happy Shopping!

Friday’s Five: Summer Stripes

Happy Friday! This week felt pretty long for being short & I am looking forward to an agenda free weekend! Today I am sharing one of my favorite summer trends- stripes! Stripes are having a major moment this summer especially in shades of blue & white. Traditionally referred to as seersucker, these light & airy striped silhouettes are a summertime staple! I typically like to pair my striped separates with classic indigo or white denim & a neutral stacked heel. Hope today’s post inspires your weekend wardrobe & I look forward to seeing how you wear your summer stripes!

My top five current favorite summer striped styles:

Embroidered Jacket + Denim Cutoffs

As I was writing my daily to-do list in my (super cute!!) agenda today, I realized that my blog 1 year anniversary is quickly approaching! It is hard to believe that this time last year I was living in San Francisco, working full-time for Levi’s & getting everything organized to start this adventure that is blogging. I was very hesitant & had a million reasons (excuses) not to pursue something that I felt passionate about. I worried of what people I knew personally would think & if anyone would actually follow along. But I finally disregarded all the self-doubt and put my heart & soul into launching Girl About Town. I started this journey for myself & every day I am happy that I did.

OTS Stripe Top + Lace Up Espadrilles

Summer has officially arrived and so has the heat! Off the shoulder tops in lightweight fabrics have been my go to as of late. I love that I can easily dress them up or down & pair with any bottom. I especially love OTS tops with full sleeves or ruffle details. They add just the right amount of a feminine touch.

Tie Front Romper

I wore this cute little romper to brunch during our vacation in Maui. I packed a million outfits with the intention of shooting a couple of looks, but being in the moment prevailed. It was a blissful week of no makeup and salty air dried beach waves with the occasional braid. I had never been to Maui or any of the Hawaiian Islands for that matter. I loved how the humidity made my skin and hair feel so moisturized- quite different from dry California.
