Welcoming San Francisco Summer With a White Sundress

Summer and San Francisco are not two words you use often together. At least not in the traditional sense. But the weather has been a little weird lately.We've been having plenty of sunshine and even heat! I'm loving it! I can get use to that!

Yesterday, being eager for hot lazy summer days, I went on wondering around town. My original plan was to do adult stuff - run errand, take care of all the little things that can't fit my office hours. But weekends are not meant to be bound by agenda right?! So as soon as Humminglion called and suggested we do a photo adventure instead I was in!

Choosing my outfit wasn't hard at all. I've been hoarding summer clothes for months now, waiting for the warmness to arrive!

This white sundress is all about looking effortless and easy-breezy chic. Accessorize it with H&M straw hat and Soludos loafers and you are ready to walk on sunshine!

City-Chic Overalls

City-Chic Overalls. Yes, I just used the word chic and overalls in one sentence! It's possible! Overalls are a very controversial wardrobe piece and prove to be intimidating and challenging. But paired with the right top and accessories, you’ll look more runway chic than farmhouse fashionable.

Let's play!! Let's take fashion risks!

4 Step Easy Daily Makeup Routine

I'm not the kind of person who wears a lot of makeup. It's not that I don't like it. I lack the patience of layering it and then having to maintain it throughout the day. Also there is no force on earth that can make me wake up 1h earlier in the morning to apply make-up. My "Look-like-a-human" daily beauty routine is really simple and easy. A standart make-up routine includes about 10 steps: moisturizer, corrector & concealer, foundation, powder, bronzer & blush, lips, brows, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara. I only do 4: corrector, luminizer, eyeshadow, mascara

Step 1

Dark circles under the eyes!!! HUGE problem for me. Even when I get enough sleep I get them all the time.

That results in having the following conversation way too many times: People: Ohhhh, you look so tired. Are you okay? Me: Ah yes, this is just the way my face looks

A product I swear by is Bobbi Brown's corrector. Great for dark circles. Super easy to apply. All you need is to put some on your finger tips and then tap it gently underneath your eyes.

Tip: Color is key. Pink tones neutralize pinky-blue darkness, peach tones neutralize purple-brown darkness. In general, light to medium skin tones should use corrector in pink-bisque shades, while medium and warmer skin tones should use peach-tones correctors.

If you are uncertain what color suits you best just go to Sephora and ask an assistant to help you choose. I tend to go for a color that is lighter than my skin tone but be aware too light might create the reverse raccoon effect

Extra step: If you are looking for extra coverage apply concealer or a some foundation over your corrector. A yellow-based concealer one shade lighter than your complexion works to brighten the under eye area for all women.

Step 2

I love me a good skin illuminator. It's a semi-transparent cream with a very light tint and small sparkly particles. This product gives your skin a healthy warm glow. It basically simulates what a young good hydrated skin looks like.

Step 3

Eyeshadow (any brand really) I love using white or cream eyeshadow on the inside corner of my eye and under the line of my eyebrows. It's a trick that makes your eyes "open" and visually lifts your brows.

Step 4

Mascara I love mascara. It's magic! In 2 easy strokes my eyes have more defined look and a pop. You can go by personal taste, my vote goes for a mascara that kicks up the volume.

And that's about it. Takes about 5min and it's well worth the time.

General tips

Always clean your make up. Your skin needs to breath. I often use eye make-up remover for my whole face as I find it really gentle on my skin 1. MAKE Dual-Phase Eye Makeup Remover | 2.KIEHL'S SINCE 1851 Supremely Gentle Eye Make-up Remover | 3. NARS Gentle Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate Current favorite: Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber De-Tox Hydrating Serum |

Before you go out of your house always apply some sun protection on your skin. Use BB cream or sunscreen. Really. Use it. The sun feels lovely but it can be so damaging. Current favorite: Clarins sunscreen for face wrinkle control cream spf 50

The Wesley - Boutique Hotel In Palm Springs You Need To Know About

The Wesley Palm Springs is the perfect desert oasis that we discovered randomly. I hate to give out this gem of a hotel but I think everyone should know about it! :)

The Wesley is a boutique hotel with approximately eight different units varying in size and price. Each flat features original mid-century artwork and showcase nice design touches from the tasteful owners.

The location is great - situated in a quiet area near the main road that leads to all of Palm Springs, everything is literally minutes away. For example, the iconic pink door is just 5 minutes away.

We stayed in the micro apartment unit which included everything possible for a comfortable stay - a private patio, a gas grill, fully stocked kitchen, fast wi-fi, mini dining table, LCD TV, large comfy bed, and a clean modern bathroom.

In the common areas, there are bikes to use, an outdoor bar kitchen, washers, dryer, and an amazing pool/hot tub.

(interior images of our room by AirBnB)

You can book this gem through AirBnB or by directly emailing the hotel.

You all know what time it is! It's Palm Springs time!

In my next few posts I'll go over some of my favorite places in Palm Springs and day trip options :)

Palm Springs Iconic Pink Door (Part 1)

If any of you have ever been on the internet, you've probably seen the iconic pink door. It's beautiful! It's pink! It's a Mid-Century jewel!

The door is the entrance to Moises Esquenazi's home (entirely designed by him). Click here to see photos of what lay behind the door I promise you won't be disappointed.

Overall the whole city of Palm Springs is a virtual museum of Mid-Century Modern architecture with possibly the world's largest and best-preserved examples of elegant homes and landmark buildings constructed during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. And that is just one of many reasons why I wanted to visit.

Pinterest made me fall in love it's dessert charm and Instagram made me long for it's hot weather.

In the next few posts I'll be going over beautiful sites in the area that are worth visiting (and what to wear when there).

Stop number 1: Moises Esquenazi's home (The iconic pink door) Address of the iconic pink door: 1100 E Sierra Way, Palm Springs

Sea New York Batik Lace Dress

Happy to wear my gorgeous Sea New York batik lace dress today! I'm especially in love with this pattern because recently I saw one of my favorite Hollywood actresses rocking the same fabric design! I present you Emma Stone in batik lace silk pants by Sea New York:

Twinsies! I'm adding these awesome red tassel HM sandals I found at Crossroads (cost 10$) to complete the look! Thank you Crossroads for always providing treasures for ridiculously low price!

Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking.

Pink Flamingo Fun

Meet Steve the pink flamingo with no legs. Steve was part of the VNYL team until we convinced them to let him be a permanent part of our photo adventure. At the end of the day even if you are a legless garden flamingo, your life doesn't need to stop there!

By the way, VNYL started as a curated vinyl subscription service. They just recently opened this brick and mortar location. If you guys like vinyl make sure to stop by - they have a great music selection and the most beautiful headphones I've ever seen! The interior of the store is really great and presents a ton of great Instagram opportunities. VNYL is nested in the heart of the trendy Abbot Kinney area. Go and check them out before they are too popular.

Earth Tones Outfit At The San Francisco Botanical Garden

Wearing earth tones at the SF Botanical garden today! This outfit is super easy and comfortable.

The flats I'm wearing are Calvin Klein. Chic and slick they are my new favorite essential item! I found them at ROSS! ROSS has done miracles for my shoe collection! I almost always leave the store with few pairs! Not every ROSS store has a big shoe wear section. If you are a shoe lover explore ROSS stores in different neighborhoods and find the one that carries the most shoes and restocks often. For me Downtown San Francisco store has the best variety in SF. They have lots of shoe racks that due to the foot traffic on Market street get restocked almost daily!

The denim jacket I'm wearing is a treasure I found on Thread Up for 13 dollars! Oh my, if you have the patience to browse the site you can find amazing low budget finds that will blow your mind:)

I've always been a fan of mixing brands from different price ranges. Looking stylish is not about how much you pay or what label you wear. You can have beautiful, functional wardrobe at a steal price by being a savvy shopper.

Finding the perfect leather jacket within your budget can be your next mini adventure! And remember no matter if you find it at a thrift store, yard sale, Zara, J. Crew or Saks Fifth Avenue they are many ways to make it look stunning.Wearing it with confidence is just one of them!

The Iconic Pink Paul Smith Wall

You've probably seen Paul Smith's pink wall. Big, bright and wonderful - this wall is all over Pinterest and Instagram. It's especially popular among style bloggers and tourists as a back drop for a quick fab photo shoot.

The wall can be found at the Paul Smith store on Melrose Ave. Big and bright it's hard to miss. Few blocks away is another iconic LA wall - Made in LA. Maybe plan to visit both, they are worth it!

Gingham Pattern Mix And Match

Mixing patterns is fun but a lot of people are "scared" or unsure about what really is considered a good "mix-and-match". They are some rules but most of it (for me) is a gut feeling. Basic tips...

If you want to try but don't know where to start begin with replacing your solid color top with a monochromatic pattern in the same color. Play with mixing patterns of different scale. Stay in the same color family. Mixed prints are paired well with neutrals. Most importantly: Have fun!

Today I'm mixing Gingham patterned items! The gorgeous red AQUA Charlie Check Pleated skirt with a flannel button up in black and white.
