Trying out one of this season's hot colors - rose quartz. This gentle pastel shade of pink brings a touch of spring to all the gloomy days we've been having in San Francisco lately.
Rose quartz and Serenity (a shade of pastel blue) were chosen as colors of the year 2016 by Pantone.
I'm really excited about this spring's palette. All the colors bring a feeling of calm and relaxation.
Appealing in all finishes, matte, metallic and glossy, the engaging combo of rose quartz and serenity (a shade of pastel blue) joins easily with other mid-tones including greens and purples, rich browns, and all shades of yellow and pink. Read the full Pantone of the year report here

During my New York Fashion Week visit to the East Coast I teamed up with My Endless Wardrobe to try what wardrobe renting feels like. Here is what I found.
First things first. What's My Endless Wardrobe? It's a clothing rental service where a personal stylist selects your pieces. Looking for work wear, some date night options or want to try mixing up your look? No problem, every item is selected based on your needs. You get 7-10 hand picked items worth $1000, which is a steal since the service is only $149 ($20 styling fee and a $129 rental fee). (At the end of this post you'll even find a discount promo code, how cool is that?)
When my box arrived I was excited and nervous. Is there something I'd like inside? What if it doesn't fit? Let's find out, I thought.
Opening that package felt like Christmas. Everything was put together with care. The first thing you see is a personalized card that guides you through your items. What I found really neat about the card is that my stylist actually took the time to explain her choices and gave some further advice on how to style the items. It was clear that Sophie (my stylist) actually did read my questionnaire, open all of my wardrobe inspiration links, and view my Pinterest boards. This impressed me because it wasn't an algorithm/software bot like some other clothing rental services. It's like your super stylish best friend that is sending you a look-good-feel-awesome-kick-ass care package.
So far, so good. But wait! All the pieces were beautiful but the big question was.. how would they fit/was the stylist on point? Let's find out! Here is my 7 piece wardrobe:
What was rented? Theory painted check 3/4 sleeve shirt Retails for $219 Your price on MEW if you decide to keep it $175
Finders Keepers front tie skirt Retails for $156 Your price on MEW if you decide to keep it $127
Fifteen Twenty mini dress Retails for $177 Your price on MEW if you decide to keep it $142 Note: This was the item I wore the most. This dress is so comfortable and flattering! It's a lovely essential that effortlessly transitions from day to night.
1.State tuxedo pants Retails for $105 Your price on MEW if you decide to keep it $84 Note: This was the item I was most nervous about. White tuxedo pants? A little too dressy for me, I thought. But you know what? They fit me like a glove and with a little imagination you can totally dress them down! I added a panama hat and a scuba top to bring the look to a more daytime affair.
Fifteen Twenty cross over split back blouse Retails for $195 Your price on MEW if you decide to keep it $154
The Fifth Cutout dress Retails for $138 Your price on MEW if you decide to keep it $110 Note: This dress has a very sexy cutout back. Unfortunately I don't have a snap of it. Just trust me :P
Julie Brown printed shirt dress Retails for $202 Your price on MEW if you decide to keep it $162
In case you are wondering why the wardrobe is so black and white, it's because I wanted something that was very New York and easy to match with the rest of the items I was bringing along:)

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. 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!

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
