The rain has finally stopped, at least for a few days, which means I get to wear my new blue suede shoes! Yay! I had been eyeing these shoes by Aquazurra for several months, but I was waiting for the right color to come along. When I spotted them in this pretty blue hue at ShopBop, I knew it was time to pull the trigger. I am so happy I did!

One of the hardest things to find is a comfortable pair of high heels; especially a pair which is 4″ high. There are a few brands or designers which I find comfortable, but unfortunately, they are far and few between. I heard through the grapevine that Aquazurra’s high heels are incredibly comfortable, so I knew I needed a pair! I am glad I found this pair in blue because they are both comfy and cute. Love that!

From now on, I am going to keep my eye on Aquazurra for new colors and styles. Since this pair is comfortable, I know more styles from the brand will be too. Three cheers for adding a comfy brand to my approved list of shoes!

A few of my favorite high heels brands, which are both beautiful and comfortable, are Manolo Blahnik, Joie, Aquazurra and Valentino. Which shoe brands do you find make comfortable high heels?

Piperlime, which happens to be one of my favorite online shops, has launch their own collection this fall 2014 season; the Piperlime Collection. This beautiful collection features on-trend pieces which are wearable and can easily integrate into any Fashionista’s wardrobe. The new Piperlime Collection features both casual and work appropriate pieces which will easily become closet staples. Love that!

I had the honor of viewing the entire Piperlime Collection in person at the RewardStyle party during New York Fashion Week. The collection featured beautiful colors, textures and silhouettes. I was impressed with the quality and affordable prices of the new Piperlime Collection. I definitely saw trends from the runways integrated into the fall 2014 Piperlime Collection, which makes it easy to bring the runways into your own closet.

I love this tee style blouse from the new Piperlime Collection I am wearing in the photos above. I can easily wear this blouse with a pencil skirt for a professional look or dress it down with jeans. I also love how it looks with the pants I am wearing in the photos above. It is incredibly comfortable and will look great when layered with a jacket or sweater later on in the fall season; or even during the winter season.

The Piperlime Collection includes all the hottest trends for the fall 2014 season including florals, lace, knits and moto jackets. The color palette is also right on trend for the fall 2014 season and easy to integrate into any autumn wardrobe.

A Splendid day at the beach

Beach season is here! On Sunday I went to the beach with my family and was thrilled to have a chance to wear my new dress from the new Splendid store at Santana Row. The weather was perfect and the beach was not too crowded. The Splendid dress was comfortable and perfect for a day of relaxation with my family. If you are local to the Bay Area and have not checked out the new Splendid store at Santana Row, please take some time to visit it! The store is stocked with on-trend casual attire which is perfect for our “California Casual” street style here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Have you had a chance to head to the beach yet this season? What is your favorite beach attire?
