How much fun is this tee! My friend Laura from Have Need Want, and Have Need Want Luxury, has designed a fun line of tee-shirts, and I am here for them!

The collection features several light-hearted sayings, and they are available in multiple colors. Love that!

These tees are super fun to pair with jeans, shorts, a denim skirt, and any casual bottom to create a fun, daytime look. In addition to styling these tees ourselves, they will make fabulous gifts this upcoming holiday season! Love!

I am having fun wearing this tee for daily activities. People are quick to stop me and pay me a compliment! It’s so much fun! Since I am a huge fan of designer handbags, I went with this fabulous tee which lists some of the designers I love. In addition, I did take high school French, so there’s that. haha

Since this tee lists a few fabulous designers, I decided to pair mine with a comfortable pair of straight leg jeans and my favorite Givenchy handbag. I mean, it is called out in the tee, so I had to pair them together!

In addition to these fun, printed tee’s, Laura’s handbag resale shop is booming! Check it out HaveNeedWantLuxury.com. She has a ton of fabulous bags in stock! Love!

In case you are new here, I met Laura close to ten years ago at fashion week while catching a cab to the Zimmerman fashion show. Once we started talking, we realized we were both from the same area! We have been friends ever since! Love!

Hopefully you love her printed tees as much as I do. I love wearing mine!

A touch of resort during winter

how to wear resort clothing in winter tart collections resort 2018 dresscult gaia luna bag reviewhow to wear resort clothing in winter

wearing: bold gold and purple earrings / Bobbie Brown “Lilac” lipstick / resort 2018 sundress c/o Tart Collections (save 20% off your purchase with code BAFASHIONISTA20 now through Feb. 23, 2018)  / denim jacket / round bamboo bag / Chanel spring nail polish / wedge espadrilles

This is the time of year when it is just plain cold! In addition to being cold, the trees are bare, and the sky is dreary. What we all dream about is a sunny vacation, in eighty degree weather, at a fabulous resort. Unfortunately, not all of us can break away from our kids activities, or work, at this time of year and go sleep on a beach. <sigh>

Thankfully, we can bring the look of the resort to our wardrobe! Love! If you haven’t noticed, Tart Collections has released their fabulous resort 2018 collection, and it can instantly transport you to the resort of your dreams! The collection is filled with beautiful prints, and designs, which are perfect for an exotic beach getaway.  Of course, we have a trick for taking those resort designs to city streets when we can’t actually be on a beach!

This beautiful dress for the resort 2018 season by Tart Collections instantly caught my eye. It has a flirty tie back, and empire waist; making it ideal as a swimsuit cover-up, or beach-side dress, for an exotic getaway. Since I can’t get myself to a beach getaway at the moment, I brought the look to my local city street.

You can wear resort-wear in the winter! I paired my resort 2018 dress from Tart Collections with my classic go-to denim jacket, and city-street-worthy wedge espadrilles. The espadrille portion of the shoe matches the vibe of the dress, while the wedge adds instant street cred. To complete the look, I paired the dress with this vacation-ready bamboo circle bag. It adds the perfect vacation vibe to the overall look!

Since it was forty-seven degrees out when I wore this dress over the week-end, I had to keep my jacket on. I cannot wait for our spring weather to start in the middle of February; this jacket will come off, and this dress will be perfect alone! Now. . .about that beach resort getaway I am currently dreaming of. . . <sigh> At least I have a dress which gives off a beach resort vibe!

You can grab your own piece of a beach resort online at TartCollections.com. You can also save 20% off your resort-ready look with coupon code BAFASHIONISTA20 now through 2/23/2018. Their fabulous resort collection will transition seamlessly into spring 2018. Love that!

Did I mention Tart Collections is based right here in the San Francisco Bay Area? Love!!!

Perfect black dress for any body type

classic black dress karen klein san francisco clothing made in san francisco how to wear silver boots san francisco bay area fashion karen klein dresssan francisco fashion designers

wearing: bright pink statement earrings c/o SugarFix by BaubleBar / Bobbi Brown lipstick “Lilac” / long black dress c/o Karen Klein / rose gold cuff  / Chloe handbag / Chanel fall nail polish / black and rose gold watch / Silver booties (on major sale!!)

There is nothing more satisfying then finding the perfect black dress. Karen Klein is a local designer here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and she makes her clothing to flatter any body type. This black dress by her is not only chic, it can be worn by a size two, or a size fourteen; it’s absolute style perfection!

My husband is not the type to bring me flowers; I knew this going in. He is a sports guy who has practical spending habits. When he saw me in this dress, he said I looked really pretty. He said the dress was really flattering. This is not something he normally does! He is not the type of guy to throw me random compliments, so when he said that about this dress, I knew it held a lot of weight!

This black Karen Klein dress has two pockets in front,  a droopy silhouette, and a waist tie. It drapes really well from the shoulders, and allows your figure to show through from the tie belt. The fabric is soft and comfortable; making this dress easy to wear often, and all day-and all night!

This is my go-to black dress now; and I can’t wait to wear it more, and more! If you haven’t had a chance to check out Karen Klein’s collection yet, please do! You will fall in love with her designs, and her concept of making clothing to fit every body type. Plus, her clothing is made right here in San Francisco! I love it when my clothing is not only made in the USA, it is made right here in the Bay Area. Love that!

You can find this dress, and Karen’s Klein’s collection online at UbyKarenKlein.com
