Oh Concept striped tee for summer

san francisco bloggers san jose bloggers fall 2017 it bagssan jose street style

wearing: blue tassel earrings (avl in several colors!) / Chanel summer lipstick / tee c/o Oh Concept (use discount code CATHY-also comes in pink!!) / multi-color tassel bracelet stack (on major sale!) / Chanel summer nail polish / white watch c/o Daniel Wellington (use code BAYAREA15 to save 15%) (also love this black version) / Givenchy handbag (back on the radar for fall 2017!) / wide leg jeans (on major sale!!) / black wedge espadrilles (under $100!!)

How cute is this cold shoulder, striped tee by Oh Concept! I am in love with it! This lightweight tee is made from the softest cotton, and looks so cute with shorts, jeans, and midi skirts. I find myself reaching for it often. Oh Concept makes the best casual-wear; they have great styles which can be worn daily. Love that!

This outfit was super comfortable the other day when I wore it to meet up with my friend Dawn from Fashion Should Be Fun. We met up at Santana Row for a yummy lunch at Straits, and chatted the day away! This outfit was perfect for a day on the Row.

This fall, we are seeing A LOT less distressed denim, and more clean denim. As we move towards the end of summer shopping, and start to organize for fall, it is important to only buy things which will easily transition from summer into fall. These jeans do the trick!

Another fall trend to watch is the continuation of ties, cold shoulders, and asymmetrical lines. I love this Oh Concept tee because it hits all the bullet points for both the current summer trends, and the incoming fall trends. This will be a fabulous tee to wear for the rest of summer, as well as for transitioning into the fall season. The weather here in the Bay Area does not cool down until very late October, so an on trend tee to wear with jeans is an easy, and perfect, way to move into fall without wearing something too heavy for the weather. Love!

You can see the last time I wore an Oh Concept piece here.

Kendra Scott Santana Row celebrates one year on the row

Kendra Scott is celebrating one year at Santana Row! In order to celebrate their anniversary, the Kendra Scott team threw a fun party which included a gift with purchase if you spent $75 in-store. The gift was a beautiful gold and turquoise bracelet. Love!

In addition to a gift with purchase, from 1pm-4pm last Saturday, Kendra Scott donated 20% of sales to the Junior League of San Jose. If you have been following me for awhile, you might remember I am a Sustainer in the Junior League. It means so much to me that one of my favorite brands is so supportive of a non-profit organization which is near and dear to my heart. Kendra Scott is always giving generously to various charity organizations throughout Silicon Valley, it is so refreshing and inspiring to see a large brand take a keen interest in the community. It makes me want to support them back; and I do!

It was a lot of fun to catch up with many of the ladies I have known through volunteer work for well over a decade at the event. Then, a few minutes after I arrived, my friend Dawn from Fashion Should Fun showed up! Yay! I loved being able to introduce her to my friends from the Junior League. They are all such nice ladies, it was great to be able to introduce everyone.

Although people make the event, Kendra Scott left no stone unturned to throw a fabulous party. There were delicious light bites, yummy donuts, fun fruit juice concoctions, and a DJ. It is entirely possible a few of us were wiggling to the music a little bit. 😉

In addition to the party, there was some shopping to be done! I will always shop when I know it benefits a great charity and also to support a business who supports our community.

pictured: Harlow necklace (these stones look amazing in person-I wish these photos showed how cool these stones are!) / turquoise earrings (on my wish list) / bracelet stack / dangle earrings / gem tray

These strawberries were so delicious! There was also a light bite which was a mushroom stuffed with crab. Oh my! They were so good!!!

Kendra Scott’s summer 2017 collection:  nail polish / bracelets / thin cuff / wide cuff (this is the cuff I wear all the time in my outfit posts!) / turquoise and gold necklace / leather bracelet

There was a Polaroid station at the event. Dawn and I took a couple of photos. It was so much fun and reminded us of back in the day when we owned Polaroid cameras. I wonder if I still have mine stashed away somewhere?? haha

All in all, the party was so much fun! It was the beginning of our current heat wave, so I wanted to make sure I wore something comfortable. I decided to wear a lightweight, pale pink basic tee with my favorite floral wrap skirt. This skirt by the way, is on major sale! Here are my outfit details:

YSL lipstick / ivory earrings / pale pink tee (promo pricing-such a great deal!) / necklace c/o Kendra Scott / Kendra Scott cuff / nail polish / Chloe bag / floral wrap skirt (on major sale!!!) / black wedge espadrilles

Now, you might be wondering what I snapped up at the party? Maybe just a little? I purchased a pair of Elle earrings and a sparkling, rose gold bracelet. I earned the turquoise cuff as a gift with purchase and Kendra Scott also gifted me a nail polish and a rose gold Y-Necklace. You can see my new pieces in the scroll widget below. What is your current favorite piece by Kendra Scott for summer?

This past weekend my husband and my son went off to Cub Scout camp. This meant my two daughters and I had a weekend with just us girls! Can you say-Girls Weekend!!

Friday night we watched a movie and ate dinner at home. On Saturday, we did something the boys don’t like to do-we went shopping! I took the girls to Sino at Santana Row for Dim Sum, and we shopped around Santana Row. The weather was warm and summer-like, so it was a beautiful day to be walking around outside. While we were walking around, my cute little ten-year-old snapped these pictures for me. Isn’t she great!

Saturday evening we did some house-cleaning (so not glamorous), and watched another movie on TV. Super fun! On Sunday we went to church, did a Goodwill run, and ran a few errands. The rest of the day my older daughter had some volunteer work to do, and of course, homework! Ugh, cannot wait for school to be over!

All in all it was a quiet, family weekend with my girls. This easy breezy maxi skirt paired with a comfy tee worked perfectly for the hot weather, and hanging out with my daughters.

Are you getting out and enjoying this summer weather?

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
