I'm so darn peppy for peplum these days! Peplum skirts, tops, dresses... I want everything to have a peppy peplum detail on it!

Took these pics in the Mission before heading out to celebrate my Birthday!!!!!!!!

I LOVE this dress so much I bought it in two colors-- it is so comfy in the stretchy knit fabrication and love how it fits. To contrast the red/purple and spice things up I went for yellow accessories, and the combo turned out really fun and sort of reminds me of a Comic book with cartoon colors. I'll pretend I'm Super Woman b/c who the hell doesn't feel like Super Woman after their birthday?

Sequin Stripes, pops of Mint and candy colored tweed sure are fresh and delicious for a feminine and Summery palette.

Simple. Casual. Practical.

That is how I would describe this look.

Loving the printed denim trend, and of course couldn't pass up some denim with dots.

Don't you love my tippy toes?

Loving the Retro/Varsity/Collegiate looks going on right now for Summer and Fall.

All American fresh is always a good look.

And how cute is this Letterman jacket from Forever 21 with the leopard lining? ...and it was on a Buy One Get One Free promo so I bought my sister one too of course!

I have been loving Spring and the color combos that come to mind when thinking of the adventure this season resembles.

Love the bright, the color, the pastel and the print trends going on right now for Spring and Summer. Pairing a refreshing blend of citrus hues definitely got me in the mood for sunshine on a cold San Francisco day (notice the goose bumps in the detail shot?).

Since the minimalist in me pretty much doesn't exist (at all), I have a hard time committing completely to one monochromatic color palette--hence my multi colored belt and 80s Vintage crazy colored print purse.

What are your favorite trends for Summer right now?
