outfit: topshop x nordstrom

i just got back from a very quick weekend trip to san francisco and probably the last trip i will take for some months now that the baby is so close to being here! it was a nice opportunity to visit with a few of my bay area friends and of course, i had a blast hosting an event to celebrate the launch of topshop x nordstrom at the san francisco center. i’ve long been a fan of topshop and have spent many hours browsing through their online shop admiring their cool uk offerings, but i’d never had an opportunity to actually see the clothes in real life here on the west coast, so it’s pretty exciting to see that the retailer has finally expanded into the u.s. market with these cool shop-in-shops as a new permanent fixture in nordstrom department stores and online. and i finally got to try on a few pieces for size, and am drooling over their fall offerings, lots of fuzzy sweaters and soft oversized coats!

citrus summer

i know i don’t usually wear a ton of bright colors in my typical outfits, but i have a little secret: yellow and orange are easily two of my favorite colors. and while i’m not necessarily going to get decked out in a bright lemon yellow or peachy sherbet tone any time soon, i definitely plan to sprinkle them in among my summer accessories for a little pop of color. so when nordstrom and polyvore asked me if i’d like to share my summer must-have accessories wishlist, i made a beeline for my favorite citrus hue.
