Chic Wild & Free in Floral Heels

It has been super sunny here in San Diego and nothing says Spring and Summer like a pair of floral heels! These are a unique piece to add to your wardrobe this Season. Whether it's a bold floral pump or feminine floral sandal!  

There are so many ways to wear a pair of floral heels. Whether you decide to pair them with a dress, or skirt and blazer. I decided to go with these scalloped chiffon shorts, graphic tee, and jacket. 

The relaxed fit of a graphic tee balances out the short hemline of a skirt or in this case, these chiffon shorts. (Plus, I love the color of this shirt, duh, mint!) The floral heels add a feminine touch to my whole look. 

Being that I'm here in San Diego and the warmer months are soon approaching it only makes sense that I love to explore every avenue of shorts. I love the idea of dressier shorts. Because honestly, here in San Diego, it's necessary. Sometimes it's too hot to wear pants but you're not in the mood to wear a dress. These chiffon shorts are a great compromise. I love the scalloped edges on the shorts, definitely makes them look more feminine and dressy. 

I'm in love with this structured jacket from the fit to the color. This is one of my favorite purchases from Zara recently. It's so versatile and definitely a closet staple. It can be thrown on with pair of jeans and tank or worn with a skirt and crop top. 

I love the ultra feminine silhouette of the heels. A beautiful but more subtle way to incorporate a floral shoe into your wardrobe. A little less bold than a floral pump but, makes a statement nonetheless.

Polka Dots At The Vineyard

This was such a fun day! Finally getting a chance to blog about it. I took a little day trip up North last month with my mom and sister to the Vineyards. It was the perfect warm day with a slight breeze. I decided to go with a pair of polka dot skinnies, neutral top and wedges, and a pop of yellow with this beautiful structured handbag. 

I had been wanting a pair of polka dot skinnies for awhile now. We've been seeing these babies everywhere. Celebrities have been rockin' polka dot denim like crazy! From Gwen Stefani, to Jessica Alba. So, naturally when I came across these on NastyGal, it was a match made in heaven. 

I threw on some turquoise/mint accessories. As you can see I'm having a love affair with mint at the moment. Mirrored Sunnies are very in right now and I chose to go with a classic aviator! I will be selling these on my Poshmark soon!

This season is all about structured bags. A structured handbag can really pull together your entire look. I love a bright yellow accessory and the gold accents on this handbag are beautiful as well.  

I'm usually all about heels but with all the walking I ended up doing I'm glad I decided to go with a more practical wedge. This is a great neutral wedge with a little snakeskin flair by BCBG.

Stolen From The Boys: Boyfriend Jeans

Hey loves! About time I get back on the grind! I've had such a busy few months from moving, to my Poshmark party! I'm so relieved to finally get a chance to sit down and update my poor blog I've been neglecting. If you've followed me recently, I apologize if I haven't followed you back yet! Please leave me a comment so I can follow your blog! I have a couple posts I meant to post last month. This is one of them. I've been living in this sweater! 

Although I'm all about fashion, I'm also all about comfort. One of the many reasons I'm obsessed with boyfriend jeans. So comfy but chic paired with some knockout heels! This is one of my many pairs of boyfriend jeans. The light wash and distressed look makes it the perfect jean to wear casually, and you can always add a little flare with a bright or pattern top! 

I was on the hunt for a neon pink sweater for awhile there. I fell in love with the neon pink J. Crew sweater but I was hoping to spend a little less than $200- $300. So, after searching around for a little I came across this similar sweater at Forever 21. This is the perfect sweater to transition into Spring. It's lightweight and the color is obviously amazing. 

I threw on these fun heels to make this super girly chic combo. You could definitely make this sweater the star of the show by wearing a solid neutral sandal or heel. I am loving mint right now so I went with a mint wallet/clutch and mint bangles. Again, you could play up the sweater by doing a neutral handbag and gold bracelets instead.

San Diego Sunshine Style Posh Party!

Us girls have a reputation for being shop-a-holic's and maybe there is some truth to that. I'm not siding with the guys here but, if you think about it, we have a reason for shopping regardless of the situation. Special occasion, we have to go shopping. Event, we have to go shopping. Stain our favorite jeans, we have to go shopping. Vacation, we have to go shopping. Bad day? You better believe we're going shopping! So, it's pretty clear, we like to shop. And most of us, like to get a good deal. Now, what happens once our closet is overflowing with stuff that's too nice to get rid of but, let's be honest, we'll probably never wear again? I came to this crossroads about five months ago where, I'm not kidding, you could not fit one more hanger in my closet. Or box of shoes, for that matter. It was getting to be hazardous territory and of course, I was still shopping!

I was told about an APP Poshmark from one of my favorite blogger's and lovely friend Naty Michele of A Love Affair With Fashion. She told me how easy it was to use and how she started selling her stuff right away! So, I downloaded it and found it was extremely easy to use. Just snap a photo of the item you would like to sell, write a quick description, price it, and you're good to go. I was obsessed instantly. It has been an amazing tool for me. I have made so much space in my closet and I'm probably one of the biggest Poshmark promoters and enthusiasts out there. I got just about every one of my friends to use it also. You can shop on the app or online. I use the app on my iPad, as well. 

I hosted my first Posh Party a few months back and had a blast. It is amazing the great finds I have come across. You can find designer items brand new, or in virtually perfect condition, for great prices. If you haven't joined Poshmark yet, YOU BETTER! Come shop my closet and use my invitation code HGDLY to earn a $5 credit when you sign up! Here's a quick look at just a few of the many items I have listed for sale right now in my poshmark closet. Link is on the top of my blog or you can search me: Bossy Jocey!

I'm so excited to be hosting my second Posh Party right here in my city, San Diego! The "Sunshine Style" San Diego Posh Party! I would love to see you all there and meet you! Come posh it up with me my other co-hosts Paulina of lilbitsofchic, Vanessa Balli of OOTD, and Kelly of Messy Dirty Hair this Weds. May 8th at the W! If you're not here in San Diego, join me (virtually) to shop our TOP PICK'S from fellow fashionista's Poshmark closets!

Hot Pink Valentine

    Hello loves! It is the first of February, and you know what that means, that lovey dovey Holiday is right around the corner. Time to start planning our outfits now, whether you have a hot date or, are going out with some friends! This is my take on a cute and casual, Valentine's Day date. I collaborated with three other amazing bloggers to give you guys a few different ideas on what you can do. ;)

    My look is pretty casual and could be worn on a nice Day Date or Brunch. I love the opportunity to get girly so, why not go all out with this adorable quilted heart cross body bag! I made it fun with the sequin perfume top and neon pink strap sandals. I love the femininity of doing a lace dress, skirt, or short as well. And it's a very simple way to make an ensemble look more dressed up or romantic. 

Blazer: H&M

Top: LA Boutique

Shorts: H&M

Bracelets: Aldo

Sandals: Forever 21

Crossbody: Forever 21

Here are three others ways to do Valentine's Day! Check out these lovely ladies blogs for more details!

Arleene is rockin this hot pink cut out shirt, skirt, and pumps! She's my fun and flirty Valentine!

Pop Of Neon

   Hey guys! It's been awhile since I've had a chance to update and I'm so excited I finally am! I also have quite a few more posts in store for the Month of February so stay tuned for those! About time I stop slacking off. I've been so busy with the holidays and family life. I've also been poshing it up on PoshMark. If you haven't had a chance to shop my closet please do! I am having a blast on there and actually have the opportunity to host my own virtual posh party tomorrow! I am totally geeked about that. If you have not downloaded the app, please do, or you can also shop from your desktop! 

   Now on to my outfit. I've been having the blues lately with all this Winter weather. Or maybe I should say the Navy Blues, Blacks, and Greys. I was excited for it but now I've had enough. I'm ready to brighten it up with some color for Spring and Summer. I decided, why wait? Who said you have to wait until winter is over to rock some neon?

    With a more casual ensemble like this, it is always best to give it some character with accessories. The most simple jean and tee outfit can be transformed into something so fashion forward with just the right accessories. I chose this Gold Spike Necklace from Forever21 to keep it kinda edgy. 

    Here are today's accessories. Mix up the simple black clutch by choosing something texturized or a snake print. The texture is a lot more appealing to the eye. A black clutch is definitely a closet staple. This one is a bargain from Forever 21, however, I wouldn't mind spending more on an item like this because it's something than can be used over and over, in so many different ways. My chain wrap bracelet was a Christmas gift from one of my friends. It is from C Wonder. They have a lot of really nice accessories. If you haven't shopped C Wonder yet, I certainly recommend. 

    A shoe can most definitely, make the outfit. With this type of otherwise, casual ensemble, they definitely do. You can go from day to night by just switching from a casual sneaker or flat, to a pump or single sole strappy sandal. Now, I love platforms and pumps as much as the next girl but, I have recently seen the light when it comes to single soled heels. We have all been seeing them everywhere with every major designer. There is something very natural and feminine about a woman in a single sole heel rather than a platform. When you want to add some sex appeal to an outfit, try reaching for the single sole heel rather than that overly sexy platform. You might be surprised with how much you like it. 

    When it comes to neon, a nice pop is all you need. No need to overdo it with neon everything. I absolutely love these jeans. I purchased them last year from PacSun so, unfortunaetly they're no longer available but, I have put together a few similar options for you guys. Here are my other top picks!

    A leather jacket is another great staple piece. I got this jacket from Bebe and have another similar one from Express. I would definitely be willing to spend more on a piece like this because you'll get so much wear out of it. It is such an effortless way to make an outfit look completely put together.
