Stacker Style: No Parking

Some days, it's just better in black. (And maybe a touch of leopard and gold, because why not?)

Baby, I'm Back

I know, I know. Where have I been, right? I've got to tell you guys the honest truth - the last couple of radio silent weeks, I mostly thought about how to continue my blog. I know. Don't get me wrong, it's not you (I love you guys) - it's me (hah!). I was lacking a bit of inspiration (which happens) and didn't want to keep going for the sake of just getting a post up. But, because I just can't quit you, here's a post, so you know I'm still alive and whatnot. I'm still figuring it all out and mostly just enjoying the slow snail pace of it all. Thanks for being patient with me while I get my creative juices flowing...

Lucy Paris

These days, my new favorite brand is Lucy Paris. When searching for some new 'fits for the office, I stumbled upon the brand after what felt like hourssss of shopping. After store after store of misses, I stopped into Bloomies (it was my last stop of the day) and tried on a couple tops and midi skirts and fell in love with the brand. Not only did the clothes fit me just right, but the price point was also right within my budget. I ended up walking out with a couple of new tops and skirts, and every now and then, I like to poke around the department for other gems to add to my closet.

Black and white, Striped Delight

Black and white, striped delight. That's what I'm calling this one. By now, everyone who works with me has seen me wear this outfit (or a variation of it) about fifty million times. But, what can I say? I like what I like. A classic, black and white, striped button-up - what's not to like? And, you can already guess where I got this beauty - LeTote. Pretty obsessed, I'd say. After realizing that a majority of my jeans were distressed and on the casual side, I decided to pick up the perfect dark wash from 7 For All Mankind. I love this pair because it hugs my curves, fits comfortably and works for the office and date night. Add the button up and jeans with a standard tote and heels and you've got yourself the perfect day to night ensemble.

Shear(ling) Genuis

It's starting to feel like fall around here and part of me doesn't mind it. I mean, when you get to wear comfy coats and shearling jackets (like this one!) how can you be mad? I've been wearing this combo non-stop - black pants, comfy booties and this plaid top (which you've seen before). But, now that it's getting chilly, I've added a new layer - this delicious chocolate brown, hooded shearling jacket.

Video: 30 Seconds with LeTote

And because my love for LeTote hath no end, how about another video? Here's a quick one where I styled a couple more of their pieces. This plaid button up now lives in my closet because I couldn't dare send it back. I'm sure by the time the year ends, half my closet will be filled with goodies I couldn't resist scooping up. Happy Friday, friends! 

Blue Angel

Fleet Week is without a doubt my favorite time of the year in San Francisco. I feel like the whole city waits for the sailors to come in town, rooftop soirees, and a whole weekend of nonstop BBQ's and sunshine. I took advantage of the warmth (hellooo 80 degrees!) and dressed in my best Blue Angels attire - this little number via LeTote. Thank goodness for LeTote, too. I was running out of clothes (laundry is my most hated chore) and wasn't sure if I'd have time to do a couple loads before go time. Luckily, my latest LeTote arrived just in time to provide me with this stunner. Now the inner debate on whether to send this piece back or keep it in my closet. Oh, LeTote - always tempting me.

When Life Hands You Lemons

I owe y'all a post (or two, or three). Do accept my apologies for being a bit of a slow poke around here. Last month was busy with new ventures and the beginning of this month slowed down as I somehow caught a bit of a bug. Luckily, I snapped a few outfit photos (albeit on my trustly iPhone) before I spent some time sick in bed. But you know what? When life hands you lemons, you wear that sh*t. Thankfully, LeTote prepared me for the occasion with this bright yellow JOA midi. Wore this out to a tasting dinner with ZICO for their new juices - more on that later. Paired the bright hue with an old closet fave, this ombre button-up from Crash & Burn. And believe it or not, made it through an eight hour+ day in my trust Zara heels. What a woman can't do in the right pair of shoes. Am I right?

Behind The Scenes: LeTote Video Shoot

Photos and Video by: Rob Schanz

Remember Monday's post where I said August was full of some super sweet stuff? Get ready for sweet stack number one. Last week, I had a chance to work with LeTote on a fun video project. It's been a while since I've done video, but boy, do I love it. We shot around Noe Valley (a neighborhood I need to revisit) and I styled a couple of looks from the new items in at LeTote, including the Rocky Vintage Ringer Tee (pictured above). I showed this video to my gal pal, Alyssa and she said, "I have never seen a video so true to anyone's real life." Videographer and photog, Rob Schanz basically captured my inner self - a foodie-loving and Instagram-aholic, smiling Stacker. Check out these photos from our shoot and be sure to press play when you get to the video!

Yes Way, Crochet

Black and white and crochet times two. Sometimes the best summer staples are the simplest ones. I've been pretty obsessed with my LeTote subscription - this is only my second tote, but the goodies in them are always right on point. This black crochet top is no exception. It was the perfect compliment to my new white crochet skirt that I picked up from Zara. Wore this number to that delicious, delicious taco dinner with Melissa! 

Just Another Coffee Critter

Snapped some quick outfit photos with my trusty iPhone (hey, don't judge now...) this past weekend. This outfit kind of just came together in five minutes or less (which almost never happens), and I actually quite love the result. A basic black button-up, paired with distressed denim, and a play of prints = instant success. Am I right? I scooped up these sandals last weekend and they're basically the closest I will get to Birkenstocks, I think. Not only are they ever-so-adorable, but they're comfortable as hell. Feels like my feet are walking on clouds. For outfit deets and more quick pics, click below.

Hello, Hayes Valley

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of working with Bay Area-based photographer, Mawiyah Johnson. We shot in my favorite neighborhood in the city, Hayes Valley, and it was the perfect Saturday afternoon. The sun was shining, a cute little neighborhood party was taking place, and once we were done snapping photos, I got to spend some time all to myself in Patricia's Green, with a latte in hand. Even though I shoot in Hayes time and time again, I'm always so excited to see the different ways different photographers capture the same spots.

LeTote'in Around Town

I don't usually post outfit photos on Friday, but if we're being honest over here, it's Thursday night, I just got home from the Academy of Art fashion show (which, by the way, was amazing and I can't wait to share the event recap post with you next week!), and I'm tired. I'd love to stay up and share my usual Food Friday or Beauty Bites post, but alas, I don't think I can whip up what I'd like before my bed time. (And just so you know, it's past 10 and already wayyy past my bed time, ha.) So, I hope you'll forgive me and will enjoy an extra serving of Stacker Style this week.
