THINGS ARE POPPIN' UP!

Last month Calypte Collection had the opportunity to partner with XCVI Fashion in their Thousand Oaks pop-up.  XCVI is a beautiful clothing line with a Boho Chic esthetic. Several of the Bohemian Chic pieces of the CC jewelry line where available along with several other talented local artisans.

 The pop-up was such a success that CC is heading up north with XCVI to Santa Barbara at the new pop-up location! I'm so excited to have the jewelry line in SB, a beautiful artsy beach town, where the sun shines 300 days a year!

Go check out the XCVI shop which is now open through December 30th!

FALL FASHION INSPIRATION

Even though it's technically Fall, here in Southern Cali it is still soooo hot. I've been itching for the weather to cool so I can wear warm cozy sweaters, boots, and jewel tones. While I wait, I've been collecting outfit ideas that are cool enough for summer but can easily be transformed for warmer weather. Here are a few of my favorites outfits and accesories for the season. Enjoy!

My weekend adventure...What did you guys do?

Marathon shopping at Nordstrom Rack for a new wardrobe.  I was there for 5 hours!! I bought a TON of great pieces, which I'll share more on later.

Toured the farmers market with the boys (Koa & Jasper). I love going to the farmers every weekend.  I'm a big fan of buying locally especially when it comes to produce.  Organic makes it even better!
