Hey There, Stud





Hey There, Studs! First off, I am so sorry I have been MIA these past 2 weeks. I just began my junior year of college as a journalism major, a new internship with Sacramento Fashion Week, and just finished sorority recruitment that I put on for my university's campus. But I am back and ready to dive into all of fall's latest fashions! I have been so lucky to get the opportunity to collaborate on a few outfits with my sorority sister, who is also an amazing photographer, Juliana Ljubisavljevic. She is so talented and can capture any moment beautifully! If you are ever looking for photographer, she is definitely my first recommendation. Take a look at her blog showcasing her work: http://julianaljubisavljevic.tumblr.com/.

This week's blog post is centered around studs and embellishments. Since it is officially fall now, I put together this outfit to showcase one of this season's hottest trends. Pair the two together for a mix of edge and girly all in one outfit!

Love, Kate

A Little Slice of Heaven in Midtown: HEART Boutique









          My first assignment for my internship as a writer for Sacramento Fashion Week was to interview a boutique owner, so of course my mind went straight to my favorite little slice of heaven in Midtown Sacramento-- HEART. I got to chat with owner, Vanessa Lopez, about the latest fall trends and how her boutique plays a role in Sacramento's fashion industry.

Love, Kate: What inspired you to open up a boutique?
Vanessa Lopez: I was always into fashion and had worked in retail and other boutiques for a number of years. When one boutique closed, I missed being around it so I opened my own.  I have a passion for working with local people. 

LK: What audience does Heart cater towards?
VL: Trendy females who are ahead of the curve. Our age range usually is 19-35 years old. 

LK: What are your favorite upcoming fall trends?
VL: Embellishment and Green military jackets are always a staple.

LK: Do you think Sacramento can ever compete with bigger cities and be known as a "fashion capital"?
VL: Sacramento has smaller numbers than bigger cities but I think we can. There are very fashionable people living in Sacramento.

LK: How would you describe Sacramento's fashion "style"?
VL: Casual Cool.

LK: How does Heart contribute to Sacramento's growing fashion industry?
VL: By providing new fashion trends at affordable prices.

If you are ever looking for a trendy outfit to wear or a chic piece to update your closet with, Heart is the first place that should be on your list. You can find it at 1903 Capital Avenue in Midtown Sacramento.


Love, Kate

Labor Day Love





I'm sorry I have been so MIA this week! I left for beautiful Rancho Palos Verdes, CA on Thursday morning to be a bridesmaid in my good friend's wedding. The whole weekend was gorgeous and I could not have imagined any other way for the two of them to have a wedding. I only have one picture of what I wore to her rehearsal and rehearsal dinner (with all the events, I didn't have much time to take pictures!). It is a Dorothy Perkins dress paired with a $5 clutch I found at TJ MAXX. I love the lace trim on the bottom hem of the dress! This ensemble is definitely one of my favorites. I hope everyone had a safe & happy labor day weekend!
