BKR Visit & Tote Challenge OOTD #2

Day 2 in San Francisco was super busy! We did tons of sight seeing but not before we went  to visit the BKR office. You may ask what is BKR? BKR is the luxe water bottle that will change the way you hydrate forever!

Founders Kate and Tal met and became friends in law school. They had successful careers as lawyers but decided to recreate their lives when they saw a need in the most basic element of the beauty industry, HYDRATION! Being hydrated is so important when it comes to beauty because it shows from the inside out. Here were two fabulous, healthy, beautiful, successful women who felt like every time they went to drink water, they were drinking from trash. They wanted to create something more healthy, sustainable and fashion forward for the woman that is cultured and wants it all. Everything in your life can  be beautiful, even your water bottle.

My sister and I were greeted by BKR’s social media director Max. He welcomed us and made us feel at home right away. The BKR office is a very beautiful, bright space with tons of natural light coming through all of the large windows. From the lunch area to the conference room, every area is a dedicated space. I got to say hello to the team and I even met a BKR team member from Louisiana. It was so cool to get an inside look at all the awesome things going on behind the scenes and view some exclusive silicone sleeve colors. I honestly could have wandered around and hung out there forever.

Over the past year I’ve been adapting my shopping habits to say no to a “disposable” lifestyle when it comes to fashion trends. I don’t need to have a bunch of things and follow every trend. I just need quality items that I love. From the clothing I choose to purchase to my water bottle, having the essentials and only acquiring pieces that I adore has proved to be so rewarding. Now that I have added BKR to the equation I feel a sense of completion.

I can not thank Kate, Tal and Max enough for welcoming me into their beautiful work space! It was great to see the team behind the beauty essential BKR.

 

 

Let’s talk OOTD. On day 2 I chose my horizontal striped dress/tunic and paired it with black leggings. Of course white chucks and my green cargo jacket were there too! Oh yeah, lets talk a bout the orange scarf! It was windy in SF and I didn’t bring a scarf so I thrifted this Banana Republic scarf in the Mission District. Great find right?!

After we left the BKR office we stopped by Marlowe for some mouth watering lunch. Next up was Lombard to check out San Francisco’s “crookedest” street. It was beautiful to witness and we even made the trek up to the top to see the amazing view!

We attempted to ride a trolly but the line was so long that we didn’t want to wait. Instead we went back to Fisherman’s Wharf for the views, fresh seafood and more freshly baked donuts from Trish’s. Join me tomorrow for another OOTD and day 3 in San Francisco, Enjoy! 

  


OTK Fun!

The highlight of this OOTD is the OTK (over the knee) socks! You don’t have to worry about otk boots falling down but otk socks is another story. There’s no in between with them. They are either so tight that they’re cutting off your circulation or falling down to your ankles every 5 minutes.

Well…problem solved! These are tights with the otk socks attached to the bottom half. They go on and up to your waist like pantyhose so they provide a bit more coverage when you’re wearing a shorter skirt or if it’s windy outside. Are you in love yet?!?! Get the details below:-) Enjoy!

OOTD Warm Colors

The colors in this OOTD remind me of fire and make me feel warm just by looking at them. This OOTD is so awesome for Houston’s inconsistent weather. On an especially cold morning layer up a cami, t-shirt, plaid flannel, and top it off with  a heavier jacket (maybe a moto) and peel them off as the day warms up. Even if you get so warm that you end up in a cami, you’ll still be casually cute. Enjoy!

Comfy Thanksgiving OOTD

It’s Turkey day and you need to look presentable around your family and friends. Let’s face it, all we really care about is having loose pants so that we can scarf down a real Thanksgiving feast. Lol This OOTD is just perfect for making your holiday rounds. 

You’ve seen me match this sweater with other pieces from my capsule wardrobe in another OOTD before. (Any dark sweater in your closet will do) Today it’s paired with boyfriend jeans that are naturally oversized and loose. This will be perfect for eating way too much and taking a nap once you’re in a food coma. (Ha ha) Leopard ballet flats and your favorite brown or black bag will tie the look together. Enjoy!

OOTD| T-shirt Dress

Yes it’s officially fall and the air is finally cool but this is Houston. That means you never know when it could possibly be 75-80 degrees with out much notice. This ootd is minimal and simple(my two favorite things ? ) and is super easy for a random warm Houston day. Take a t-shirt dress, and layer it with a denim/chambray shirt or even a denim jacket. For shoes you can go with ballet flats or even sneakers if you plan on being on the go. Enjoy!
