I have seriously been getting so much wear out of these Chooka rain flats. I don't even save them for days when it's raining. What I love most about them is that they can be worn in so many different ways and for so many different occasions, and you'll always be prepared for whatever weather comes your way. 

Phew, it's Friday! Thank goodness, am I right? ;) This week was a long one for some reason, so I'm welcoming in the weekend with open arms. We're laying low tonight, but then my mom gets here tomorrow for the weekend. She's coming for a concert on Monday and decided to make a weekend out of it. We'll be staying up in San Francisco all weekend, which I'm super excited about. I haven't spent as much time in the city as I'd like because getting there is kind of a hassle, so it'll be nice to have a whole weekend to explore SF. Whatever you're doing I hope it's amazing!

If you're a long time blog reader, then you may know how much I love the brand Chooka. I bought my first pair of duck skimmers in bright yellow before studying abroad in London in 2013. They were a godsend in London! They are honestly the shoes that I get complimented on the most, because they're cute and practical. You can see my last post featuring them here! I wore the yellow pair to death and was so excited to receive this new pair from Chooka! The black will definitely go with everything and be perfect for the coming seasons. I  highly recommend!

Hope your week is going well :)

This is a super simple outfit that I wore over the weekend for brunch when it was very rainy and windy (I was lucky to get these pictures taken). I think that trench coats are the secret to looking pulled together. A trench automatically takes whatever you're wearing up a notch and polishes it off. This is the trench coat I was just telling you guys about that I wore every day in London and am so sick of. I still wear it a ton though because it goes with everything and makes me feel like I've got it together. On a totally unrelated note, I'm so excited it's warm enough for distressed denim again! I wore this pair every day this weekend because I love them so much and I can't wear them during the week to work, so I have to get my fix on the weekend.

Anyways, my weekend was jam-packed. I spent basically the whole weekend with friends. I would say that's pretty much my definition of a perfect weekend!
