Did I mention I’m of the “if we build it, it will come” mentality when it comes to fall? Well, I am. And this week has me longing for cooler temps–and all of the fashion that comes with them. It did rain by my mom so I was inspired to put on this fall(ish) dress and booties. Because if we wear outfits like this enough, it will change to fall. Right?
Happy Friday! XO RA

It’s a thing we’re doing.
I know, it’s hot and the last thing on your mind is what to wear this fall–you’re trying to get through today! However, fall is fast approaching, and I’m of the “if we build it, it will come” school of thought–so maybe if we all concentrate on fall trends it will get cooler? If nothing else we will be prepared!
Fringe has been on and off the shelves for the past few seasons, but take a look in any magazine or on any fall runway–this is the season to truly rock it. And here’s the thing–Fringe is fun and easy! It’s an instant statement piece, provides movement, and most importantly is fun! This skirt I got on Etsy last season, the bags are vintage, and I plan on buying these Sam Edelman stunners. Shop below for some of my fave fringe picks!
And I’d love to know–are you planning on rocking this trend?
Happy Wednesday!

We’re smack in the dog days of summer–I’m dreaming of fall clothes, but ya’ll it’s hot. Which can make outfit planning difficult, to say the least. To try and satisfy my longing for cooler weather, and the reality of the blazing heat I’ve been living in outfits like this–shorts and some sort of a jacket (preferably short sleeved) worn as a shirt. I love that it feels just so slightly safari (without the commitment to green and utility) and allows me to feel pulled together and chic–and most importantly, it lets me (somewhat) keep my cool.
Happy Monday! XO RA

If you’ve been following me on Instagram (@racheladelicia) you know that my sister and I have been on a road trip. We went from LA to TX, and I cannot tell you how beautiful the Southwest is, every day was a treat in terms of landscapes! And I couldn’t help but be inspired, the background was just too colorful! Many thanks to my sister for getting up early to take these pictures! And pro tip–even in the desert black tie works!

I wasn’t in to scarves till a few years ago–now I can’t get enough. Around my wrist, neck, as an accent–sign me up! And these Equipment ones in collaboration with Garance Dore (an amazing blogger and illustrator if you don’t follow her already!) are just to die for. I plan on framing the face one, and have loved using the lips one for everything from a neck tie to an accent on my bags. They add a sense of whimsy to my outfit–and who can’t use whimsy in the middle of the week!
Hope your Wednesday is amazing! XO RA

There’s something about a great summer dress than can make any day amazing. This vintage shirt dress is one of those–in a great summer nude- is no exception! It can be dressed up or dressed down and is perfect for summer. Pairing it with a nude shoe made it simply lady like. Which is fitting for Monday!
Hope you’re having a great Monday and don’t forget to follow my road trip on Instagram @racheladelicia, hashtag #R&Rroadtrip! XO RA

You guys, these vintage Armani pants. Simply gorgeous.They are the best of the 1990s. Pleats, draping, sequins–and the lining itself is a dream. I’ve dressed them up and down and all I can say is they make me feel like a 90s Supermodel! I found them at recessla – I highly recommend them for your vintage needs!

All over the runways lately many celebs have been seen wearing dresses that are -for lack of a better word-naked. I know people have opinions on what is too much–I would argue the red carpet is a world all its own and as long as the dress is worn well it’s not a bad thing. However, most of us don’t live on the red carpet–so is this a trend you should shy away from? Nope. With a slip you can give the illusion of naked, while keeping everything more than covered; and yet you can feel like a star. Interested in more sheer, check This post.

For the record I did put a nude slip under as to not feel super naked. Of course that is up to you! And I’m tall so it may hit you differently!

There are some outfits that just make you feel a certain way–for me, this dress made me feel like a ’50s bombshell! I’m loving all the bare shoulders this summer; it’s sexy yet understated, and makes any outfit feel special.
