Video: Spec Commercial

Hey guys! Just wanted to share with you a spec video I was able to style a few months back. The inspiration was an Urban Outfitters feel, on the beach. 

Enjoy!

Anyways- I'm off to Tahoe for my Birthday this weekend- so I'll see you all Sunday night! Have a great weekend!

Blanket Like

As much as I love layering, and bundling up for cooler weather, sometimes it can get suffocating. Wearing multiple layers day in and day out is not always ideal for different environments you have to endure, like an over packed, heated MUNI bus. So, if there is an item that can serve as a single, super warm layer, that is just as stylish, I am all about it. Leather sleeves and a thick over size knit, yes please!

Book Review: Fashion Jewelry

Laurence King Publishing was kind enough to send me Fashion Jewelry Catwalk And Couture by Maia Adams, and I have to say, if you're a lover of all things jewelry, this book is for you. The book is filled with amazing images of all sorts of designer jewelry, and has inspirational quotes throughout. It's been a fun and easy read, and an great guide to fun pieces to incorporate into your collection. I highly recommend checking this one out!

Vintage Love

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you all had a lovely, and long weekend! I went home for a few days, and it ended far too quickly.

This jacket was an early b-day gift from my mom, and I couldn't be happier. It's made of vintage fabrics, and is a total standout piece. Of course I had to showcase it by pairing it with jeans, a neutral tank, and black, structural pumps. The gold collar necklace played off the tribal vibe of the jacket just enough for a little accent.

Trend Spotting: Embellishments

Now that the Holidays are in full swing, finding simple pieces with a little embellished details will take your outfits much further during your holiday rounds. Some sparkle on a heel or collar will add that extra touch, and you'll standout among the ugly xmas sweaters ;)

Paisley

Sometimes, when I throw random things on together, it just happens to turn into an outfit I really like! Today turned out to be one of those days. I really do believe that the piece that is working overtime to pull it all together is the blue oxford. It sharpens the oversized jacket, and highlights the colors in the skirt, while adding a professional element that ties in the loafers. Don't you love pieces that can do so much to a look?? I do!

Birthday Wishes

Well, I'm turning 24 at the end of the month, so I decided to share the list of items I'm currently coveting for my birthday. Fashion meets functions with this list, and if I were to wake up to one of these all wrapped up for me, I'd flip! The leopard coat by By Malene Birger is phenomenal, and exactly what I've been holding out for. The Mars booties by Rachel Comey are a closet staple, and I need new black booties in my arsenal. The Marc by Marc Jacobs bag has been mentioned quite a few times here, but can you blame me? It's timeless! The Dannijo necklace is the ultimate statement necklace that I'd wear with anything, from a crappy tee to a red-carpet gown. I desperately need a new camera, so why  not invest in this Nikon DSLR to meet all my photo needs (blog included)? And finally... my 5 year old MacBook is beginning to show signs of aging :( so it's about time for an upgrade.

And of course, the most important wish is to have another healthy, happy, and productive year, with all my loved ones in tow <3

Cruella

Never would I have thought I would wear a faux fur vest, but then again, there's a first for everything. When this pretty little number landed in my lap at work, I decided that in true blogger fashion, I had to try it and make it work. So, I came up with this outfit. While I definitely liked it, and see how cozy and warm furry vests can be, I did feel a bit Cruella DeVille a la 101 Dalmatians in it. Maybe next time I'll try some color to help with that ;)

Trend-Spotting: Cable Knit/ Fisherman Sweaters

'Tis the season for warm cozy knits, so this week's edition of trend-spotting, I decided to put a spotlight on this chunky sweater. It's not necessarily a trend, as it is a staple, but lately I've been seeing them dressed up in such unique ways, that I can't help but want to invest in more to have an arsenal. What do you think of chunky cable knit sweaters? Can they be as trendy as they are warm?

Past Favorites

I can't believe that I've been posting for over a year now. This little space, of personal style growth has turned into something that I couldn't have imagined, and I want to thank you all for stopping by everyday, and leaving such thoughtful comments. I'm truly lucky. 

So, I thought I would share some of my recent favorite looks and details, and once my camera is up and running, I can't wait to add more to this collection :)
