Winter Fashion

The chilly weather makes keeping warm a necessity, but there's no reason why you can't be stylish while doing so. Inspired by my favorite drink during the winter, I pulled some items to create a "sweet blend" of light to dark. Classic red nails and lips offer a pop of color to pull the whole look together. Search your current wardrobe to find some similar pieces before you splurge on anything new. Whether you go all light or all dark, you can't go wrong with this earth tone palette, it's perfect any time of the year.

Fall Flannel

I just love the crisp, chilly weather. It's finally feeling like fall in California, and I'm feeling inspired!

Earthy tones are always a hit with mother nature as your backdrop.
Look structured, yet, easy going in this collaboration of leather and hardware pieces over a simple,
button down flannel dress.

Michael Kors Beauty Loot

New York fashion week may have come to an end, but the residual impression of iconic designers lingers on, and I was lucky enough to snag a few pieces from the Michael Kors beauty line. 

Feast your eyes on these beauties!  

First on the list, matte bronzers in Beam, Glow and Flush, which range from a soft hue for pale skin, to a deeper shade mixed with flecks of gold (of course) for ultra glam. 

Each bronzer comes in a large gold palette and retails for $50 each. I know it sounds like a lot, but look at the size of these things: my hand can barely hold it. 

So fabulous! These are everything.

The Bronze Powder Brush has a structured base that's easy to grip and packed bristles that are soft to the touch. 

Now, let's talk perfume. The new Gold line has me swooning. Ranging from 1.0, 1.7 and 3.4 ounces, you have your choice of 24K Brilliant Gold, White Luminous Gold, or Rose Radiant Gold. 

Out of the three, my favorite is the Rose Radiant. Due to its sweeter and lighter notes of florals and light musk combination, I can see myself wearing this scent on glam outings or special date nights. 

If you like a stronger scent of wood notes, mandarins and florals, the 24K Gold is for you. If you're the type of woman that wants to feel like you're swimming in your aroma, the more pungent notes of amber, jasmine and pear in the White Luminous is all you, girl. Work it! 

Whatever you decide, I don't think you'll be disappointed, I certainly wasn't. The packaging is so chic and structured, just like all MK designs.  I'm a big fan of these pieces, and was over the moon with all the GOLD! Then again, I believe everything should be made of gold. What can I say? I have expensive taste.

Enjoy! 

Coachella Bella

I may not be going to Coachella, but if I were, this is what I would wear.

Simple and light, free flowing yet classy and undeniably sexy.
To all those already out there or on their way, drive safe and enjoy the weekend!

Just don't forget your sunscreen! ;)

HAPPY FRIDAY Y'ALL!

okay, so I might not be Southern, nor a little bit county, but I am a bit rock 'n' roll. My favorite season is upon us and I am thrilled with the cooler weather we Calis are experiencing and I've brought it upon myself to adorn my outfit with the ultimate blue scarf and proudly stomp around the office in my favorite  pair of Uggs.  And let me just tell you, people (coworkers) are taking notice.

 

 In fact, one guy complimented my scarf, another mentioned the chilly temperatures and one delighted in the fact that she "couldn't wait to dust off her boots and prepare them for next week's outfit."  So what does that tell you? It tells you that everyone loves the FALL!!!  

 

Get ready because this season's must have staple is a chunky knit!

 

Whether it's an awesomely over sized sweater (preferably), a knitted scarf (duh!) or a tribal designed or loosely fitting beanie (of course!) all items are well received.

 

My favorite pairing:

Like the simple basics of the summer (think white tee with loose fit jeans), a chunky sweater can be just as versatile, but opt for skinny or boot cut jeans in this case, as loose fitting can make you seem like a pile of puddin' and not the delicious looking kind.

 

Accessorize with what else?

Gold Hoops! small ones, medium ones or large will do. If you're a bit edgy, go for the ones that have wording in them.  Want more elegance? Choose a simple clear/white diamond/rhinestone stud or pearl. This look is sweet and understated to complement a bulky sweater and frame-fitting jeans.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

Shoes and handbags should be chosen dependent upon your plans for the day AND your style. If you're a relaxed girl who is looking to be laid back, lace up your favorite converse. Got a party-rocker persona? Step into your snakeskin booties. Looking to show off your butt or legs? Slide on your tall boots with the heels. You know which ones I'm talking about you sex-kitten, you.

 

Others

What about the hair? The make up? The...... guuuurrrrllll, take a deep breath. I'm just helping you with your outfit today, but with the right attitude  you've got the rest under control. I can just feel it in my chilly bones. Take a look at yourself in the mirror and repeat after me. "I am such a bad ass!"  See? instant boom!

 

Have a cozy rest of your day!
