Fall Vibes

November 21, 2016

There are a few things for me that give off those quintessential fall vibes… Colors of mustard, burgundy, and cognac; nubby textures of corduroy, soft knits in the form of open cardigans, scarves and slouchy caps; knee-high boots to keep out the new chill in the air. It’s finally starting to look like we can begin wearing these items in southern California! It’s actually been raining on and off today, which, totally random side note, makes people in my area drive soooooo slow. Like 10 under the speed limit slow, I was almost late to work today!
If you happened to read my latest Stitch Fix review, you may have seen that these corduroy pants were not exactly love at first sight, that was until I tried them on. They’re so soft, provide a whole lot of warmth, and the color is much more versatile than I initially thought it would be.
I’d love to know, what are your fall staples?

Fall Ready with Perfectly Priscilla

November 21, 2016

Hello loves!
Dare I say it, autumn has arrived! There has been a noticeable (20 degrees or so) drop in the past few days, and I’m digging it. One of my favorite fall accessories, and one of the most versatile, is a scarf! From a gauzy layer to add texture, or a plaid blanket version to add warmth and coziness, even a sparkly wrap to wear for a night out. I’m particularly fond of blanket scarves, because they can be wrapped around your neck in a traditional way, or draped across your shoulders like an actual blanket while still looking cute. I love searching for ones that have a bunch of different colors woven in, so that I can pair them with more options already in my closet. This variation includes shades of plum, ivory, navy, rust and mustard. I could totally pair it with the mustard Zara cardi I purchased recently; a navy blouse and jeans; a black top and rust skirt, so many possibilities! Perfectly Priscilla also offers another style with lovely shades of grey, pale purple and green, great for pairing with pastels or grey tones for winter.
Side note, my lovely and talented primary photographer (Holli Zenko) is on holiday in London, and this was my first time shooting with Mike, a friend and co-worker of my boyfriend’s. It’s crazy how different people’s photography styles can be! We had a lot of fun on the shoot, and I LOVE how vivid the pictures turned out. I’m going to be shooting with my dear friend, Sarah, later today, and I can’t wait to show you what we create. For now, enjoy these selects from my Fall Ready with Perfectly Priscilla shoot!

Ronnie M Jewelry Fall Lookbook

November 16, 2016

Hello, my dears!
I am so excited to bring to you all a new collaboration between myself and Ronnie M Jewelry. As you may know, I’ve modeled for several local brands and boutiques before, doing a bit of modeling and styling for them. I actually met Veronica, (owner and designer of Ronnie M Jewelry), through one of these collabs and we instantly clicked. I loved her dedication and passion for her craft, not to mention, her jewelry and personality definitely stood out from the rest. When she asked me to model for the Ronnie M Jewelry fall lookbook, I was totally up for it!
This collection is all about those gorgeous fall tones of burgundy, grey, amber, and plum, with a hint of sparkle to welcome the upcoming holidays. I usually gravitate towards her stackable bracelets, (I own a few), but after our shoot, now have several of her wrap bracelets and a particular chunky knit infinity scarf (that’s currently on sale!!) on my wishlist. What’s better to wrap around your neck when the cool weather starts to roll in than something super nubby, crazy soft, and in the hottest color of the season? Also, use code “WELCOMENOVEMBER” at checkout for 15% off any purchase $75 and up through November 23rd.

Obsessed with this scarf, and the fact that it just went on sale (for $22!!). It can be worn in a single loop, or doubled up for extra warmth.

Look at all the pretty details. Blessed wrap bracelet, $205. I love how Veronica combines all of these natural stones to form a gorgeous pattern on my wrist.

Layered stone stretch bracelets, $48 and up.

Amethyst slice sueded leather wrap bracelet, $95.

Stretch stone bracelet, Key to Heaven double wrap bracelet, $115, amethyst slice wrap bracelet.

Silver Hamsa macramé bracelet, $30 (also on sale!).

Well, there it is! The Ronnie M Jewelry Fall Lookbook. We’re already working together on putting out a holiday lookbook, which I can’t wait to share with you! So what are your thoughts on the bracelets? Which is your favorite?

October Stitch Fix

November 1, 2016

Hello, loves!
Welcome to my October Stitch Fix, filled with the colors of fall.. Rich burgundy, forest green, navy and grey. This time around, I requested dark pants, a moody floral piece, a comfy grey cardigan, a midi skirt and a fun piece of my stylist’s choosing. I was thrilled with everything I received, with the exception of the comfy sweater. For me, it seemed too casual, as do most things with hoods. Spoiler alert, I kept everything this round! I was considering sending back just the sweater, but it made more financial sense to keep it all, so I could partake in the 25% discount and I can always bundle up in the sweater when it’s chilly out.

Top & Cords / Stitch Fix // Scarf & Sunnies / Layered by Cake // Flats / BCBGeneration
Top $48 & Cords $68, both kept. Enter one of the most versatile blouses ever! I can pair it with virtually any bottom, and layer a sweater or scarf on top. It’s a great basic piece to have in my closet. The cords I wasn’t so sure about until I tried them on. The rich color and great fit made me change my mind, and I realized they were actually quite versatile as well.

Top / Stitch Fix // Skirt / H&M // Clutch / Forever 21 // Flats / Louise et Cie // Necklace / BaubleBar
Blouse, $54, kept. Loved the print on this top and the detail around the neck. It does mean that I can’t wear a regular bra, and I hate wearing strapless bras, but for this top, I’ll make an exception.

Hooded sweater / Stitch Fix // Top / Old Navy // Jeans / MaviUSA from Stitch Fix // Flats / Mossimo // Sunglasses / Layered by Cake
Sweater, $54, kept. Like I said, I wasn’t initially sold on this hooded waterfall cardigan, but it is a great piece to just throw on with some loose-fitting pants and a tank on the weekend. A little too casual for me to wear out on a regular basis, but soooo comfy.

Top & Skirt / Stitch Fix // Clutch / Who What Wear for Target // Booties / Forever 21 // Bracelet / Fab.com / Necklace / LA find
Skirt, $48, kept. This skirt was similar to another knit pencil skirt sent to me in one of my first fixes, shown here and here. That one had tones of slate blue, navy and cream. This material has a slightly different color way, also incorporating burnt red and olive, and I’ve already found so many different pairings for it.

Overall, a great fix. I have worn the black top seriously so many times, and the skirt multiple times as well. The cords are just a touch warm for me still, but I look forward to wearing them in the upcoming months. Next time, I’m looking for a dark blazer, another moody floral piece (can you tell I’m obsessed?!), an everyday pair of jeans and a shirtdress to pair with leggings/tights.
