Fall Vibes

November 21, 2016

Fall Vibes - Full Outfit Details 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?

Ronnie M Jewelry Fall Lookbook

November 16, 2016

Ronnie M Jewelry Fall Lookbook
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.

FabFitFun Fall Reveal

October 19, 2016

FabFitFun Fall RevealA new season has arrived, and with it, the FabFitFun fall reveal!
I was definitely looking forward to this box, because I knew it would be full of pretty little things to make the best of the cooler weather. I’ve broken down all of the contents of this subscription box into a couple of categories, because there was just so much jam-packed in to it! Read all the way to the bottom for a $10 off discount code 😉

FabFitFun Fall Reveal - Coloring Book and Pencils Coloring book & coloring pencils – FabFitFun
I was stoked to receive another coloring book and new pencils! I thoroughly enjoy the one I already have, which is of underwater creatures, but was in need of a more beginner-level version. This one is full of flowers and other pretty things and each page can be completed in a night, as opposed to a week for the larger, more detailed designs. I also think it’s fantastic that when purchasing add-ons, I was given the option to donate to Pencils of Promise, a global community that’s focused on increasing access of quality education for children in developing countries.

FabFitFun Fall Reveal - Eyeshadow Palette, Lipgloss Quad and Brow GelNow for the makeup, always one of my favorite categories!
I’ve held off on getting any of the Naked palettes, for one reason or another, and it must have been because I knew that this Nude Collection palette from Pure Cosmetics ($50) was coming my way. I’ve found the pigments to be true, long-wearing, and I love that this palette can take your eye look from natural to super-smoky depending on the shades you use.
The Cargo lip gloss quad was an add-on purchase for $9 (down from $20). I’ve been a longtime fan of Cargo and the classic tin packaging is definitely nostalgic for me, as I used to collect them about a decade ago!
Always in search of the perfect brow products, I generally prefer a tinted gel, because I think they look more natural and add a bit of pigment to brows. This water-resistant version from The Browgal is clear, but I do like that it holds brows in place through working out and a night of dancing.

FabFitFun Fall Reveal - Skincare Essentials The Purlisse sunscreen ($9) was an add-on, and a product I already know that I love. It’s a perfect combination of moisturizer and sunscreen and does a great job at both.
The Skin Laundry Restoring Night Serum ($50) I have only remembered to use a couple of times, to be honest, because washing my face is the last thing I do before going to sleep and most nights I’m so tired, I simply forget! I have noticed my skin nice and smooth when I wake up, and I’m definitely going to take it with me when I travel.
I’ve never been a fan of body oils, because I feel that they are always so messy! They get all over the bottle, the counter, and anything you touch after using them. I can’t say that this French Lavender mini version from Mullein & Sparrow ($18) is any different, because pouring oil out of a glass bottle is decidedly not the cleanest method of dispensing it, but I do feel that it left my skin moisturized and I loved the delicate lavender scent.

FabFitFun Fall Reveal - Yoga Essentials (That’s what I get for wearing a hot pink shirt while using a reflector haha!)
I added on this Cucio Somatology Yoga Essentials Kit for $19 and I’ve already made great use of it. The Mat Spray leaves a gorgeous fresh scent on something that rarely smells gorgeous or fresh. I also love the balancing lotion and oil for giving me a sense of calm if I’m feeling a little stressed out.
I already own another pair of toeless foot socks, but these from Toesox ($18) will definitely come in handy once those get worn out. They’re a great addition to your Pilates or yoga practice.

FabFitFun Fall Reveal - Greeting Cards, Coffee Mug, Shower Gel SpongeLast but not least, the fun stuff!
The Ban.do greeting card set ($10) was a great find. The cheeky sayings and cute pictures will brighten up the day of my friends and family when I send them off.
I really wanted the coffee cup that said “good morning, gorgeous!” because that’s what Mark says to me every morning, but instead I got the “joy comes in the morning” saying. I’ve only used this cup once and I was not impressed. My tea that was boiling hot at home was room temp by the time I got to work. It also made a whistling noise when I sipped from the cup. Not my favorite.
Another kind of odd item is the Spongelle Bulgarian Rose Body Wash Infused Buffer ($16). It smells divine, first and foremost, but it’s not very practical. You could never travel with it, I can’t imagine it drying out properly between uses, and I can’t imagine it’s going to last enough uses to make it worth the retail price tag.
Who couldn’t use another plaid scarf for fall?! Again, I was hoping for a different version, but I guess that’s why it makes it more ideal to purchase the year of FabFitFun boxes in advance. That way, you get to have options and choose the version you like best. I’ll still gets tons of use out of this black and white Loch and Key blanket scarf from Modcloth ($35).

All in all, this box was DEFINITELY worth the price of admission. It contains over $250 worth of items for $49.99. If you’re interested in signing up for the FabFitFun Fall box (they’re still available!) or the upcoming winter box, feel free to use my link here and code “FALL20” when checking out for $10 off your first box, making it only $39.99!

Graphic Minidress & Vest

October 18, 2016

Graphic Minidress & Vest - Full Fall LookHello, loves!
I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Mark and I definitely kept ourselves busy, and got so much accomplished. I love weekends like that, when you can sit down and focus on all of those little tasks you put off during the week. We started on Saturday by heading to Santa Monica for BMW’s 100 year anniversary presentation, which you may have caught a glimpse of on my Instagram stories. It was my first time using stories, so hopefully I was doing it right! We took a peek at several concept cars, sat in a drop head coupe Rolls Royce, and randomly fell in lust with the Mini Cooper Clubman. I had never seen it in person, but once I got inside, I loved how roomy it was and the surprisingly advanced technology. We ate at a little Mediterranean restaurant then headed back home to watch football and do laundry. Yesterday we stayed in, cleaning the house, more laundry (does it ever end??) and I posted about 40 items to my Poshmark account. I’m not even close to finishing cleaning my closet, but that felt like a good start. The easiest place to start is what did I not wear this past summer and what makes me think I would wear it if I held on to it to wear next year.. If there’s a dress that I haven’t touched since last year, I’m obviously over it and could stand to make a little money instead of letting it collect dust in my closet 😉

This bipolar weather has me reaching for the lightest of layers, like this gauzy, belted vest. I love how the slits on the side allow for air to pass through when you’re walking. Even though the material would typically be reserved for warmer temps, it adds a little edge to this knit mini dress, paired with the ring clutch. I remember when Alexander McQueen came out with the original of this style, and it was something like 2k. I can’t say that even if I was loaded I would pay that much for a bag, but certainly not a clutch. I was browsing on eBay one day and came across this similar style for about $20. I’ve definitely got more use out of it than expected, and my favorite time to wear it, believe it or not, is the middle of the day. Worn when it’s daylight, the bag is more quirky than badass.

What did you get up to this weekend? I’d love to hear!
Side note, this is the shortest dress I own and I was so nervous to wear it… Tights are definitely on the menu next time haha.
