Hey, Babes!
I know, I know, it has been SO long since my last post! If you follow me on Insta, you may have seen my updates about attending New York Fashion Week THIS THURSDAY…. OMG, it’s less than two days away, I can’t. Let’s just say, I am not prepared, and scheduling everything has been incredibly time-consuming, creating an itinerary for 6 ladies! I wanted to prep 8 outfits, and only have 5 currently planned out, am missing pieces from specific looks, made a last-minute dash to Forever 21 last night for nude bodysuit, which, what the heck, took me 30 minutes to find! Enough with the run-on sentences, haha, let’s just say I am hoping I can pull it all off in time. And also, that all of it fits in my new luggage!
I’ve been sharing sneaks of my looks on stories, but you’ll be able to see a full recap here after I’ve returned from New York. I seriously am so excited to share with you all the fun looks I’ve put together, all of the excitement from the shows, presentations, showroom visits, meals, and, wait for it, the photo shoot my group is doing with one of my favorite dress brands!
For now, enjoy this Valentine’s Day and date night-perfect cropped and sequined outfit. Sparkles, heels, and little peeks of skin are my idea of the ideal ensemble for a night out (or in), with my honey.

Side note, one of these days, I will stop playing with my freaking hair! Haha.

Aid Through Trade Beaded Bracelets Giveaway

Hi, loves!
I’ve just returned from my first Staycation with the SoCal Blogger Babes and I have to say, I am happily wiped out! We made so many fun stops all around Costa Mesa, and I look forward to sharing all of the details on here soon!
I’m excited to share this look with you all, first because I adore it for this still in-between weather we’re experiencing, but also because it was shot by my boyfriend! I was warned by several of my blogging friends that they’ve had less than pleasurable experiences being directed by their S.O. but we actually had a blast and I took him out to lunch after.
I built my look around these “rose all day” bracelets from Aid Through Trade. They reached out a little while back and let me choose any of the stacks on their website, and these instantly grabbed my attention. I love that the stack has some shine and shimmer to it, but isn’t super showy. Don’t get me wrong, I do love a bold statement piece on the regular, but I also like pieces that whisper instead of shout.
The best part of Aid Through Trade, aside from their adorable and versatile roll-on bracelets, is the message behind them. They are created by over 200 female artisans in Nepal, and every purchase helps provide them with a fair income and benefits in a safe work environment. Nothing is better than a company that strives to give back and improve lives!
I’ll be doing a giveaway for any roll-on stack on the Aid Through Trade website starting tomorrow! Head on over to my Instagram for all of the details.

Fall Trend Series : Red & Bell Sleeves

Hey, babes!
I wanted to start a little series on a few of my favorite trends for fall, and I’m kicking things off with “red” and “bell sleeves”, coming together in this super cute and comfy top from The Mint Julep. I love how forgiving the cut is, and how it can be paired with jeans or leggings alike. I knew I wanted to style it with something sparkly and lovely, and this statement necklace I rented from Rocksbox definitely stood up to the bold red shade. I was soooo tempted to buy it, but I’m really trying to cut back on my jewelry spending until the end of the year.
As it gets cooler, eventually, I will absolutely be pairing this top with a blanket scarf and peacoat, and tucking the jeans into some knee-length boots. One thing I love about red is that it can easily pair with brown or black accessories, depending on what you have or the mood you’re going for.
I’m going to be shooting a couple of other fall trend looks in the next few weeks, and I’d love to hear from you! What are your favorite trends for the season? What do you need help styling?
Here are some ideas I have:
Midi dress/wrap dress
White shoes
Super frayed cropped denim
Blanket scarves
Colorblocking
Jewel tones
Velvet everything
Tie-neck blouses
Dressed up screen-print tees
Also, I’ve teamed up with 4 other awesome bloggers to share how they rock red this season. Scroll down to see their unique takes on the trend!

Fall Florals Button Maxi Dress

Hello, beauties!
I know you may be thinking, “Hey, does that dress look familiar?” Well, you’d be right, because this is a very similar style to a dress that I wore recently, just in a slightly different and more fall-tastic color palette. I was so in love with the first style I bought, I wanted to see what other patterns it came in.. Turns out, the answer is – a lot! Just about 35 variations on the same dress, and I’ve got my eye on at least 2 others for fall. The length is perfect on me, (I’m 5’7″), the material is slightly stretchy and lightweight without being transparent, and the button-details, although a pain in the ass the first time you close them all up, look so pretty spanning the front of the dress.
I can say that without a doubt that my mentality of “If you find something you like, buy it in multiple colors” came from my mom. As a young teenager, it was pretty difficult to find clothing in my size that was actually cute, so when my mom took me shopping and I found something that fit, she would encourage me to find every variation they offered! So sometimes, I would come home with 3 butterfly-print maxi skirts with different colored backgrounds. It’s been a little difficult to break that mentality EVERY time I go shopping haha, but a girl has to set a budget eventually!
What’s something you’ve purchased multiples of? I’d love to hear what was good enough to go back for seconds, or thirds!
