Paprika One-Shoulder Top and Shredded Denim

November 19, 2017

Hello, my lovely babes!
To be completely honest, I had never really been a fan of yellow or orange tones before this year. I feel that I am so fair, they usually wash me out. My theory hasn’t really changed on the golden tones, but I’m really starting to warm up to shades of rust, saffron, and persimmon. I think the richer hues are SO gorgeous for fall. I was surprised when I gravitated towards this top during a recent Nordstrom Rack “Steal the Rack” sale. I had been wanting to experiment more with the one-shoulder trend because I think it looks adorable on some of my fave babes on Instagram. This top was definitely a winner for under $10 during the sale!
I’ve found the way to make shades like this work is to pick a section on your body to focus the color, either the top or bottom, not both (like a dress). Neutrals like faded denim, black pants, or even a leopard print would work well with these tones, the reason why I styled this look the way that I did, also to keep from looking like a pumpkin 😉

Side note, I just returned from a party and overnight stay at Hotel Indigo in Downtown LA, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The rooms are so spacious and luxurious, with not one detail overlooked. We dined at the hotel restaurant, Metrapole, and I would say the popcorn shrimp is a must-try. It was almost like a mini stay-cation, since we are only an hour away, but didn’t want to worry about driving home after the party. I loved hearing the backstory of the design choices, from the art on the walls to the decadent touches in every room and the nods to Prohibition.

Fall Trend Series : Red & Bell Sleeves

October 16, 2017

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!

Maggy London Fit & Flare and Longing for Fall

September 9, 2017

Hello, hello, lovelies!
I know I’m going to say the thing that’s on every other southern Californian’s mind right now.. Can fall just get here already!? Every time I’m on Insta nowadays, I’m seeing all of my blogging friends breaking out their sweaters and boots, even some moto jackets in the mix.. Any idea how quickly I would drop to the ground going outside in multiple layers right now? It’s still only getting to the low 80’s when M and I are getting ready for sleep, and I’m simply over it.
Alright, enough complaining about the inevitable… Let’s talk about this gorgeous dress I’m wearing from Maggy London. Give me a dress that has a pleated skirt, and guaranteed, you will see me twirling like a 6 year old at least a couple times an hour. I just can’t help it! This one has incredible movement, and I’m loving the print. It’s small and refined enough to wear to work, but a fun mix of red, black and white than can easily translate to a dinner date or a meet-the-parents brunch. I’m often a fan of a more modest cut, and this one hits at the ever-flattering knee-length, with a nice V-neck to keep things interesting. I paired it with this fantastic rhinestone bib necklace I got in a Box of Style from last year, a vintage clutch, and some slip-on loafers. I’m still not totally sold on this style of shoe, and I thought they’d be way more comfy then they are, but maybe I just need to break these guys in a bit more.
What are your thoughts on the open-back shoe trend? A little weird or are you feelin’ it?
