Paprika One-Shoulder Top and Shredded Denim

DFT- Red Evening on Eureka - Holli Z Photography - 2Hello, 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

Fall Trends - Red Bell Sleeved TopHey, 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

Amazon Milumia Button Maxi DressHello, 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!

Home is Where the Field Is

Perfectly Priscilla Football Casual OutfitHey babes!
I don’t know about you but.. I’m obsessed with football. It’s always been my favorite sport to watch, and even though I did enjoy a basketball game or two growing up, my heart has always been with football. I can recall watching games with my dad, both college and pro, as far back as I can remember. Now that I’m all grown up, I not only watch the games every Thursday, Sunday and Monday (whew!!), but I’m also in a fantasy league. Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve won my league 2 out of the past 3 years! It’s fun to feel like you have a little bit of a stake in the games, more so than just cheering for your favorite teams. Mine was the San Diego Chargers for the longest time, but since the switch to LA, I’m sorry to say, it just doesn’t feel the same!

My attire for the game is shifting as well, especially since I don’t necessarily feel like I have a designated team anymore, and rarely reach for my jerseys or team-specific t-shirts. I was so excited to find this top from Perfectly Priscilla Boutique, which is as comfy as it is cute! I love the “Home is Where the Field is” message, and the forgiving fit that won’t show if I’ve had a beer or two, or shared a plate of chicken tenders during halftime.
I’d love to hear, what’s your favorite sport? Do you prefer to watch the games from home, or to get caught up in the excitement with like-minded fans at a restaurant or sports bar?
