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!

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.

Dolman Top & Zigzag Skirt

October 29, 2016

Hello, loves! I can’t believe that Halloween is already upon us! It seems like just yesterday I was trying to convince my coworkers to join me in dressing up like the ladies of the 80’s comedy “9 to 5” and them all looking at me like I was crazy (those party poopers!) I decided to strike out on my own and recreate Dolly Parton from the preceding decade, country singer Dolly in the 70’s! I’m so excited to throw on a gingham skirt and stuff my bra with about 8 pairs of socks. Oh, and the accent, can’t forget that! 😉
When putting this look together, I definitely wanted to create an outfit that was multi-functional. I would wear this ensemble to brunch, out shopping with the girls, on a casual date night (wedge booties are the PERFECT footwear for a date when you might be walking a fair bit or on uneven ground, you get a bit of height while staying comfortable), or even to work. The skirt is made of the comfiest stretch knit material, and the top is flattering on everyone, especially those (like me!) with a little tummy. I can’t wait to start pairing my pencil skirts with tights and a scarf when the weather allows. Check out my previous post here to see how I styled another versatile Stitch Fix knit skirt.

Graphic Minidress & Vest

October 18, 2016

Hello, 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.
