Autumn Sun

Hey everyone! Hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends. 

I wanted to share with you a couple of my purchases that I got during the Black Friday shopping madness! 

Black Friday Deals:

Talula Military Jacket (10% off at Aritzia) 

Striped Abercrombie & Fitch Dress (40% off at A&F outlet)

From my closet:

Enzo Angiolini Boots

Thrifted Dooney & Burke Purse

Rayban Wayfarer Sunglasses

I literally wore this outfit the day after I bought them. The Abercrombie & Fitch dress works perfectly with the green military inspired jacket from Aritzia. Which were both great deals. The dress was originally $40 but I got it for $25! The jacket was on sale for $100, but it was well worth it because I will get a lot of uses from it. 

Pictures are courtesy of my friend, Jamie Balaoro! 

I'll post some Holiday Outfit ideas soon!

Shine in Gold

Sorry for the limited outfit posts :(

But finally a new outfit post! Maybe I can provide you with some outfit inspiration for this holiday season!

The Thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching!!! Time to feast on turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and pie <3 It's also a time where we can all get a little dressed up for the holiday season.

My family and I are still unsure of where we're going to go on Thanksgiving. Either going to a relatives house or we're just going to stay at home. Either way, I'll be with my family and that's all that matters.

I may not know where I'm going, but I do know what to wear.

An all gold ensemble!

I kinda feel like I look like wrapping paper.

Best part is, this outfit cost me less than $50! Of course this doesn't include the shoes. The top is from Forever21 only cost me $17 and the embellished gold filigree print skirt was a thrift store find at Crossroads Trading Co for only $8.50!!!

Top: Forever21

Skirt: Crossroads Trading Co

Tights: H&M

Heels: Calvin Klein

Happy Early Thanksgiving everyone!!! Be safe, be happy and get dressed up!

Turquoise Bliss

Hello everyone! Sorry for the lack of outfit posts, oh the joys of working full time and commuting to work. It leaves me little time to post on my blog :( 

But this weekend I finally got to take some pictures! Sunday was a good day. The weather was warm in the late afternoon and I decided to wear this turquoise dress that has a peach graphic print on it. I accessorized it with a peach woven belt that way it goes with the color scheme. Also wore shoes that my lovely boyfriend got me from Cole Haan. 

Dress: Lush from Nordstrom

Shoes: Cole Haan Lunargrand Wingtip

Belt: Forever21

Clutch: Trouve from Nordstrom Rack

Are you guys ready for Friday?! I know I am!! BTW SF Giants are playing tonight, Game 7 vs. Cardinals!! GO GIANTS!

Textured Maxi

Hello Everyone! Something that makes my Monday bearable is taking pics of my outfit for this blog. Gives me something to look forward to since Mondays is usually tough. 

I'm obsessed with maxi's and lace and this dress has both. Found this dress at Urban Outfitters for $69. I like how this dress is deceptively sexy. It has a slight slit on the side and a see through lace back. There's just something about this maxi that I find romantic, girly and sexy. I also love the texture of this maxi dress. It combines lace material and heather gray cotton together so perfectly!

Only accessorized with my teal sunglasses because it was sunny outside. But I will definitely invest in some cute bracelets and rings. More reason to go shopping! 

Dress: Kimchi Blue from Urban Outfitters

Sunglasses: Target

This dress is a happy addition to my wardrobe. I think it's the perfect transition piece for summer to fall. 

What to do guys think of my outfit? Let me know!

Simply Playful

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the lack of outfit posts lately. I'm adjusting my work and family schedule so I have some time to myself to take pics. Sometimes I wish I had a sibling that can take quick snapshots of my OOTD's but for right now, I'm depending on myself, my Canon camera and a tripod. 

Also, this is my FIRST outfit post with my newly cut hair! I absolutely love this new haircut. It's easy to manage and super low maintenance.

EVERY girl needs a simple black skirt. I especially LOVE this skirt from Pink Stripes. The bottom hem has a think leather border all around. Paired this skirt with a printed black/white chiffon tank top. 

Simple yet playful outfit for a date with that perfect someone :D 

Top: Forever21

Skirt: Pink Stripes

Heels: Calvin Klein

Cluth: ALDO

4 more days until Friday!! We can make it!

Weekend Brunch

Hello everyone! 

Sorry for the mini break from outfit posting. But I've been battling with allergies, work and spending time with my parents because today is my Dad's birthday! 

I wore this outfit this weekend while spending time with my mom and dad! We spent the whole weekend eating and shopping. Quality family time is always good for the soul <3 

I'm still obsessed with maxi skirts and denim shirts so I decided to pair them together. My favorite obsessions in one outfit..what's not to love? Also, I found this Trouve clutch at Nordstrom Rack for only $34, originally $89! What a deal! This weekend was definitely awesome! 

Top: Bella Dahl from Nordstrom Rack

Skirt: Sag Harbor Petite thrifted at Crossroads

Shoes: Halogen from Nordstrom

Clutch: Trouve from Nordstrom Rack

Accessories: Kate Spade, H&M and Forever21

The weekend is never long enough for all the things I need and want to do. Wish we all had 3 day weekends but we don't. Only 4 more days until Friday!!! We can make it :D
