Dusk til Dawn

There is a time of day I love the most. It isn't quite dusk but it's that time of day right before when the sun starts to set and everything is covered in a beautiful warm glow. Kind of like someone doused the world in a sepia filter for an hour or so. I used to say I wish the entire day could be like that hour, but then I guess it wouldn't be so special.

Flirting with Winter

Somehow I feel like it is almost Summer and then I very quickly get reminded that nope, we are still in January. Granted I am in Southern California and am not dealing with Winter Storm Juno 2016 but you know, it was like in the 50's this morning and all. 

Bardot Top

Feeling flares lately. It has always been a little tough for me, as a shortie, to rock flares and feel completely comfortable, however I have always loved the way they look. 

Off We Go!

Any one of you doing some traveling this holiday season (which is so many of us!) knows the struggle of trying to maintain a semi-stylish outfit whilst keeping the comfort factor in check.

5 Tips to Wear Your Summer Wardrobe This Winter

After taking these photos I am pretty sure I should be packing for a tropical vacation due to the level of tan I feel is needed, however I am not. Instead getting ready to head to Ohio where I am told it isn't quite that cold yet but nonetheless I don't see myself wearing a summer dress with a fuzzy sweater draped over it.

//WINTER FLORAL//

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! I am easing back into the week in a floral mini and fluffy jacket. Normally I stick to a pretty minimalistic color palette; black, white, tan, stripes, etc. I am working on breaking out of that monotonous routine by adding more print & color into my wardrobe. I will always be a sucker for black & white but I love having fun and experimenting with new looks!

//IT'S A GIRL THING//

Feeling kinda' girly in this, yet again, black & white get up. Sorry for the lack of color- promise I am planning some pops of color & prints in upcoming looks. However, black & white can be such an easy pairing when you aren't really sure what to wear.

//COLOR OF FALL//

Although, I am currently crushing on an all white or off-white look for fall, I really tend to wear black, black, & more black during these cooler months. I tried to break up the monotony a bit by adding a little color with the blouse and a snake print shoe.

//CAMEL & BLACK //

Camel & black. A classic & timeless color combo for fall.

// LEATHER WEATHER //

All black ensembles are one of my all time favorites. There is just something clean and chic about wearing all black when the pieces are right. I like to mix different textures when doing a monochromatic look like this one, i.e. the faux leather skirt paired with a lightweight knit.

// FALL TRANSITION //

Fall transition- SoCal Style. Fall is officially here & I couldn't be happier! We are still lingering around in the upper 80's and 90's but there is hope for cooler temperatures yet! 

// ORANGE CRUSH //

Orange is one of those colors I really thought I'd never wear. Well, the say never say "never" because I guess there is always an exception to the rule.

 Inspired by some of my favorite street style looks from Paris Fashion Week- Fashion month really, but Paris happens to be my favorite of the four fashion weeks - today I decide to pair a vintage tweed jacket with heels, torn jeans, and of course- my trusty turtleneck.

Do you ever have that one item sitting in your closet for months, and you just know you are going to wear it but just not sure when or how? Well, I have quite a few of those and more than one is a maxi skirt.

I just love finding new pieces that fit into my already existing wardrobe with ease. That is kind of how these pants are- I have already worn them a handful of times and have only had them for a couple of weeks! When I get the urge to buy something in a silhouette or color I do not regularly wear I force myself to imagine several different possible outfits I can create with it.

So...this is how we dress in Southern California during our "winter" months. 

Crop top ✔  Leather skirt ✔  Wool coat ✔

This entire outfit is brought to you by the lovely Zéline, or should I just say with the exception of the turtleneck crop my outfit is made up of new & old Zara items. I purchased this coat before heading back East for the holidays and it has truly been my go-to in frigid cold and semi-cool weather alike. And the shoes to me are reminiscent of a pair of Aquazzura shoes I have been eyeing as of late- only I still want those shoes too!

How do you guys dress for your Winter weather?
