Peplum + Red

This is the outfit I wore on Christmas Eve. I happened to work that night but still wanted to be in the Christmas spirit so I wore my red pants and added some sparkle with my bracelets and soft gold shoes.

Thankfully, I didn't work long into the night so I still got to celebrate with my family and eat a yummy Christmas dinner. And on Christmas day (or I should say night), my siblings and I watched Les Miserables. Did any of you watch the movie? What did you think?

Polka Dots + Toggle Coat

Today was a chilly day in Southern California so the only thing I could do was grab my most favorite and warm coat and, of course, add a touch of polka dot--my new favorite print. Don't worry stripes, you're still my number one.

Are you a fan of polka dots?

Pink + Leopard

Pink has recently become one of my go-to/favorite colors (especially light or pastel pinks like this one) and I don't know why. I haven't even had this sweater for a week and I find myself wanting to wear it a little to much not only because of the color but because it is SUPER soft and comfy. I'm definitely going to be getting more of these. Pairing sweaters with jeans is also a go-to look of mine. It's easy, incredibly comfy and looks put together.

Black Friday Weekend Shopping

Just wanted to share the few items I got for Black Friday (or actually Saturday). I didn't do any shopping on actual Black Friday as I was working. I work in retail so I was there to experience all the madness during my 9 hours shift, and I'm happy to say that I survived! And it wasn't all that bad.
The stores I went to were Target, Old Navy and Banana Republic. There were so many things I wanted but only got a couple of items mostly sweaters because let's face it, I LOVE sweaters. I wanted to get more but I had to restrain myself for my sake and my bank account.

Polka Dots + Knit

It's finally beginning to feel like Fall in Southern California which means it's time to dig out our cardigans, knits and coats. I bought this thick knit cardigan at Forever 21 about two years ago and never really wore it, but I've been putting it to good use lately with this recent temperature drop. I paired it with my favorite polka dot top (I'm super into polka dots lately) and liked the way it turned out in contrast with the texture and colors of the cardigan.

Burgundy + Stripes

I figured I'd add a new section to my blog and start including 'outfit of the day' posts (just to make it a bit more personal). Now, I don't have a great quality camera or iPhone/smartphone so my little Samsung Brightside phone will do for now. For today's outfit I'm wearing my all-time favorite shirt. I probably wear this top more than I should but that's because I LOVE stripes and I love the boat neck/classic look of this top.
