Navy + Green

I promise you this blazer is actually navy and not black. I was on the lookout for a navy blazer for sometime as it is a staple of my "work wear." My only other navy blazer was completely worn out from all its use and had to go, but thankfully I found this blazer on SALE at Nordstrom Rack for only $9 (it was originally $62...what a bargain, right?)! Not only was this blazer incredibly inexpensive BUT it is also incredibly comfortable and this is no exaggeration. It literally feels like I'm not even wearing a blazer and that makes it a true winner.

Gucci Pre-Fall 2013

Among all the Pre-Fall 2013 collections, Gucci was by far my favorite. I just love the way all the looks are sleek, tailored and polished, and the use of tartan plaid and the wide buckle belts. I also love the rich green, blue and red hues in the collection. I can't wait to see what Fall fashion has in store (NYFW begins February). Here are a few of my favorite looks below:

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?

Merry Christmas (and a happy Tory Burch sale)!

Hope you're all having a very Merry Christmas! Just wanted to give you Tory Burch lovers (and Tory Burch girls on a budget) a heads up on a Tory Burch sale that is taking place tomorrow (12/26) at The Real Real (you're welcome). The sale starts at 10am EST which means us West Coast girls have to be up a little earlier to snag some good stuff.

If you've been aching to get your hands (or in this case, feet) on some Revas, this might be your chance (a couple months ago they were on sale for $90! which is less than HALF of their original retail value). Also, if you're not a fan of TB, they have other amazing sales going on as well.

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.
