Grey Wonder - Darling Ruffles and Soft Greys

Hey there lovelies! Happy Sunday! I hope you love this outfit as much as I do! This is my go-to outfit for errands and shopping trips.

A chic outfit does not mean you have necessarily have to compromise your comfort. I'm all about a comfy-chic outfit -- something you can throw on in a hurry, but also not constraining. I love flowing dresses and wool coats for this reason. Shift dresses and or flow dresses are perfect when you want to be stylish and comfortable and you don't really have to think too much about bottoms! Wool coats are also perfect way to add style and a chic-appeal to your outfit. Wool coats are sophisticated and modern. 

Here are my outfit details:

Dress: Zara (similar here, here and here)

Coat: Forever 21 (similar here, here and here)

Tights: H&M

Booties: Booties: Zara (also love these and these)

Living a Dream - Pinstripe and Black Mesh

Hey there lovelies! 

I'm obsessed with this outfit. I've been wearing this black coat non-stop as it goes perfectly with everything. Its just such a staple in my wardrobe and is definitely a must-have item for this season. As it is so heavy and oversized, a perfect contrast to it is a fitted skirt paired with a cute blouse or camisole. This is my go-to style when I wear over-sized layers -- I love wearing fitted items underneath. Can we also take a minute to admire this adorable pinstripe skirt? It is so feminine and chic and I love how perfect it pairs with black.

This Black mesh camisole has also made several appearances recently. When I am shopping for staples, I love finding a trust on everyday basics. I love how the camisole adds such a simple yet chic element to the overall look.

Mixing Denims and Tweed - Telling You My Secret

Hey lovelies! Happy Monday! 

Today was one of those mornings where I simply (for the life of me) could not find anything to wear. The struggle is real, am I right? As it was a shoot day, you would think I had something planned, but the truth is... I normally do not plan my outfits. I'll let you in on my secret.. I normally pick out what I want to wear the morning of. Sometimes I pull out pieces that I want the shoot to be focused around, but I wing it as I go. I have a rack of new clothes that I can choose from to make the process easier because they are pieces I haven't shot yet, but I normally go through a bunch of outfits until one looks right and chic enough to shoot. I mean, if I'm going to be indecisive and change my mind anyway, might as well save myself the trouble and style my outfit in the morning of! HA! And yes, I do take forever to get ready. 

Here are my outfit details:

Top: Dynamite (similar here)

Jacket: H&M (similar here)

Bottoms: Forever 21 (distressed it myself) (similar here)

Booties: Zara (also love these and these)

Suede Biker Jacket and Friday Lattes

Hey there lovelies! Happy Friday! 

One of best moments during the winter months is enjoying a warm latte at a local coffee shop. I've recently discovered and fell in love with the rustic vibes of local rosters and I think is it such a great way to support a local business. I love feeling productive doing my work, while sipping on a warm latte, or sharing laughs with friends in these settings. The amazing coffee choices on the west coast has sort of turned me into a coffee snob. HA!

Here are my outfit details:

Sweater: Old Navy (similar here and here)

Faux Suede Jacket: H&M (similar here, here and here)(also love this biker jacket and this one)

Asymmetric Trench and a Classic Red Lip

Hey there lovelies! I found this trench coat during the Boxing Day sale at Banana Republic and it was like love at first sight. It is in collaboration with Olivia Palermo and she nailed it! I love how this is not your average trench coat; I'm obsessed with the asymmetrical hem line and the side button detailing. A bonus is the flared sleeves, in which I can wear ruffle sleeve sweaters under without it bunching up. This jacket is totally a statement on its own and can be an accent to complement a statement dress or top. 

Here are my outfit details:

Top: H&M - just a basic V-neck (similar here and here)

Coat: Banana Republic X Olivia Palermo (also love this one)

Bottoms: H&M

Booties: Zara (also love this pair and this pair)

Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Leather Mini Satchel

Earrings: Call It Spring (Dior inspired) (more options here and here)
