Snapped these photos ages ago but didn't have the chance to go through them until now! I'm still a big fan of print mixing and I don't see that going anywhere. I'm a little obsessed with the print on the jacket--it reminds me of patterns I saw while traveling in Istanbul a couple years ago!
In other news, I'm now contributing weekly to People StyleWatch online! I hope you'll follow along--new posts will be going up every Monday. :) Check out the first post here!

TWO-TONE

Hey guys!! I hope you all had a fabulous holiday and are looking forward to counting down to 2014! I already blogged what I'll be wearing tonight but I wanted to finish off the year with one of my favorite looks to date!

[ :: Talbot's coat :: LOFT striped top :: ASOS boyfriend jeans (cute polka dot version!) :: ]
[ :: Fossil leopard crossbody :: Go Go Phillip earrings :: Mossimo heels (similar from Calvin Klein) :: ]

 I've been on the hunt for a great camel coat and this beauty from Talbot's fit the bill perfectly! The boxy cut and two-tone design strike the perfect balance between on-trend and classic. With a silky blouse, printed boyfriend jeans, and printed pumps, this outfit was perfect for a weekend brunch, just hanging out with friends and family and recovering from the Christmas madness.

I hope you all have a fun (and safe!) New Year's Eve, and I'll see you in 2014! :D

COZY UP

Wooooo, okay, worst blogger award goes to yours truly. Things have been pretty crazy here as we move into our new place, but we're finally getting settled in! Not easy since I now have less than HALF the closet space I used to (brb crying), but it was a good opportunity to assess the clothes hoarding situation I had gotten myself into. Finally purged some items I had held on to for far too long! I also discovered that I own an inordinate amount of scarves given the mild winter we have, but I love them too much to get rid of them. Maybe during the next move. lol!

Anyway, I'm so excited for the holidays this year! With it comes family, fun, and cute outfits to share! I wore this outfit for a friend's wedding a couple weeks ago--the contrasting fur collar on the bright teal coat is so fabulous and festive!

Oh. and just for kicks, I made an ask.fm account! I get lots of emails about what to wear for certain occasions, random product questions, size questions, etc. so I figured it would be helpful to have all the answers in the same place. Ask away! :)

PATTERN PLAY

Keeping things short today! Mixing prints with these boyfriend jeans and patterned jacket. Added some gold accents with this studded vegan leather clutch from Hearts which I absolutely adore, and this necklace from Designsix (currently on sale for $11!).

SIMPLY LUXE

Hey guys! First and foremost, thank you so much for the well wishes on Twitter and Instagram! ❤ You guys are too sweet. Getting some blogging done from the hospital because time waits for no one, sick or not! :P Granted, this is a teeny bit behind schedule this week, but hopefully it's coming better late than never! :)

[ :: ASOS necklace :: Evans boots (similar) :: H&M belt :: ]

Rounding out my looks from Simply Be USA with this adorable collared dress from their Luxe collection! The sparkly threading and the contrast collar are so very chic. Love this dress!

I'm so excited for boot weather to be approaching, and this pair from Evans is the perfect basic black boot--heeled but comfortable, slouchy enough to tuck jeans into, and structured enough to stay up on their own. Very excited to wear these this season!








Thank you guys again for all the well wishes! :) I seriously have the most awesome readers ever! ❤!

IN THE KISSER

It's been rough reacclimating to the daily grind, but I'm back in California, trying to catch up with life. Things have been absolutely crazy--lots of unexpected changes at work, we're moving to a new place soon (!!!), and there are several fun fashion surprises in the works! Can't wait to share with you all in a couple weeks. ^__^

The second I laid eyes on this shirt I knew I had to have it! I took a chance and ordered it even though it's not from the ASOS Curve line. For what it's worth, this is a US14/UK18 and would easily fit up to a US20/UK24. Score! Paired it with these super budget friendly sunglasses from Target which totally don't fit my face shape but I love them anyway. They're velvety and remind me of Minnie Mouse. Always a good thing! :D
