Flop Top Galore

Who said you can't wear a floppy hat in fall? Reminiscent of their summer, straw cousin, these wool floppy babies add the perfect mix of drama and sophistication. I still cain't wait for it to be cold enough to pair with a long coat, tall boots with a chunky heel and dainty hoop earrings. Bad hair day or not,

A Dress For the Wedding

It's wedding time! Seems like every other weekend is filled with some sort of bridal, bachelorette, or wedding activity, which is totally A-OK with me because I have a new excuse to shop for the event. Ha! With a wedding in the Bay Area a couple weeks out, ideas are already starting to brew on what to wear. With attending a grad program at FIDM, I get new ideas every day, which also makes the decision-making even harder.

Here are several ideas for an afternoon wedding that continues into the evening. I'm aiming for a look that's transitional. You know, not too Easter-brunch-ish and not too Vegas inspired-- something right in the middle.

Take a peek below:

New Year's Eve Looks

Before December even began, questions started to arise about plans for New Year's Eve. Really? I had no clue what my plans were and still don't, and usually, I don't get too crazy about planning an elaborate New Year's Eve extravaganza. Although, I did get inspired to create some looks for the evening...for whatever I'm planning to do!

Take a peek at three looks below:

Jumpsuit: Catherine Malondrino Necklace: Pamela Love Pumps: Guiseppe Zanotti

Top: H&M Pumps: Charlotte Olympia Cuff: Tory Burch Skirt: Topshop

Dress: Alice + Olivia Earrings: Rachel Zoe Pumps: Christian Louboutin

Makeup Look For Tonight...

Thinking about recycling this look for 'girls night'. Thoughts?

Mascara: MAC False Lashes in Black (don't get confused, these are my natural lashes.)

Lipstick: Satin MAC Red

Vacay Looks in the Big Easy

It's my first time in New Orleans and I love it already! Southern hospitality, humidity, lively music and loads of history keep me wandering through the French Quarter, trotting by Brad and Angelina's via mule buggy, and stuffing sugar-powdered beignets down my throat.

Take a peek at my first couple of days down in NOLA:
