  • Argyle Socks and Sparkly Pumps

    Sunglasses, Gucci. Cardigan, J.Crew. Earrings, necklace, bow, crewneck thermal, skirt, and shoes, Forever 21. Socks, Wet Seal.

    Old women (I’m talking the 80 year-old wealthy widows) in Santa Barbara always have the coolest style… oversized shades and jewelry.  Additionally, the toddlers in my town are insanely spoiled… which is why I inevitably envy a lot of their wardrobe (mainly sparkly super-feminine footwear).  I say, “If you want it… get it!”  So, I put together this old/young fusion.  Sure enough, a four-year-old in a yellow tutu high-fived me while I was out at lunch.  Mission accomplished.

  • Sunday Brunch

    Blazer, Ellison. Scarf, Brooch, and Ring, Forever 21. Hand-stitched tank, Lace skirt, Tights, and Leg Warmers, Wet Seal. Shoes, Anna Michelle. Vintage Leopard Sunglasses.

    On my way to meet my girlfriends for Sunday Brunch and mimosas.  It was still a bit chilly out, so I wanted to combine everything feminine in layers for added warmth.  I love old-fashioned touches like the soft mauve of the scarf and the drama of the brooch.  Textured tights and leg warmers add unexpected fun.  Vintage leopard sunglasses top off the outfit.

  • Last Minute Holiday Shopping

    Glasses, Wet Seal. Scarf, Shorts, and Bracelet, Forever 21. Striped thermal, Gap. Shoes, FD4.

    Last minute holiday shopping was stressing me out… So I decided to add a little bit of color to the chore.  Sure enough, the bright colors brightened my outlook.  And the geek chic glasses definitely didn’t leave room for anything except smiles.

  • Happy Hour with Mom

    Sunglasses, Dita. Vintage black pearl necklace. Ruffled Shirt and Glitter Pumps, Forever 21. Fur vest, Wet Seal. Skinny jeans (distressed by me!), Red Engine.

    Fur, ruffles, pearls, and red lipstick.  Mom appropriate… yet still mildly fabulous.

  • Let’s Paint the Town… Magenta

    Dress, Forever 21. Shoes, Lui Chinny. Earrings, Betsey Johnson.

    Winter doesn’t mean only reds, blacks, silver, and gold… Color is still a huge option and one that should be exercised liberally… Especially if you want to stand out in the crowd.  Usually I’m not a fan of the monochromatic look, but with such a simple outfit (hair straight back, magenta dress and shoes, and dangly earrings) the monochromatic look worked.

  • Current Obsession: Betsey Johnson Heel

    Ah, Betsey Johnson, you little vixen… You’ve done it again.  And just in time for your Black Friday 40% off of everything sale… I’ve been counting down the days.  Meaning that these shoes… originally $235… marked down already to $117.50… Will only cost $70.50! I love a good deal as much as the next girl…  These just might be the shoes on my feet when I lean in for my New Year’s kiss… Uh-maz-ing.  Want em? Click and shop, baby.
