RED FOR THE HOLIDAYS

 

 

  

Happy Thursday, loves! It's our posting day, yay :) What are your plans for the weekend? Are you going to do some shopping with Thanksgiving coming up right around the corner? Hopefully, yesterday's post gave you some more ideas on what to buy. I’ll put up some more gift idea posts real soon. Thanksgiving is such a big family holiday where everyone gathers around to give thanks and appreciate what we have in our lives. Turkey has never been a favorite of mine, though, is that weird? haha Anyways, I really have a lot of things to be thankful for, especially this year. It's been such an amazing and special year for me because of you guys. Thank you so much for making all of this happen and for being so supportive with your comments and e-mails. I'm heading to Europe this Saturday for the next week, but I promise I will try my best to write to you guys :) I'm super excited.

You guys know how much I love prints. Do you guys remember this print top I wore in October? Here. The dress today is from the same brand, Clover Canyon. I really love it. I have to admit that red is my color as I’m sure it is for many of you. The dress is a royal horse print and I matched it with a red coat. You can pick almost any color coat to match any of the colors on the dress. Feel free to wear leggings if you feel a bit chilly. I bought this dress a while ago and Clover Canyon’s new collection has some great pieces, which I adore. The dresses are feminine and will definitely make a statement for you. This outfit is great for a date or a party during the holidays. If you like prints like me, I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to find something you like in their collection. Enjoy your Thursday, loves :) XOXO

AFTERNOON TEA WITH SASA

 

 

 

 

Hello, loves! How's your week going so far? Did you wait in line last Thursday to purchase the Isabel Marant for H&M collection? Or you were able to snatch your favorite piece online? Everything sold out online incredibly fast but you never know there might be a piece still available in-store right now.

I wore the Isabel Marant for H&M skirt to afternoon tea with a good friend this past weekend. I love this jacquard-weave skirt. The silk and wool blend with metallic threads has incredible details and the wrap design is really cute. It's perfect for the holidays. Oh my, did I just say, “holidays?” New York is already decorated with beautiful lights and I’ve even spotted a few wreaths. Have you started looking for holiday gifts for friends and family? I’ve done a little bit of shopping, but still have a ton to get done. Some websites are starting to advertise some pretty good sales or holiday gift items like Shopbop, Sephora, Nordstrom, Alice&Olivia and Bloomingdales. Hope you can find something for your friends and family. Remember, it’s the thought that counts but if you find them something stylish that they love, you’ll even bring a smile to your face :) 

I paired this look with my statement necklace and bangles from Sequin NY. They are a NY based jewelry design company. The statement necklace is definitely an essential for the holidays because it makes your whole outfit stand out. It takes a simple look and brings a lot of life to it. I don't wear it all the time, but it's something you definitely need to have in your wardrobe. What’s your favorite statement necklace in your jewelry box? :) Enjoy your Tuesday and thank you so much for reading. XOXO

SORBET OKAY

  

 

Hi loves! Happy Thirsty Thursday! Hope all of you bundle up and stay warm in this chilly weather. Some of you inquired about the hair dryer I bought recently to see if it's any good or what's so special about it. Personally, I'm pretty good with the flat and curly iron most of time, so I usually do my own hair. The main reason I wanted to get a high quality blow dryer was because I feel as if blow dried hair looks a bit more natural compared to using an iron. Irons of course can still be used to help style your hair but a blow dryer can definitely do the trick as well. This dry bar one has a number of good reviews online and it really does dry your hair faster while protecting your hair at the same time. I'm still trying it out but so far so good. Already, I love the fact that I don't have to wake up super early in this frigid weather just to go to a hair salon to get my hair done. It saves me so much energy, time and money. I’ll have to show you guys my blow dry results in future posts after a little more practice, hehe.

Today's outfit is a summery Sorbet Okay dress from ModCloth. It looks fantastic with the dyed colors. When I first saw it, the dress really reminded me of some of my most enjoyable summer days. Even, though, summer is long gone now, I wanted to show you an example of how to wear this summer dress in the fall season. I styled it differently and added more accessories like this belt and pair of gloves to make it more appropriate for the season. I completed this look with my white coat and Christian Louboutin heels. I refuse to put away my summer dresses because I truly believe that some can be worn throughout the year. You just need to style it differently. Do you guys agree? Thank you so much for reading and for all your kind words. XOXO

TARTAN AND YS

  

 

  

Happy Tuesday, loves! How was your weekend and how's your week going so far? I went to a good friend’s wedding over the weekend. Yes, I know it seems as if I’m always talking about attending weddings. It’s actually the fourth one we’ve attended this year. I’m so glad to have witnessed a very special moment for the couple and shared in their joyous day with so many close friends. It was a traditional Korean wedding that was dream like. The bride had an amazing and breath-taking gown paired with the perfect hair and makeup. Best wishes to the newlyweds.

If you guys follow me on Facebook and Instagram, you’ve probably already seen some pictures about the Tartan trend. Many brands have started using Tartan for this season such as Karl Lagerfeld and McQ Alexander Mcqueen. The Tartan pattern really catches my eye. When I saw this matchy matchy Tartan top and pants at Topshop, I knew it was for me. It's casual yet still super cute.

You can totally wear it with heels or boots. Instead, I paired it with a pair of Yosi Samra Ariel Croco black loafers. The loafers are well made and I feel incredibly comfy in them. Yosi has a selection of other foldable flats. I find them quite convenient since you can carry them almost anywhere by putting them in a clutch when you are out in your heels. It’s always tough to balance looking sexy vs. being comfy. These types of loafers can sometimes be lifesavers. Enjoy your week and thank you so much for reading! XOXO

INSPIRED BY NATURE

TGIF, loves! How are you doing today and how's your week going so far? You guys might remember that I went to Mara Hoffman's runway this past NYFW . I saw her new spring/summer 2014 collection. It’s full of beautiful prints and you can tell that the line is truly inspired by Mara, herself.

For today's outfit, I picked this quilted bomber jacket from Mara Hoffman. It's super cute and I love the colors. You can see the design influences from nature, travel and fantasy. The bomber jacket is comfy, functional and it keeps me warm during this season. You can wear it with a skirt, jeans or shorts and so many other things. I wore the jacket with a shirt dress that day. I completed the look with ankle boots and a 3.1Phillip Lim for Target bag. Have an amazing weekend and thank you so much for reading :) XOXO

Happy Tuesday, loves! How's your week going so far? I can’t believe that it's November already. Last year at this time, I was on my way back to New York from Paris. So many things have happened in the last twelve months. I’m fortunate and lucky that most things have been positive for me. It really has been an amazing year :) What about you?

I wore today's outfit this past weekend to brunch with friends. I'm in love with this Paige Denim plaid shirt, which is casual, chic and comfy. I paired it with 7 For All Mankind boyfriend jeans and my favorite Sole Society ankle boots :) I adore the shape and color of the ankle boots. They’re exactly what I was looking for this fall.
