GREY AREA

The morning and the night time here in New York City has actually gotten a little chilly recently and I'm definitely getting the feeling that fall is just around the corner. I wanted some layers and something chic that I could wear during this type of weather. Ta da then I found this blazer, haha. Everything I threw on here is old, only the grey blazer is new. I wanted to be able to mix and match it with whatever I already have in my closet. It'll look good if you try layering it with a shirt as well. A grey blazer is definitely a wardrobe essential that can help transition your outfits into the Fall:)

Thank you so much for stopping by and for all of your encouraging comments. Have a great weekend:)

LONDON DIARY

Happy Tuesday, loves! I'm back from an unforgettable trip to Europe. How was your Thanksgiving? Did you pick up any great deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Hopefully, in addition to the gifts you purchased for family and friends, you also got something nice for yourself. I totally spoiled myself and cannot wait to share with you guys what I bought in Europe. 

My first stop on my Europe trip was London. I really enjoyed everything there such as English high tea, shopping at Ted Baker, Topshop and Harrods, and of course sightseeing under a light drizzling rain. London is such a cute city with their signature red phone booths, Big Ben and their native English accent. All of them brought a smile to my face.

Wearing white is always a good idea in London even come winter time. In my opinion it matches well with the backdrop of the city. I really love this white quilted skirt from Persun Mall. It's cute, affordable and versatile which makes it great to have during the holiday season. I completed this look with my new favorite structured tote bag by Sophie Hulme. I've been looking at this bag for some time now and I’ve debated with myself which color was worth the investment. I ended up deciding that black was the right color for me because I love wearing prints. If your closet is full of solids and darker colors then it might make sense to consider one of the brighter colors. Over the years, I’ve realized how much I love structured bags. Structured bags make your outfit instantly more stylish. This Sophie Hulme bag has already become an essential, go-to bag in my wardrobe.

The snake necklace and matching bracelets are from Capwell+Co. There is a sale going on for you guys right now. 20% off site wide. Code:SASA20. I hope you can find something you like too:)

I’m so glad to be back home in New York and posting regularly again. If there’s anything on your mind that you’d like to see and read about during the holidays you know how to reach me. XOXO

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

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
