frye shirley strappy boots

These Frye Shirley strappy boots are the perfect pair of riding boots; and when I say perfect, I really mean PERFECT. They are classic in every way possible, the tan color is yummy, and the leather wrap around strap is such a cute detail. And they are comfy, too. These riding boots fit true to size.

miu miu platform heels

These Miu Miu platform pumps are the hottest black pumps to wear this season. Vicky got them over the holidays and I don't think I've seen her wear anything else since. These black pumps are sexy, comfy, and look equally gorgeous with a pair of skinny jeans or a little black dress. A wardrobe staple. They fit true to size.

same parker dress. different flavor.

More Parker goodness. Because if you liked the Parker pleated combo dress in pale leopard, you'll *love* it that it exists in purple peacock, too. Style this fffabulous dress with nude pumps, or black pumps and a structured black blazer; black tights or black leggings optional. Hmmm, to get or not to get. That is the question.

haute hippie little black dress

Love, love, love this Haute Hippie open neck dress. Love the v-neck line, love the cap sleeves, love the ponte belt with leather trim. You can take this little black dress from the boardroom to a fancy date, or pack it in your suitcase for a business trip or romantic weekend; it's 100% jersey so it won't wrinkle. Oh, and we love it that Jennifer Hudson wore this dress on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. <3

This dress is available in black, lapis blue and tomato red. Love them all. Want them all.

when it rains...

It's rainy out. But it doesn't mean we have to trade style for comfort, right? I'm still on the lookout for the perfect pair of stylish rain-proof boots, and this pair of BCBG patent leather boots may just be the answer. Love the style, the patent leather, and the tiny wedge heel. The only issue is that they are from two collections ago. Damn! Time to hit eBay, or look for a similar pair online. What are your go-to boots on rainy days?

 

pretty in pleated pale leopard

Strapless? Pleated? Pale leopard dress? Never thought in a million years that this Parker pleated dress in pale leopard would look good on me, but Gina at Bella Rosa Boutique pulled it from the rack and ordered me to try it on. I did, and oh my! Isn't it the cutest dress ever? Wear it as is with stiletto heels, or with cropped black leggings and ballerina flats; you'll look as cute as pie. Available at Singer22 and at Bloomingdale's.

For reference, I'm wearing a size XS (yes, XS!) on the picture. There isn't much difference between size XS and size S though.

nation ltd v-neck burnout tee

The Nation LTD Vegas burnout v-neck tee is my new favorite go-to white tee. I love the semi-sheer burnout wash for a vintage feel, the cotton/polyester combo so it doesn't stretch, and the length is absolutely perfect. And, last but not least, the v-neckline is very flattering—hello, cleavage! You can wear it as is, or layer it with a thin white tank top. I am wearing a size 3 in the picture.

 

love quotes scarf in portobello

After I blogged about my favorite cardi/scarf combo, a few friends reached out to find out where they could get this Love Quotes scarf in that exact colour. So here we go, ladies! The colour is called Portobello. It's a beautiful warm beige colour with a hint of pink that is flattering to most complexions. And, it's available on Revolve Clothing. Woot!

And yes, I was wearing my favorite cardi/scarf combo at the Foodzie Popup Launch Party last November. Are you surprised? PS: I <3 Foodzie! Photo credit: Owen Smith.

elizabeth and james kurt leather sleeve jacket

Mamma mia! I tried this Elizabeth and James Kurt Leather Sleeve Jacket in Heather Grey at Bella Rosa Boutique, and I had to have it on the spot. This jacket is truly unique: I love the Perfecto motorcycle jacket look with its asymmetrical front zipper and softly cowled neck, and the combination of the grey fabric and brown leather. This combo is intriguing to so many people. And, intriguing to me because I have no idea how I'm gonna wash it. All in good time. He!

This Elizabeth and James jacket is available on Revolve Clothing, Blue & Cream and at Nordstrom; although I wouldn't wear it with a leopard skirt. Hmmm.

inhabit cashmere cardi + love quotes scarf = <3

I thought I'd share my favorite cardi/scarf combo these days. I'd wear my Inhabit cashmere cardi in cobblestone and my Love Quotes scarf in Portobello every single day if I could. The colors blend nicely, and it has a comfy and casual yet sophisticated look to it. <3

j crew vintage thermal henley

Thermal tops are my go-to tops to wear on weekends. They are comfy, keep you warm, and they come in the cutest patterns. This year, I fell for this J. Crew vintage thermal henley. I'm digging the navy stripes, the chic gold buttons and the fact it comes in size XXS; not that I would go for a size XXS though. And, it's on sale for $35. Snatch one quick!

line cashmere cardigan in polar bear

Another cashmere cardigan we couldn't resist. The Line Arleer Cardigan is cozy and comfy, and the polar bear color is soft grey that goes with everything. It's a tiny bit pricey but it's so worth it.

alexander mcqueen skull chiffon scarf

Miss Ashley in da house! Ashley showed up at our volunteering training wearing this beautiful Alexander McQueen Skull chiffon scarf in navy/pink. This skull scarf is all around fffabulous. I *love* this navy/fushia color combo. Because navy goes well with jeans, and who doesn't wear jeans? And, fushia is a nice shade of pink, and which woman in her right mind doesn't love pink?

This Alexander McQueen skull chiffon scarf is also available in army/black, black/ivory or ivory/black. What your favorite color combo?

the perfect black bootie

A pair of black booties is a wardrobe staple. And when they are Chanel, that's even better. I love the classic black suede look with the signature patent cap toe. Only experts would know these are Chanel, and that's better that way; I'm personally not a big fan of obvious/'in your face' designer logo. The platform also makes the 105mm heel more manageable. Yay for comfort. To wear over and over for many many years, at work and to go out. Even better if you pair these with the Louis Vuitton Hortensia black sunglasses for a sophisticated look.

Brand: Chanel. Style: 40019. Price: $1,195. Store: Neiman Marcus. Merry Christmas to you!

 

fun. hot. perfection by brian atwood

These B Brian Atwood Suede Colorblock Pumps are fun. hot. perfection. And, they just made it to the top of my Christmas list. Hint hint! To wear with pretty much anything, day and night. That's right, they'll look equally fffabulous with your favorite pair of washed out skinny jeans and a basic white tee or a classic little black dress. Just be ready to get an avalanche of compliments when you wear them.
