HELLO, MOTO: MINI POST

   With the chill factor up in California, I've been wearing my Zara faux leather motorcycle jacket and ankle boots constantly. They're in my "favorites" rotation. Below are two different days with the same statement pieces. Hopefully the "cool factor" will overrun the "chill factor" and before we know it, summer is here!

A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME…WOULD BE STELLA MCCARTNEY.

Who would've thought a suede legging in November would be a bad choice? Luckily, my top was airy enough to keep me cool. One of the purses that I have been in heavy rotation for this season has been my Stella McCartney falabella tote in a rosy hue. The shearling fabric is so cozy and the color brings cheer to Fall.

I've been enjoying Marilyn in Fashion by Christopher Nickens and George Zeno especially their segment on JAX slacks. Check it out! (Seen with a James Perse turtleneck sweater and Stella McCartney Falabella tote.) 

MINI OUTFIT POST: INSTAGRAM PHOTOS

  I've been quite naughty about updating my blog with outfits of the day and I apologize! When I'm popping out for just a few hours, I find it's easier to take a photo of my outfit for Instagram. Below are a compilation of the most recent outfits.

Equipment Sloane Crew neck Sweater, Alice+Olivia suede leggings, Celine Trio purse, Tom Ford Nikita sunnies and Charlotte Olympia Bite Me Kitty Vampire flats.  

This Zara faux leather moto jacket is probably one of the most smartest buys I've done this year. The weight and feel is wonderful and identical to real leather. Plus the price isn't too steep; I don't see the point in spending $$$$ for a trendy piece.

Speaking of smart buys, I'm in love with this Tibi lace midi skirt. I have found my length in terms of skirts and I'm amassing a small collection of them.

OUTFIT MINI POST: SIMPLE GRUNGE

  The other day, I just happened to go to the James Perse store located in the Brentwood Mart and was drawn to this dress. To me, some of the pieces of the latest collection by Saint Laurent is like "Grunge Chic" and I've been trying to recreate it in a way that still fits my style. This outfit is certainly a toned down, clean and simple version of grunge. To add to the vibe, my hair was tussled and wild. Paired with comfortable ankle boots, this outfit was perfect for a day of errands!
