Strangers





(Rosegal lace Top | Zara Leather Leggings | Born Pretty Bracelet | Forever 21 Cut-Out Booties)

I've always been eyeing the Jeffrey Campbell cut-out booties, so when I found these Forever 21 booties for 1/4 of the price I was ecstatic! Not only are they cute, they're super comfortable and are my current casual "ladies' night" shoes. As for the rest of this look, I decided to pair a feminine peice with a my favorite pleather leggings from Zara. This gifted lace top from my friends over at Rosegal Vintage gives off the perfect flirty vibe. I absolutely love the two-toned detail of the lace floral pattern and solid chiffon combination. However, if you're read my blog you know I'm not all that girly. So I roughened this white lace top up by pairing it with black pleather, black, black and more black. The are also a bunch of other cute vintage styled pieces available at Rosegal Vintage. 

And of course, 95% of the time I also tend to pair everything with gold accessories. However, ever since I've gotten this chained bracelet ring from Born Pretty I've been ditching' the gold and sportin' the silver more and more. I've received many compliments from strangers on this delicate piece! Although the site already offers cute jewelry at incredibly affordable prices, Born Pretty has also given my readers a special 10% promo code (use JCT10 at checkout)!

Huntington Library







(Tobi Dress | Kimchi Blue Lace Kimono | BCBGeneration Booties | Marc by Marc Jacobs Bag)

Hi Dear Readers! Hope everyone has had a great winter vacation. While mine consisted mostly of foodie adventures with friends and sleeping in, I was finally able to visit the Huntington Library with le boyf right before having to go back to work. Although I've grown up in this city all my life, its crazy how I've never actually visited the Garden/Museum. If anyone is in the LA area you guys should definitely check it out. As for my attire that day, we were lucky enough for it to be 73 degrees and sunny (stay warm my mid-west/east coast friends). Thus, I was able to throw on this simple slip dress from Tobi and my new favorite lace kimono snagged from Urban Outfitters (on sale too!). Happy New Year guys!
