Another Year Older

I can't believe I'm going to be another year older in about a week. Cue the birthday wishlist! The Givenchy card holder is so simple and chic ( items that have really been catching my eye lately). Ever since I bought my boyfriend his automatic watch I've been scoping for a more feminine style to call my own. This Kenneth Cole one with its pink accents was exactly what I was looking for. Not to mention these JC heels that have been unfortunately sould old everywhere. I've also developed a strange infactuation with peplum tops lately so this one from Motel really hits the spot. The Stila Liner is my holy grale. Its also never too early to start using eye cream and I've heard some pretty good reviews for this Kiehls one. Lastly, candles of my favorite scents from Bath and Body.

Happy Presidents Day! As of lately I've found myself straying away from the bolder prints and heading towards the more basic pieces that could be thrown on with just good old jeans or paired with some leather leggings if I'm feeling on the edgier side. This oversized top from Zara is one of those pieces! Paired it with my new Zara kitten heels which I fell in love with the moment I saw them. 

Since I didn't have work, I decided to have a little sister bonding time shopping and paying a visit to one of our favorite tea places. Did I mention we went to see Warm Bodies? I'm hoping my sister and I aren't the only ones who loved it! How was your extended weekend?

Double Crossed

(Forever 21 Sweater & Cross Shirt & Bag | Marc Jacobs Watch | MyHotShoes Spiked Wedges)

Can a girl have too many crosses and studs in an outfit? Perhaps not! Love pairing this cross jumper with my cross button up underneath. I've also been wearing the crap out of this Marc by Marc Jacobs watch that I received as a gift from le boy. Not to mention these awesome studded detailed wedges courtesy of MyHotShoes! Hope everyone has had a blast keeping up with all the NY Fashion Week updates from different bloggers, I know I have! (Still on my bucket list to attend!)

Ready or Not

( Urban Outfitters Tee | La Mer Watch | MyHotShoes Wedges)

Sorry for the lack of outfit posts! But I am so glad to be back! Loving this loose patriotic tee paired with these gorgeous wedges courtesy of MyHotShoes. I've caught myself wearing beanies more often due to the drop in temperature here in California. I'll be going to Florida next week with the boy, can't wait to share the pictures with you all! In the mean time, whose excited that JT is back?! 

MUCH LOVE,

Gangsta Party

(Forever 21 2Pac Tee + Vest + Belt | H&M Hat | Vince Camuto Boots | Michael Kors Watch)
Finally a sense of winter here in California! I somehow managed to snap a few shots as the sun made a brief appearance this rainy weekend. I am much more of a sunshines and blue skies kind of gal,but rainy days are often perfect for lazy days in! These Vince Camuto boots one of the only items I picked up during the Black Friday sales. But they have easily made their way into my wardrobes all this week. They are sooo comfortable! I've also been strangely into faux fur lately.

 BTW, MY FERRE SUNGLASSES GIVE-AWAY IS NOW CLOSED! THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN THE NEXT POST!!!
