XMAS Wishlist

By

Here are my dream gifts this holiday season! At the top of my list is the Leica D-Lux 5, a small camera that will brilliantly capture moments and memories. I actually already purchased this Vivienne Westwood glitter-finish top for myself as an early Christmas present. Swooning over the belts and buckles of this Burberry lambskin leather hobo.The Tiffany “Little Blue Book” is a beautiful and elegant way to keep your notes, lists, and ideas. Because I love scents, a bottle of the ultra sexy Ormonde Jayne Ta’if Rose parfum and my favorite body crème, Jo Malone Orange Blossom. Finally, since I am a San Francisco girl at heart, a box of Cocoa Bella holiday chocolates.

Tell me what’s at the top of your holiday wishlist!

Berry Lips

By

Mini post! Here’s what I wore for a night out and dinner at a great Indian restaurant. Wore my favorite tux blazer and suede boots, keeping the rest simple.

On my lips I’m wearing NARS Damned. I love this berry shade against my new hair color. I went from dark brown to warm brown + caramel highlights. 

Blazer: Evans UK (p.s. Evans just launched their US site!)
Top: Forever 21+ 
Jeans: Asos curve
Boots: DUO Boots 

Golden Sparkle

  • Top: Talbots via Marshalls
  • Jeans: Torrid
  • Jacket: Trina Turk via Nordstrom
  • Heels: Manolo Blahnik via Nordstrom
  • Cuff: Unearthed Etsy
  • Lipstick: MAC Red
  • Nails: OPI San Tan-Tonio, OPI Louvre me Louvre me not

Inline with my holiday inspiration post, I wanted to share some of my favorite recent outfits. Today I wore this fabulous oversized sequin top. It’s lined in silk and feels so lush. I paired this with this super sweet Trina Turk sweater jacket. I love it for its textured knit, scalloped sleeves, and cut-outs that go all around. Finally, for a bit of sexiness, I added my new stingray Manolo Blahnik wedges in this gorgeous tiger print.

Style Tip: Contrast the sparkle of sequins with the softness of a knit. 

Holiday Fashion Inspiration

  1. Feminine Knits 
    It’s the season to wear a beautiful knit sweater or dress. In addition to keeping you warm, the texture of a knit adds depth to your outfit. One of my favorites is angora, for its delicate airy knit that makes you looks dreamy in that holiday-film sort of way. 
  2. A Statement Coat
    I love a statement coat because you can pair it with your favorite jeans and sweater just as easily as with a party dress and heels. The day I purchased a coat that would last me longer than one season, my wardrobe began to feel womanly. In the grown up, independent, confident sense of the word. 
  3. Party dresses
    A party dress is the perfect way to add some glamour and romance to your evening. I’m loving gold/bronzy sequin dresses, vintage-inspired lace dresses, and voluminous skirts. Above all else, when looking for your party dress, look for the one that feels like it has a little magic.

So that’s my holiday fashion inspiration, hope this inspires you as well! Soon I will share outfits for each of these categories, but in plus-sizes. xo
