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!

Holiday Fashion Inspiration

By

  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

Palm Springs Beauty

I spent the last three nights in Palm Springs and loved it. We stayed at a boutique hotel called Korakia Penisone. In wearing this outfit to dinner, I was inspired by the beauty and romance of the location. I paired this fabulous tulle skirt with a grey and ivory romper and a blush jacket. Also added my fuchsia velvet platforms, grey python print clutch, & blue stingray cuff.

Carrie Bradshaw in Paris

By

No matter how you feel about Carrie Bradshaw, there is no denying her fictional closet is the stuff of dreams. The episodes in Paris are perfect and everything I want fashion-wise at the moment. Stripes, sequins, feathers, tulle, embellishments—beautiful.
