WWDMAGIC Recap


I am so sorry for making you wait for this update, I have been really sick this past week-ugh! I had the absolute best time ever at WWDMAGIC and have you all to thank! I felt right at home in my element and it's an opportunity that I will never forget...I really hope I can go again next season (fingers crossed!). There were so many highlights of the trip that I thought it would be fun to share my top ten moments/ discoveries with you...even though there were more like 100 top moments.


10. PJ Salvage Pajama Party: Night one was filled with wine, adorable PJ Salvage pjs, and lots of Beyonce. It was the perfect way to kick of our week in Vegas together. It couldn't have been better planned that I happen to be wearing my pug tank top that day--too perfect with my pug pjs!

9. Fashion First Aid: Because WWDMAGIC was the size of a football field, I knew I would need lots of essentials to help with staying comfortable. Cue- The Fashion First Aid Kit filled with band-aids, double sided tape, a portable pocket for business cards AND MORE, this kit was so handy! Other items I brought that helped save me: Mophie Case, Julep Blister Stick, and my DIY'ed embossed business cards!

8. Beacher's Madhouse: What's Vegas without a fun night out on the town? All the WWDMAGIC bloggers got dolled up for a wild night at Beacher's Madhouse at the MGM Grand which was seriously SO fun! Dancing teddy bears, freak show skits, and dancing on tables? Yes, please! I highly recommend a night at Beachers if you haven't been!


7. Outerwear heaven: One of the panels I spoke on was what upcoming winter trends will be hot for 2014. I instantly was drawn to all different kinds of statement coats from pastels and plaids to furs and leather! I became overly obsessed with this cotton candy style coat from Glamorous- isn't it fun?!



6. Lulumari: You all know I have a thing for bold and bright colors, so the moment I walked up to the Lulumari booth it was like the color G-ds had opened this booth up just for me. From the pops of neons to their amazing wall of bold statement necklace, Lulumari was definitely a favorite!



5. Metallics trending: One of my favorite trends that kept popping up were metallics! From this fierce Poppy Lux asymmetrical silver skirt, to Melie Bianco's wall of metallic purses, this is one trend that I am SO on board with.



4. Accessories Galore: I. love. accessories! I say it time and time again, but you can wear something as simple as bf jeans, ballet flats and a blazer...but once you add the most amazing accessories it really completes a look. I think speaking on the Accessories Trend Panel was my favorite because I got to showcase items that reflect my personal style- like this holographic neon clutch, gorgeous Lulumari statement necklace, and fun ombre sunglasses from West Coast Eyewear!




3. #SWAG: Considering I had to buy an extra duffel bag (in addition to the empty one I brought flat in my suitcase) it's safe to say we got hooked up! Thank you to all the brands who gifted everything a fashion lover could dream of! I can't wait to share everything I got with you soon!

2. Speaking on panels: I've done public speaking gigs before (Hey, PoshFest Emcee!), but being able to share my own experiences on social media, trends, and blogging really was an amazing experience. Thank you to everyone who came by the Social House to listen to what we had to say!


1. Meeting new people: By far my favorite part of WWDMAGIC was meeting the other official bloggers who are all gems! My roomie Kaelah is such a sweetheart, all the gals at StyleSmith took such great care of us, and it was an honor to meet and connect with all the brands and designers!



Stay tuned for more updates from WWDMAGIC soon! Thanks again to everyone who made this possible! XO!

The Leather Jacket


Skirt: Old Navy (Similar)  // Leather Jacket & Heels: Asos // Bag: Alexander Wang Rocco via Poshmark // Necklace: Outrage Fashion // Lipstick: Covergirl








I've gone through my fair share of leather jackets, but somehow I have never owned a good black moto style one. Crazy, right? I ordered a few last year and ended up returning them, making my search continue. I haven't even been shopping very much lately, but while I was doing my regular Asos browsing I came across this one and loved the style (and the affordable price tag!) so I went for it. Now, I have to say this piece is definitely a staple in my wardrobe that I will be wearing non stop-- dressed up with skirts and dresses, or casual with my Chuck's, welcome to the fam!

Added bonus: This jacket is on sale for only $88.00 now-- SUCH a good deal!

Fur and Fancy Pants

 Pants: Asos // Top: Old Navy // Vest: Marshall's (Similar) // Shoes: Boutique 9 (Similar) // Bag: TJ Maxx // Watch: Michael Kors // Sunglasses: Asos // Lipstick: Wet 'n' Wild




This outfit not only kept me warm and cozy during our first day of lower temps and rain yesterday (hello, big ass hair), but it was super fun to wear! I love a good faux fur vest, and paired with a chambray top, classic pumps and some fancy pants is the way to go for an easy look that packs a lot of punch! 

Lastly, how amazing did the photos turn out? Big shout out to Kate for letting me try out her fabulous new lens! XO!

Twinkle Toes


Jeans & Vest: Forever 21 // Shoes: Vince Camuto // Bag: Alexander Wang via Poshmark // Watch: K-Mart // Lipstick: Revlon




Last week was San Francisco's Fall Fashion Fest, and I originally wasn't even planning on going until Adiel gave me the extra push..and I'm so glad she did! From a fun Rachel Roy styling event at Macy's to walking the streets and running into lots of fashionable friends- the night was definitely worth the drive into the city! 

Because I wasn't planning on an evening of events, this probably wasn't the best shoe option (hello, five inch heels), but on the flip side I've owned these blush jeweled shoes for almost a year and this was the first time wearing them--I love the color and jewels, perfect for holiday time! Luckily I was able to squeeze a pair of flats in my purse that I changed into toward the end of the night. Much needed!

Hope everyone is having a great week. I have been crazy busy with an even crazier weekend ahead. #justbreathe

Palm Trees and Polka Dots

 Shorts, Jacket, & Top: Forever 21 // Bag: Urban Outfitters // Shoes: Asos // Sunglasses: Ray-Ban // Earrings: Target // Lipstick: Covergirl 




Being a California gal through and through, I am in love with anything colorful, sunny or beach related, which is why I am completely obsessed with this palm tree tee. If I can't physically be at the beach, I might as well wear one, right? 

I've also been trying to branch out with new summer hairstyles, and this one was ridiculously easy to do and only took me about 10 minutes--I promise one of these days I will get video tutorials going...cross my heart!

What are your go-to hairstyles for summer?

Safari Chic






 Pants: Target // Shirt: Nordstrom // Shoes: Charlotte Russe // Jacket: American Rag // Bag: Alexander Wang via Poshmark 

I know, I know, where are the springy colors in this look? While I definitely missed having at least one pop of color, I really liked how this outfit came together. I do have to mention though, that I wore this to the orthodontists office to get my Invisalign removed, and I definitely got a few stares--I guess they don't see fashion bloggers everyday. 

Also, I want to start sharing outtakes again with you because some are just too funny. Starting with this one where I almost got blown away by the wind--reminding me of the famous (or infamous?) words of an Atlanta housewife, I'm feeling "Gone with the wind, fabulous". Yeah, I said it. 

I'll be posting a LuckyFABB recap soon too, so stay tuned!  Happy Hump day!

Stripes and Studs







Dress: K-mart // Jacket: Forever 21 // Shoes: Prabal Gurung for Target // Necklace: Gorjana 

I definitely wasn't one of the people getting up early to snag some Prabal Gurung for Target, but when these fabulous shoes presented themselves to me, I just couldn't resist! I love the edgy and sassy vibe the laced up detail adds to a look- meow! 

Hope everyone has a great weekend- TGIF indeed!

New Digs





Jeans and Blazer: Target // Blouse: Old Navy // Heels: Asos // Flower Brooch: H&M // Sunglasses: Tobi // Bag and Watch: Michael Kors 

Don't let the title of this post fool ya- surprisingly none of the items from this outfit are a new purchase. What I mean by "New Digs" is my blog surroundings! Most of you know I work at the best company ever Poshmark, and we just relocated to a new office- yay! With the new office comes new backdrops for my blog pics, so bare with me as my options are a little limited...I promise I will make it up to you in fabulous fashions. 

Here's to a great week, friends!
