I feel like this fall I’ve really edged up my look. I’ve been wearing a lot more black and can’t get enough of leather… or studs. This look combines all my favorite things at the moment; leather, lace, studs and a pop of color.
What are you loving this season?

This lace dress seemed to scream celebrate, which is fitting because today is my Birthday! I spent my weekend with family… it was mellow and just what I wanted. I paired this sweet lacey dress with muted colored accessories for a dinner. Looking back I realized I wore a lace dress to celebrate my Birthday last year too! No surprise here because I’m a totally lace girl.

A favorite look of mine is classic with a twist. Take this silk C. Wonder top, the buttons keep me feeling polished and the dash of neon orange around the collar give it a fun spin. When I paired it with my favorite off white lace/crochet shorts it gave it an even more playful feel.

Ok, so I bought this shirt a few weeks ago and it hasn’t even made it into my closet yet! Do you have any items you wear so much when you get them because they just go with everything? It was also the perfect piece this holiday season; I wore it to my company party, to a family dinner and out with friends.
Along with denim and lace, I love the combo and juxtaposition of leather with this feminine fabric. They balance each other out perfectly so instead of looking overly edgy or girly it’s just right.
So the highlight of this outfit is clearly my pants. I’m obsessed with them. But something I’d like to point out is aside from my bag, headband and jewelry everything I’m wearing is Forever 21. And aside from the pants everything is a few seasons old. Moral of the story is shop around, bargin shop and hang on to classic pieces because you will no doubt wear them for years to come.
I wore this to the premiere of “Life of Pi” at the AFI Fest last week. Even though the temps have been high during the day they drop quite a bit at night so I was glad to be in comfy pants. More on the AFI Fest later.
TGIF!
The week is finally over so put on something pretty, make yourself a drink, kick up your heels and party – or relax. Same thing after a long week. This dress is a favorite of mine. You all know how much I love lace and the deep green makes it perfect for fall. Sometimes lace seems like a more spring/summer material but color can really change that.
