Hobo x Inspirafashion Farrah Bag Pinterest Giveaway!

Red Tobi lace dress, Brown Isabel Marant dicker boots via Silver & Plum, Brown c/o Hobo 'Farrah' bag, Brown F21 leopard belt.

Hobo Bags really has to be one of my favorite places to get bags made for versatility and functionality -- they always have so many useful pockets and places within each purse you'd love to have especially when you're in a rush or on the go.  Something I adore about the 'Farrah' bag is it has multiple pockets for your cell phone, sunglasses, wallet, etc. And not only that, it's such a pretty bag!  The inside has this lovely orange print and the outside has a beautiful leather finish.  

I decided to style it with this pretty flirty burgundy lace dress and my new Isabel Marant dicker booties to keep it a bit casual.  

Something very exciting about this post as well, is Hobo Bags is collaborating with Inspirafashion in hosting a fun Pinterest giveaway!  You can win this gorgeous 'Farrah' bag! Good luck lovelies!! :)

Teal peplum top via Crossroads Trading, Gold vintage Chanel brooch, Oxblood gifted Kurt Geiger bracelet, Gold necklace via Crossroads Trading, Wine c/o Hobo The Original 'Zara' bag, Dark blue c/o Nectar Clothing high-waisted acid wash jeans, Brown leopard Zara heels.

I usually pair peplum tops with high-waisted skirts, but thought why not high-waisted jeans this time?  The result was a cool mix of classy with edgy from these acid wash skinnies from Nectar Clothing.  I adore the peplum top's unique teal color as well, another color I love this Fall.  I can't get enough of leopard print too.  The sweetest part of the outfit is this clutch from Hobo The Original, perfect for fitting all my necessary things when I'm in a rush to go out.

How've you loves been?  Currently, I think I'm going to soak up the weekend by sleeping in finally, this week has been so tiring from work -- withdrawals from Thanksgiving vacation ;P.  Hope you have an amazing relaxing weekend lovelies, you deserve it!

P.S. So very very excited to announce the winner of the Last Night Dress Giveaway!

Congrats to Yasmeen from Castle Fashion!!  Thanks so much lovelies for entering the giveaway, there will be more coming up soon, perfect for holiday gifts, or better yet, gifts for yourselves ;).

♥, 

Kathleen.

      

J'adore.

Gold Bauble Bar collar necklace (c/o Bday prez from Chelsea of Zipped), Pink striped sweater via Crossroads Trading, Black HM skirt, Brown c/o Hobo The Original crossbody bag, Arm candy: gold vintage watch, gold ASOS spike bracelet, brown c/o LUXLA hexnut bracelet, Plum Zara heels.

My love for stripes continues. I find that every season I fall in love with a particular trend and end up buying multiple pieces of that trend that catch my eye, this one in particular from Crossroads Trading.  The thing with trends though, I try to incorporate in my everyday style.  I can't get over pairing something so slouchy, like a sweater with something classic and sharp like this cool asymmetric hem skirt.

The necklace is my all-time fave -- rhinestone perfection. I received it in the mail from my lovely BBFF (best blogger friend forever) Chelsea from Zipped. We have this tradition of sending each other bday presents every year, also bc coincidentally we have the same bday :).

I liked pairing the sweater with my new beloved Zara heels, they're the perfect height for comfort -- and the color is simply amazing: plum/wine.

This past week has been great, I feel like I'm getting more productive with my work life.  Some fun things are in store for the blog and can't wait to share!  I hope you lovelies are having a great weekend!  Keep inspiring Beautifuls.

♥, 

Kathleen.

      

Sunkissed.

Black knit sweater via Crossroads Trading, Brown Brandy Melville dress, Gold H&M necklace, Brown leopard belt via Target (similar here), Arm candy: Gold vintage watch, Brown hexnut leather bracelet c/o LUXLA, Gold ASOS spike bracelet, Bordeaux Zara clutch c/o Hobo The Original, Gold arrow ring via Crossroads Trading, Black Steve Madden heels.

So I was soaking up the sun, or more so, every bit of summer I can get until its really gone -- the bay area has received a sweet present lately with this indian summer.  But I have also been gladly embracing the Fall season especially with fashion -- bordeaux is my all-time new fave color.  The color has even made it into my now faave bag from Hobo The Original -- this Zara leather clutch is the perfect size.  I recently took it along with me during my bday party, all essentials fit inside -- key, id/credit cards, lipstick, iPhone etc. 

Also, happy to introduce my new beloved heels from Steve Madden.  They're simple and sweet -- definitely my style.

Hope you lovelies are doing well! As with life, I'm starting to get into the groove of things with work as well as juggling my love for fashion (and trying to pursue my dream job of styling).  The last two posts have shown some very exciting things happening with that :).  Collaborated with my favorite stores, Saks Fifth Avenue in a Blogger styling competition and T.J.Maxx + Refinery29 for a shopping feature.  

So happy to now also share I'm going to be a part of (and also alongside other beautiful SF bloggers!) a Macy's Union Square Fall Trend Event hosted with Mandi Line, wardrobe stylist of TV Show, Pretty Little Liars!  (My guilty pleasure show!) ;). We'll be interpreting a trend we've been assigned with her onstage.

See details below.  If you're in SF, Saturday October 6th, would mean so much to see you Beautifuls there! PS. Even more exciting, if you mention my blog Inspirafashion upon arrival, you'll be able to get a $10 Macy's gift card! :)

Thanks so much again lovelies for all your amazing support.  Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

♥, 

Kathleen.

    

Fall hearts.

Light grey c/o Black Sheep Clothing striped top via ShoutPR, Gold HM necklace, Brown F21 leopard belt, Burgundy American Apparel skirt, Tan c/o Hobo The Original cross body bag, Black Comme Des Garcons sneakers.

Hi there Beautifuls! I'm really happy to be back, the hiatus was due again to long long work hours and moved out all of my stuff from my Berk apartment just recently.  Things have been crazy busy, but now am happy that I'm able to take more photos for ze blog.  It's a balancing act and trying hardest to make sure everything gets equal love :).

This outfit is a great way of transitioning from summer to spring, can you believe August is already here? times flies. Decided to make this super comfy and soft striped top from Black Sheep Clothing into a kind of dress by belting it over my AA corduroy skirt.

Channeling the fall colors already, browns, reds, and grays. & keeping the comfort with my Comme des Garcons sneaks. I think for this fall I've become reacquainted with my love for sweaters (last fall, I went overboard and bought about way too many for my own good ;p).

----

So this past weekend, had a lot of firsts, went to Dolores Park in sf, watched a free movie in the park (Sixteen Candles, ahh jake ryan lol), ate pizza from Delfina, among other really amaazing sweet things :). Hope you had a great weekend loves!

----

Keep inspiring and have a wonderful start of the week!! <3>

♥, Kathleen.

    

Bohemian crystals.

White c/o AKIRA lace dress, Tan c/o Hobo The Original Candis bag, Light pink Sam Edelman Georgina sandals, Silver ASOS collar necklace, Rings: Crossroads, F21, silver claw ring c/o LYLIF, Bracelets: Silver ebay, vintage, friendship bracelet via miravera.

I've been inspired lately by one of my ultimate style icons, Nicole Richie -- ever since seeing her on Fashion Star, been reacquainted with her amazing style..a la boho chic meets feminine and edgy.  This lace dress from AKIRA is so beautiful, and may I say, super versatile!  It can also be worn as a cardigan..I can already tell this will be worn a lot this summer.

Thought I'd have fun with accessories -- one being my all-time favorite so far, these Sam Edelman sandals are gorgeous beyond words..the studs are my fave part of course.  Decided to play off the silver hardware with my rings and bracelets.
