Rose romance.

Photos by Sight Through Glass Photography

Pink ASOS rosette strapless dress, Arm candy: Pale blue c/o LuLu*s bracelet, Ivory c/o Charlotte Russe rose wrap bracelet, gold rings via Crossroads Trading, Ivory stone ring c/o Beginning Boutique, Ivory vintage Chanel clutch, Nude c/o Steve Madden Marlenee sandal heels.

If I could relive Valentine's Day again, I'd have a sweet picnic date out in Napa somewhere involving wine tasting & maybe this would be the dress I'd take out...everything about it is so romantic and beautiful (I thankfully found it in the sale section while online shopping on ASOS).  

The important part of accessorizing for this dress is to keep everything soft and subtle -- I paired accessories with golds and interestingly a pretty pale blue color with this LuLu*s bracelet (lovely pastels for Spring).  The perfect shoes to top off the outfit were these sandal Marlenee heels from Steve Madden.

For the shoot, decided to go with a romantic pretty setting at the Berkeley Botanic Gardens again (seriously can't wait to visit again once everything is in bloom this May).  Once again lovely photography by Matthew Liu, Sight Through Glass Photography :).

Have a lovely start of your week Beautifuls!

Rose.

Brown vintage boyfriend coat, Gold vintage Chanel brooch, White American Apparel turtleneck cropped top, Light pink c/o Inlovewithfashion skirt, Brown ASOS suede boots (similar in teal), Brown gifted Kurt Geiger leopard satchel, Gold c/o Beginning Boutique ring.

This is one of my girly sweet outfits, thought I'd stray away from dark colors with all the gloomy weather we've been having, kept to soft light neutrals.  This gold light pink lace print skirt from Inlovewithfashion is gorgeous with its shimmery fabric.  Paired it with my bf coat, leopard bag, and suede ASOS boots (haven't used them in longest time).

This week has been probably the longest at work because its right before the holidays..do you guys ever get that feeling before a big holiday, antsy and excited at the same time?  Can't believe Christmas is around the corner.  Gave my boss this week her present, put a lot of thought into it, since she's about giving back to the community, something I look up to, gave her this Kate Spade 'hand in hand' bracelet, 25% of sales is donated to the women for women international organization.

Happy Holidays lovelies!  Hope you have a fun time with your family and friends.  Keep inspiring Beautifuls always!

♥, 

Kathleen.

      

Oxblood.

Oxblood HM hat, Oxblood American Apparel cropped turtle neck, Gold vintage Chanel brooch, Light brown c/o Filthy Magic skater skirt, Arm swag: brown c/o LUXLA leather bracelet, gold gifted Kurt Geiger bracelet, black chevron rings via Crossroads Trading, gold ring c/o Beginning Boutique, gold Urban Outfitters 'k' bracelet; Black white c/o Mimi Boutique Tamara satchel, Brown Zara leopard heels.

Embracing Fall colors more than ever -- in particular, obsessed with the color Oxblood, or aka a fancy name for Burgundy? lol. The other day I said to my friend, I love leopard and oxblood -- then figured that does not sound so animal friendly ;P. I'm a dork and I notice the funny side of trends sometimes.

Laughter aside, I'm still obsessed with this vintage Chanel brooch, stick it on anything and it looks ultra cool. Decided to pair this beautiful skater skirt from Filthy Magic with a cropped AA top and HM hat. Played with textures with this gorgeous Tamara satchel from Mimi Boutique and Zara leopard print heels.

P.S. Check out my style segment feature on Mimi Boutique!

Autumn.

Brown Urban Outfitters beanie, Dark brown c/o Bebe contrast moto jacket, Ivory vintage Chanel clutch, White Urban Outfitters lace top (similar here), Bordeaux American Apparel maxi skirt, Black Zara heels, Accessories: Gold c/o Beginning Boutique ring, gold arrow ring via Crossroads Trading.

I am embracing the Fall season with open arms. Beanies, jackets, layering, knits, wine/bordeaux, are just a few of my favorite things about dressing for my favorite season (check out more of my inspiration in my Autumn board on Pinterest). In addition, Autumn is so lovely with pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin bread ;).  

Hope you lovelies will have a safe and fun halloween (for the weekend, I was minnie) ;), can't believe it's coming up already, time flies! Have a wonderful week ahead Beautifuls!

♥, 

Kathleen.

      

Bask in the sun.

White c/o Beginning Boutique lace dress, Red c/o Casper&Pearl floral headband, Blue vintage Levis denim vest, Arm candy: Silver vintage watch, TJ Maxx pyramid bracelet, Black/silver F21 rings, Silver ring via Crossroads Trading,  Brown Zara buckle heels.

Took advantage once again of this beautiful sunny weather, more of basked in the sun haha.  This dress from Beginning Boutique sums up the perfect combination of all things beautiful, lace, bow, and pretty silhouette. Decided to add to the sweetness with my CandP floral headband; a la Lana Del Rey ;). To toughen up the look, added my vintage Levis jean vest and buckle heels.  Always find my style reflects some type of irony..voila, edgy and girly.

Currently, commuting to work on BART, I naturally fell in love with w/ this new iphone app: spotify, I have so many playlists now! Random fun fact? I'm a movie and music fanatic.

Anyways Beautifuls hope your weeks are going well! Friday's tomorrow! ;D
