Free falling.

Brown Urban Outfitters hat (similar style here), Ivory Urban Outfitters lace cropped top (similar style here), Blue Madewell skinny jeans, Gold gifted DSW clutch, Berry gifted Marc Fisher 'Trince' loafer flats.

If I could pick one season I love the most, it would have to be Fall. As much as I love the sun and the warm weather in the summertime, its something about the autumn season that gets me...okay maybe it's all about my pumpkin obsession ;). Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cupcakes, okay you get the picture. In addition to pumpkin cravings, there's the beautiful Fall leaves, the holiday atmosphere, the family all gets together, everyone's happy its the end of the year. Such a sweet season, especially for fashion too.  

I paired this lace crop top with a very casual outfit, but kept it interesting with this beautiful gold clutch from DSW. Also, these berry colored flats from Marc Fisher are perfect for Fall, I love how they look so elegant and they're so comfy! Lastly, paired the outfit with my favorite brown floppy hat.

Now I'm off to enjoy some Starbucks in those cute holiday cups (got so excited when I saw them). Keep inspiring lovelies!

Urban moto chic.

Black Nasty Gal cropped leather jacket, Blue lace dress c/o Choies (similar style here), Ivory vintage Chanel purse, 'Love' bracelet c/o Mimi Boutique, Black gifted Marc Fisher booties.

When I saw this blue lace dress from Choies, I loved how it had this trumpet hem along with hints of nude fabric and a crazy fun lace pattern.  It's so interesting, urban sporty yet feminine. I think my style is really gravitating toward this type of cool irony in fashion, sporty meets girly -- a neat twist all the time. 

I decided to style this dress with a black leather jacket (btw, one of my all-time favorite new additions to my closet!), its so hard for me to find a nice fitted leather jacket, finally found one. I also added to this outfit some beautiful black suede booties from Marc Fisher. I accessorized with this cute 'Love' bracelet from Mimi Boutique and gold rings.  

This past weekend has been so eventful, and in the best way possible -- I teamed up with a wonderful photographer and videographer, Tim Williams.  We had the shoot at Berkeley, found hidden gems everywhere -- seriously was the best working with him. I love partnering with different artists in fashion, it's such a great way to connect and create something amazing.  I can't wait to share with you lovelies!! It's going to be released along with my new blog redesign by my good friend and web designer, Richard Tom! Stay tuned lovelies by Thanksgiving week!

Cheetah Camo Remix.

Dark green c/o LuLu*s camo jacket (similar style here), Metallic skirt via Crossroads Trading, Brown gifted Isaac Mizrahi 'Simon' oxford flats, Arm candy: gold crystal bullet ring and black button ring c/o West Egg Jewelry, gold arrow ring c/o LuLu*s (similar style here),  Brown cheetah print clutch c/o DAAME.  

Whenever I create outfits, I love styling looks with an interesting mix of textures and prints.  Here I styled camo and cheetah prints with a metallic textured skirt.  I love how the tan oxfords go well with this outfit, not overpowering the rest of it (having a unique prints together).  Also, with accessories I decided to have fun with these beautiful rings from West Egg Jewelry.  The designer of this online shop, Heather Ross (also a great fashion blogger), reached out and let me know of her jewelry line, which has some beautiful pieces!  Her jewelry is available on Facebook which you can purchase there directly by FB messaging her with your selection (item number) and your email.  Just a heads up her jewelry is also available on Redditgifts Marketplace, and see where her inspiration comes from on her Pinterest as well.

Happy almost halloween lovelies!! Hope you have a great rest of the week. Keep inspiring! 

P.S. I'll be attending a Birchbox dinner in SF tonight, be sure to follow my instagram here to find out what the event is about! :)

Romantic sporty.

Army green Zara jacket, Gold Chanel pin, Light pink Free People dress, Silver c/o Anjolee diamond tennis bracelet, Tan Zara sandal heels, Beige c/o Handbag Heaven Elise shoulder bag.

I wanted to create a very feminine romantic outfit yet with a sporty twist.  Here I paired this pretty lace dress with my structured moto jacket, interestingly mix of tweed and parka material.  For accessories (my favorite part of styling an outfit), I mixed light neutral tones.  I wanted to keep the palette light but with a cool factor with this gorgeous studded bag from Handbag Heaven.  I love how it's very spacious inside with a lot of compartments, very ideal for a working girl.  In addition, I paired the outfit with a beautiful element, this sparkly number from Anjolee, the diamond bracelet designs.  I love how on their website you can also customize the length and size (important for me having tiny baby wrists). 

This month of October went by so fast! This Thursday for Halloween, I'm planning to go out again with my partner in crime.  It'll be a surprise of what we'll be then, follow my instagram to find out! :) This past weekend I had fun going to a Halloween party in the city and visiting a pumpkin patch with the boyfriend. Loving October so far! Next up, Thanksgiving. Hope you lovelies have a safe and fun Halloween!

P.S. I'm sooo very excited to share with you all my redesign coming soon by my really good friend Richard, to now Inspirafashionblog.com (btw, the url changed!)  And with this redesign, stay tuned for a video (and photos!) by Tim Williams, I'm collaborating with him to bring you guys a fun fashion video to showcase outfits I'm going to style.  Can't wait to share with you lovelies.

Trunk show of their new Spring 2014 collection

Last Friday, I was invited to preview the Freda Salvador 2014 Spring Collection and to attend a mini field trip out to Sonoma Scribe Winery.  The event started right when we arrived at their Union St. flagship store -- was greeted by a chic model army wearing bejeweled face masks and beautiful shoes.  After viewing their current collection at their store and enjoying some breakfast including delicious pastries from Marla Bakery and juice from Pressed Juicery SF, we went on a bus to travel to Sonoma.  Inside there was also a surprise with small tin lunch boxes with snacks and the Freda Salvador logo labeled on top, was too cute! 

I think the event was so successful because we were able to venture out of the city (what we're so used to) to instead an entirely new place, being Scribe Winery -- even better we enjoyed wine tasting on a beautiful Indian summer day and nature all around. The wine and chardonnay were so refreshing along with the pairing of cheese and bread (say cheese, and I'm always there).

After we previewed the new Spring 2014 collection, we were ready to try on the shoes! I ended up picking this black bootie with the black fabric contrast in the front and back.  I love how the boot also has side cut-outs and a mini heel for extra height but also comfort.  I loved the collection especially because it had unique patterns/prints: snake skin (in different colors, the blue was gorgeous) and fringe on some of the sandals.  All was completely wearable and I could see them fit in with my wardrobe perfectly.  

A big thank you to Freda Salvador for this amazing event, it was probably one of the biggest highlights of my year.  Can't wait to see more from them as their designs are amazing!  Be sure to check out FredaSalvador.com for more of their shoes (in their current collection, they have some leopard booties I'm dying for too!).  Also, get to know the designers, Megan and Cristina, behind the brand more here.

Hope you lovelies have a great week ahead!
