Secret of Lotus.

Light brown American Apparel cowl neck sweater, Ivory c/o Urban Natures Secret of Lotus necklace, Light blue American Apparel high-waisted jean shorts, Ivory thrifted vinyl bag, Tan ASOS boots, Silver F21 rings.

Although it looks very sunny here, it in reality is super windy and cold, therefore am wearing my trusty warm AA cow neck sweater I recently added to my abundant collection of sweaters.  I fell in love with the Secret of Lotus necklace from Urban Natures, and thought it'd add a bit of delicateness and vintage flare to the outfit.  The ivory vinyl bag is one of the many wonderful treasures I've found at my trips to Goodwill.

Holidays are coming around, and wanted to let you lovelies know how to get UN Jewelry in-person.  In addition to the gift of giving, the message behind UN jewelry is all about generosity/giving-back -- they contribute 10% of profit to children in need networking w/ non-profit organizations.  If you're in the LA area, you can purchase Urban Natures jewelry (in cash) at the Freedom & Fashion's Fashion Show in LA Fashion District on Dec. 17th, more details HERE.

I can't believe it's already DECEMBER!  Time flies!  I hope you will have an amazing holiday break!!  Time to eat, have fun with the family, buy presents/holiday-shop, and ice-skate ;) if you can.  Something I really am looking forward to this Christmas, and which can be the best-ever all-time Christmas present for me is..my Grandparents are coming from Texas.  I only get to see them once every year, so I'm beyond excited for their arrival.  What are your plans for the holidays??

Have a lovely rest of your week Beautifuls!  TGIF almost!! :)

♥, Kathleen.

Think Pink.

Light pink Zara sweater, Gold HM necklace, Brown c/o Hobo International Candis crossbody bag, Tan American Apparel chiffon skirt, Tan Mark Report boots, Gold c/o Beginning Boutique bold ruler ring.

So recently received inspiration from one of my all-time style icons, Miss Audrey Hepburn herself...well, from one of her movies:  Funny Face.  A darling (her adjectives are catching on) movie about fashion in Paris (could it get any better?!), and when the opening song, "Think Pink" played, I thought a pink outfit would be nice for once.

And then enters this inspired outfit by all the big pink fiasco.  I recently spotted this sweater back in stock on Zara, and after seeing it beautifully worn by Megan from Donatila Rose and Blair from Atlantic-Pacific, just had to get it.  Dainty and sweet is what sums up this outfit.  I craved sparkle too, and what better way to feed my hunger for sparkle with sparkly knits.  Which btw, I am coveting one sparkly knit from H&M...something about being warm and sparkly for winter is what I'm loving at the moment :).

Happy Saturday and have a lovely rest of your weekend!!

♥, Kathleen.

  

Ribbed gold.

Navy T by Alexander Wang sweater, Black Topshop studded shorts, Ivory Vintage Chanel purse, Black thrifted from Goodwill loafers, Gold c/o Beginning Boutique bold ruler ring, American Apparel Metallic bronze dash nail polish.

I always love finding treasures while thrifting and these black loafer heels have got to be the best yet at my recent visit at Goodwill..because they remind me so much of the A. Wang Emily loafers, priced at about $555..I got mine for about $8!  I've really missed thrifting because there's always this joy inside whenever I find things that are reminiscent of designer items I, as a current college student, simply cannot afford.

I don't know if I've wrote this in my blog yet but not only is Isabel Marant one of my all-time favorite designers, up there too is Alexander Wang.  This past month been saving up, and purchased first T by Alexander Wang item..couldn't resist this gorgeous ribbed pullover from Saks.  It is soo warm, I don't even need a jacket when going out..just throw this on and good ta go.

But oddly, this outfit is not suitable for the cold anyways w/ the shorts..would've put on tights underneath, but was in a rush and did not want to snag them lol.  To top off the outfit is this beeeeautiful Beginning Boutique ring..another inspired-by designer item..reminiscent of YSL's arty ovale..which I too am saving up for.

Btw, I am in looove with this metallic bronze nail polish color from AA, it's a gorgeous brown with a kind of pretty purple undertone.

Changing Lanes.

Dark green Urban Outfitters urban renewal combat jacket, Navy c/o Francesca's Collections Changing Lanes Tee, Gold HM necklace, Light blue Levis curve ID skinny jeans, Silver c/o Rebecca Minkoff circle quilt purse, Tan Steve Madden Grettta heels.

Morning Beautifuls!!  I think my style is ever-evolving, but this outfit sums up what I love..comfort is #1 and secondly, adding pretty feminine touches to the outfit is my fave part with accessories..aka, the Rebecca Minkoff circle quilt M.A.B. mini, Steve Madden Grettta heels, and HM gold necklace.
I found this beautiful jacket in the sale section of Urban Outfitters -- so I went to work early one day and bought it, it's superrr warm and just the right fit, I'm seriously loving all Urban Renewal items.

In addition, the Levis I purchased at the $9.99 sale at the Urban in Berk ;), which is amazingly comfy, I love the idea behind curve ID too!  Lastly, I seriously have to say the striped tee from Francesca's Collections is so soft and so form-fitting, I'm loving the high-low hem.
Something exciting too is happening at Francesca's Collections -- keep on a look out for the launch of their mobile site on December 1st, Thursday, where you can now shop at FC right on your phone!  There will also be a big promo going on that day! :)

This year has gone by so fast, and now we're soon approaching Thanksgiving.  And although I don't celebrate it technically by eating turkey (I'm a pescetarian :p), words cannot explain how much I appreciate you as my readers.  And..if there is something at the very top of my list for things to be thankful for, it of course would be you lovelies!!!  I really want to do a personal giveaway this Thanksgiving, so keep on a look out ;)..gotta search for the perfect item.
Have a lovely week ahead Beautifuls!
