Autumn leaves.

Red c/o StyleMint stripe Winslow T, Brown Karen Walker sunnies, Tan American Apparel corduroy skirt, Vintage Prada backpack, Tan Steve Madden heels, Arm candy: Kurt Geiger chain bracelet, Hexnut bracelet c/o LUXLA, gold thrifted watch, gold ASOS spike bracelet, Pink stone ring via Crossroads Trading, Gold Bauble bar necklace (gifted by BBFF, Chels)

Having fun with fall leaves. The striped Winslow T paired w/ leopard and wine and browns put together, is the perfect way to say bye to Fall, and embrace the new year with winter.  Even though it's now winter, being California, it still feels like Fall to me.  

Had fun making a gif too in the process :).

New Years is just next week, ahh! 2013 came way too fast.  Think I'll post some of my new years resolutions on here then too :).  Hope you lovelies are having a great week so far!

P.S. Blog post title was inspired by Ed Sheeran's song "Autumn Leaves," super cute song if you haven't heard yet! :)

xo,

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.

      

Sweetheart.

Black Obey hat, Black Urban Outfitters moto jacket, Red c/o Nectar Clothing bag, Black c/o Inlovewithfashion.com dress, Black Steve Madden heels, Arm party: Oxblood gifted Kurt Geiger bracelet, Silver c/o Filthy Magic spike bracelet, Silver ring via Crossroads Trading.

I always gravitate toward dresses that have a unique wow factor to them, and this one definitely makes that list.  I love how this Inlovewithfashion.com dress, has sheer sleeves with a sweet-heart cut-out top.  To add to the red floral color, decided to style it with the Nectar Clothing sporty bag.  And I'm all about accessories, so added my favorite Obey hat, to add that cool sporty factor.  To keep it dressy, paired the outfit with strappy heels.

Also, wanted to let you know, Inlovewithfashion.com is giving Inspirafashion readers a 25% discount on your next online order with minimum purchase of $50.  Enter 'Inspirafashion25' at checkout.  Happy shopping lovelies!

I've been so so busy these past few weeks, apologize for the hiatus lovelies.  It being the end of the year with holidays and everything at work, I'm always grateful for the free-time given to me.  Some exciting news though, about a week ago, I worked with amazing SF designer, Alyssa Nicole on styling her Spring '13 lookbook! Can't wait to share the result of the shoot! Also, she's running a sweet giveaway to win the Oxblood Pleated Skirt, be sure to enter here! Show off your Polyvore skills ;).

Ashbury Skies x Inspirafashion Jeffrey Campbell 'Soiree' Shoe Giveaway!

Black HM dress, Gold necklace via Crossroads Trading, Arm candy: Brown c/o Mimi Boutique leopard bracelet, Silver bracelet via Crossroads Trading, Silver c/o Filthy Magic twin spike bracelet, Black c/o Mimi Boutique purse, Black c/o Ashbury Skies Jeffrey Campbell 'Soiree' heels.

Decided I've always wanted to try out the monochrome, all one color trend.  Why not this time go with all-black.  I love how Sarah played with shadows and light in this shoot, it was really so much fun working with her.  In addition, Audrey did such an amazing job with the makeup, dark smokey eye.

From head-to-toe literally all in black colors, with an accent of silvers and golds in jewelry.  Thought it was a subtle way to kind of offset and add to the all-black look, but not overwhelm it.  I layered a blouse underneath the HM dress, and added this cool structured bag.  And the icing on the cake, were these amazing heels from Ashbury Skies.  Which btw, brings me to the exciting part of this post! ..

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.
