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!

Oxblood.

Dark brown jacket c/o Bebe, Gold spike necklace c/o Jeweliq, Black 'Celine Dion' shirt, Oxblood gifted Alyssa Nicole skater skirt via Chictopia Rewards, Brown 'Love' bracelet c/o Buy Love Give Love, Brown Cheetah clutch c/o DAAME, Brown Zara sandal heels, Rings: Bauble Bar ring gifted by the boyfriend :), Gold arrow ring via Crossroads Trading.

Ever since last Fall season for fashion trends, one that has stuck with me was the 'Oxblood' trend. Funny how the name of that color is so graphic, but its beginning to become my favorite color for Fall.  I fell in love with this skate skirt because of how feminine yet unique with the sheer overlay.  Designer Alyssa Nicole created such a beautiful silhouette and piece. This outfit is more on the edgier side with darker colors, a biker jacket, and a spike necklace for accessories.  I decided to add a pop of print to the outfit with the cheetah clutch.  Again, a transitional Fall outfit, but I'll definitely be living in cozy sweaters this Fall / Winter seasons.

Hope you lovelies have been doing well! Woo, Happy Friday! Longest week ever, but I really feel like I'm doing well in all the tasks and projects I've had at my job.  It's all a learning experience, but I'm happy I'm moving in the right direction.  

Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead! I'm celebrating both my little brother's and boyfriend's birthdays this Sunday.  I surprised them with tickets to the Niners game! Doing a tail-gate party beforehand.  It'll be their first time going, can't wait to go (my first time too!).

Keep inspiring Beautifuls!

Tan American Apparel cropped top (cute dark red version here), Silver c/o t+j Designs rhinestone collar necklace, Vintage Chanel crossbody purse, Tan c/o Filthy Magic skirt, Nude Zara sandal heels (similar style here), Gold ring via Crossroads Trading, Gold crown ring c/o Charlotte Russe.

Cropped tops will probably be a big part of my wardrobe for this fall, or any other season for that matter. I couldn't get enough too of this rhinestone collar necklace from t+j Designs, I decided to let it shine as the main accessory for this outfit, keeping all the other pieces neutral and light.  I haven't worn these Zara sandals in a while, but I love how the heel isn't that high and it has a simple silhouette. A simple outfit with some pretty flowers in the background.
