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!

Leopard and paisley.

Burgundy HM hat (similar brown version here), Black Urban Outfitters velvet moto jacket (similar version here), Brown c/o Others Follow paisley dress, Brown gifted Kurt Geiger leopard satchel (cute similar version here), Navy blue Madewell suede boots.

When I saw this dress from Others Follow, I seriously was blown away by all its beauty, firstly with the gorgeous paisley pattern, and secondly the feminine pretty silhouette with the trumpet hem.  The dark brown color is so perfect for fall, so I decided to transition it with all fall colors, keeping the palette neutral -- a burgundy (or oxblood) hat, leopard satchel, dark navy blue suede boots.  Lastly, I decided with the cold coming, it'd be perfect to try out the moto jacket trend -- here layered it over the dress as well.

I really feel my style goes so well with Fall fashion, which is why I'm excited to start wearing tights, boots, jackets, and sweaters more this season.

Happy Monday lovelies! Hope you have a great start of the week. Few things happening this week for me, catching up with friends for belated birthday outings, boxing (with my partner in crime Chanda), few gala fashion parties, and then the weekend! 

Keep inspiring Beautifuls!

But loving him was red.

Burgundy red c/o StyleMint Armstrong Blouse, Gold name necklace via Isle of Agape, Black Madewell high-waisted jeans, Brown Steve Madden sandals, Ivory Coach satchel, Black Ray-Ban Avaiators.

So I've noticed once I gravitate toward something in fashion, I go overboard, 2 years ago it was all about sweaters, this past year it was about definitely all about oxblood, burgundy.  It is now carrying over to the new year, but who could blame the trend? it's soo pretty!  I love this StyleMint Armstrong Blouse, and the rich red color.  Paired it with neutral accessories, brown sandals and my favorite Coach satchel (reminds me of Celine, until I can afford the real one).

Then paired it off also with my high-waisted comfy Madewell jeans.  Rarely do my Ray-Ban's get love, so decided to wear them out too.

Can't believe it's 2013!  I'm still having trouble remembering to write down the "3," I always end up correcting the 2 with an extra squiggle on the bottom.  So I'm pretty excited about 2013, especially with my travel plans, planning on the main 3: Vegas, LA, and NYC!  Can't wait!  

Hope you Beautifuls had an amazing weekend, Happy Sunday!

P.S. The blog title refers to Taylor Swift's song "Red," which btw I am obsessed with that album!  It's amazing, and I can't wait to attend the concert next year with my Bestie! :)

Comfy cozy.

Light pink Urban Outfitters Urban Renewal cropped cable-knit sweater, Dark blue Madewell jean leggings, Brown thrifted bucket bag, Tan suede Steve Madden Grettta heels, Silver F21 rings.

Fall weather has finally arrived, I am super excited to start layering.  Cold weather is just more fun to me, esp for letting out neglected jackets, coats, pants, tights, and the list can go on.  I especially love this time of year because Starbucks released their holiday cups, so so excited for Christmas to come already.  The Christmas lights, trees, music, even down to the little stockings we put up every year...k, excuse me as I am very sentimental about this particular holiday.

To keep me cozy and warm in this weather, I've particularly fallen in love with this Urban Renewal cable-knit cropped sweater from Urban Outfitters.  It is thee perfect length, I love how they revamped a vintage piece by cropping it.  I paired it with my comfy new suede Grettta heels from Steve Madden -- it passed my shopping test!  4 hours+, and my feet did not hurt one bit..ok I admit, I had little ball-of-foot pads underneath, but hey, they still were superr comfy for 5-inch heels.

Comfortable is the main adjective for this outfit, another comfort factor: new Madewell jean leggings (sry, I kind of get annoyed by the term jeggings haha).  I've always wanted to try the jean + heel combo, hopefully I did it justice.

Keep inspiring Beautifuls with all your amazing looks (fashion eye candy all over the place) and have a lovely week ahead!! <3

Velvety fall.

White American Apparel floral jumper, Brown Madewell velvet shorts, Black c/o Lancaster Paris Best Friend crossbody clutch, Silver F21 accessories, Tan Aldo ankle boots.

This outfit sums up all these new items recently added to my wardrobe, and I'm currently obsessing over.  Firstly, my AA floral jumper the loovely boyfriend got me for my 21st bday.  Secondly, these aaamazin velvet shorts from Madewell -- a gift from my oh so lovely roomie Kaylie (who is so stylish as well, im trying to get her to make a blog! lol), third, my Aldo booties are SO freakin comfortable and remind me oh so much of the Acne boots I sadly can't afford, best thrifty option ever! :)  And lastly, the Lancaster Best Friend  clutch really has the best name ever, because it is my Best Friend when I need a quick handy clutch to bring w/ me to parties, out w/ the girls, shopping etc. -- aamazingly carries in its small size, all my necessities: phone, sunglasses, debit/credit cards, keys, ipod.

Paired this fall outfit with silver accessories -- as you can tell I am addicted to wearing silver cuffs..a la Aladdin's genie lol.  So off topic, there has been this straange heat wave, allowing me to wear shorts, but in all honesty, I can't wait for cold and layering and moore layering..Fall is the perfect time to get dig and wear out more of my clothes (bad idea for my shopaholic self).
