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!

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! :)

J'adore.

Gold Bauble Bar collar necklace (c/o Bday prez from Chelsea of Zipped), Pink striped sweater via Crossroads Trading, Black HM skirt, Brown c/o Hobo The Original crossbody bag, Arm candy: gold vintage watch, gold ASOS spike bracelet, brown c/o LUXLA hexnut bracelet, Plum Zara heels.

My love for stripes continues. I find that every season I fall in love with a particular trend and end up buying multiple pieces of that trend that catch my eye, this one in particular from Crossroads Trading.  The thing with trends though, I try to incorporate in my everyday style.  I can't get over pairing something so slouchy, like a sweater with something classic and sharp like this cool asymmetric hem skirt.

The necklace is my all-time fave -- rhinestone perfection. I received it in the mail from my lovely BBFF (best blogger friend forever) Chelsea from Zipped. We have this tradition of sending each other bday presents every year, also bc coincidentally we have the same bday :).

I liked pairing the sweater with my new beloved Zara heels, they're the perfect height for comfort -- and the color is simply amazing: plum/wine.
