Autumn.

Brown Urban Outfitters beanie, Dark brown c/o Bebe contrast moto jacket, Ivory vintage Chanel clutch, White Urban Outfitters lace top (similar here), Bordeaux American Apparel maxi skirt, Black Zara heels, Accessories: Gold c/o Beginning Boutique ring, gold arrow ring via Crossroads Trading.

I am embracing the Fall season with open arms. Beanies, jackets, layering, knits, wine/bordeaux, are just a few of my favorite things about dressing for my favorite season (check out more of my inspiration in my Autumn board on Pinterest). In addition, Autumn is so lovely with pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin bread ;).  

Hope you lovelies will have a safe and fun halloween (for the weekend, I was minnie) ;), can't believe it's coming up already, time flies! Have a wonderful week ahead Beautifuls!

Kathleen.

      

Bask in the sun.

White c/o Beginning Boutique lace dress, Red c/o Casper&Pearl floral headband, Blue vintage Levis denim vest, Arm candy: Silver vintage watch, TJ Maxx pyramid bracelet, Black/silver F21 rings, Silver ring via Crossroads Trading,  Brown Zara buckle heels.

Took advantage once again of this beautiful sunny weather, more of basked in the sun haha.  This dress from Beginning Boutique sums up the perfect combination of all things beautiful, lace, bow, and pretty silhouette. Decided to add to the sweetness with my CandP floral headband; a la Lana Del Rey ;). To toughen up the look, added my vintage Levis jean vest and buckle heels.  Always find my style reflects some type of irony..voila, edgy and girly.

Currently, commuting to work on BART, I naturally fell in love with w/ this new iphone app: spotify, I have so many playlists now! Random fun fact? I'm a movie and music fanatic.

Anyways Beautifuls hope your weeks are going well! Friday's tomorrow! ;D

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.

This past week has been great, I feel like I'm getting more productive with my work life.  Some fun things are in store for the blog and can't wait to share!  I hope you lovelies are having a great weekend!  Keep inspiring Beautifuls.

Sunkissed.

Black knit sweater via Crossroads Trading, Brown Brandy Melville dress, Gold H&M necklace, Brown leopard belt via Target (similar here), Arm candy: Gold vintage watch, Brown hexnut leather bracelet c/o LUXLA, Gold ASOS spike bracelet, Bordeaux Zara clutch c/o Hobo The Original, Gold arrow ring via Crossroads Trading, Black Steve Madden heels.

So I was soaking up the sun, or more so, every bit of summer I can get until its really gone -- the bay area has received a sweet present lately with this indian summer.  But I have also been gladly embracing the Fall season especially with fashion -- bordeaux is my all-time new fave color.  The color has even made it into my now faave bag from Hobo The Original -- this Zara leather clutch is the perfect size.  I recently took it along with me during my bday party, all essentials fit inside -- key, id/credit cards, lipstick, iPhone etc. 

Also, happy to introduce my new beloved heels from Steve Madden.  They're simple and sweet -- definitely my style.

Hope you lovelies are doing well! As with life, I'm starting to get into the groove of things with work as well as juggling my love for fashion (and trying to pursue my dream job of styling).  The last two posts have shown some very exciting things happening with that :).  Collaborated with my favorite stores, Saks Fifth Avenue in a Blogger styling competition and T.J.Maxx + Refinery29 for a shopping feature.  

So happy to now also share I'm going to be a part of (and also alongside other beautiful SF bloggers!) a Macy's Union Square Fall Trend Event hosted with Mandi Line, wardrobe stylist of TV Show, Pretty Little Liars!  (My guilty pleasure show!) ;). We'll be interpreting a trend we've been assigned with her onstage.

See details below.  If you're in SF, Saturday October 6th, would mean so much to see you Beautifuls there! PS. Even more exciting, if you mention my blog Inspirafashion upon arrival, you'll be able to get a $10 Macy's gift card! :)

Thanks so much again lovelies for all your amazing support.  Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

♥, 

Kathleen.

    

Refinery29 + T.J.Maxx Feature!

I was browsing on Refinery29 this morning (while BARTing to work) and saw the name "Kathleen Murillo," I thought to myself -- wow so crazy someone has the same name as me?!  Took a closer look, and the feature I collaborated with both Refinery29 and T.J.Maxx was up and running on the site! (am so happy to finally share with you lovelies this feature!) Looking through it, I was so pleased and excited on how everything turned out and came together.  Big shout-out & hugs to the amazing team behind this, Refinery29 NY and SF, Katie, Molly, Katie (Nash), Kei -- had such a fun time working with you beauties!

Stop by Refinery29 to see more of the feature, with my shopping/style tips and how to peruse through the wonderful (and stylish) ;) aisles of T.J.Maxx!  

Happy Friday and TGIF!
