Happy Tuesday everyone! The weather here in California has kept me bundled up the last few days so I figured it was the perfect time to talk about layering your clothes in a fun and exciting way. I have always been a girl who loves to pile on the layers when it comes to styling outfits. Winter cool weather makes it easy to integrate several layers into one look. I enjoy pulling outfits together that tell a story. For example, I like that this look is a bit country but also has a strong rock & roll vibe. Don’t be afraid to mix it up, try something new and experiment. Fashion should be fun!

Style Tip #1:

If you’re not sure where to start, try sticking to a color family/palette which will help tie your look together. Neutrals are one of the easiest ways to accomplish this in a snap. I focused on black & grey tones for this outfit. My plaid vest shines because it is the only cream & patterned piece of clothing I am wearing. If you want a specific piece to standout, try this method.

Style Tip #2:

Mixing different textures and patterns not only adds interest to your outfit, it can give some of your most loved pieces a new look entirely. My outfit contains fringe, velvet, suede & beading. So again ,I say, mix it up.

Rainy Day Resolutions

This year I have made it a mission to get outside more. So often these days it’s far too easy to just plop down on the couch with some snacks, snuggle up in bed for a Netflix marathon or go online for hours at a time without realizing it. I am especially guilty of these lazy day routines on the weekends and I want to change it up in 2017. Since I live in California, there really is no excuse for not enjoying the outdoors more often.

With all the rain we have been getting lately (which I’m loving,) I jumped at the chance to bring out my bubble umbrella from Kate Spade! This umbrella is very durable, goes with any outfit & the “Rain Check” thought bubble is freaking adorable. I’m hoping it will get me out walking around my neighborhood more.

Outfit Details:

Goodnight Macaroon is an online retailer that has been all over the bloggers of Instagram. Their “Gabriella” sweater pictured above is my personal favorite sweater on their site. The laced details on the neckline & sleeves are super on trend. I always get complimented when I wear it. They have several color options available & I purchased it in the olive green too.

Savings Tip:

I would highly highly recommend signing up for email notifications because they do a lot of sales and online promotions. They currently have a clearance sale running as well as free shipping with a $100 purchase.

Check out their site: Goodnight Macaroon

Staple Items in my Closet:

Burberry Heritage Scarf

Topshop Destroyed Denim

Steve Madden Emotions Stretch Over the Knee Boots

Style Tip:

Including a fun hat or hair accessory is a lovely way to add interest to your outfit. I ordered my beanie from Forever 21 a while ago but I found the cutest Etsy shop that makes a bunch of gorgeous veiled beanies and the quality looks fantastic!

Sweater Weather

We have entered that time of year when all I want to do is live in comfortable, snuggle worthy sweaters. Southern California has been cold enough the last few months to bust out all the winter wear, so my sweaters are consistently front and center in my closet. I say keep the rain & cool days coming!

Outfit Details:

BP. Mock Neck Shaker Sweater

Miu Miu Pave’ Havana Sunglasses

Steve Madden Jillyy Platforms

Flying Tomato Wide Leg Trouser Jeans (old)

I found similar jeans here, here, & a petite option here.

Brand Spotlight:

I love clothing that is stylish, versatile, well made & doesn’t break the bank. The brand BP. at Nordstrom (Brass Plum for us longtime Nordstrom fanatics,) is not only affordable it’s always on trend. Check out their current sweater selection here.

Baublebar has become a go-to shopping spot for accessories. While it is fashion jewelry, the customer service and packaging are top notch. This necklace was on constant rotation during the holidays. I dressed it up and down, pairing it with slinky dresses for holiday parties & with more casual outfits like jeans & a sweater.

Baublebar Corona Ring

I’ve linked the current ring selection available on the BaubleBar website here .

ShopBop has a similar (18k gold) & beautiful (gosh now I want it too,) dome ring here.

Happy New Year Everyone! I’m personally looking forward to a busy and productive 2017. What do you think 2017 has in store for you? Let me know!
