Plaid, Tartan?

Hello hello! So which is it? Plaid or tartan? I honestly can't tell. All I know is that I love this print in the colder months and that I've found a fun new way to wear it. This top is so incredibly soft and so comfortable, I've been trying to find any occasion to wear it. The length is a little tricky, but the slits on the side keep it from looking too baggy and hobo-chic. I paired it with skinny jeans and a structured jacket to balance out the bagginess of it. Now it's time to find a new way to wear it unbuttoned! :)

Speckled.

Hello hello! I’ve recently been obsessed with this speckled gray coat I got on sale from Zara. There really isn't much of a need for one out here in SoCal, but this one is light enough to wear without overheating. I kept the look simple in my choices of pieces, and left the details in the textures like the jacquard tee. I kept the speckled theme with my current favorite booties! They've got a chunky heel make them so easy to wear. To add more texture, I topped off the look with a fun snake skin print clutch!

Twilight Twinkle.

Hello hello! Took a little walk on the wild side for Day 2 with this fab faux fur leopard coat. I didn’t have too much time to catch the light today, but downtown Denver has twinkle lights everywhere and it was too beautiful not to share. This coat was seriously a lifesaver on this trip. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve definitely noticed. It’s a bit of a standout piece, but I was so excited for chance to actually wear it in some cold winter weather! If you don’t already own one, I suggest investing in one, or a faux fur coat at least. As long as you don’t overdo it, it adds instant glam and warmth to any outfit.

Mile High.

Hello hello! It’s been a while, but I’ve been super busy lately prepping for convention season! I’m currently in Denver, aka the Mile High City, for my first convention of the year. Things got a little hectic, but I was able to snap a couple shots before the sun went down. It’s been a nice change of pace to actually visit a city that has below freezing temperatures during the weather, unlike my sunnier hometown. I’ve finally been able to put some of my heavier winter coats to use! For this convention, I went with a navy blue jumpsuit and my favorite Zara coat. I took a little risk in the cold with my caged flats, but my toesies survived. Can’t wait to share more of my Denver adventures! 

With love,

Wrapped Up.

dress Lulu's / saddle bag DailyLook / booties RoseGold (similar)

Hello hello! Woop woop, first post of 2015! And I'm kicking it off with this new wrap dress I just picked up from Lulu's. Wrap dresses are a staple that belongs in every girl's closet. Not only are they super flattering on almost every body type, but they're also so easy to dress up or down. I took advantage of the lower neckline to show off some off my dainty dangles. The weather  has been quite warm these past couple days, but I made this maxi version a little more cold weather appropriate with some black suede booties. What's your favorite way to wear a wrap dress?

With love,

Patti
