Red & Blue Chevron!

      As November rolls to an end and Winter really comes along(get ready for the fog San Franciscans!), I'm hurrying to enjoy the remaining sunny days we get here in San Francisco. Luckily on this beautiful day in SF, Ryan Chua (le photographer) and I caught a break! This is look #2 for Charlotte Russe; I absolutely love wearing stripes so naturally, I very much enjoy chevron patterns too! It just goes so well with everything. The pattern looks like a zigzag to create definition and and really attracts the eyes to focus on the piece. Add any chevron item to your outfit to make any outfit stand out from the crowd ;)     
     This Charlotte Russe dress is super soft at an amazing price point. The quarter sleeve and cotton blend is just right for the San Francisco weather- it definitely kept me warm while wandering the streets of SF :) My favorite stand-out color to wear is red (it's just so bold & sexy!) and since it's nearing the end of Fall, this deep red & dark blue chevron is a great contrast!
     The shoes. These amazing shoes! Gladiator styles or any shoe with excessive laces or straps are made for me- I can't resist them! I loved these peep toe lace-up heels, it was the perfect partner for this piece. To complete the look for this dress- gold and black accessories were the way to go! To keep the color palette simple for the loud dress, I went with a gold and black plated statement necklace and a gold & black bangles set (all from Charlotte Russe).

Such a comfortable dress!

So soft :)

A Pop of Color

         I love bold colors! Neon anything always stands out in a crowd and I love that pop of color for any outfit. It was one of those rare sunny days in San Francisco so of course I had to take advantage and dress nicely for the weather. Pops of bright pink, yellow, or green to any darker hues really brighten up my mood especially since it's Hump Day. And just on a side note, all the pieces in this outfit were under $15! :)

   This neon knit sweater was sitting in the back of my closet begging to be taken out for a spin in the sun. I paired this with a simple circle skirt from Forever 21. And since it is San Francisco , I wanted to keep warm with these knee high socks that came in two pairs from H&M. For an added flare, I love these chevron laced booties from Charlotte Russe with the neon sweater- they were cute and super comfortable! 

       

                        Love the print of this pullover!                                       

    

                                                    Comfortable, chic, and affordable booties! :)

Menswear!

     The selection of menswear button up shirts are definitely more diverse than women's- that's why sometimes I enjoy shopping in the men's (usually sale ;) ) section! I just feel like there is a lot more diversity & options to choose from.

     I came across this comfy cotton button up from VANS and fell for the big, bold colors! Maroon and purple have really been catching my eye lately especially for the Fall season. Wanted to go comfortable for the weekend so I paired it with outside stitched leggings from 2020ave and an oversized tank from hurley with a black lace bandeau from Nordstrom Rack (great for brand name clothes at a discount price). Since we were wandering around and exploring the area, I opted for climbing and adventuring with combat boots! These ones are super durable, chic, and only around $20 at Marshalls! And to top it off (harhar) I threw a basic black beanie from F21on because as usual, I never know what to do with my not-long-not-short hair. 

     Anyhow, this look is perfect for venturing out to the middle of no where and for fun adventures whenever you're out and about! Happy wandering!

Aztec Bodycon Dress

     Went to Davis this weekend to visit my sister and the weather was perfect there! I wanted to take the chance to shoot in nice weather before heading back to SF. This body con Aztec print dress from Urban Outfitters was perfect! It could definitely be easily dressed down or up with a pull over crew neck sweater with sandals or flats or dress it up with a pair of heels like what I did :)

     I decided to do a more dressy look that could be for a date night or a special event! Since Winter is coming, I wanted to keep a leather jacket on for warmth and this gray one from Pink Stripes (San Jose Santana Row) was perfect! Paired with a pair of maroon heels from Forever 21 for a pop of color and a Aztec-y gold necklace I got from Taiwan a couple summers ago- you're all set for a night (or day) out!

Lumberjack Layers.

     It's the end of the Fall and it has been super windy in San Francisco! For me, I get cold super easily so I love love love layers! Felt like a lumberjack with my three layers for warmth hahaha. It was so windy I felt like the trees were going to get blown away! I thought I might savor the last few days of Fall before Winter comes along and I go into hibernation mode.

     I wanted to make sure I kept toasty with all my layers so I went with a cotton high low quarter sleeve from zara, a plaid button up from a&f, and a denim jacket from luckybrand. Since I was going to work, comfort is key so my bottoms were stretchy legging pants from h&m. These booties from shoe dazzle are super cute and would definitely be great for a casual night out or date night! They are definitely going to be a new favorite of mine :)

Little Black Dress!

Not many people have heard of the brand MAJE but it's actually quite cute! The brand is based in Paris, France and actually has a sister store named SANDRO. I've been quite into their stuff recently so I thought I'd post my favorite MAJE dress here!
This little black dress can be dressed up or down. I decided to do a more casual street wear look with minimal accessories and some strappy cheetah heels to play it up a bit. The giant zipper and the school girl pleats were such a cute detail to this dress. The neoprene material forms great to any body shape and really gives the skirt a firm fit-n-flare at the bottom!

Suspenders, Leather, & Plaid!

Leather detailing is such a great detail to add to simple looks such as this one! The plaid shirt with the leather pocket detailing is so versatile and a great look to this season- I love it! This look could definitely be done with a smaller mens button up as well; I find that mens button ups seem to have more variety of prints than women's button ups.

This MAJE leather skirt with suspenders was such a cute detail to add to a simple skirt, I felt like it really brought the outfit together! It could be dressed up with some heels or boots (booties too!) but I decided to keep it casual with a pair of sandro sneakers to make it fun and comfortable. :)

Girls Night Out!

This dress is perfect for a girls night out! Stripes, mesh, and circle skirts are totally trending right now and this has it all- the black and white definitely complement each other in this fun dress :)

The outfit was paired with a simple black clutch and my go-to suede black heels!

Of course, everything I wore was from the awesome charlotte russe! Always cheap & super chic!
