Pug Life

     You can't see it...but my t-shirt says "Pug Life"! I love this shirt from Macy's (clearance for about $4) and found it in the men's section a while back. I couldn't resist and I admit that it really doesn't hurt to plow through the men's section for cool graphic tees once in a while. This jacket was also from the men's department in Taiwan. Three of my four jackets I purchased there are actually men's- they just seemed to fit better. The plaid sleeves really caught my attention and it's definitely one of my favorites in my closet right now. The circle skirt from F21 I'm wearing has been featured before many times (like here) and I thought it'd be a cute duo with the graphic tee. 

     Since it's half-Winter and half-Spring in the beautiful city of San Francisco, I threw on some knee high socks from H&M to keep my legs warm from the cold wind. Topped it off with my go-to black Jessica Simpson pumps and you're ready to go for a girls night out :)   

 

Stripes and Bows

Merry Christmas Eve everyone :)  Let the holiday celebrations commence!
      Stripes are such a classic and an attractive pattern. It's a closet favorite for me- when in doubt, a nice striped top with a chunky necklace usually does the trick! This black and white J. Crew top is a simple quarter sleeve that isn't cropped- but it is cut a little short. I love the tiny slits (not pictured) on the side of this top because it gives it a casual feel; it looks really great with any type of blue denim in the summer time! This look was kept in all black and white with this velvety-smooth black skirt from American Apparel (love this skirt) tucked in with the shirt. I always feel cool, classy, and calm whenever I wear black and white.
     For outerwear, (I really need to find more favorite jackets) I fell-back on my Lucky Brand denim jacket because I love the denim with the velvet texture (also shown here). Since I kept the look really simple with neutral colors- I played around with the shoes and these maroon pumps from Charlotte Russe were the winner!  The bow straps on these babies give it a girly touch and maroon is the perfect color to kick off the holiday season. To top it off, my nails were a festive holiday red named Diamonds and Rubies by Sally Hansen and a super cute black and white topcoat from China Glaze called Whirled Away from Beyond Polish. I absolutely loved the result!
