Black & (Mustard) Yellow

     I been wanting a leather (pleather) skirt for such a long time and I finally had time to really go look for one this past week! I had a one hour shopping break from finals and I needed to de-stress...at the mall.
     This look was pretty straight forward. The focus was to be on this Forever 21 asymmetrical skirt. The zipper detailing really caught my eye and for this skirt, I actually went a size up (small to medium) just because I didn't want it to be too short. The top is also from Forever 21 and it's a F21 Basic that was priced at about $7! Such a steal for a beautifully colored turtleneck. I've worn this countless time over the course of 3 years (yes, I've had it for that long) and it hasn't faded or pilled- I am impressed :)
     Threw on a scarf because it wasn't too cold, but it was windy. This scarf was a hand-me-down so I'm not particularly sure where it's from, but I found similar ones here. I don't know about you guys, but I tuck my hair into my scarves when it gets windy to keep it from flying everywhere! Seeing that it was an unusually sunny day in SF, I welcomed my Ray Bans back (also featured here with Mickey Mouse). Keeping the pleather theme, my Jessica Simpson pumps were the quintessential piece to finish the look.


Keeping myself cozy



I felt like a bumblebee here with no scarf!

Black Glitter

     It is finally Thanksgiving break which means I'm home and so are all my best friends from high school. It's always an amazing time to catch up with old friends and it seems that every time we meet up, our lives have changed drastically. So for tonight's Ladies Night Out, I wanted to go a bit more dressy since we were doing a nice dinner. For some reason, I always go for all black on these occasions! 
     This black Brandy Melville dress has a very slight velvet feel but isn't exactly velvet. It is a soft cotton material and with a very feminine shape that shows off your waistline. I hesitated with outerwear and ended up grabbing this cotton moto jacket from Charlotte Russe. With these glitter polka dott tights from J. Crew Outlet, they definitely gave the outfit the warm holiday feel.  Knowing me, I need some type of bright color or sparkles to stand out ;) 
     As for my feet, it is getting quite cold in the East Bay so what better way to keep toasty than a pair of socks from Target? There is definitely room for a pop of color in this all black look for a pair of hot pink feet warmers! Slip on a pair of heels (also Charlotte Russe) and you're good to go! Love this look for a girls night out (like me tonight) or any fancy night out!


Glitter tights and pants!

& my unruly hair!

Mickey Mouse x F21

     If I could, I would have Disney everything. Truthfully, the mere thought of going to Disneyland brings me to squeal like a little girl. I love the stories, the atmosphere, the characters- it's just so all magical to me :)
     Naturally, when I saw that Forever 21 had a Disney collection, I HAD to have just one or two (or five..) pieces. This one that I'm wearing here is actually reversible (they had a blue one too)! That definitely caught my attention. How many reversible sweaters can you find nowadays? I wanted to roll up the sleeves to showcase that the inside had a quirky cartoon print and an even more awesome thing about this sweater is that it is SO soft and warm- feels like a pillow/comforter. I was feeling extra 80's this particular morning and went with these Forever 21 stretchy denim pants (on clearance $3.99!) with leather and side zipper detailing by the ankle
     Finished the look off with some platform pleather heels by Jessica Simpson from Nordstrom Rack, Ray-Ban original Wayfarers, and a super messy high ponytail and I am ready to storm the world: calm, cool, collected.
