There's something timeless about pairing soft pastels and neutral tones. It seems to be my go-to color palette this winter. These stone colored sling back pumps can be paired with jut about anything. Put it all together, and you've created an effortlessly chic, comfortable look! Complete this California, winter style with the perfect Julep manicure, choosing from an assortment of nail polish colors. See below for a step-by-step tutorial using the ones I chose to "polish," off this look!
If you're anything like me, you are two things. One, you go wherever you need to go prepared and two, being comfortable is a priority. My roommate in college was all of the above. So much in fact, that when we'd leave the house for a frat party, she'd throw a roll of toilet paper in her purse. (No judgement.) At any rate, what I'm trying to get at here is that you need a pair of Tieks. Aka, the cute little flats that I'm wearing in this post. They fold up nice and small, and fit right in your bag! In case you're out one night in your highest pair of heels, you can take these bad-boys to go and throw em' on when your feet start to hurt. (That, or you can just wear them because they're adorable.) Make sure to check out their site for an assortment of colors! They are super comfy and fit true to size.
Now that we've got your holiday shopping shoes all figured out, you're going to need the perfect tote bag; for gifts, that soon-to-be empty wallet of yours, and the naughty or nice list. I absolutely love this Gigi NY Taylor Tote. It is such a timeless piece, made with real leather; the perfect size for travel, work, or play. See below for different colors and styles!
I'm excited to be pairing up with Dora Landa to share with you, their amazing line! This look in particular was put together based around Dora Landa's, black bomber jacket with leather sleeves. Lightweight, sleek, and comfortable, it's easy to pair with a casual, breezy dress. It transitions perfectly from day to night.
Find this jacket along with many other gems on their website here! "With fashion-forward prints and sophisticated bold looks, bright hues or sleek monochromatic colors, there’s something for every woman to look and feel her best. The beautiful pieces are cut from the finest all-natural silk to give a truly luxurious look with comfort to match. They can be worn day or night, office meeting to cocktail party, and everywhere in between."
Although Black Friday and Cyber Monday are behind us, there are still TONS of sales going on today! Be sure to get cracking on your holiday shopping, and take advantage of these awesome deals!
This will be my first year celebrating the holidays on the West Coast. It's funny, since the weather doesn't ever really change here, it's hard to decipher seasonal transitions. I'm used to throwing on layers upon layers, fuzzy boots, and scarfs. This year is different. Lightweight skirts and small staple embellishments are all you really need for a 75 degree winter. This French Connection embellished jacket from Piperlime is the perfect, lightweight staple for the holidays. I paired it with a simple, cozy, jersey tee by Splendid. Not too dressy, yet not too casual!
Don't forget to make your lists, check them twice, and get your shopping done in style with the amazing Gigi NY wallet and planner too. Happy shopping!
