The Bomber

Bomber Jackets

I have been jealous of Joel’s bomber for years. It appears to be the perfect Fall jacket. Not only does it actually keep you warm, but its style transcends through time.

Here are a few bombers on my shopping list:

Marais USA

Marais USA is my latest obsession. It’s so rare for me to love every item in one brand’s collection, but in this case it’s true. Not only do their shoes speak to me, but the inspiration behind the company is compelling. Here is a bit from their blog’s about page:

Their shoes are classic and sophisticated–yet colorful and distinct. They are a great addition to any outfit, be it simple or extravagant. Check them out:

Spring Wish List: Midi Skirts

I know Spring is still aways away, but I can’t stop dreaming of warmer weather, sunny skies, and longer days. Midi Skirts have been on my wish list for quite sometime now. I mean, all of my favorite bloggers are wearing them:

I think the reason I haven’t gotten around to investing in one is because I haven’t noticed much variety in stores. I prefer to try skirts and dresses on before a purchase, but I think I might just have to take the plunge this season (ordering online), even if it means there is a chance of a return/exchange (ugh).

Here are a few Midi Skirts I have my eyes on:

New Year’s Eve is such a fun time to get dressed up. I love to shop for a new dress to wear for the occasion. The best type of dress to invest in is one that you can wear over and over again. A Little Black Dress never goes out of style.

Here are a few of my favorite LBDs this season:

Sweater or Jacket?

I have been looking everywhere for the perfect sherpa lined denim jacket. Winter has definitely started in San Fransisco, and I realized I don’t have anything that WARM to wear. I’m freezing in the house, and I’m freezing when I leave. Aside from the practical aspect of this piece of outerwear, I have been obsessed with finding this jacket ever since I saw Lorelai Gilmore wearing one:

This jacket was not only the epitome stylish, but also warm enough for the East Coast Winters that Stars Hollow had to bare.

And so, with much research, I found one of my own. Even better than Lorelai’s, I can wear it comfortably indoors because it isn’t actually denim. It is a sweater material that looks like denim! Ever since it arrived on my doorstep last week, there has not been one day that I haven’t been seen living in it:

I have been SO obsessed with Olivia Pope recently. Her aesthetic is killer, and I love everything she represents! Here are some of my favorite looks of hers:

Luckily, The Limited came out with a line inspired by the show last year. I’m a little late to hop on the bandwagon, but better late than never!

The End of Summer

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

I am dreading the end of this season with the beginning of school around the corner.

I decided to wear something that embraced Summertime to its fullest last night–a 1970s babydoll, flower patterned, peasant top.

When I think of Summer, I imagine shorts and wedges, loose fitting blouses, natural hair, and sunglasses.

Trying to grow out my hair has not been easy. I’ve been making an effort to wash it less, try new products, and apply less heat. Fortunately, the dry weather in Grass Valley has been decreasing my hair’s natural tendency to create frizz, allowing me to let it air dry.

I have also been trying to wear shorts as much as possible, because Foggy San Francisco almost never allows it. It has been so much fun to dress up my shorts with heels. I used to fear the fashion-no-no, but now I have embraced it–making my own rules.
