I am in love with this polka dotted peplum top

I'm also loving my new black skinny jeans that are from Jigsaw London,

Blogging Hiatus

WOW! Blogging community, how have you been??

I have been very, very busy with life:

took a fabulous trip to Asia, got a wonderful boyfriend, and started at an awesome new job!

So, in other words, life has changed a lot!!

I am loving all these new changes, 

although it makes it very difficult to blog in between. 

I have been keeping up with my outfit posts though, through my Instagram account.

(FOLLOW ME!)

Here are some looks that I wore during the fall and winter months. 

Is it seriously December??!

Falling Back on White

Sweater: Margaret O'Leary; Embellished Tee: Mom's Vintage, circa 1980s; White Jeans: United Colors of Benetton; Studded Flats: Steve Madden; Bag: Forever21: Bow: Forever21; Hoops & Sunnies: Nordstroms

I can't stand fashion rules, especially the no white after Labor Day rule. 

I love wearing white, so effortlessly chic. 

There are definitely ways to wear white throughout the year,

and here is a fall version!

Fall Layers

Floral Cut Out Dress: Forever21; Polka Dot Button Up: Madewell; Polka Dot Tights: H&M; Green Oxford Shoes: Banana Republic; Leather Hand Bag: Vintage Coach; Ring: Vintage; Leather Belt: Vintage

I love the warm weather that comes with the summer months, 

but I'm ready from some cooler fall weather, 

which means one thing: layers!

I love layering clothes

because it's so interesting to see the different kinds of textural combinations that you can create. 

The weather is (obviously) still beautiful in California, 

so there was no need to layer a jacket. 

Instead, I layered this floral cut out dress over my staple polka dot button up, 

finishing the look with a pair of polka dot tights. 

Can't wait for fall to officially hit...

I have so many jackets that are dying to get out of my closet!

Leo Forever

       

Army Green Coat: Margaret O'Leary; Leo Print Dress: Sway; Sandals: Steve Madden; Color Block Clutch: Madewell; Jewelry: Vintage

I cannot believe it's already mid September. Crazyyy. 

Just got this leo printed dress from Sway, 

and I'm in love with it. 

Leopard print is always a good staple to have on hand. 

A very special thanks to my sister,

 who took these pics.
