New Year

I hope you guys had an amazing Holiday week.
Having five days off felt so great but still seems so short. I still cannot believe we are only two days away from ringing in the new year. We still don't have any big plans for New Year's Eve celebration (may end up being a low key night), so I don't really have an outfit planned out yet. 2014 has been an amazing year and I hope 2015 will be even better!
 
Thank you so much for stopping by, have a fun and safe NYE celebration, and I will see you guys next year!

XOXO

Blue Holiday

Jacket: Asos (similar,similar) / Dress: Lulu's / Shoes: Sam Edelman / Clutch: Rebecca Minkoff / Necklace: Baublebar
 
 
 Christmas is coming so soon. Only three days away!
I decided to wear this royal blue, backless dress for a Christmas dinner this past weekend. As I was searching for a red dress to wear for the occasion, I ended up with this blue dress instead. Something about the high neck with the low back detailing that keep calling to me. It may not have been the traditional red I was looking for but to me, it was perfect and it would make a great New Year's dress as well.
 
Thanks for stopping by and happy holidays!

White Out

Coat: Victoria Secret (old) (similar) / Dress: French Connection (love this) / Sandals: Old (love these) / Purse: Rebecca Minkoff / Necklace: Baublebar


Only 8 more days until it's Christmas!

Found this beautiful Christmas tree at the City Hall to use as a background to complement the bland colors that is in my outfit today. I'm so excited for Christmas and pretty proud of myself for getting a lot of Christmas shopping done already this year.

Have a great Wednesday!

Star Light, Star Bright


Sweater: Forever 21 (similar/ Leggings: Uniqlo / Boots: Dolce Vita / Scarf: Forever 21 (similar, similar) / Purse: Coach / Watch: Michael Kors / Bracelet: Baublebar

We walked around Downtown Houston on Sunday and saw these nice (unlit) stars. Even though it was not lit up until nighttime, it still made for somewhat a nice, festive background for pictures.
Also, I am loving this lace-trim sweater from Forever21. A few people commented on my good layering skills until I told them that it's just one whole sweater. No layering skills involved here! I kind of regretted not getting it in the other colors before it sold out but I've found an almost exact match (a little pricier but maybe even cuter) from Urban Outfitters that I may be making a purchase very soon.
Hope you guys have a great Monday!

Party Skirt

Top: Asos (old) (similar) / Skirt: c/o Eshakti / Shoes: Zara (similar) / Purse: Coach Penny / Necklace: Baublebar / Cuff: Baublebar (similar)
 
 
 I love this time of year. Everywhere you go, there are twinkling lights and people just seem nicer during the holiday festivities.
As you know, I have developed a small obsession with midi skirts. With the coming of more colder months and all the upcoming holiday events, a longer length skirt or dress would make great options. When Eshakti contacted me about a review on their products, I checked out their website and was immediately interested.
Eshakti is a custom clothing online site, gearing towards real fashion for real people. It allows each person to customize the size and the fit of each piece to their liking so that it will fit perfectly to their body shape and size, and at a very reasonably price point! A lot of the clothes that I purchase are usually sent to the alterations to get that perfect fit (since I'm not very tall). I believe that fashion is not about the cost of the garment but about how well it fits your body. I was immediately drawn to this Jacquard embroidered fabric but had a hard time deciding between the midi skirt or the midi dress style. obviously, I ended up with the skirt since I figured that I can style it many different ways to get  a lot of uses out of this gorgeous skirt. I was even happier when I received the package for many different reasons.
                        - The item came exceptionally fast, considering that it is a custom made item.
                        - The skirt fits me like a glove and the length was perfect (there are side pockets as
                           well!). A midi length garment can make you look short if it cuts you at the
                           wrong length.
                        - The thick jacquard fabric looks and feel even more luxurious in person.
