Cozy Chic in a Winter White Cape

Back to life, back to reality…! Ok, now that we have our tea party and flapper outfits in order, let’s get back on track with practical looks for wear to and fro. In today’s rendition of cozy chic, I am showcasing a winter white cape!     Capes are suitable for wear all year long. Whether you are looking for an elegant overcoat, a show stopping dress, or a cardigan to wrap up in, you can probably find a cape to meet your needs. This winter white cape sweater is equivalent to a fashionable snuggie!     There is no need to sacrifice style during the raw months of winter. This hot item from Chicwish will help get you through. Throw it on over a fitted dress, or snuggle up with a pair of jeans. Eager to wear my embroidered boots again, I dressed it with distressed denim for an edgy look. I am already impressed with its versatility! I polished off the ensemble with a black floppy hat, although a beanie would work too. What is your version of cozy chic?!     Winter White Cape | Jeans | Boots | Hat   Thank you to Chicwish for sponsoring […]

Two-Piece Pants Suit for Day or Nighttime Wear

Black on black is a holiday-friendly dress combination. It is simply chic and appropriate both in and out of the office. Add some glitter here, or some sparkle there, and just like that you’re party ready. Read on to find out how I styled this two-piece pants suit for day and nighttime wear.     If you were “blessed” with a petite frame, palazzo pants will do you wonders. They have the same affect as stilts! I never pass up a well fitting pair. It is your lucky day because Current Clothing (415-400-5517) has them in stock and they’re FABULOUS! For a day at the office, I paired them with the crop top from yesterday’s post, and topped it with a short cape blazer. Fast forward to the weekend…     We were invited to a Great Gatsby themed housewarming party. While it would have been the appropriate time to break out the fringe and pearls, I just wasn’t feelin’ it. A cold front moved through the Bay Area and a dress was out of the question. Thanks to Marina William’s Etsy shop, I was able to get another use out of this two-piece pants suit!     Now do […]

Peony Skirt: Tea Party Attire

The only thing better than a fresh bouquet of peonies is a metallic skirt covered in ’em!     Outfit planning is my jam and ideally I like to plan them per the occasion. It makes for a smarter shopping experience. Otherwise, it is like going to the grocery store on an empty stomach! Catch my drift? Although I do not have an event to wear this to, some things are too good to pass up. This peony skirt is of them! The photos do not do it justice. The beautiful metallic jacquard dazzles in the light and the sweeping full skirt is fit for a queen. Good thing my birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks!     As with any statement piece, you do not want to compete with it. I stuck to my own rules and dressed in black accents. The waist is high cut so a bodysuit or crop top is what I recommend. I chose the latter and topped it with a faux fur black stole. This pretty little thing is the only memory I have of my 21st birthday and almost a decade later it is still in style! I completed the […]

Casio Vintage Watch: Your New Favorite

There are some things in life that you need and there are others that you want. Consider a reliable wristwatch a closet necessity! Aside from the aesthetically pleasing advantages of wearing a watch, there are many practical benefits as well. We live in an era where we use our phones for everything – including checking the time. While I am thankful for the workhorse housed in my purse, it is FULL of distractions. My productivity has significantly increased since switching from my phone’s clock to a wristwatch. I am confident that you would experience the same wonderful thing.     Just in time for the holidays, introducing the Casio Vintage Collection, available for purchase exclusively at Bloomingdale’s Union Square. These classic timepieces make the perfect gift for the fashionista in your life that appreciates style and function. This arm candy features a digital display, stop watch, alarm, and LED backlight.

The idea of owning […]
