There is something to be said about designer ready to wear clothing. Not only are the quality and fit exceptional, but the service should be as well. The salesperson took one look at me and pulled this dress off of the rack. How did he know that it was just my taste and that it would fit me like a glove?! When I tried it on I was immediately impressed with how well the princess seams shaped my figure and how gracefully the bell sleeves hung. But most of all, the COLOR. The rich teal silk drapes like flowing water. Hopefully these photos do it justice!

Anyway, last Sunday was our five year wedding anniversary, and I wore this YSL dress to commemorate the occasion. Although I bought it in 2013, it never gets old getting dolled up in this beauty – I wear it differently each time. I took a page out of my cousin’s playbook, and accessorized with a fashion turban. I felt so chic! I added a touch of gold with a vintage leaf brooch and Chanel earrings. Needless to say, I fit in perfectly at the rooftop bistro where we dined. Always remember, when in LA, the more drama the better!

If you’re in the downtown LA area, I highly recommend Perch LA for a romantic meal and The Varnish for an after dinner cocktail. P.S. order the truffle fries…

Along with the holiday season comes fabulous festive outfits! Already having dabbled with feathers and sequins, for this seasonal look I was inspired by the whole “ugly Christmas sweater” thing. This black and blue fringe skirt was my Hanukkah version, and I styled it with black accents. The studded turtleneck helped create dimension, while the faux fur cropped jacket added drama – something every special occasion ensemble should have. I accessorized lightly with statement earrings, a cocktail ring, and cupcakes.

Now do you believe me?! The Holographic Leather Statement Fringe Earrings are beautifully crafted out of hand cut leather pieces. Featuring both metallic and matte leather shapes, these dazzlers would pair incredibly well with a high-neck black top and a top knot.

The Abstract Art Painted Leather Clutch is a fashion masterpiece. Constructed out of leather and suede, no need to worry about your precious belongings when toting this sturdy little thing around. Adorned in a bold brush stroke pattern, accented with a tassel keychain – have you ever laid eyes on a cooler clutch?!

How’s this for a pop of color?! The Geometric Bib Necklace will instantly add oomph to your day or nighttime ensemble. I could of used this stunner with my Orange Trapeze Dress! The multi-colored design gives you many outfit options and the antique brass chain creates an elegant touch.
