Weekend Outfit Inspiration

Come Friday afternoon, there are three nights and two days full of possibilities, so why not seize those moments as possibilities for great fashion?

 

it's a great time to break away from work uniforms, and what people expect you to be during the week, and dress in what makes you, yourself!

 

 

so here are three weekend inspired outfits

 

 

 

Outfit 1. Friday Night

 

 



 

spread your wings Friday night with a sequin top and high-waisted black skinnies. pair this look with a geometric pendant, and fringed booties for a boho vibe, and to stay warmer since its chilly at night, throw on a black cocoon cardigan to finish off your look.

 

 

Outfit 2. Saturday Brunch

 

 

 

 

 

waking up Saturday is a drag, all you want to do is sleep in, but planning a fun brunch and wearing your comfies makes up for it. pair an oversized t-shirt with a flannel and leggings to stay warm, but still chic. a knit infinity scarf and boots will make the look more put together.

 

 

Outfit 3. Sunday Hangout

 

 

 

 

keep your sunday look cozy and cute, you can take your look from church to lunch to afternoon hangout quite easily. pair a knit dress with an oversized cardigan for a laidback look that's still girly and cute. pair tights and oxford flats to finish off this feminine look.

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed

 

Have a fantastic weekend!

 

 

Much Love

Fall Colors

i don't know about you, but autumn is my favorite time of year, not just because of the pumpkin spice lattes, but because of all the rich colors. they're so pretty and elegant, that I can't help but be inspired.

 

so I am putting together three looks inspired by fall colors that I love!

 

 

 

Outfit 1. Classically Cognac

 

 

it may seem slightly out of your comfort zone, but coated skinnies are super trendy right now, and a pair of cognac coated skinnies? tres chic! to keep these pants from getting too outrageous, pair them with simple classic pieces in your wardrobe. a black and white striped shirt and grey cardigan will balance out the boldness of the pants nicely, while a red-orange scarf adds just a simple pop of color but in the same color family. finish off with a simple pair of black flats.

 

 

Outfit 2. Ravishing Reds

 

 

again expanding your horizons of fashion, but cranberry booties will surprisingly carry you very far in terms of your wardrobe, its one of those classic fall colors that will always be trendy. pair these bold boots with a grey knit jersey dress for a simple silhouette. a cranberry cardigan will help keep you warm. don't worry about matching the exact shade to your boots, a variation of this shade is kind of cool. finish off the look with a geometric pendant.

 

Outfit 3. Obviously Olive

 

 

 

 

 

olive is perhaps one of my all time favorite colors. I love how natural and effortless it makes any outfit. so for this casual look pair a light brown sweater under a olive green button down, treat the button down as you would a light layering jacket. pair this with grey skinnies for a more laid back vibe. again pair a geometric pendant to add some detailing, and finish off with a pair of olive green booties.

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed. I love being inspired by all the autumnal colors!!

Sweater Weather Tag!

it's November!

 

and what better way to kick it off than with a tag all about sweater weather!!

 

 

 

lets get started!

 

 

 

Questions!
1. Favorite candle scent?

 

spiced pumpkin by yankee candle! of course! it literally smells like pumpkin pies are baking, and thanksgiving!

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?

 

 

I would say coffee, but I drink more tea and than I do coffee. Particularly peppermint tea when its extra cold outside!

3. What's the best fall memory you have?

 

I love the feeling of fall, I remember as a kid being so excited, because of the holidays, and the fall smells. there's no particular memory, only of loving the fall season.

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner?

 

 

both! a simple cat eye looks great with a dark lip. I know people say that you should do one or the other, but sometimes your make-up can look unfinished, so a small cat eye with a dark lip is a perfect compromise.

5. Best fragrance for fall?

 

if you guessed miss dior, you guessed right, its my favorite go to fall scent!

6. Favorite Thanksgiving food?

 

 

cranberry sauce! I eat maybe a little too much on thanksgiving! its that good!

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?

 

 

its chilly in San Francisco, but not intolerable. the leaves turn yellow, and I get to amuse myself by stepping on all the crunchy ones, and I can get away with a sweater and a scarf. no major bundling to go outside.

8. Most worn sweater?

 

 

probably my black and white tribal printed sweater. its oh-so hipster, but it keeps me warm too!

9. Must-have nail polish this fall?

 

Navy polish is a definite must have! its super trendy this season, and its a great change from the norm.

 

and of course a deep wine color, its so chic, and a perfect hue for fall!

10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?

 

 

um duh!

11. Skinny jeans or leggings?

 

 

definitely leggings, I like being comfy!

12. Combat boots or Uggs?

 

 

neither... I like a nice pair of riding boots

13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?

 

 

 

most definitely! its so good that I wait in anticipation all year long!

14. Favorite fall TV show?

 

 

i'd have to say survivor, I've been a dedicated fan since the beginning, and I always look forward to my Wednesday nights!

15. Favorite Fall Fashion Accessory?

 

 

a leopard print scarf! because it keeps me warm, and looks good with everything!

 

 

 



October Favorites!

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!!

 

but now that the festivities are over it is that time of the month again...

 

 

no...

 

 

I mean MONTHLY FAVORITES!!!

 

 

 

BEAUTY

 

1. Pumpkin Body Butter 

 

if you know me at all you'll know that I am absolutely obsessed with anything pumpkin, so when trader joes came out with their pumpkin body butter I was on board before you could even say pumpkin. its a bit sweeter smelling than I would have thought but the scent has grown on me and I am in love!

 

 

2. Revlon's Rich Nail Polish

 

this green tinted golden silver (yes that's a lot of color) polish is absolutely gorgeous for fall! its deep enough for a fall hue but the metallic finish doesn't make it as harsh. its a great sparkly accessory to any outfit!

 

 

3. Maybelline's Red Revival Lipstick

if you want a red lipstick that lasts all day then this one should be your best friend. highly pigmented and in a beautiful red hue this lipstick will always be a favorite. I love Maybelline's lipsticks because of the color payoffs and lasting power, they work so well on my lips like no other lipstick I've tried.

 

 

4. Nyx Cream Blushes

 

I like cream blushes during the fall winter season's because my skin tends to look a bit dryer than during the summer, the cream blushes give me a nice glow that brings life and color into my oh-so pale skin.

 

 

5. Garnier Pure Clean Shampoo

 

if you want clean clean hair then this should be your go to shampoo, I love it because it feels likes its actually cleaning my hair without drying it out while im washing it. the scent is also really nice, and my hair doesn't get that icky greasy feeling all day.

 

 

6. Sally Hansen's Gold Roses Nail Polish

 

i'm obsessed with rose gold, and when I heard about the Sally Hansen polish I was super excited. I swatched it and compared it to the cover girl polish that I was pleased to find that the Sally Hansen was a more opaque finish. I only need two coats with this polish and its the perfect rose gold shade.

 

 

7. Miss Dior Cherie 

 

it must be fall if im wearing this perfume. its absolutely heavenly and has the right amount of musk for a woman during autumn. its a perfect combination of Italian Mandarin Essence, Egyptian Jasmine Absolute, Indonesian Patchouli Essence.  (and yes I looked those up)

 

 

FASHION

 

 

1. Olive Green Sweater

its so cozy, and the color is perfect for fall! it looks great with dark wash skinnies and brown boots, or more casual with leggings and a knit scarf.

 

 

2. Leatherette Pants 

I feel my outfits get a bit edgier during the fall, and these pants are mostly to blame, its a bit fancier than simple black leggings and makes even the laziest outfit look more put together.

 

 

3. Studded Hairbows

 

i'm all about my hair bows, but hair bows with studs are even better!

 

 

 

 

 4. Cognac Riding Boots

I've literally been wearing mine all month long, they are my comfiest shoes. unfortunately I wear them so much the soles are almost gone and it might be time for a new pair...

 

 

4. Red-Orange Circle Scarf

I like to stay cozy in the mornings, and this scarf keeps me warm and still looking stylish. and oddly enough the red orange color goes with a lot so its easy to pair with when putting together an outfit.

 

 

 

5. Grey Dolman Top

I got mine from American eagle, and its a great layering piece to have in my wardrobe. its soft like a t-shirt, but is long and slouchy so I can wear it with leggings on days when I just want to feel like im wearing pajamas.

 

 

6. Cream Popover 

 

works with everything. as you can tell I love having pieces in my wardrobe that allow me to get the maximum amount of use out of. this works well on its own, under sweaters or layered under my anorak vest for a put together look.

 

 

RANDOM

 

1. Iphone

I finally jumped on the apple bandwagon and got an iphone. I have to say I love it and I have converted. Its so much better than my android and so much easier to use.

 

 

2. Guitar

 

I have picked up my guitar again and have been playing a lot more recently, the callouses on my fingers are worse but that's the mark of a good musician I guess. I feel happy when im playing and its a stress reliever. I play for a bit before doing my homework and I feel relaxed.

 

 

3. Trader Joes Pumpkin Chai

 

ahh... the taste of fall! I love me some chai, but pumpkin chai? even better!! so delicious! and this whole can costs as much as a single cup at starbucks!

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my October favorites!

 

now for a happy November!

 

Much Love

 

Tanti Abbracci!
