The Oscar's Best Dressed!

 

I hope everyone enjoyed watching the Oscars. It shouldn't surprise anyone that my favorite part is seeing all of the amazing fashions! This year there were many gorgeous dresses, and a few that I was not so thrilled to see. In particular, I loved seeing so many sequins and neutral colors. The Oscars are the most important awards of the season, so I always expect the clothes to reflect this status.

Some of my favorites were worn by Milla Jovovich, Kristen Wiig, and Giuliana Rancic. Milla Jovovich looked stunning in this dress by Elie Saab. The one shoulder and white sparkles looked elegant and sophisticated. Kristen Wiig was wearing J.Mendel and looked ethereal in her nude strapless gown.  Giuliana Rancic was wearing a Tony Ward gown. She looked absolutely angelic. The intricate details and beading were spectacular. 

As an LA girl, I'm sad to see the awards season coming to an end. Luckily there is always great fashion to see in this city!

Delicate Accessories

I may be a big fan of clunky jewelry (see my last post!), but I also love delicate accessories. Recently, I was shopping in one of my favorite boutiques and I bought myself this adorable bracelet. I was immediately drawn to the contrast of neutral colors as well as the slight glimmer. What I like about delicate jewelry is that it can be worn by itself or worn mixed with other bracelets. But beware, when buying delicate bracelets to make sure they "pop" against your skin tone!

Watches

One item every woman should own is a watch. For the past year or so I have contemplated investing in a good quality timepiece, but have just stuck to inexpensive, trendy options. However, I finally decided to splurge and get a Michael Kors watch. I chose one that was versatile, stylish, and silver. I couldn't decide between gold and silver, but finally chose silver because it looked better on my arm! Bottom line is that this watch was worth the investment. It serves as a permanent, classy accessory.

It's Raining, It's Pouring

We've recently had a bit of rain in LA. I know, I can't complain. Compared to the rest of the country, our weather is very tame!  And don't get me wrong, I love the rain when I'm in the right outfit....but when I'm not, then rain=bad. Part of my dilemma with rain is that I don't have rainboots. Well, I do, but they are old and not very cute. This leads me to the adorable Hunter rainboots. They are so chic looking, especially with the socks, but I'm not sure if they are worth the investment.  What do you think? 

Happy Turkey Day!

Hi lovelies, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am still stuffed from the delicious meal I had with my family.  I have so much to be thankful for! 

Over the past few weeks, college applications have taken over my life, which has left me with little time for blogging.  But don't worry, I'm back (at least for now!).  The past few days I have been a homebody, enjoying family and friends. I just finished an amazing book, Sarah's Key. If you need a book to read by the fire I definitely recommend it (but be warned, it's a heavy subject-matter).

On the fashion front, it is finally feeling like fall here in LA and I just ordered the cutest new Steve Madden boots. I love the buckles/straps and can't wait to wear them out! 

Gift Giving

Gift giving is always hard, especially when you are giving the gift to someone you are close to. Today is my mom's birthday. Most years my sister, my dad, and I try to find a gift together, but my mom always seems to end up returning it for one reason or another. This year I was determined to find my mom the perfect gift. I narrowed my search down by restricting myself to Nordstrom.  I just started working there, so the discount was a plus! As I was searching through the store for a cute blouse or sweater, I came across this Free People sweater. I loved the knit work and style so I decided to take a leap of faith and buy it. When time came for my mom to open it, I was delighted when she smiled and said she loved it. The only problem was that it was too big. Oh well, at least I tried! 


P.S. Happy Birthday Mommy!

Coats!

Hello lovelies! I know I write about my love for J.Crew a lot, but I have to do it again. When I got the catalogue in the mail, I absolutely fell in love with all the spreads. Right now I am obsessing over coats. I love this peacoat because of its structure and detail. The gold buttons add an adorable touch. The grey is such a versatile color, and it looks great with the burnt red leggings. Unfortunately it's still about 90 degrees in LA, and coat weather might be months away!
