When it comes to bell sleeves, the bigger the better. I love the drama of the sleeve. I plan to wear this top with these jeans to hang out with my cousin and the fam this weekend. And layer it with a trench, because it’s officially layering season. Hallelujah! My favorite season even if it means more palm trees than falling leaves. Hello SoCal Fall. As a reminder, check out my shop page with pieces of what I’m wearing and styling. I update it daily. Happy Tuesday!

As we all know, velvet is as hot as Malibu in October. HOT. While we love it because it plays with the light, we wear it because it feels like the coziest throw pillow. No joke. No wonder we’re all going gaga for velvet. Well, I am no exception. Here, I styled it with leather coated jeans, and midi brown boots. At a cool $148, its a great buy. I’ve already worn it three times in two days. How’s that for cost per wear?

I’m working with Nordstrom showing my favorite date night look. I found this under $200, ombré metallic dress from Topshop at Nordstrom. I happened to be wearing this dress when my hubby and I left the restaurant and were walking around downtown Pasadena. It was funny when 5 random people stopped me on the street to tell me how much they loved this dress and where’s it from. It’s funny, the pieces I’m usually on the fence on, usually end up being my favorite pieces! It’s no joke, Nordstrom always delivers with awesome date night dress options but great customer service. As for styling advice, do size up on the dress and add this moto jacket when the temps dip.
Thank you Nordstrom for partnering on this post!

My baby has been requesting sword fights and refusing kisses. Yup, he’s joined the ranks of all the three-nagers. Cue the tears. However, I’m still loving this short time I have with him at home. His questions, his voice and occasional naps while laying on me. The latter I won’t lie is uncomfortable, but its precious. Since I work from home, I love switching it up with flowey pants – a nice change from the faux leather skinnies. And did I mention comfy? Now, off to lots of meetings. Happy Friday Eve!

We are planning to hit the beach although taking all that sand home is a DRAG. But how cool is it that we can simply drive to a beach nearby? Seriously grateful. And how cute is this $30 dress perfect for lounging and farmers market. If I left anything out, please let me know. Happy humpday!
After a relaxing morning at the photogenic Santa Monica based Palihouse Hotel, I, and fellow LA bloggers, were whisked off to hair and make-up. Shortly after, we arrived at the beautiful Rosé garden and were given two glasses and a whole bottle of Veuve Cliquot bubbly champagne. No complaints there. I loved exploring the various pop-ups, gorgeous floral walls and exciting polo match. A first for me! There was seriously a photo-op at every turn and the floral was stunning! Can you say chic? Thankfully, I was wearing the comfiest Sole Society heels so I could enjoy every moment. I can’t wait for next year!
Thank you SOLE SOCIETY for partnering on this post!

If you’re curious what pieces I’m loving for fall, it’s the following: faux fur stole, charm bracelets (which are back), lots of leather, and embroidered kitten heels. All SOLE SOCIETY items are under $70, and did I mention that this ($55) faux fur stole can be added to virtually any jacket in your closet for a chic update? It will adorn anything from leather jackets to camel coats. Absolutely try this at home and upgrade your Monday #ootd.

After 25 year of experience, San Francisco based designer Margaret O’Leary may make the softest, most cutting-edge sweaters around. One of my favorite outfits has to be a sweater (that’s not itchy but incredibly soft) worn with cutoffs. Seriously, right up there with picking apples, drinking hot apple cider, and breathing in the crisp fall air are CHUNKY KNIT SWEATERS, especially if they are made with cashmere. I think everybody can agree that everybody needs a little cashmere in their lives. In fact, these sweaters are the perfect hint to drop for birthdays or Christmas … or skip the hints and call it shopping therapy.
