Fun Coat Looks for Fall - With matching Boots and Hats

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoying time off hopefully. I know I have lacked on updating the blog last week, but again I was attending the events for L.A. Fashion week. I had such an amazing time and met so many different people, I am currently sifting through my pics and notes to share with you fashionistas. 

In the mean time, while I was in California, I noticed a lot of amazing fun coats and hats. I know the trend right now for coats are simple, one color fall coats, but I wanted to have a little fun. Here are a few fun coat options with matching hats and boots, that I loved the most. Stay tuned for my L.A. Fashion week updates.

Summer Blocking

As the summer is ending for most, it is still just beginning for me. Arizona temperatures are coming down from 114 to a cool 105, yes cool. I am getting anxious for fall weather, but I couldn't end the summer without rocking one of my favorite summer essentials...bright colors. 

Annie Mae

Remember that suit that Angela Bassett wore to beat Ike's ass in What's Love Got to Do with It? That is the first thing that comes to my mind when I saw this suit. Yes, hers was white with a leopard blouse, but I like to think this is what she would've worn today. Anyway I recently had an obsession of the week for wide leg trousers and ran across this beautiful cream BCBG suit. I am in love with it. I actually need to get it tailored a bit more in my opinion, but I couldn't wait to wear it.

Polka Dot Mermaid

As mentioned in my living or existing post from yesterday, this is me seizing the moment on the day I turned 27. I can honestly say this year has been a great one so far, can't wait to share many other moments and looks I create with you.

C.R.E.A.M.

 Over the weekend I had a pre birthday celebration with my closest friends and family in Phoenix, before heading to Cali. I planned to have a nice fancy dinner like I normally do for celebrations, but at the last minute I changed my mind and decided to go rogue. I wanted to be loud, casual, and do something more normal. 

Vegas - Part One

I took a quick trip to Vegas over the weekend to see two great friends and catch up. A few Margaritas, dinner until 2am, and people watching were just a few of my highlights. My favorite part of the trip was my sneak peek in Dior to view their latest season of shoes, purses, and furs that I cannot wait to share with my fashionistas. Until then here is one of my daytime turned night looks that I wore while walking the strip.

Seperates x Ranch

As it starts to warm up in Arizona I have to cherish these moment of wearing blazers in midday. This white blazer and shorts only cost a total of $13!! I love to splurge, however we do live in a real world of needing to save a buck. These two items I purchased separately on sale, which saved me about $80 total.

Cali Part Uno - Fringe

Have you ever went out of town and needed a vacation from a vacation? That is what I am needing right now. I was invited to California for a very special friend of mines birthday extravaganza. I only intended to stay one day; however the party lasted two fabulous days and now I am catching up with normal living activities. I know I said I would post about the Grammy's red carpet, but I think we all know Beyonce was the highlight and that is all. 

I had such a wonderful time in California and took so many pics, that I now have to separate my journey in sections. I literally picked out my cocktail party dress a few hours before the event, lets see how I did..

Arizona Fall

 As I mentioned in my very first post, Arizona does have a winter...sort of. Our winter season is compared to the Fall Season. It is hard to give up my mid-western layering ways, even after several years. As I try to hold on to the last few days of a desert chill, I still have to remind myself that most of my readers are still dealing with snow. I will cherish these moments before the Sun decides to move in my neighborhood and melt away all things in its path.

Black, White, and Red all over?

Since this is my first post, I will admit I didn't think this one through. I threw on something I would normally wear to work or a dinner date and took pics for testing purposes. I ended up liking the pics and history was made. No one goes to the first pic of a blog anyway...right?
