Sequin Holiday Wish List

The Holidays are around the corner and I can actually buy sequins without having to hunt for it. They are everywhere during the Holidays and I buy them just to stock for the rest of the year. Over dressing for me is a norm, so I love to grab a sequin item for any occasion. I am not sure what I love more, polka dots or sequins.

You must to be cautious buying
sequins because they can either look luxurious or cheap. You can't really skip out on spending at times, when it comes to certain pieces. I think sticking to seldom colors or matte colors is the key to picking out the perfect sequin look. 

Let's take a look at my current Holiday Sequin Wish List...

My favorite piece is this rose gold boxy top, you can wear it so many ways and the color is amazing!

Black Polka Dots

Happy Monday! So back on track this week with a new look. I am super excited that the weather finally permits for me to capture my fall looks for the blog. This was my first time having to deal with the heat and pics, so next time I will be prepared. Anyway I pieced together a look that I didn't know existed in my closet. All of the pieces I am wearing, besides the purse, are older items that I have owned for awhile.

This look fits my personality. I wish I could wear it everyday. My love for polka dots, black, and leather!

To break up the look, I paired it with a light blazer from Cotton On. The studs on the blazer fit perfectly.

Sequined Skirt - Indian Summer

I am not sure if Phoenix can actually have Indian Summers, but I am going to just go with it. It is finally cooling down here and I can now dress in layers. It is difficult trying to capture these moments for you guys with the heat, but I make due. Technically we are still having pool parties, Bar B Q's, and festivals. This is now our summer and I remember why I chose to move here from Chicago.

Although it is still summer here, this will be my last real summer look. I just ordered some thigh high boots and chunky knits that I cannot wait to share.

I purchased this skirt at Nordstrom's Savvy section. I love their line. The details are beautiful and my new favorite piece.

NFL x Fashion - A Creative sports team look

Today is the first day of October and making it officially Fall for me. The Fall Season also comes with Football season. Although I am not die heart sports fanatic, I do love going to the games and supporting my team. I personally do not like wearing jerseys and if the t-shirt does not have a vintage look, I do not find it fashionable for me. People say that it shouldn't be all about fashion, but those are the ones probably not reading this blog. 

I think it is a lot more fun and creative for us to play around with clothing articles, to try to represent our team. 

If you didn't know, I am from Chicago and I represent The Bears!

I found the top at Zara last year. When I purchased it, all I could think about was The Bears.

Rachel Roy x Desert

The weekend is finally here and I have a lot of things to do. I just finished with my closet clean out and now trying to decide if I should have a garage sale or go to Ebay. If I decide to put things on Ebay, I will share a link with you guys. Anyway, I am also trying to share more looks that I create throughout the week, rather than once a week. Remember I am still trying to figure this blog out, while trying to share with you guys.

Please be patient with me while I make small changes to the layout. Other than that, here is a beautiful dress I found on sale at Macy's by Rachel Roy. Rachel Roy has stepped her game up in the fashion community as of late, offering cute prints and colors, at affordable prices. This dress was on sale for $50, the retail price was at $89, which is still a great price. The fabric is light and very soft, a go to summer day dress.

Steal or Splurge - Fringe Mini Skirt

While shopping at Zara the other day I ran into a fringe mini skirt that looked like a replica of a Stella McCartney creation. Well, besides the lace detail, Zara did a pretty good job on recreating the skirt. I wore this skirt to the Phoenix Fashion Event on Friday.

Alejandra G Heels - Look #1

Finally my heels are here! I saw these heels months ago and of course they were sold out. Three months later they were available again, long story short I waited six months for these heels to arrive. It was like watching a birth, ok well watching a really important unwrapping of some sort. I even named them The Olsen Twins.

I love them!! I wanted to create a few different looks for this heel since the color scheme is so different and it is now my favorite heel.

Letters and Leather

I was in Wisconsin to attend a friend graduation. It was a bit challenging for me to find something to wear at the last minute before my flight due to many weather changes in the Midwest. However I found this dress in the back of my closet that I haven't worn since July. I felt it was very appropriate for the type of event. Unfortunately the dress is sold out and I was not able to find a replica.

I also need to invest in a traveling clothes steamer...sigh!

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.

Desert Rose

Stripes x Zara

Door Knockers!

Cali Part dos - Beach and Zara

I am finally getting back to normal life activities and now featuring the second part of my California trip. I was headed to the day after Birthday brunch and was only able to spend a small time frame at the beach. You can't go to California without going to the beach, even if it is in heels. 

Obsession of the week: Statement Pieces

My inspiration for this feature today is coming from the lovely Lupita Nyong'o Sag award look. If you have been living under a rock for the past few weeks, then you wouldn't know that Lupita is known for her role in the movie 12 Years a Slave. I can go on for days, but right now lets submerge ourselves in this AMAZING Gucci "statement" dress...
