It's finally Friday! These batch of pictures were shot at one of my favorite places in the city, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The museum showcases a spectacular collection of permanent and temporary exhibits. My favorite installation is Urban Light, the iconic set of street lamps that adorn the museum's front yard. Absolutely magical, I am obsessed. And at night time they sparkle so beautifully it's breathtaking. It's a definite must-see if you haven't already. I'm posting this blog post as I head out the door for a lovely dinner with my honey. Looking out the window I am saddened. These photos were taken a couple weeks ago when the weather was nice and sunny and now, it's raining. This type of weather is meant for cuddling, they should make that a law. Hope you all have an amazing weekend and thank you, thank you, thank you for all your sweet comments! They truly make my day :)

Happy Tuesday!


Deadlines galore! It's barely Tuesday and it has already been such a busy week! Thought I would share  what I wore to go out to dinner with some of my girlfriends last week. My lust-worthy black lace shorts are finally making an appearance on my blog. I am obsessed! They go with everything, literally. What are you currently obsessing over?


Happy Styling,

Heart Full of Gratitude

Hello loves!

I am loving the juxtaposition of this feminine lace dress married to combat boots and shaped by a masculine olive green jacket. I hope you are all enjoying your Thanksgivings with your loved ones. The holidays are always such a happy time. This year has flown by unbelievably fast, but I am oh so grateful for all that I have been blessed with this year. Graduating college was by far the highlight of my year (and life), and of course I am tremendously grateful to have my loving family, amazing friends and wonderful boyfriend in my life. They are everything to me. Be grateful for all of life's blessings not just today, but everyday. 

Love,
Jessica

Hi loves!

Hope you're all having a great weekend! Just wanted to share this outfit from earlier this week. When in doubt, pants, boots and a blazer! This has been my staple look this past week. It's the easiest ensemble to put together, it's comfortable and best of all still gives off that polished look, perfect for the office. 


Happy Styling

Hello loves!


I'm back with another outfit post. Two days in a row, I'm so proud of myself! I wore this to work earlier this week and since fall is upon us, I combined two of my favorite fall hues-green and cognac-and some classic black to dress it up. When cold weather comes around I get so happy taking out these Steve Madden boots for the season. I have worn them to death year after year, I think it's time for a new pair but I wouldn't dare part with them. I think the worn-in look gives them something special. Hope you are all having a great week! 


Happy Styling!

Hello loves!


Today I'm sharing a look that I wore a few months back for an outdoor school-related event right in the midst of summer, so the bright pink skirt and contrasting teal necklace (which I adore!) was a winning combination. These nude Just Fab heels have graced my blog before here, as they are so versatile. I'll sadly tuck this skirt away in my closet till summer days come around again and brights and neons come back in full swing. 


Happy Styling!

Style Overload-Farewell Summer

Saturday, November 10, 2012

Hello ladies!


I have finally gotten around to working on these outfit posts (you may have already seen them if you follow me on Instagram) now that I am temporarily working from home, which btw is an absolute blessing! There is nothing like setting your own hours and relishing in the simple joys of life like sleeping in and sipping coffee as you work all while wearing pajamas! The new job title motivated me to glam up my work space, so look out for an office decor post coming soon. With this post I am saying farewell to warm summer days as the weather here in California is finally starting to get chilly. But, I wouldn't be surprised by more sunny days ahead. Since I had quite a bundle of outfits to share with you all I just decided to compile them in one post. The more the merrier, right? So I hope you all enjoy them and let me know which is your favorite! 


This flowy blue dress has made its mark in my closet for a few years now since it was a gift from my honey way back when we first started dating! Now almost 5 years later, I treasure it just as much. I love   the print and the light fabric, which is completely sheer so shorts underneath are a must! It also serves a dual purpose as a bathing suit cover up for those breezy beach days. I wore this look for a brunch date and dressed it up with a crisp white blazer, my go-to nude wedges and added a dash of color blocking with a pink clutch.

For a girl on a budget using pieces in my wardrobe in a variety of ways is a must! Finding a new way to style a piece can be a challenge but the end result can give you the same thrill as buying something new. This animal print top is actually a mini dress! I simply folded it up and wala! It's a cute peplum top. I've also worn it as a mini dress here and paired it with a flowy high-low skirt here

I absolutely adore these floral shorts. I love that I can dress them up with heels or wedges or dress them down with some casual sandals. They never fail me. See how I styled them with neutral colors here.

This summer I fell head over heels for these creme lace shorts. I lost count of how many times I've worn them already. And best of all they were less than $20 from Marshalls. I fell so hard for these shorts I was craving another pair in the worst way. I hunted down a pair of black ones that will soon grace my blog as well. They go so beautifully with just about anything and, well, they just make me really happy. I went all nude for this outfit and I am loving this J.Crew inspired bubble necklace from ebay.
