Lookbook: Bubble and Baroque

What I’m Wearing
ASOS Dress (c/o) – I’m actually wearing the petite version which is sold out but the maternity version is the same.  Love the baroque print, this bodycon dress is really cute and same print in a skater skirt!
RD Style faux leather jacket (c/o) – thanks to RD Style for sending over a bunch of goodies!  I’m so excited to bring this jacket out come fall.  I was able to wear it on a windy day but it’s going to be perfect for my fall transition wardrobe.
t+j Designs Neon Bubble Necklace – such an easy way to add some color to your outfit.  I’m obsessed with the neon ones!
t+j Designs Turquoise watch – I’m so happy that we added watches to our line, I love them and get so many compliments.  We have a lot of happy customers as well who love our quality and price points on all our watches 🙂
Kate Spade wedges (similar) – Kate Spade makes the cutest wedges, I want so many of them!  Love these red bow espadrilles (on sale) and these floral wedges (also on sale!)
YSL Mini Cabas Chyc bag – I bought mine before they became “Saint Laurent” so the new style is slightly different but I love this bag and highly recommend it.  It’s the perfect size, easy to carry both with the handles or the shoulder strap and the leather is so nice and buttery and gets better with age.  There’s a few new colors including this pink which I’m just loving!

Lookbook: Hello Kitty Color Block

What I’m Wearing
Forever 21 x Hello Kitty Blouse – As an adult I do feel silly wearing hello kitty but the subtle-ish print like this is perfect for me to show my love for hello kitty! 
J Crew Tippi Sweater – always in rotation in my closet.  The perfect sweater that’s not too thin and not too bulky.  I layer it with everything.  On sale in stripes!
Rag & Bone jeans – No longer available in this color.  These have great stretch in them which during pregnancy, anything with stretch in them has been a lifesaver! Similar color and style at Banana Republic.  Or even better, the same color and style at Forever 21 for $25!
Miu Miu heels – You can see a better shot of them here, they are sparkle mania! Mary Jane version here in silver  and here in black.  LOVE these glitter sole mirror pumps.
YSL Mini Cabas Chyc – the new Saint Laurent Chyc is shaped a little bit different but still very similar.  That one is the large version, here is the medium version.  My mini version is a bit hard to find, I’d keep an eye out and just snag it at Nordstrom or Saks if you see it in person and you want it.  It’s a hard bag to track down!
t+j Designs Luxe Gemstone Necklace – one of my favorite necklaces to wear under the collar of a button down blouse.  It just pairs so nicely and is the perfect amount of bling.

Thank you so much for all the sweet congrats messages from yesterday’s post!  I so appreciate all the kind words and am lucky to be a part of this blogger community that we all get to share in each other’s joys, excitements and achievements in life. I’ll admit pregnancy has not been a favorite thing of mine.  First trimester was seriously brutal – exhausted and nauseous all the time (also the reason why I had to miss out on going to NYC with my sister for fashion week!) but 2nd trimester has been much kinder to me.  I promise to not turn my blog into a pregnancy/baby blog but I’m sure you’ll hear about it occasionally and thank you for sticking around if you do! 🙂

Lookbook: Baroque

 
What I’m Wearing
ASOS Baroque Dress (c/o) – Love the pattern!  See review below.
Zara Blazer – no longer available similar here or at Nordstrom in lots of colors
Madewell Cardigan – no longer available, similar (also take an extra 20% off all sale at Madewell, valid through tonight!)
YSL Mary Jane Pumps – similar.  Ooh check out these gorgeous Gucci Mary Jane pumps!
t+ j Designs Bangle – new collection, not yet available.
I shop at ASOS quite often and I love their Petite section.  When ASOS asked me to choose something from their petites line to do a review I scanned the entire section and loaded up my cart but when my package came this dress was my immediate favorite.  I just love the pattern and the fit.  Without the blazer and the belt it’s quite roomy but I don’t mind that look when I just want to let the dress be free and over accessorize with my jewelry.  I ordered the size 2 but pretty sure the 1 would work since the fabric is pretty stretchy and the body of the dress itself is a bit flowy.  The length of the sleeves and where it ended above the knee was perfect for me.  We recently launched our neons collection for my jewelry line and since that was on my mind, I decided that I needed to add some neon to my outfit.  The black and white print is the perfect canvas to add such bright pops of color.  I’ve had this blazer for a few years now but just adore the color.  It always cheers up any outfit that I wear with it.

Lookbook: Pumpkin

What I’m Wearing
ASOS Classic Trench – have had this trench for awhile now and it’s my go to coat for the less windy days.  It’s a bit too cold for it now though!
Happy Scarf  – thank you to the team at Happy Scarf who take care of me every season with a box full of awesome scarves!  I’m obsessed with scarves and never leave home without one.  All the scarves are soooo soft and they have a ton of great prints.  I get asked about my scarves all the time and I always point them to Happy Scarf (plus I just love the name!)
Rag & Bone Sweater – bought this sweater because I wanted a bright colored sweater and then debated forever about keeping it as I wasn’t sure about the color.  I don’t tend to wear orange a lot and didn’t want to look like a pumpkin.  Finally put it on one day and decided it was the perfect orange!  I love it now.
Rag & Bone coated jeans – Similar and on sale.  I love these coated jeans that give a bit of a leather look.  I also have them in black and they totally look like leather pants.  Highly recommended.  Plus a ton cheaper than buying real leather pants!  There’s actually quite a few coated jeans on sale.  These Citizens and these Rich & Skinny jeans are 40% off
Miu Miu Pumps – if you’re lucky you might still be able to catch the leather versions of these on sale!  Same with the suede & glitter pumps!  I love those.
YSL Mini Chyc – Here in the regular size.  I’ve also contemplated the Mulberry Bayswater tote as well.  It’s really similar in size and shape.
Chanel Ring – Anniversary present from my husband 🙂
t+j Designs jewelry:
-Pave Link Bracelet
-Double Chain Necklace
–Leopard Bow Bracelet
Our holiday fab fifty is going on!  Get our Red Resin & Crystal Necklace for 50% off, it’s only $34 until tomorrow!  Use code HOLIDAY50

So excited to have a few days to enjoy spending time with my loved ones.  Wishing you all the best during this holiday season and thank you so much for spending a little bit of your day reading my blog.

Designer shoe sale haul

It’s my bi-annual designer shoe sale haul 🙂  I tend to save up all my money and buy most of my shoes only twice a year during the sales.  I always end up buying a ton of shoes because I can never resist a good sale especially on shoes!  Well, this year I actually found a pretty bag that was on sale too so I definitely can not keep all of these but thought I’d show you what I ended up getting and maybe you can let me know which ones I should return?  I really do need your help as I love them all!

I completely forgot to take “real” (not iPhone) pics of these Fendi pumps but I instagrammed them last week.  They are so cute and I’ve been eyeing them forever, couldn’t believe the black ones went on sale!  I can’t find them on sale anymore, seems like they are back to being full price.

Fendi Deco Bow Pump

click through for the rest of my haul!

These Miu Miu flats I’m definitely keeping (seeing as how I’ve worn them already as you might’ve seen on my instagram). Aren’t they so pretty?  I love how they sparkle!  Bluefly currently has them on sale.

Miu Miu Jewel Flats

I got these from Net-a-Porter and I didn’t see them anywhere else on sale.  I’ve been wanting a pair of Maniac pumps for awhile so was very glad to see these go on sale.  Definitely not a color for the faint of heart but I love bold color shoes so I think I’ll get lots of wear from them.  They are sold out of my color but they still have a few on sale in pink (60% off now), pink suede and nude suede.

Brian Atwood Maniac Pumps

These YSL booties were a lucky score as my SA at Nordstrom told me I got the only pair in store and they were my size!  I’m a fan of the tributes as I already have the pumps and mary janes and find them all to be very comfortable.  I love the cap toe on these!  SSENSE has the all leather version as well as the cap toe tributes on sale

I love the color of these Jimmy Choo pumps but out of my haul these are probably my least exciting pair.  I do like to have classic pumps in different colors and textures which was what attracted me to these but I’m a bit undecided if they are worth keeping over my other shoes.  The good news for those of you that are interested in them, they are now 60% off at Nordstrom! I got them for 40% off so waiting it out is always worth it but I’m too afraid of missing out on my size so I just snag them when I can.
Jimmy Choo Cosmic Platform Pump 

Lastly are the most gorgeous Prada boots.  I have a hard time finding boots and these may just be perfection in a boot.  HOWEVER they are suede and Seattle is so rainy and gross that I hesitate to spend this much money on boots that I can’t wear very often.  I do wish they were leather but I was lucky at least finding these in my size.  They are OTK boots however, they look great scrunched down too so I like that they can double as knee high boots too.  These are the same ones but in leather.

Prada Over The Knee Boots

A lot of places are already marking down their designer merchandise to 60% off.  Sizes are slim but you never know, you might get lucky!  Make sure to check out Saks, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter and Barney’s!

Lookbook: Green Print and Chanel

What I’m Wearing
Amanda Uprichard Dress – same print but strapless.  I got this dress for a steal, like $50 or something.  Amazon has amazing deals on clothes but you have to weed through a ton of stuff so I try to just search by brand.  Amanda Uprichard makes beautiful silk pieces and I stalk Amazon for the best deals on her line.  I’ve got my eye on this shirt.  It’s 77% off! The one thing is prices vary by print and size so you just have to click through to check to see if you can get the good deal on the one that you want.  I just ordered this fur vest
for $38!

BB Dakota Leather Lapel Blazer (now 30% off!) – I bought this blazer at the beginning of the summer and it’s been sitting in my closet since.  So happy to pull it out for the fall.  I love the chic addition of the leather lapels and the fit is perfect for someone like me with smaller shoulders.  (I’m wearing the 0).  I highly recommend this blazer if you are looking for a dressier blazer.  The quality is great and it’s on sale and under $100 so totally worth it!  If you are looking for a more basic but nice quality blazer, my favorite is the J Crew Schoolboy Blazer.  I have it in navy and it’s definitely a staple that will be in my closet for years.
J Crew Belt – have you seen this adorable bow belt? It’s SO cute in person.  I think a glitter belt would be a good addition to this dress too and easily make it into more of a party dress.  And don’t forget, you can take 30% off all J Crew orders right now!
DKNY tights
YSL Platforms – the Tribute Sandal is the most similar to mine that are a few seasons old.  I love the height these give me and the platform just makes them really comfortable to wear.
Vintage Chanel Bag – LOVE this mini vintage flap!
Double Wrap Chain Bracelet and Pave Link Bracelet – take 25% off your entire order with code GIFT25 and get our Gunmetal Crystal Bracelet set for free with orders over $30!

Still so much to do and Christmas is almost here!  I’m having a great holiday season and I hope you all are too.
