Lets Do Lunch Leather

Hello loves! Today's post is all about one of my favorite staple items; leather jackets. Having your LLJ (little leather jacket) is just as important as the classic LBD. Todays post is also extra special because it is a collaboration with one of my favorite fashionistas, Casey. Were going to show you two completely different ways to style a leather jacket. Her links will be below!

I chose to go more dressy with my look. I love the sweater dress paired with the leather jacket because its unexpected, especially with the turtle neck detail. I've been loving knee highs lately, so I kept it all back with knee highs and a pair of simple ankle booties. Leather + all black = how could you go wrong? idk. Just more fashion math.

Jacket, sweater dress, knee highs: Forever 21

Ankle booties: LC Lauren Conrad

Clutch: H&M

Sunnies: Guess

What is better than brunch?

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. It is time to wind down from the weekend and recharge yourself to kick butt the rest of the week. Plus, Sundays normally involve brunch. And what is better than brunch?

Here was my outfit last Sunday! I love this outfit because it looks really put together but it is comfortable still! I love this sweater I recently received as a gift, it is from Forever 21. It's super soft, has movement to it and I have been loving the turtle neck detail. These ripped black jeans add a touch of edge to the whole look. I love mixing different elements together to add something unexpected to a look. These wedges are perfect because they still give you extra height (which your girl could use) and they are so comfortable. Last but not least, you can never go wrong with an oversized and structured bag. I love the gold hard wear on this one from Just Fab.

Top: Forever 21

Pants: American Eagle

Shoes: Target

Bag: Just Fab

Bangles: Alex and Ani, H&M

P.S. I found an amazing brunch spot so I figured I had to share! Local Table in Downtown LA has delicious brunch food and it is the cutest little place. They serve brunch 9am-3pm. I would call ahead to make a reservation because they tend to be packed so reservations just work best. I got their french toast which I highly recommend. It had salted caramel drizzle on it, need I say more?

Hope you all have an amazing week and an even better Sunday (fun day) coming up!

What is your favorite thing to do on Sundays?!

4 Shades of Grey

Hello loves! First off...happy 2015!

Grey is one of my favorite colors to wear, so no surprise I've been obsessed with layering different shades of it. I traveled home for the holidays where it is much colder than Los Angeles, so I picked up this grey knit coat from Forever 21 to layer and have been loving it (it goes with almost everything). I paired it with a textured grey sweater to add some dimension to the look. These black jeans have been my go-to jeans this winter especially paired with ankle booties. I finished the look off with gold accessories because gold + Marc Jacobs = heaven. Fashion math, idk...makes sense to me.
