Tis the Season!

Happy Tuesday Dolls! 

Holy crap when did it become December? I swear it was just August a minute ago then BAM the holidays are upon us! I'm not complaining in the least, December is my utmost favorite time of year because everyone finally starts to get in the Christmas spirit and it's 100% ok to be blasting Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" on repeat without getting dirty looks ...

Before I get into full on Christmas mode on my little corner of the internet, don't fret those posts will start becoming a regular thing here soon, let's back track to this past weekend and Thanksgiving! I was fortunate enough to be able to spend it with my family once again in Las Vegas, which is what we did last year as well. It works out great because we get to eat at some of the nicest restaurants in the country, bet on football and of course spend time with each other. If I'm lucky I get to see my parents and sister together in the same place 2-3 times a year so I always look forward to having us all together. 

Look for a Vegas recap later in the week, but for now let's get back to my outfit post. It's been a LONG time since I've posted one of these so thank you to my fabulous madre for taking my photos :)

All black outfits are great, but whenever the chance to wear sequins arises, I jump on it! 

I just love the scallop detailing on this skirt

When I first tried these on, I was a little hesitant to buy them but now they're literally my go to black heels!

Stylish Tuesday + A 65 MCMLXV Tee Giveaway!

Happy Tuesday Pretties! 

Y'all SO much has happened in the last week you would not even believe! Last Monday I went to an Emmy party for work (if you follow me on Instagram you know what's coming) and met some great celebrities. It was my roomies first award event and we had an absolute blast. 

Fast forward to Thursday and Dr. D moved in with me for 2 1/2 weeks. It's super fun to do a trial "move in" period, but at the same time super depressing because he's moving to Ohio on August 17th which is literally around the corner. Friday night I had a kickball end of season party on a yacht that was prom themed. To say I had way too much fun would be the understatement of the year, but then again there was an open bar .... 

Just wanted to fill y'all in a little bit of what's going on in my life lately, but now on to the fun stuff. I mean what's more fun than a GIVEAWAY? 

The fabulous 65 mcmlxv is a NYC-based contemporary company that creates stylish but classic casual clothing at an affordable price. I immediately gravitated for the Cosmopolitan shirt because it reminded me of Sex and the City. How could one resist? 

The cotton is super soft and comfy. Plus, it's a tagless tee! You can't beat that! 

The tee is clearly the highlight of this post, but can we talk about this ikat skirt for a sec? So beautiful, made from silk and has a touch of fun in the back with a neon zipper!

Top: c/o 65 MCMLXV // Skirt & Earrings: Francesca's Collection // Heels: Michael Kors // Sunglasses: Ray Ban // Bangle: Forever 21 // Bracelets: Gifted & Zinnia // Watch: Juicy Couture

This giveaway starts today and ends on Monday, August 10 at 12 PM, PST. Winner will be announced, next Tuesday, August 11. Open to residents in the U.S. and Canada only! 65 Mcmlxv has a wide variety of graphic tees and the winner gets to pick which one they want off their website. 

Good luck y'all!

This week's featured blogger is Cynthia from My Rose Colored Shades

Cobalt Blue and Black is one of my favorite color combos leaning into fall. I think they pair together perfectly and this outfit completely reassures that! The sleeves on this top are fantastic and her skin tone looks amazing next to this fun shade of blue. Great look doll!

Cobalt Blue & Stylish Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday Dolls! 

Lately I've been obsessing over cobalt blue! I went on a major shopping spree a couple of weeks back for my cousins wedding in Dallas, and ended up with 4 cobalt blue dresses! It didn't hit me until I went to hang them up in my OCD color coordinated closet and they all went into the same section ... don't know which is more embarrassing, a color coordinated closet or that I indeed bought 4 dresses the same exact color in one shopping trip!

This was initially one of those stated dresses I bought for the wedding. I adore the 3/4 length sleeves and how flattering the fit and flare style is. The small horizontal lines added texture to the dress and felt amazing to rub my hand up and down my arm (guilty as charged, because y'all know I did that all day long!)

I didn't end up wearing it to the wedding (because let's be honest, I would have died in the Texas heat y'all!) but I did wear it to a work meeting last week and got loads of compliments. Best of all, it was a steal for less than $25 from Forever 21!

When it came to accessorizing this beauty, I kept it very simple. Normally I love to layer necklaces, add a watch to literally every outfit and pair with statement earrings on top of it all but honestly, this dress speaks for itself.

I added a waist belt to break up all of the blue and tie in my nude/rose gold heels. The statement earrings matched so perfectly, I had to showcase them by putting my hair up and letting them be the star of the show!

If you know me, you know that I'm a sucker for a good arm party. Most people feel naked without their phone and while I too am one of those people, if my left wrist isn't stacked and my right wrist doesn't have a hair tie, my whole day is caught off balance. 

You gals get it, hair ties are an essential wrist accessory and you never need it until the one time you do and your trusty rubber band isn't there ... whomp whomp!

Ladies, these heels are EVERYTHING! The heel is a perfect 3 1/2 inch height so you don't feel like you're going to break your neck as you walk around. The cut out's are on trend along with the textured leather and metallic rose gold heel. My favorite part is the ankle support - I truly feel like I could run a mile in these puppies. 

Shout out to my blogger bud, Adri from Adri Lately for helping convince me these bad boys needed to be purchased. I don't even know why I was contemplating now!

Ashley's style is always spot on! She's a Kansas City fashion blogger with a closet most girls would die for. When she pulled out this neon number and paired it with nude heels that had neon trim it literally made my heart swoon. Great look love!

Mad For Plaid Stylish Tuesday + Francesca's Giveaway!

Happy Tuesday Dolls! 

I hope everyone is having a fabulous week so far! Yesterday was an exceptionally good Monday for me and those are few and far between! Make sure to join the Stylish Tuesday linkup (Huge shout out to the 100+ girls who linked up last week ... whoop whoop!) and enter to win a $230 Francesca's Collection Gift Card at the bottom of this post!

 Y'all I'm seriously mad for plaid right now!

Yesterday June Gloom officially happened. For those of you who aren't Angeleno's, during the month of June Los Angeles is completely gloomy and overcast for the first 1/4 to 1/2 of the day until Mr. Golden Sun decides to come out and play. Some day's it's nice because it actually feels like it might rain, but for the other mornings it's rather dismal.

Although I'm being a complete pessimistic Patty right now, I actually do enjoy the overcast days in a sense because they make our hot summer days tend to be a little cooler than normal, hence the long sleeve shirt! 

One of my favorite combo's is a pair of shorts, wedges and a great long sleeve tee to keep you a little warmer on those chilly days; however, this also works for hot Summer days when you're shopping and the AC in the mall is about ready to make you pull our your winter coat! Y'all know what I mean!

Speaking of shorts, if you're like me and have a tiny waist with bigger hips/thighs and booty I seriously recommend checking out American Eagle for shorts. Yes the same American Eagle you shopped at during high school! I've sworn by their shorts for years and have the same pair in literally 8 different colors. I'm a firm believer in buying in bulk when you find something that not only fits, but is a flattering length and look when it comes to shorts!

Top: Target // Shorts: American Eagle // Wedges: Dolce Vita via Macy's // Watch: Michael Kors // Bracelet: Forever 21 // Necklace: Polly's Jewelry // Sunglasses: Gift from a Wedding

What's your Summer go to look?

I simply loved every single thing about this darling look! The neon yellow top matches her flip flops perfectly and I love how she did a bright on bright combo with the neon pink shorts! Add a pop of white in the bag and BAM you have an amazing look!
