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!

Fourth of July Recap + Stylish Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday Dolls! 

I hope everyone had a safe and fabulous 4th of July weekend! 

My long weekend started out with a dinner party, followed by Thursday off (hello beach day!) Friday I went to a bbq hosted by a kickball friend took a side trip to the beach and ended the day out watching fireworks go off in 8 different locations from my roof ... one word - AWESOME! I've said it before, and I'll say it again I am obsessed and so lucky I found the apartment that I did in such short notice.

Margo me and my roommate Meems celebrating Independence Day!

Saturday was pretty low key, running errands and what not before heading to Hollywood Forever to watch Coming To America with yet another group of kickball friends. If y'all are ever in the LA area during the Summer I highly suggest heading over to the cemetery to catch a movie. It's really fun enjoying a picnic and some vino while lounging with your friends. 

If you've seen Valentine's Day, it's the location where they shoot the outdoor movie scene with Topher Grace and the elderly guy (sorry lacking his name!) 

Sunday I literally died on my couch from exhaustion - sad but true. 

A glimpse of the amazing view I had for the 4th of July fireworks

- But back to the fashion - 

The minute I spotted this scallop lace tank at Target I fell in love with the intricate details! 

When the cobalt blue (have I mentioned I LOVE this color) scallop high waisted shorts caught my eye at Francesca's, I knew they'd be a perfect 4th of July outfit! 

 The metallic wedges were a perfect addition to get me in the festive holiday mood!

This look is so simple and casual, yet sophisticated and chic! I love how basic pieces don't have to be overwhelmed with statement jewelry, but rather paired with neutral accesories and still look polished. This patriotic looks gets an A+ in my book!

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?
