<br />
Here is another Winter Thrift Haul video featuring the items I picked up while back home for the Thanksgiving holiday. No heavy coats this time, but definitely some must-haves for the winter - sweaters, a beautiful sequin top perfect for holiday parties, and some blazers!<br />
<br />
Thanks for watching, loves.<br />

The weather has been super gross in NYC for the past few weeks, and while I wish I was out exploring, I don't mind spending the extra time at home, soaking in a tub, treating myself to a facial, and trying on new scents, lipstick and shoes.<br />
<br />
You'll notice that I rarely ever incorporate pink into my wardrobe, and when I do it's almost always minimal. This is NOT the case when I'm at home rejuvenating with the products I love to feel the most feminine. Clearasil sent over a few of their<a href="http://www.clearasil.us/skincare-products/clearasil-daily-clear"> brand new superfruit products</a>, and my absolute favorite is the superfruit facial scrub.<br />
<br />
To celebrate how I #WinTheDay, here are a few of my favorite products that help me feel and look feminine, rejuvenated and my very best.<br />
<br />
Oh, and you can try out the product yourself with this free mail-in rebate! <a href="http://www.clearasil.us/promotions/offers">http://www.clearasil.us/promotions/offers</a><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>All black everything.</b>
<br />
<br />
For some people, wearing all black is depressing, boring or too minimal. I beg to disagree. It's not only functional (what are stains?), but understated chic. There's a way to keep it monochromatic without looking like you're attending someone's funeral.<br />
<br />
<b>Texture play.</b><br />
There are hundreds of different textures to keep an eye out for when finding and styling black pieces. Exotic leathers (crocodile, snakeskin), furs, calf/lambskin leather, rayon, cotton and spandex. Each piece has a different shine, sheen and fit, making each piece unique - even if it's on the same end of the grayscale spectrum.<br />
<br />
<b>Unexpected cuts.</b><br />
For ultimate edge, I look for unexpected cuts in structure and silhouette. A wrap skirt with asymmetrical hemline is a form-flattering surprise. A basic button-down top can become a one-of-a-kind piece when plastic triangles replace the traditional rayon fabric near the shoulders. Cut-out boots are still the rage. Pops of skin are welcoming - take a basic black outfit and transform it effortlessly.<br />

<br />
I added a splash of red to my usual monochromatic color palette, touched up with hints of gold. I found this amazing, amazing silk blouse in a neighborhood vintage shop and fell in love instantly. The sheer sleeves, deep drape and structured shoulders are a perfectly romantic complement to an edgy, asymmetrical skirt.

Mango had a 70% off sale all around Manhattan a few weeks ago, and I couldn't help but cave. This white wraparound skirt was perfect, and a slim $50. We went out to dinner while in Isla Verde (Puerto Rico), and took a few snaps inside the resort before heading out.

I desperately needed a vacation, and since my passport felt like growing legs and hiding from me, we decided on visiting Puerto Rico for the first time. It's an amazing feeling sitting in the sky. Being sandwiched between cotton puff clouds almost convinced me that we were on a different layer of the world.<br />

We nested at the Intercontinental Hotel in Isla Verde. One upgraded suite later, I woke up to this breathtaking view, complete with waterfall pools and palm trees right on the beautiful beach.<br />

The lush landscape complete with miniature iguanas, we were surrounded and serenaded by symphonies of croaking amphibians.<br />
<br />
After laying out on the beach for a few days, we decided to venture out to Old San Juan to explore. Our first stop was the Castillo de San Cristóbal, or Fort Cristóbal, a fort built by Spain to protect against land based attacks on the city of San Juan. It's an amazing piece of architecture with views of the entire city when you make it to the top.<br />

The pastel-colored buildings and cobblestone streets were reminiscent of what I've read about certain parts of Europe in magazines. The old section of the city had history well kept, tucked in with an innocent charm.<br />

We ended the day at the Bacardi distillery, soaking in the history of the bat and family company while sipping on rum punches.<br />

The weather was so unpredictable - it would range from light mists for two hours to ridiculous storms for a mere two minutes. It was almost impossible to plan according to the weather reports, so we had to play it by ear and suck it up when we got soaked. Sometimes it got so humid by the water that my camera lens fogged up and I couldn't see a thing. Difficult when you try to document the world around you. =P<br />

This will hopefully be one of many travelling photo diaries - I'm set on discovering the world not so close by. It's an amazing investment, and I hope I can inspire you to set aside the time and money to travel more as well!<br />

The folks over at WWDMagic are choosing 5 lucky bloggers to go to Vegas, all-expenses paid - the WWDMagic show is probably the biggest trade show in the country, and the opportunity to go and look at hundreds of different brands up close & personal is more than a girl could ask for.<br />
<br />
One of the brands that will be showing at WWDMagic is BCBGMaxAzria. You guys all know how obsessed I am with this brand (see previous posts, please).<br />
<br />
One piece that I am absolutely in love with is the BCBGMaxazria harness belt. I've overheard people saying "Ooh, love it, but I could NEVER pull that off." Yes, it's crazy edgy and screams high-fashion, but I beg to differ. You very well COULD pull it off.<br />
<br />
I knew it could work with so many looks, and glam up a simple tee and jeans outfit. So here I am to show you guys 3 ways that it could work for your wardrobes, not only during the day, but for dinner and dancing afterwards!<br />
<br />
If I do get chosen to go to Vegas for WWDMagic, I'm bringing this belt with me, and it will stay on from when I wake up, to when I go to sleep. It's reversible and adjustable, so it can be draped, worn backwards or forwards. Choose whether to give off a laid-back vest vibe, wear it like suspenders, or a full-on harness.<br />
<br />

My love for the asymmetrical continues. This SPACE collective skirt was a must-have, as soon as I set my eyes upon it in Century 21. I broke away from the black & white for a while to enjoy this (what seems like once-in-a-lifetime) sunny spring day around my neighborhood.<br />

I'm still waiting for my hair to grow longer. Any tips on how to speed up this god-awful process? Oils, conditioners, vitamins - you name it, I'll try anything! anything to get me off of this middle, Jan-esque train so I can Marsha my a-s into the long-hair club. </div>

The weather in NY is again, bipolar, but I wasn't as frustrated because I got to pull out my BCBG Max Azria cape and throw it on before heading into the city for my good friend Jenni's birthday party! <br />
<br />
I was recently surprised with this Celine Trapeze bag from my love, as much as I was excited, I was both intimidated. Yes, that sounds ridiculous, so I got over my initial fear of the inanimate object and, inspired by the colorblocking, took to similar items in my closet for a casual yet chic outfit. What do you guys think?
<br />
<br />
Happy Tuesday, everyone. xx, Jinna

Summer is officially here in New York. The muggy, humid weather (with frequent visits from the rain gods) has got me in a frenzy in the morning, trying to figure out what to wear without ruining my nice clothing, keeping me cool while staying dry. I opted for a simple dress with ikat print, cutout boots, swept the hair up in a pony and threw on a red lip with Ray-Bans.

As you may have noticed, black + white are my go-to color palette. How drab, I know. I can't help it though - my eyes zone out on color and go straight to the black/white pieces in any store. I'm drawn to brands like Alexander Wang, Y-3 and Helmut Lang for just that reason - it's almost innate.
<br />
<br />
I ran across these Helmut Lang structured sweats and my body beckoned them. The leather details make for the not-so-typical sweatpant, yet still hold true to the commitment of comfort that most of their kind do.

Balancing edge with femininity can make your world so much more interesting. I've been drawn to lady-like items, specifically skirts, but mixing them with a leather top + bag, and some bada-s sunglasses makes me feel less posh/perfect.
<br />
<br />
I just welcomed this new Reed Krakoff boxer I bag into the family. It's a mix of lambskin and python, and I am absolutely obsessed with it. It's become my new everyday bag, so if you run into me on my way to/from work, I'm probably stuffing something (everything) into it, and running down the street like a madman.
<br />
<br />
What are some of the ways you mix feminine pieces with edgy ones?
<br />
<br />
Hope you're all having a lovely week!

They sent me this awesome tee, with a wolf on the back - hence, the title of this blog post. I was supes excited to style it, since it fits in with my everyday aesthetic. I wore it to work, and snapped some pics in midtown #NYC before heading home. What do you guys think?

I was approached for a Mother's Day makeover piece, and I had the opportunity to literally MAKE OVER my mother, styling her in what I would wear myself.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 24px;"></span><br />

She's currently the owner of a restaurant/lounge called Cafe Solé located in Annandale, VA (10 minutes outside of Washington, D.C.). I travelled down to visit her to do the shoot for SELF China.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 24px;">

My mother's personal style is very classic - she's usually wearing a pair of bootcut denim and a button down shirt with simple sweaters. She's a luxury-fiend, though - the majority of my luxury brand knowledge came from her collection of bags and jewelry. Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Hermes, the list goes on.</div>
<div style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 300; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">
My personal style can be classic as well, but there's always a hint of edge somewhere. For the shoot, I wore Zara high-waisted skinny pants, an H&M blazer and DVF wedges with a statement necklace. I knew a black and white palette would look great on my mom, so I put her in a black, long-sleeve dress and tights, Manolo Blahnik booties, an amazing white hooded vest and Chanel pearls.</div>
<div style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 300; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">
When it came to the makeup, though, it wasn't that easy. She could NOT have ever imagined herself in a red lip, and when I tried to put my go-to makeup look on her, she almost freaked. It was a great feeling getting her out of her comfort zone, though - after a while, she started to embrace it.</div>
<div style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 300; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">
I had so much fun on this shoot - it was an amazing experience working with the team! :) Keep reading for the interview translated into English.</div>

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Tammy</strong>: Jinna’s style is very funky and she likes to take risks. I love that she can experiment with certain styles that I would not be able to wear. When she was younger she wore a lot of bright colors - most of the time it was very overpowering but her style has grown up a lot.</div>

She is a denim fiend. She has so many jeans and she never likes to wear stuff that is too elegant. I love this about her but wish I’d see her “glammed up” a little bit more, since I love to get dressed up in really high-fashion things.</div>

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Tammy</strong>: When Jinna was younger I didn’t know where she got her style influences because it sure did NOT look like mine! Now that she’s older I can see that she enjoys certain brands that I do. We often share handbags and accessories. There are also things in her closet that I would never think to wear, but when I tried some pieces on, I was surprised at how well they fit!</div>

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Jinna</strong>: My mother definitely has influenced my sense of style since we go shopping together all the time. The process of developing my style has been nurtured by her. I’m inspired by a lot of different things, including other fashion bloggers, the magazines, celebrities and my grandmother. My mother has always played a major role in developing my sense of style, though.</div>

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Tammy</strong>: I remember when Jinna was in high school and she had these Converse sneakers. It was her first day of school and she had an outfit all planned out. She couldn’t, however, find her red shoelaces that she had decided she wanted to wear with her blue Converse sneakers. She freaked out, and said she couldn’t leave until she found her shoelaces. I had to help her look all around the house to find the shoelaces, which ended up being her bookbag the entire time. She was late on her first day of school because she couldn’t go to school wearing any other laces. They just HAD to be red!</div>
<div style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 300; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">
<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Jinna</strong>: Well, during this makeover, I found out that she had never put on a false eyelash strip before. I put one on her eye, and she completely freaked out! She wasn’t used to seeing her eyes look like that, and because she’s not a very glamorous person (or just not used to looking so glamorous), she didn’t know how to handle it! She kept asking to take it off, and I wouldn’t let her until we took the pictures. She was so nervous about it, and I thought it was the cutest thing ever.</div>

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Tammy</strong>: It’s always been my philosophy to invest in high-quality pieces that will last a lifetime. Jinna often goes to stores and purchases clothes that she can only wear for a season. I am not really a trend-shopper, and I make sure that everything I buy will last for a really long time. I don’t understand why she spends money on disposable clothing.</div>
<div style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 300; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">
<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Jinna</strong>: My mother does not like to go into stores like Forever21 or H&M because she becomes very overwhelmed. She will, however, go into Dolce & Gabbana and spend $160 on a plain white tank top. I don’t understand why she doesn’t just go into a cheaper store to buy basics that are a lot less expensive with little difference in quality.</div>

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Tammy</strong>: I like to tell JInna about my past and my family. It’s difficult sometimes to talk to her about the reasons why things happen, or even my own reasoning for why things have happened, but it’s still good to tell her stories and hope that my past will help prevent her from making the same mistakes as I did when I was her age. We can always talk about men and celebrity gossip is always a guilty pleasure.</div>

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Jinna</strong>: I can share anything and everything in my mom’s closet if she’d only let me. Accessories and handbags, especially (only because she actually LETS me borrow those). We are always talking about celebrities and boys, you know - girl stuff.</div>
<div style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 300; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Tammy</strong>: In the summer time when Jinna was younger she’d wear the shortest shorts ever... with high heels. Sometimes I’d have to tell her to put a cardigan on or something to make sure that she didn’t look too overexposed. I realized later that most of the other teenagers her age (at the time) were wearing shorts that short. Seems as though the designers are making shorts even shorter, and I guess it wasn’t her fault, but it can be a bit embarrassing. However, at my niece’s wedding, she arrived in a gorgeous satin cocktail dress, and I hadn’t seen her dressed up like that before. She looked stunning and very elegant.</div>
<div style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 300; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">
<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Jinna</strong>: My cousin got married a few years ago and I hadn’t seen my mother in formal attire in a really long time. She looked amazing, wearing a deep grey Alberta Ferretti gown. She looked absolutely glamorous and it was a lot of fun watching her dance and waltz around in such a high-end dress.</div>
<div style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 300; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Tammy</strong>: When Jinna was in college, she had an internship near the Washington D.C. area, where I was living at the time. She stayed with me for three months while helping out at my restaurant. It was a lot of fun to have her so close, and I got to see her every night since she was working. She was always willing to help out and is a natural people person, so having her at the restaurant helped my guests feel really welcome and comfortable.</div>
<div style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 300; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">
<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Jinna</strong>: I remember when we had an argument around Christmas one year, and we hadn’t spoken to each other for about 5 months after. She didn’t call me, and I didn’t call her, and all of that time went by. I decided to stop by her restaurant on Mother’s Day without letting her know, hoping that she wouldn’t hate me. When I came in with flowers and a card, she immediately greeted me with open arms. She’s a really forgiving person, and I knew that she hadn’t called because she wanted to give me my space and time. She acted like nothing even happened and she didn’t hold a grudge at all. I loved that about her, and after we talked about it, we now make sure we talk all the time.</div>
<div style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 300; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Tammy</strong>: My daughter can be extremely stubborn when her mind is set on something. Even if I don’t agree with her actions or her thoughts, I usually give her the opportunity to learn from her own mistakes. She’s a smart girl, and when she comes to me for advice, I give it, but other than that, I don’t really like to step in to tell her how to live her life.</div>
<div style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 300; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625; margin-bottom: 1.625em;">
<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Jinna</strong>: Understanding my mother has been interesting because I didn’t realize until I was older that I had to truly get to know her for the person she was. For so long I had thought of her as just my mother, and didn’t think to consider who she was outside of that role. We have had our up’s and down’s, but it has been a priceless journey. She has such a spunky, fun personality, and people are drawn to her in the most genuine way. She’s a total people person and I know now that she’s the reason I’m the same way.</div>

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Tammy</strong>: Everytime I introduce my daughter to someone new, they always say that we are just alike. It’s such a special feeling to know that even though we spend most of our time apart, we still have that bond where she grows more like me. Watching her grow reminds me of my life as a young woman. I’m very proud of her, and although we have our minor differences, deep down inside she understands who I am and vice versa. It’s a wonderful relationship to have.</div>

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Jinna</strong>: I’m her mini-me. I realize more and more everyday that I am just like her - the way we interact with others, our sense of humor, and even our style. There are times when we go shopping and pick out the exact same thing, just in a different color. It’s uncanny.</div>

<strong style="color: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; font: normal normal normal 15px/normal 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.625;">Jinna: </strong>Moms should care about their appearance to feel that inner happiness and confidence. When we look good, we feel good, and vice versa. No matter our age, women should always take the time out every once in a while to invest in ourselves. Whether it’s by getting a manicure or a facial, or picking up those sunglasses you’ve always wanted, we should pamper ourselves to make sure that we can walk around super confident and happy!</div>

I think she looks really polished and a bit edgier. She’s not gaudy in any way but definitely demands a bit more attention than her older look. She also looks a LOT younger, with her hair down and the cute hooded white vest. I think if she incorporates more looks like her new look into her everyday wardrobe, she will feel a lot more confident. I still love her classic, casual style, and it’s always important to look chic but effortless, which she does so well. However, seeing her glammed up was so exciting and I could tell from the smile on her face that she loved it too!</div>

<a name='more'></a><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />There is probably never a time where I don't have at least one article of black clothing on, especially it being winter. Lately however, I've been drawn to mixing in navy and dark grey colors. Yes, they're still darker hues, but the navy + black combo can elevate your look. The additional dimension is subtle but still interesting enough to come across as effortlessly chic in colder weather. Case in point, view the inspiration board above.<br />
<br />
I know, I know - amazing. #Dead. Obsessed. Edgy. Dark. Lots of leathers and peplum-laden skirts/belts. I was SO inspired by this trend popping up around the fashion world, and never realized until recently how many pieces I had in my closet that could work perfectly.<br />
<br />

Mixing navy on navy does seem boring at first thought - sometimes I feel like I'm in Home Depot staring at paint color cards. Yes, you can look drab. Really drab. Possibly even to the point where people think you just wash your clothes too often to the point where colors fade. BUT when you add accessories and a ridiculous pair of gaudy heels, it can work out for the better.

I probably wore at least three different shades of navy blue. The top came scuba-inspired courtesy of H&M, and the Mango skirt has the schweetest peplum to add that non-baby, but booty bump. Delish. Thank you to the creative team at Oscar de la Renta for making this coat. I fell in love at first sight.

My friend Sherri and I drove down to Pennsylvania to see the new yorkie she was adopting. Getting away from the city is like food to the malnourished soul. The fresh air, open spaces, unobstructed skies - it felt peaceful just driving by such unpopulated areas. There were so many untouched roads, weaving around cornfields - we decided to stop and take a few shots while the sun was setting.

<br />
This vintage nightgown is Asian-inspired, and it's a bit bold for my taste, but the bright punch of floral print is interesting when layered over a simple white tank and denim cut-off shorts.

<br />
It was my first time putting on these Versace heels and I'm completely and utterly in love. They're both over-the-top and subtle, with cage-like details but a two-toned silver/gray color.
<br />

<br />
I'm almost certain that this will be this summer's go-to outfit. Cut-off levi shorts, a simple tank and an awesome cover-up, with a pair of out-of-this-world heels.

<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
My style is becoming more and more classic. Classic can quickly and very easily become boring. I haven't stepped foot in a Forever 21 in MONTHS and probably won't be going back until the summer hits. I've been investing in more quality pieces that can be mixed and matched to achieve an effortless look that still hits trends when they come around every so often.
<br />
<br />
Layering classic pieces can help prevent that slump of drab blacks and simple silk button downs piled onto what seems like your grandmother's satin pants. I thought I'd experiment a bit with this whole "layering" concept - which by the way I was a bit afraid to do considering the BULKING UP factor. Yes, we all know that more layers means you-may-look-wider-than-usual-unless-you're-80-pounds-like-the-man-repeller. Am I alone in this? Maybe, maybe not. Read on.
<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://greaseandglamour.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/how_to_layer_01.jpg" title="how_to_layer_04" />
<br />
<br />
Ahh, so simple. Satin slacks, mint button down (woo! more color in my wardrobe) and my GORRRR-JUHHHS Celine heels (gracias Bergdorf Goodman!). Anyway, I know what you're thinking. Oh, I could do that. So what?
<br />
<br />
I would probably throw this on if I were running late somewhere. Chunk up the neck with some gold chaiiinsss and bring my carry-all bag. How drab. BUT in an effort to stay warm (and mostly because I was bored this day), I went a bit bolder. Top on top = bold, baby. Two tops. One soft, one way hard. The leather makes me sweat (there are faux versions - I opted for the real stuff).
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
BOOM! Instant play on silhouette and shape. Yummy. Still not there yet, though. I'm missing bling, and it still looks a bit empty.
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
GOLD saves. Added my Pour la Victoire clutch (it's actually an iPad case that turned into a clutch because I have no iPad anymore) - along with a vintage gold watch and a statement gold necklace from <a href="http://karenlondon.com/">Karen London Jewelry</a> to jazz up the collar area.
<br />
<br />
And because it's cold outside...

Fur, duh. Maroon/oxblood/burgundy - whatever you want to call this color, it doesn't matter. It works, with anything. Now I'm off to show you guys the finished look!

We found #NEMO! The northeast was hit with a snowstorm yesterday and before it started hailing snow bullets, I stepped outside to run some errands (last minute necessities) wearing my BCBGMaxAzria cape, H&M leather gloves, Frye knee-high boots, Walter Baker blazer and an old pair of uber-comfortable leggings. I am so in love with snow photos. Hope you enjoy!<br />

I found this amazing sweater at a Salvation Army back home in Virginia. I was thrifting with my grandmother (it's our thing now - I put her on to it and now she's a thrifting monster. almost had to drag her out of there), and I spotted it and had to have it.<br />
<br />
It's a bit oversized, not quite chunky, but the ornate print is what sealed the deal for me. It gives off a Versace-esque vibe, and because it's so bold, I didn't feel the need to layer or throw on anything bright. All black everything else made it work just fine. I was comfy, casual but still felt amazing.<br />

<a name='more'></a>I've been so inspired by modern minimalism, specifically where architecture meets fashion. Blunt cuts and asymmetrical hemlines create depth, especially when there is monotony in color. I've been looking for a black winter coat. Scratch that, I've been looking for THAT black winter coat, and thanks to BCBG Max Azria and Black Friday, I found one that I can keep for the rest of my young life.
<br />
<br />
Investing in a high quality coat will make all the difference in your wardrobe. It's the first item of clothing people see when you're walking around freezing your b-lls off, and most of the time it doesn't matter what you have on underneath.
<br />
<br />
I wore black H&M jeans and top, Vince Camuto clutch and Kenneth Cole heels.

I attempted to soak in the last days of fall with a floral-embellished Sachin + Babi maxi dress c/o of Rent the Runway. I instantly fell in love when I saw it on the site, but love quickly turned to obsession when I tried it on. The material is so soft, flowy but structured. The pop of color made my skin look tan, I mean - what else can a girl ask for?
<br />
<br />
For my makeup I tried on a very natural eye, courtesy of my favorite Stila palette (post to come soon), and a soft/baby pink translucent lip. My hair is finally growing out and I'm getting more excited by the month. Pretty soon it'll be so long I'll want to cut it off again. Sigh, it is the cycle we women (and men, maybe) so often get stuck in.
<br />
<br />
Hope you are having an amazing week.

<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
My first time not only in Cali but the West Coast in general and my week spent there was enough to seal the deal. Yes, the weather is bipolar, the public transportation is borderline non-existent, and the homeless people approach you like they're on steroids; but its unique and lively culture paired with selfless hospitality has stolen my nomadic heart. It's a shame because I've only known the city for a week.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://greaseandglamour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/01.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The fisherman's warf was turf owned by the biggest seagulls I have ever seen. I grew up on a beach - I know what seagulls are supposed to look like. Apparently the bay is home to more fish (or trash) than any beach. Imagine the freshest seafood - bread bowls of clam chowder, prawn cocktail cups to-go, Texas-sized mixed cocktails worth stopping and staring at, smelly sea lions tanning on piers, and lobster rolls that would put any NYC food truck to shame.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://greaseandglamour.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/02.jpg" /><br />
<br />
I wore shorts during the day and regretted it by 2 p.m. The fog moves in and blankets the city and nearby mountains like a strip of white-out on your middle school english paper. Drive 10 minutes south, north or east, and the weather warms up by 10 degrees. No one there understands why, but you learn to adjust.<br />
<br />
I did not listen to my friends when they told me to pack a coat. I guess I should listen to them more often.<br />
<br />
