    I’ve reallyyyy been loving red lately. Actually, I’ve always loved red, however it’s hard to find cute red items that are the perfect shade of red. Often times the red isn’t as bright and cute as it should be. Good news for fellow red lovers of the world though, because Bebe just came out with a handful of new red pieces, all in a super cute, very bright red! I bought a few cute red pieces, come Valentine’s Day I will be ready to go ;)

    Yet another fabulous boot by Naughty Monkey, this one is called “Fearless”. For some reason I always end up with the taupe colored boots, probably because they go with so many different color combos. I really need a fabulous pair of navy boots though, so next up is most def. navy. Anyway, today I had lunch at La Valencia, one of my most favorite hotels in La Jolla, so I decided to take a few pictures of my new boots! I got this top at Foreign Exchange, it matched the boots perfectly. Since the shirt had small specks of black throughout it, I paired it with my favorite black Rock & Republic leggings and a taupe belt to tie it all together.

    The key to wearing colored boots for me, is to tie in the same color somewhere else in the outfit, this belt did the trick. Sometimes you can get away without wearing the color in another place, but when taupe was layered over the black, I wanted to incorporate taupe again somewhere else to complete the look.

    So, do you like these boots? You’ll have to let me know. I loveeee them of course, so here are my top 5 reasons why:

    1. They are cute. So cute! And their cuteness comes in FIVE colors! Black, grey, navy, taupe & chocolate.

    2. You can adjust the height. If you want them lower they fold lower, or you can pull them up to the height I have them at.

    3. They are soooo comfortable. With only a 3 3/4 heel you can stomp around town for days.

    4. They can be worn dressed up or down. Toss ‘em on with some denim or as you can see leggings, both look fab.

    5. These can be worn practically year round, especially here in So. Cal. A suede boot is a must for any fab female’s closet.

    Want your own pair? Purchase these on either Nordstrom.comzappos.com or heels.com!

I love being able to take major runway trends and working them into my every day wardrobe.

    Look out Jeffry Campbell, Steve Madden (and everyone else) is swagga jackin you. Love, loveeeee these chunky leopard heels tho, fun & funky without being too chunky. I think Jeffry Campbell shoes are cute and all, but they’re a bittttt too much for me. In my opinion, they only look cute on girls with super skinny legs, my athletic legs in JC’s just look … blah.

    Even these leopard heels make my legs look a little too thick since they cover up the skinniest part on me, my ankles, but oh well, I’ll still wear them :) So for all my skinny sisters, or buff babes that don’t care like me… enjoy this fabulous find.

    Sorry to all my Summer lovin’ females, but Fall is rapidly approaching! I got an email last night asking me what colors will be BIG this fall, so if you’re also looking to slowly transition into some Fall hues, here are the colors that will be HOT this Fall!

    Although bright colors remain in style, their brightness and saturation levels are what has changed. Goodbye neon and pastel, hello pigmented, deep, rich & saturated colors.

    These colors work fabulous for everything Fall. Nails, bags, shoes, skirts, blazers, tops, pants, accessories… you get the point.

    Loving these colors and want to stock up on them now? My favorite site Lulus.com just launched an entire section all about Marigold Orange. So if you’re lovin’ this color as much as I am, head on over to their site and check out all their cute Marigold dresses & other fun items!

    Obsessed with this trio… Brunette hair + Coral + Tan accessories (& skin)= the perfect Summer look! I don’t like to exclude blondes from this trend, it’s of course still soooo cute on any hair color, however, the contrast between the dark hair and the bright dress gives brunettes a special advantage when it comes to this look.

    Want to re-create this look? Here are a few coral & tan pieces I found online, this look is perfect for a Summer wedding or any special Summer occasion!

    Charleston Harbor Coral Dress $37.00


    Seychelles One Shoulder Coral Dress $31.00
