Autumn Escape

Dress UO/ Tights chicAudrey / Shoes Aldo / Bag LV Neverfull

I always find myself amazed at how different one can feel when wearing different types of clothing. I received this mink-fur shawl as a present during a dinner party in Shanghai last summer. There were little bursts of rain throughout summer, so I would bring this beautiful shawl with me to protect myself against the temperamental weather. I fell in love with the girl I became when wearing this in Shanghai; whether it was while strolling through downtown districts at night, or singing hours of karaoke with my cousins, I found a certain elation while draped in this rich, chocolate wool. I would always feel like a glamorous actress of the fifties when wearing this out, as if every corner held an awaiting surprising to be greeted by a lipstick traced smile.

Black Hat Tidestore/ Bag Tidestore/ Tights ChicAudrey/ Shorts+Cardigan UO / Shoes Guess

I have been meaning to get a black felt hat since this summer, and Tidestore was kind enough to send me one. I have been wearing it constantly, and I feel like it adds ten layers of mystery to my look. Now, I don’t drink coffee- I drink coffee while wearing a black hat. Now, I don’t just simply read- I read while wearing a black hat. I’m pretty sure this hat will be my joie de l’automne (happiness of the fall!) …

Golden Rule

Pants Vince Camuto/ Necklace Jules Smith / Cuff Gorjana

You could say I like to play it tough once in a while; I get the urge to spend some days dressed in black from head to toe. Luckily, Rocksbox sent me some fun jewelry pieces to play around with, helping me add some pops of gold to an otherwise simple outfit. Rocksbox is a really innovative company that sends a box of jewelry suited to your style preferences. Once you receive it, you can have fun wearing the jewelry pieces, until you’re ready to send the box back and swap for some new jewelry! If you love a piece, you can buy it by simply not sending it back in the box. I think it’s a great service for those who want to explore different types of jewelry without investing in the pieces. I always have a hard time shopping for statement jewelry and feel like I never know where to start, so this membership helps me out. Use my code to receive a free month from them; try their awesome services and see if you can gain more insight about the jewelry styles that you like and would wear. You can swap the boxes as many times as you want! After receiving my first box, I decided it was time to substitute some gold on my arms and neck for my usual smile. But don’t worry, even when dressed fierce, I still play by the golden rule.

Skirt Zurizuri by Flora/ Bag TBDress/ Bracelet Gorjana

You know the holiday season is coming when the massive Christmas tree in Union Square, San Francisco goes up. I headed down this weekend to meet Teban (AsianImpressions) and do a collaboration which I have been anticipating for a while now. We talked, snapped photos, and had quite a load of fun in the process! Walking through downtown San Francisco is one of my favorite things to do around the Bay Area- I absolutely love seeing the beautiful, shiny storefronts of luxury stores. Cities and downtowns definitely speak to me; I decided to bring a festive vibe to my favorite environment by strutting the streets in wintery white!
