Touch of Pink

Posted on January 16, 2013by Brandy Saldana

Black Princess Coat Steve Madden | Pleated Cardigan Merona | Pink Marston Silk Top Diane Von Furstenberg | Skirt and Necklace Forever 21 | Black Leggings H&M | Scarf Marc Jacobs Neiman Marcus x Target | Black Zeda Boots Madden GirlA little pop of color to an all black outfit. I liked how my teardrop statement necklace almost looks pink against my top. I was glad to be dressed up today and I look forward to being able to wear heels and not worry about walking around campus. Until then, comfortable shoes are a must! I tend to stray away from jewelry during cold days because it is just not practical and competes with scarfs and gloves. Today I feel I found a balance with my necklace and scarf. They work really well together!
I have been working on my closet clean out during my spare time. I’ll be taking some items to Crossroads and I will also be posting some items to my Poshmark account. At the moment I have about 3 listings but I will get around updating it by this weekend. I would rather not be too overwhelmed by posting all of my items but plan to take my winter clothes to Crossroads and selling my spring/summer clothes on Poshmark. This way I can clear out my apartment sooner rather than later. Check it out and I will follow your closet back if you follow mine!

Visiting a Distillery

Posted on December 22, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Cardigan, Belt, and Elephant Bracelet Forever 21, Purple Dress Diane Von Furstenberg, Scarf Marc Jacobs, Patterned Tights Betsey Johnson, Suede Boots Steve MaddenThis has been such a busy week for me! I apologize for my lack of posts, but now I have no more excuses! I finished up my class on Basic Radiation Safety this Wednesday and was completely engrossed in studying that I did not have time to take a photo. I did pass with a high score, so I feel it was worth cramming last minute definitions instead of taking a photo. lol
This outfit is from Thursday, and I spent the evening with some co-workers at St. George’s Distillery for a tour and tastings. I wore comfortable boots, but I wanted to dress in something that could transition from the office to a night out. I have worn this dress before here and here, and I love how it is so versatile. I wore another pair of patterned tights that I purchased from Marshall’s last weekend too. I am wearing a lot of black, so the tights add a little bit of texture to this outfit.
I’ll be catching up with my posts after the holidays. What would you wear to a get-together with co-workers?

Jimmy Choo Heels

Posted on November 28, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Pink Dress Diane Von Furstenberg | Embellished Nude Belt H&M, Ring Forever 21| Logan Glitter d’Orsay Pumps Jimmy Choo (same here) My first pair of Jimmy Choos! Are they not amazing?!
Before it starts to rain I had to wear a pair of glittery heels. I wore my DVF dress from before shown here and a nude belt with some sparkle to tie the heels and dress together. (And because this dress would feel too loose without a belt.)
I found these shoes on eBay, which has been key to helping me find the exact item I want. I originally was looking around for the Isabel Champagne Glitter pump seen here. When I stumbled upon these for less than $170, I was instantly in love. Not only was the price decent, but the Logan style is classic and clearly works for work or a night out.
I should admit that I also purchased the Baxen glitter wedges seen here recently. I could not get enough of the glitter or the fact that it is Jimmy Choo! I am proud of myself I wear my purchases sooner rather than later and now I cannot wait to wear those wedges especially because of the mirrored heel. I realize I am splurging on myself, but I did no Black Friday shopping and have been taking lunch to work more often to make sure I am not going in debt over shoes. (Some people would say getting into debt because of shoes would be bad.)
I am on wearing yet another pink outfit in case you are tired of seeing so much pink. I was very productive at work and have almost caught up with things I missed on Monday. It was all thanks to the pink dress. I am already looking to accomplishing more tomorrow, so maybe I will go pink again!
Thanks for your comments for my last post, I am surprised many people haven’t been summoned for jury duty (lucky), but at the same time I kind of wish I had been able to participate in order to witness the legal system first hand for a civil case. Maybe another time when I can leave work for a longer period of time.
But on to making a verdict, would you wear these heels? What would you wear with these Jimmy Choos? Leave a comment with your answer or link to a blog post so I can see!

Luichiny Petal Heels

Posted on July 13, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Purple Top Chloe | Black Tutu Skirt and Purple Earrings Forever 21 | Purple Petal Heels Luichiny | Sunglasses D&G | Photos by Jessica V..Another lovely day in paradise!
This morning I felt that the heels had been in my closet long enough (over 2 years) and needed to just be worn. Why wait for a special occasion when waking up healthy and going to a fun job is reason enough to celebrate. I found the blouse 2 weeks ago at the Buffalo Exchange in Las Vegas. It is interesting how the heels and blouse ended up meeting and matching perfectly together! Took some time for them to find each other, but the wait turned out to be worthwhile.
Love how one of the pictures is like a DSW ad. Special thanks to Jessica for taking the pictures and showing that a girl has legs! (ZZ Top song reference).

Summer Wedding

Posted on July 9, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Green Strapless Dress and Faux Pearl and Gem Bracelet H&M | Cream Shrug Wet Seal Gold Metallic Clutch NY&C | Gold Glitter Ulltra Heels Steve MaddenSummer time would not be complete without at least one wedding to attend.
The ceremony was held in the historic San Juan Bautista mission, and my photo was taken right outside in the garden. The whole area is really pretty because it is a small town interested in preserving its history.
The reception was held a little ways away in Hollister, and the hall was magnificent! The colors of black, white, and teal really complimented each other. The food was very filling, and I loved the red velvet cupcakes that they served. I then proceeded to dance the night away. Overall, it was a lovely summer wedding!

For my outfit I reused my glitter heels from this week, and I generally go with floral or chiffon dresses for weddings. The ceremony was a little later which suggested cocktail attire was more appropriate. My favorite piece is the bracelet because it makes a huge statement and was the only accessory I really needed.

Lady Antebellum “We Own the Night” Concert

Posted on March 24, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Pink Pleated Dress Diane Von Furstenberg | Black Cardigan Forever 21 | Patent Ulltra Black Pumps Steve MaddenSimilar look here

Such a fun Friday night! I know this post came a little late, but I had a concert to attend last night. Lady Antebellum was performing at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, and I had purchased my tickets back in January. I was really excited to see them during the We Own the Night World Tour.
My outfit last night did not feel too out of place amidst all the cowboy hats and boots worn by the women, and men, there. I did have work in the morning, and the only difference was that I wore black flats to be able to run to BART after work and meet Armando in Fremont to drive down to San Jose on time. I was inspired by Hillary Scott’s dress that she wore on the Album Cover of We Own the Night with its black and nude detail, as well as because of how romantic the style looked. I admired that Hillary Sott also wore Christian Louboutins while performing, and I believe it was when I watched their video “Just a Kiss” that I really was drawn by her style. I had a blast watching them perform live, and enjoyed it more watching it with the person I know is “the one I’ve been waiting for my whole life”.
