Black Lace

Posted on November 2, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Cardigan and Vintage Inspired Lace Tunic Twelve by Twelve | Headband, Ring, and Jeans with Lace Side Forever 21 | Suede Bonanza Boots Steve Madden New lens! It’s a nifty-fifty (50mm) What do you think of the photos?
I felt like wearing jeans today, but I wanted something dramatic. This vintage inspired top and jeans fit what I was looking for this morning. Did not rain, but I am expecting it to soon. I really want to buy rain boots and knee-high socks for the rainy season to keep my look fresh. Otherwise I’ll be wearing the same Coach rain boots all the time.
The top really directed my choices for accessories. I wanted to go for glam and girly despite all the black. I think I hit the mark. I cannot believe it is already November! Time is moving by so fast, so I better enjoy the Fall weather while I can.

Marc Jacobs Tunic

Posted on October 28, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Navy and Pink Tunic Marc by Marc Jacobs | Raspberry Cardigan and Bow Ring Forever 21 | Blue Jeggings 7 for all Mankind | Black Patent Flats Steve Madden | Belt No BrandSaturday spent running errands and shopping in San Francisco for some accessories that I need for my Halloween costume.
This year I am actually using items I already have in my closet to create my costume, and it is important for me to do that not only to stay within a certain budget but also to be work-appropriate. Halloween costumes for women are now only available in the “Sexy” option, and while it might be suitable for a night partying and drinking, it is nowhere near appropriate for the office. My costume will actually be pretty normal, but I am excited just the same for a chance to dress up as someone else.
About today’s outfit. Once again, Crossroads allowed me to score not only the tunic, but these classic jeggings as well. I realize that buying items of higher quality really is worthwhile when it lasts so much longer than my usual clothes from Forever 21 (specifically the denim). Quality can depend as well since I have worn this cardigan multiple times and it is still in great condition. I have worn this tunic before as seen here. I really love the colors and print and am comfortable in both cases. Which look do you like more?

All Saints Black Dress

Posted on October 28, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Racerback Gathered Black Dress All Saints | Black Sweater Wrap Top Diane Von Furstenberg | Panda Necklace, Spike Rings, and Black Leggings Forever 21 | Overpas Black Suede Boots Steve MaddenMy casual Friday look. Had I known this was going to be a warm day I would have worn this dress minus the boots, leggings, and sweater and worn my studded belt and some black wedges. Alas, I had no idea it would be so warm, but layering the sweater was a good idea for later in the afternoon.
I have a lot of black clothing, and have been trying to avoid to buy anything black for awhile. However, when I spotted this dress at Crossroads Trading Co, it was too hard to resist. It is one of those dresses I could not see myself wearing more than once particularly because I did not know how to wear it.
I feel the layering of the top and leggings give it and interesting effect as it plays up the busy bottom of the dress. Tying up the wrap top also makes it seem like I am a little taller, which is usually the case when your look is monochrome. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and am very happy Crossroads Trading Co gives me an opportunity to try new things without breaking the bank.

Rain Jacket

Posted on October 22, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Flower Print Nylon Jacket Rodarte for Target, Pink Bow Headband, Flower Ring, and Jeans Forever 21, Pink Sweater top Trouve, Pink Suede Kaylee Boots Steve Madden
Happy Sunday Everyone! This is actually my outfit from Saturday, I wore all black today since I was going to be riding BART home.

As you can see, I have a cute furry guest in my photos. This is Bella and she is my sister’s puppy. She had come down with a cold last weekend and during that photo shoot she was lying down, but this weekend she had her energy back and was running around chasing the leaves. Holding her was the only we we could get my photo of my outfit without a blur of white running around. I noticed my ring is missing a stone now, probably because of Bella, but that will be an easy fix! Isn’t she the most adorable Westie you have ever seen?
The sun came out for a bit Saturday, but it was foggy for most of the day. I don’t know how I feel about the rain coming this week, but this rain jacket is actually very thin so perfect for a foggy day- not so much for heavy rain. I love the kimono inspired print and I snagged this beautiful jacket on eBay. Its great not only to find an item you might have missed out on (especially for Target or H&M collaborations), but also as a way of recycling clothes!

Breast Cancer Awareness

Posted on October 18, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Floral Print Dress LC Lauren Conrad, Raspberry Pink Cardigan and Pink Bow Forever 21, Panda Charm Necklace Betsey Johnson, Sunglasses Emporio Armani , Pink Studded Flats Sam Edelman, Bag Unknown
Dusty Rose Pink.
That would have been another title to this blog post, but because it is Pink October and I wore a mostly pink outfit, I decided to dedicate this post to raise awareness and encourage everyone to do what they can for Breast Cancer research. No endorsement received from anyone for saying that, but just my way of promoting a good cause.
Wednesdays are also typically my girly days, and I wanted to look feminine and still feel comfortable on an unusually warm day. Dressing up and going to class was actually possible! I cannot get enough of my Sam Edelman Pink Beatrix flats! I have one in almost every color, and they are some of the most comfortable flats! Love that these pink ones are sweet, but the spikes add some edge. Also liking these Armani sunglasses. Not my usual choice because I prefer hiding behind my sunglasses, but I like how its reflective look goes with the rest of my outfit.

My Wednesdays post will always be late because of my late class, but hope you enjoy the outfit!

Bow Sweater

Posted on October 15, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Grey Knit Top Worthington | All Bracelets and Black Tutu Skirt Forever 21 | Short Suede Black Boots Steve MaddenThis is my first attempt at stacking bangles together. I am always pinning different photos of arm candy stacked on top of each other onto my “Inspiration” board, and never knew the best way to make different bangles work. This is my first attempt to it, but with not too much originality.
The bangles wrapped in a bow are one set of bracelets, and the tulle covered ones are from another set. I took cues from my outfit of the black bow and tulle and mixed the two sets together, by essentially sandwiching them. Someday I will get it right on my own, but until thin I hope you enjoy this arm candy and the outfit!
Hope you had a great weekend! =]
