Raisin Red

I am excited to share one of my first outfits inspired by Enzo Angiolini Issax Lug Heels in Raisin Suede I scored at DSW. I adore the color and thought they would be perfect for my Fall work wardrobe and a great shoe to carry me into the holiday party season. I am a big fan of the grip these shoes have underneath which can prevent a major fall from happening, especially if I decide to wear these after some light rain. They are no longer available on their website, but you can still find them in either black, gray or raisin suede at the DSW on Post Street in San Francisco. If you do visit the store be ready to spend more than a few hours in there because it is HUGE and they have a large selection of boots and heels. I can’t wait to share my latest pair of boots I found there as well in an upcoming post!
The grey circle midi skirt I am wearing is from Le Tote and it is in fact very cozy. They grey color is a nice neutral and these shoes just pop against it. I remember spotting this skirt on Kendi Skeen from Kendi Everyday, so I was excited to style this skirt when I received it in my latest tote. Little did I know that it was a blogger favorite, and I discovered my friends Chanda and Carlina also styled this skirt after receiving it in one of their totes. It is a very fun piece and I am looking forward to styling it a little differently for a more casual affair or for work.
For this outfit, I also wanted to keep a cozy vibe by wearing my handmade burgundy scarf. I don’t feel I match my outfits as much as I used to, but it was hard not matching my shoes to my scarf. The scarf was a gift from my friend last Christmas and I felt it added the extra warmth not only because of the material, but because it was handmade for me. My Kate Spade newspaper clutch, one of my latest finds from +Poshmark, also feels very me because I was the Editor-in-Chief of my high school newspaper. It made a huge impact in my life because it helped improve my writing skills and exposed me to the publication world. I love quirky pieces like this and being able to wear something that can tell a story about me.
Hope you are having a great week so far and stay tuned for some Fall inspired cupcakes in my next post that you can easily make for your Thanksgiving dinner.
Until next time,

I have so much in store that I can’t wait to share with you all. I have photos and tips from Posh Fest in my queue and a couple of fun reviews as well as some Fall cupcakes perfect for tanksgiving dinner or any other get-together this Fall.
I am excited to announce I’ll be hosting my third Poshmark party tomorrow night on the app. Poshmark shared a brief preview of what I’ll be sharing to the party on their blog, but I hope you’ll join in on the fun. The theme is Moments of Chic. If you don’t have the app, you can sign up if you have an iOS or Android device and enter my referral code HAEWR for a $5 shopping credit.
Today’s outfit post features this Kate Spade skirt I scored on ThredUp which I feel is very chic. It fit a little too big, but I thought I would see how it looked when it was belted. It looked fine, but I was not convinced I should keep it since it was not the perfect fit for me. Luckily, ThredUp has an amazing return policy and I ended up buying another dress from there since I happened to be on the site again. I paired the striped skirt with a classic v-neck wool sweater and my faux thigh-high stockings from HauteLegs. The booties and hat completed this Fall look.
I was recently sent a bag by Thredup to use and sell items to them, so I am debating doing that since I’ve read some mixed reviews about that. When items don’t sell on my Poshmark closet, and I need space, I typically sell items to Crossroads Trading Co. and donate what doesn’t sell. I like to keep the clutter in my closet/studio under control, but sometimes that isn’t always possible. I might give this clean-out bag a try and see how it goes.
Hope your week has been great so far and until next time!

Fall Crops

Posted on November 10, 2014by Brandy Saldana

Happy Monday!
I attended Posh Fest over the weekend in SF, and I can’t believe that it is already over! It felt like it flew by, but I learned a lot of tips that should make their way over to a post soon. I know I’ll be doing a recap of photos I took and it won’t take a year to post those this time. It ended on a great note and I am so grateful to be a part of the +Poshmark community. It’s been great being able to resell items I no longer wear and make extra cash to facilitate my shopping habits, but it has been even better connecting with so many amazing people through the app and in real life. I loved being recognized and meeting the people behind the amazing closets I follow.
I had a lot of fun dressing up for the two day conference. Sunday’s outfit actually used the top I have in this post. It is from LE TOTE, and I ended up purchasing it because of how versatile it is. I have worn it so many times already, I am surprised it took me so long to decide to purchase it. I’ve worn it with cargo pants and flats, black pants and tan booties and these cuffed bermuda shorts. I also bought the necklace in this post from LE TOTE since I was able to wear it with a lot of the items thanks to it’s neutral colors.
This morning I reached for a sweater, but the past few weeks have been warm enough to ignore typical Fall outfits. I want to wear boots, scarves and sweaters, but I am still able to wear shorts and short sleeve jackets. I like that the floral pattern on my jacket/dress works with the color palette of my outfit. I am not the only one that likes to wear this dress as a jacket, as you can see from my blogger friends Carlina and Donna. It is a great transitional piece, and if you don’t have it, you can always find one on Poshmark.
From this outfit, I am also really excited to introduce you to my new Kate Spade handbag. She is a birthday gift from my parents and I love how sleek and structured this bag is. Armando got me a matching black Laurie zip around phone wallet that I use everyday as his gift to me for my birthday. I can’t wait to share more outfits with this bag, but this was officially the first outfit I styled with it. I’ve been using it everyday and am very pleased with it and I love how the gold zippers open up for two extra pockets!
Hope you are having a great start to your week! I am looking forward to a day off tomorrow for Veteran’s Day. Time for some much needed relaxation after this weekend and a chance to clean up the mess in my closet.

Fall Neutrals

Posted on October 30, 2014by Brandy Saldana

Black and Tan Wrap Dress Diane von Furstenberg (here), Key Necklace Forever 21 (similar here), Gold Wrapped Arrow Ring Tilly’s (similar here), Nude Ulltra Patent Heels Steve Madden (similar here), Black Voyage Tote JustFab, Le Rouge Carmin Escape 306 Lipstick Givenchy (here)I can’t believe we are at the end of the month and also how warm Fall has been here in the Bay Area. Lucky for me I have been able to get more wear out of my dresses and skirts. I found this wrap dress at Crossroads Trading Co. on West Carlos Street, and loved how much leg it shows despite having a longer hem than my other dresses. The tan color also makes this dress a little bit more unique, but you can also wrap belt differently to show less of the tan color. I found this exact dress on The Real Real in case you need it in your wardrobe like I felt I did. I paired it with neutral heels and bag and added the gold accessories. I loved the wrapped arrow ring, but lately I have not been able to find it so I’ve been wondering if it is lost forever (I hope not!)
I am really excited for Halloween tomorrow and to wear my DIY Halloween costume to work. It is food related if you want to guess what I’ll be (and no, it is not a cupcake.) What will you be dressing up as this year? I didn’t have a chance to make any Halloween themed cupcakes this month, but maybe I’ll get around to making some this weekend.
Hope you are having a great week and until next time,

Coral and Navy Pleats

Posted on October 27, 2014by Brandy Saldana

Coral Bow Front Blouse Odille | Coral Cream Navy Color Block Pleated Skirt Forever 21 (here) | Trench Coat Banana Republic Factory Store | Camera Necklace Kate Spade | Nadia Arrowhead Bracelet Adia K via LE TOTE (similar here) | Nude Ruffle Satchel Steve Madden | Bone Miminette 70 Patent Calf Kitten Heels Christian Louboutin | The change in the weather has finally caught up to me. I caught a cold and spent last weekend recovering, but luckily I had some TLC from my mom. Mothers always know what to do when you are not feeling your best, and I appreciate that mine took good care of me.

Today’s outfit features a skirt and top I found at Crossroads Trading Co. I loved how the coral colors matched perfectly, and this is another instance where my mom helped me out with her input on the outfit. We were shopping together and she gave me a nod of approval when I stepped out of the fitting room with these pieces on. The camera necklace is one of my favorite pieces lately and it was a gift from a friend for my birthday. I am also really loving the arrowhead bracelet, which is a rental from LE TOTE. I am planning on keeping this piece because it works well on its own, but it can also work stacked with some other pieces. I wore this outfit before I caught my cold, but now I am back to feeling like how I did when Armando took these photos.

This week I had enough energy to attend a party hosted by ClassPass at StuidoMix in SF on Tuesday. I took a barre class, and this is my second time taking one. I am still not sure how I feel about barre, but I felt like I got a good work out out of it. I haven’t really found a workout routine that I enjoy yet, but I have taken some Zumba classes that I have really enjoyed.

On Thursday I had the chance to meet Aimee Song, blogger of Song of Style, and she was very sweet and looked amazing in her Micheal Kors outfit. I found it inspiring to meet someone who started out blogging in San Francisco and has made her career out of it.

And today I spent my morning at Jones celebrating Jennifer’s birthday with a fabulous brunch. Jennifer is the blogger behind Just Add Glam and I am excited to hear she’ll be part of a panel for PoshFest, which is only 2 weeks away! I need to start my outfits for that weekend.

Hope you had a great weekend and until next time,

Indian Summer

Posted on October 15, 2014by Brandy Saldana

Anargosa Print Dress Trina Turk (Similar dress (here) | Feather Earrings Wet Seal | Bow Off-White Wedges Kimchi Blue (Similar here) | Nude Voyage Satchel JUST FAB | Sunglasses DGOver the weekend I was busy attending street festivals in SF and Berkeley along with enjoying the warm, Indian Summer we’ve been experiencing here. Now that is it cold and muggy (with chances of rain) I am surprised we even had that type of weather recently.

This dress is from my personal shopping trip I won last year thanks to an Instagram contest hosted by Boutique Stroll. I had one-on-one time with the boutique owner, cupcakes and champagne, and a discount on purchases I made that day. I fell for the colors and pattern of this dress and wore it to Poshfest in Vegas last year. I did not get a chance to share my experience from that either, but I enjoyed it so much that I will be attending again this year. Tickets are still available and are 20% off this week if you are interested in attending too. It will be held in San Francisco next month. Details are on the Eventbrite page here. i am already at a loss for what to wear, but now that the rain and fog is rolling in I can’t wait to bust out my Fall clothes.

I am also really excited to share that I was featured on WE HEART IT’s Community Spotlight this week. You can check out the full interview here and follow/check out my WE HEART IT account here.

Until next time,
