Outfit

Sergeant Pepper

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Marching Band Jacket H&M | Necklace Subversive for Target | Destroyed Jeans ZCO Jeans | Spike Ring Forever 21 | Gold Beatrix Spiked Flats Sam EdelmanI am sharing an outfit from last month that is more Cal colors than patriotic, but I love how the jacket still has a slight military feel. Gold and navy is a classic combination and I feel this look is perfect to watch fireworks from the rooftop. I am looking forward to doing that tonight!
Happy 4th of July!
(For those of you celebrating today have fun and be safe! Enjoy the BBQs, fireworks, and parades but never forget the true meaning of today.)

Hidden Treasures

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Top, Skirt, and Necklace Forever 21 | Cardigan Wet Seal | Flats Steve Madden | Sunglasses DG
I attended 2 events back-to-back on Wednesday and I am very excited to be sharing my coverage of those events this weekend. Be prepared to be amazed and awed by the stunning photographs Armando takes as well!
This outfit is from a few weeks ago and wore it for casual Friday. It amazes me how quickly the Bay Area goes from cold and gloomy to bright and sunny with the flip of a switch. As you saw from my last outfit post,  instead of dressing like it was the middle of winter I finally was able to dress the way one should in June.
I adore this outfit and feel like I should be going on a picnic with this! It looks like a dress, but it is so deceiving! It is just a top tucked into a high-waist skirt. I love to match, and that must be obvious given all my other posts. I wanted this look to be very girly so I added the dainty charm necklace, nude ruffle flats, and sweet tan cardigan. The lace back detail on the cardigan adds another layer of deception and I love that it matches with the engraving on one of the charms in my necklace! I am obviously a big fan of little details like this.
Hope you’ll come back to read about the fun times I had at the events I attended this weekend. As a reminder, Google Friend Connect will be discontinued so I hope you’ll add via Google Plus or follow me on Bloglovin to stay up-to-date with all of my posts.

Shades of Grey…and Black

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Black Trench Luii | Grey Sweater August Silk | Slacks Theory | Silver Beatrix Flats Sam Edelman | Sparrow Ring and Headband Forever 21 | Scarf Marc Jacobs | Petal to the Metal Natasha Bag Marc by Marc JacobsIt’s hard to believe that the first day of summer was last Friday because the past 2 days have been cloudy with sporadic showers. 
Needless to say, I’ve been dressing warm and focused more on comfort than style. This outfit is actually from  two weeks ago, but the weather was gloomy and cold too. Despite my outfit being completely all black, I really like how fun the look turned out. One of the student interns at my office said my look was very sophisticated and that I looked like someone who should be walking the streets of New York. I loved that idea considering it was my dream city to live in. (I love Berkeley for now, especially because it is so close to San Francisco!) I envision this outfit worn to visit a museum or as something comfortable (and warm) to wear while flying to another city. 
Speaking of flying, I was so excited that my Sparrow ring matched my Marc by Marc Jacobs Bag that my first photo is me trying to fly like a bird. Gravity prevents me from succeeding, but I hope that explains my unique pose.
Thanks for checking out my latest outfit post! As a reminder Google Friend Connect is expiring July 1st. If you would like to stay updated with my outfits, recipes, and event posts make sure to follow me on Bloglovin’.

School Boy

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Blazer, T-Shirt and Ring Forever 21 | Red Shorts Erin Fetherston for Target | Gold Chain Necklace Found via Garage Sale | Gold Beatrix Flats Sam Edelman
Happy Friday Everyone!
I had an obsession with blazers last week and stuck to the same red and blue color scheme as I did with my Snow White look from Monday’s post. You know what they say, “if it ain’t broke don’t mess with it.”
Last Thursday, I went to watch Star Trek Into Darkness and wanted to be comfortable sitting in a theater and also something I could be cool in during the warm day. I opted to wear the shorts and I felt like a school boy ditching class to watch a movie. (The theater is located near a public high school, so I am sure that does happen often.) I channeled this inner rebel and translated that into my outfit with the chain details and the spikes on the flats. (Special thanks to +Inda Liza Luciano for letting me shop her closet and finding the cool chain necklace.) I’ll be wearing the necklace and the shorts a lot this summer, so be prepared to see them frequently!
Hope you enjoy the first Day of Summer and have a fun-filled weekend! If you are in the bay area tonight don’t forget Fashion Friday on the Plaza is happening in Oakland. Just in case you are interested in free wine and a different type of shopping experience.

Modern Day Snow White

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Navy Blazer Moschino Cheap and Chic | Cream Ruffle Blouse Ari & Kris | Red Quilted Handbag Kate Spade |Navy, Red, and Gold Print Scarf Pucci | Logan Glitter D’orsay Pumps Jimmy Choo | Apple Ring Forever 21 | Camera iPhone Case iCA GizmonHere is the outfit I wore to the +Eventbrite event that I wrote about on my last post. 
As I was getting dressed that morning, I thought of what I would call this post. At first I had just the navy and yellow mixed with the white blouse to represent Cal’s school colors. I wanted to incorporate the scarf so I added that to the Kate Spade bag, gifted to me from a co-worker, and immediately felt matchy-matchy and polished. Since I had all the primary colors going on I felt I looked like a school teacher, and so proceeded to add the apple ring because, for some reason, apples are associated with teachers and school.
Then I got to work and one of the student interns said the colors reminded them of +Disney’s Snow White. The apple ring surprised her and she could not believe the weird coincidence that I would pair that with the the colors from Snow White’s Dress! I watched pretty much all the Disney movies growing up, especially the Princess ones, and I can’t believe I didn’t think of my outfit as a Modern Day Snow White!
Needless to say I might be watching more Disney movies in the near future. Uh, you know, for outfit inspiration.

Eye of the Tiger

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Cardigan and Tiger Bangle Forever 21 | Emerald Green Silk Wrap Top Diane Von Furstenberg | Shiny Black Pants  Anchor Blue | Gold Glitter Bello Peep-Toe Wedges Jimmy ChooThis outfit is from last month and I wore it to a vendor fair for laser safety. I wanted to wear something relevant to the fair, so picked to wear my DVF wrap top that I found (new with tags) at Crossroads Trading Co. It is a bright green that I thought could be reminiscent of a laser beam (or light saber).
I love the color of this top and using it as my the base of my outfit, I picked out the Tiger Cuff I found at Forever 21 because of the emerald green eyes that matched my top. The gold helped me pick out the glitter wedges and belt as a way to compliment the rich green and black colors. I’ve worn these wedges a number of times already and I adore them! I am so glad I bought these in gold and silver! They make any outfit I wear just a little more interesting.
On Tuesday, I posted some photos on Instagram of Peanut Butter and Chocolate cupcakes I made and after some requests I decided to share the recipe for them on my next post. I have a bunch of outfit photos on my camera and will be covering a fashion event that I was invited to tonight, so I have a lot of fashion-related posts in the queue. But this blog is titled Will Bake for Shoes and it would be very silly if I didn’t include a recipe every now and then. So stay tuned for a yummy blend of peanut butter and chocolate coming your way later this week.
Thanks for reading! Brandy| BLOGLOVIN | FACEBOOK |  INSTAGRAM |TUMBLR | TWITTER |
