Butterflies

Posted on October 13, 2015by Brandy Saldana

Butterfly Print Navy Dress Closet London via Modcloth (here) | Magenta 3/4 Sleeve Cardigan New York & Co. | Nude Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve MaddenI have been obsessed with prints as of late, and this is one dress I can’t get enough of. I love the feminine silhouette, the fun butterfly print, and of course, the pockets! It has a cute sash that ties in the back, making this dress super girly and fun! Modcloth just has a way with dresses. Navy has definitely been one of my favorite colors, especially for the end of Summer. I wore this dress with a neutral trench and different heels when I attended my sister’s graduation, but I feel the cardigan makes the dress a little playful and compliments the rich shade of navy.
I am excited to share this post not only because of how much I love this dress, but also because of the great hair day I had thanks to Cinta Salon. I received a complimentary blowout when I attended the IFB relaunch party early in August, and I loved how I was pampered in such a short amount of time. My hair was kind of frizzy due to the heat when I arrived, but they fixed my hair up in no time. I love the soft curls I was left with, but most of all I really appreciated the very friendly staff. I really want to visit again! I rarely treat myself to a luxurious salon hair cut, but I feel like going to Cinta Salon for a haircut (or hair coloring?) again. I feel this needs to happen sometime before the year ends! I love that there is an option to request a hair stylist based on different levels of skill since it is connected to the Aveda school, so I won’t have to spend as much on the salon experience.
Hope you are having a great week!

Watercolors

Posted on October 9, 2015by Brandy Saldana

Black Trench Coat Luii | Watercolor Print Dress BYER California | Pink Bow Leather Belt Kate Spade | Navy Suede Ulltra Pumps Steve Madden | Cliff Gray Cedar Street Maise Purse Kate Spade (here) | Bow Bracelets Forever 21 | Jackie Oh II Sunglasses Ray-Ban (here) | Le Rouge 205 Fuchsia Irrestible Lipstick Givenchy (here) | This is my second time wearing this colorful dress that I picked up a BYER CA a few months ago, but I have no photos documenting the first time I wore this. I styled it with a long black cardigan, pink suede flats and used the braided belt that came with the dress, but I made some changes in how I wore it for this occasion. I found the belt at the Kate Spade outlet store when I visited the BYER California Outlet store. Of course, I had to wear my new bag, which has been my latest obsession as of late.

I love the watercolor brush stroke print, and the bright colors. I feel like I’ve leaned towards “light” dresses with bold prints lately, and it is such a difference from the typical dark outfits I used to wear. I think about how much my style has evolved and it has definitely gravitated to pieces I can wear more than once and statement making pieces.

I am happy to announce there is another BYER California store opening at the Napa Premium Outlets this weekend. There will be plenty of deals and Instagram contests going on to help you earn store credit. I encourage you to visit and to share the promo below since you can enjoy 50% off your purchase $50 or more through Sunday, October 11th.

I didn’t see the dress I am wearing listed on the website, but maybe it will be in store? I’ll be stopping by to check in the new spot and to take advantage of the sweet deals going on this weekend. Follow me on Instagram to see what I find!

Adam Lippes for Target

Posted on October 6, 2015by Brandy Saldana

Gray Draped Cardigan Splendid via LE TOTE (similar here) | Painterly Plaid Crepe Tank Top Adam Lippes for Target (here)| Black Knit Pencil Skirt Trina Turk | Play the Wild Card Idiom Bracelet Kate Spade | Gold Criss Cross Bangle Express | Black Studded and Gold Leather Wrap Bracelets E. Kammeyer Accessories (black/gold) | Antique Crystal Bracelet Noir Luxe via LE TOTE | Cedar Street Maise Cliff Gray Purse Kate Spade (here) | Black & White Plaid Pointed Toe Pumps Adam Lippes for Target (here) | It’s starting to feel like Fall (finally!) I love the plaid trend that has hit Target last month, especially the items from the Adam Lippes for Target collaboration. I picked up this top and pumps and what I love most about this collection is that items were actually available in stores and everything wasn’t sold out.
I struggled deciding between the plaid print flats or heels, and in the end I am pretty glad I went with the heels. They add a nice pop of print along with some height and I like the contrast there is with the top. I only picked up a few items from the collection, but I am interested in the bar set and tumblers for my bar cart. I am holding off on purchasing them until they go on sale, so fingers-crossed that they are around long enough for a discount on them.
I am debuting my latest Kate Spade bag. I’ve learned that the best way to save money is to unsubscribe from emails alerting you to sales. I picked up this Kate Spade Maise bag on flash sale, and luckily I was in the market for a new Fall bag. I love my black Kate Spade bag, but some days I want something smaller that can still hold my camera but also adjust as a cross body. This gray color is amazing and perfect for Fall. Now all I have to do is unsubscribe so that I am not tempted the next time there is a flash sale or surprise sale.
Did you pick up anything from the Adam Lippe collection? I’d love to see how you styled any of the pieces as well! It might convince me to pick up something else during my next target run.
Until next time,

Blue and Gold

Posted on February 10, 2015by Brandy Saldana

Light Beige Trench Coat Banana Republic Factory Store | Blue Tunisa Dress Diane von Furstenberg (here) | Gold Pen Necklace Kate Spade | Cedar Street Elissa Leather Tote Kate Spade (here) | Nadia Arrowhead Bracelet ADIA KIBUR via LE TOTE | Nude Unitty Patent Heels Steve MaddenHappy Monday!
I love the school colors of my Alma Mater, so when I found this amazing dress at Crossroads Trading Co. in a lovely shade of blue I knew right away that I had to pair it with some gold jewelry. (The color of the dress pops even more against the yellow building.) Showing school spirit doesn’t always require wearing a pullover hoodie, especially at work. I received a lot of compliments from my coworkers for this look and I definitely think it had a lot to do with the color scheme.
My Kate Spade bag has been my go-to with all of my outfits for work. It is the best size and I love how the structure stays in tack. It makes me question whether I will be going back to use any of my other bags. I’ve been posting clothes to my Poshmark closet, but I might need to kick up the pace. All the shopping I did over the holidays has caught up with me, and space/storage in my apartment has been my biggest concern. I have been researching some creative solutions on Pinterest, especially shoe displays. We’ll see if I can get to that soon.
Hope you are having a great week so far! I can’t wait to share my next outfit post with you. (Hint: It has to do with Valentine’s Day!)
Until next time,

Pleats and Lace

Posted on December 9, 2014by Brandy Saldana

Pleated Black Biselle Blouse Noir via LE TOTE | Black Lace Skirt Forever 21 (here) | Upper Cedar Elissa Tote Kate Spade (here) | Black Ulltra Patent Pumps Steve Madden | Emerald Cut Ring in Black Margaret Elizabeth via Rocksbox (buy here) |
Today’s outfit post is a mix of rented pieces and items have had a lot of appearances on the blog already. I built this outfit around the Briselle Blouse by Noir I rented from LE TOTE. I felt like my lace and tulle skirt was the perfect compliment to the delicate pleats and fluttering cap sleeves. I recently received the Margaret Elizabeth ring from Rocksbox and I would not expect to have loved Emerald cut rings, but I did! The price for the ring was pretty steep ($102 for members), but it is a gorgeous piece that I had a chance to try it out. I am currently on a different set and need to send back my current Rocksbox back for some pieces I can use for the holiday parties I’ll be attending. The black onyx color of the stone adds a lot of drama, and would definitely recommend trying it out with more rings.
I need to do buckle down and get some holiday shopping. I started getting into the holiday spirit and Armando and I put up our Christmas Tree in our apartment yesterday. Now to buy/make presents.
Hopefully you’ve gotten a lot further with your holiday shopping than I have, but if not you can always give a monthly subscription like Rocksbox to someone that loves changing up their jewelry. (Sign up here)
Until next time,
