Jean Jacket Heritage 1981 | Wrap Dress Diane Von Furstenberg | White Crossbody Bag Coach | Flats Christian Louboutin | Sunglasses Tory Burch | Necklace Forever 21Lately I have been wearing these Tory Burch sunglasses a lot, and it is primarily because it has been sunny, and because they are so versatile. I usually purchase black shades, but I might need to purchase so more brown ones!
I had my New Employee Orientation today, despite no longer being a new employee, and I learned a lot about benefits and retirement. It felt almost too grown up for me. I can’t believe sometimes that I am an “adult” and have to think about the future in that way. It is finals week on campus, and I feel like my mind should be more focused on that and as if I should be studying for a test or writing a paper. I’m glad I don’t have to do anything like that, but I know I should be doing something productive like job hunting or working on my resume. That and working on my photography and Adobe skills. I wish there was more time in the day, butI just need to stop getting addicted to shows on TV.
Anyways, thought this looks worked for the super nice weather we had today. It’s finally beginning to feel like Spring decided to stay!

Green Chloe Dress

Posted on April 27, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Green Crepe Dress Chloe | Lion Pack Belt Deena & Ozzy | Cuff Forever 21 | Black Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve Madden | Similar look hereDifferent hairstyle today! I feel one always has really good hair days, and others not so much. I have also been feeling a bit blah when having the same look everyday (even though it works for me). I really like how this bun came out, and it was so simple! I can see myself using it with future outfits more often! I even wore lipstick (a really neutral shade) because I felt this look required some.
This Chloe dress was purchase at Crossroads recently, and so was the belt! The belt, however, was purchased about 3 years ago, and I had only worn it once before with an oxford shirt. The shades of bronze really compliment the dress, and it seems as if the two pieces were made for each other. This is another example why some pieces should not be tossed out of your closet because you never know when you might something that works well with it. This look is one of my favorites, and it reminded me of maybe what an art curator or librarian would wear. I am just missing the reading glasses.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Tunic

Geometric Print Tunic Marc by Marc Jacobs | Belt Wet Seal | Cardigan, leggings, ring Forever 21 | Flats Steve Madden, Bag Coach Poppy | Similar look here | Photos by Jason N
Some days I wake up knowing exactly what to wear, but I love days like today where I have no clue and discover something I had forgotten about in my closet and pull together a new look. This tunic was something I found once again at Crossroads Trading Co, and now that I am out of hangers I had it hiding under a Marc Jacobs Coat. I loved the navy and raspberry pink colors on this and could not help noticing it while digging around my closet. I tried it on and then realized it needed to be belted. The obi belt is one I have had since high school, and I believe today is the first time I have worn it. Some things should just never be thrown away because you never know when you might be able to find a perfect match for it.

Colorful

Posted on April 25, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Raspberry Pink Cardigan, Black Slacks, Peacock Ring and Stack of Colorful Bangles Forever 21 | Top Diane Von Furstenberg | Black Patent Heaven Flats Steve Madden (here) | Similar look hereI am trying to work color in everyday to avoid being boring and only wearing black. Spring is the time to really embrace color to dispel the winter blues (and all that dark clothing.) I am wearing black pants and shoes, but this is so I do not overwhelm the colors I have on now. Accessories are an easy way to really add that pop of color to an outfit.
I am usually unable to provide links for the items I am wearing because my clothes are usually thrifted or from many seasons ago. I think that is the best way to be unique and express one’s individual sense of style because it is highly unlikely you’ll bump into someone wearing the exact same thing. And while my goal is to help someone decide what to wear with my posts for a certain event or with a certain piece, my input is not meant to be the rule. I’d prefer to be a source of inspiration as opposed to a source for imitation.
That being said, the ring and bangles are actually somethings I bought recently at Forever 21. I bought quite a few accessories from there as a small treat for myself. The ring is one size fits all, and at first I thought it was a funky shape, but was happy to see it was a peacock. I like how it works with the colors of my top.

How do you incorporate color into your look?

Brunch in San Francisco

Posted on April 22, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Leather Bomber Jacket, Gemstone Necklace and Multi Color bracelets Forever 21 | Top Diane Von Furstenberg | White Denim Jeans Vanilla Star | Gold Metallic Peep-toe Flats Christian Louboutin Another day in SF, this time for brunch at the Palace Hotel on New Montgomery Street. This was part 2 of Mando’s birthday weekend, and I must say it was quite an awesome breakfast! It was an all-you can eat buffet with delicious food and we were eating in their gorgeous hall where breakfast and afternoon tea is served. Next time we come to San Francisco we will need to do a photo shoot in the hotel because the lobby and entrance are simply stunning!
Afterwards we headed to Pier 39 in an effort to compare different cameras. I am on the hunt, and thanks to Mando’s tips, I am more aware of what features I want on a camera and how I can use mine more effectively until I make my purchase. Overall, he had a good time this weekend and to me that is all that matters.

Wrap Top

Posted on April 20, 2012by Brandy Saldana

Vintage Print Wrap Top Diane Von Furstenberg | Pencil Skirt and Tiger Bracelet Forever 21 (similar skirt here) | Black Bag Mulberry for Target | Black Patent Ulltra Heels Steve Madden | Black Princess Coat Steve Madden (here)I am so glad it is almost Friday just because work has been so overwhelming. Our office is undergoing some major changes that we have currently been preparing for. I enjoy busy work days over slow ones because it helps time past by faster (and is not as boring), but at the same time it almost tires me out by the end of the day that all I have energy for is taking a photo and uploading it. I am glad it has become a habit, but little by little I hope to improve what I write about as well as the photos that I post. Outdoor photos are a lot better than the ones in my apartment since the old building I live in has poor lighting to begin with. Bare with me as I am currently camera shopping and will more than likely buy a new one at the beginning of next month.
I found this wrap top this last weekend at Crossroads Trading Co., along with a few other goodies, and I just love mixing things from used clothing stores with items I purchased brand new. I also prefer outfits with a variety of designers/labels as opposed to everything coming from the same store. That is when outfits become special, or unique, in my opinion.
