Winter

Touch of Pink

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Black Princess Coat Steve Madden | Pleated Cardigan Merona | Pink Marston Silk Top Diane Von Furstenberg | Skirt and Necklace Forever 21 | Black Leggings H&M | Scarf Marc Jacobs Neiman Marcus x Target | Black Zeda Boots Madden GirlA little pop of color to an all black outfit. I liked how my teardrop statement necklace almost looks pink against my top. I was glad to be dressed up today and I look forward to being able to wear heels and not worry about walking around campus. Until then, comfortable shoes are a must! I tend to stray away from jewelry during cold days because it is just not practical and competes with scarfs and gloves. Today I feel I found a balance with my necklace and scarf. They work really well together!
I have been working on my closet clean out during my spare time. I’ll be taking some items to Crossroads and I will also be posting some items to my Poshmark account. At the moment I have about 3 listings but I will get around updating it by this weekend. I would rather not be too overwhelmed by posting all of my items but plan to take my winter clothes to Crossroads and selling my spring/summer clothes on Poshmark. This way I can clear out my apartment sooner rather than later. Check it out and I will follow your closet back if you follow mine!

Black Pea Coat

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Pea Coat Rave, Black Cowl Neck Sweater NY&C, Infinity Scarf Missoni for Target, Earmuffs Material Girl, Jeans and Ring Forever 21, Boots BambooThis pea coat and I go way back. I have had it since high school, and it is still a classic winter staple. I’ve taken really good care of it and it saw a lot of wear the first couple of years here in the bay area because of the cold winters. I now feel my black steve madden princess coat is my favorite, but this one will always be the pea coat in my closet.

Today was really cold, just like almost everywhere else in the country, and I have had to wear sweaters and jeans a lot lately. I am really trying to wear what I have and not buy anything new, but the rest of my closet feels slightly neglected because it has been so cold and because I have been doing more walking around at work. By Wednesday I plan on dressing up to break away from this jean and sweater cycle!

Stay warm and thanks for reading!

Time to relax and unwind and what better way to do it than by wearing some comfy jeans, a loose sweater, and spiked sneakers. I just received these sneakers and I purchased them through eBay. I had been looking for them for about a year and almost gave up hope. I cannot wait to wear them again!
Thanks for reading and I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Kate Spade Purse

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Navy Blazer, Black Pants, Rings Forever 21, Red Sweater New York & Co., Red Quilted Purse Kate Spade, Gold Flats  Coach, Scarf Marc Jacobs, Watch Marc by Marc JacobsIf I was wearing my computer glasses in this photo, I would look like I was ready to go back to school!

I received this purse as a gift from one of my coworkers because she believed I would use it more often than her and it was too beautiful to not pass down to a good home. Hopefully I have made her proud by pairing a classic, quilted bag in a bold color with a navy, red-pinstriped blazer.

This outfit is similar to yesterday’s, but I wore flats today because I running errands around campus all afternoon. So I technically was at school in my preppy get-up. I love this bag and I am excited about wearing it with other outfits. It is not my typical color choice because a neutral like black is always safe, but I like the bold red color of the bag.

On a side note, I am thinking of changing my blog name because of all the positive feedback I have received sharing photos of cupcakes and events that I have covered. What do you think? I am open to suggestions. My goal is to purchase my domain name once I complete a year of blogging (which is coming up soon!)

V-Neck Sweater

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Blazer and Jeans 7 for all Mankind, Grey V Neck Sweater August Silk, Stacked Rings and Panda Necklace Forever 21,  Black Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve Madden, Black Scarf Marc Jacobs, Watch Marc by Marc JacobsAfter a busy Monday, I decided to go back to basics because I felt so relaxed and stress-free! I like that most of the pieces are inspired by menswear. Adding the heels gives the right amount of femininity to balance the masculine pieces.
I have been wearing this scarf a lot and I don’t believe I will be stopping anytime soon. I usually try not to wear something too much because I end up wanting to preserve it, but this scarf just works with everything in my closet and it is perfect for this weather.
Thank you for all the nice comments regarding the cupcakes my sister and I made! They are very encouraging and I am looking forward to sharing more photos of cupcakes I make in the future.

Pink Boots

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

Grey Bomber Divided by H&M, Top Zac Posen for Target, Black pants and Ring Forever 21,  Pink Kallee Suede Boots Steve MaddenI managed to take this photo right before the rain came down!
I have been super busy at home baking cupcakes for an event on Monday and spending time with my family. It can be difficult to manage sometimes, but better me posting late than never!
I have worn these boots before, and it is typically with tops that have a similar shade of pink so that both articles of clothing pop. I love pink and these boots are one of two pairs that are not black or grey that I own. They are very comfortable and I own them in black too! I would own them in very color if I could because they are so versatile and cute!
Hope you are having a great weekend and I will be posting my cupcake pictures on Monday once the final product is assembled, so stay tuned!
