T G I F !

A bunch of my favorite pieces are in this post. I naturally reach for clothes based on comfort and this outfit is just that. It's important to invest in key pieces that are a marriage of comfort and style. Soft flowy tops and faux leather leggings aren't going anywhere anytime soon and I could live in them!

It also felt like it was a dark lips kinda day. I'm wearing Black Dahlia by Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. It's a really great dark lip color to have around. You can build the color from a plum shade to a purple-black. Go check out their line of Lip Tars and I guarantee that you won't be disappointed. The colors are highly pigmented, mixable, nourishing, and have a great finish. I have a bunch in my makeup kit. You can find them online (link below) and I'm pretty sure they're selling at Sephora now. 

So thankful that California winters are much less brutal than east coast winters but it still gets cold enough for leopard coats. I'll be bringing this baby back east with me for Xmas ;)...and yes I'll be reppin CA

It's wonderful when you've been with your significant other for 8+ years and you're still waking up every morning beaming from ear to ear because you love him so freaking much. The cherry on top is that I love his family the way I love my own family. The first day I met them I knew they were going to be my family too. His mom is my west coast mom and I'm so lucky to have her. She and I get to bond over fashion, shoes, makeup, jewelry, and Channing Tatum ;). Before his parents moved to CA from Boston, his mom gave me a ton of amazing vintage designer clothing-it felt literally like xmas morning. Last week, she brought out this dress and told me that if I liked it I could have it. I put the dress on and my jaw literally dropped. I was in love. It is the most perfect black dress I've ever put on. I'm in love with the weight of the material, the cut, the movement, and how it's incredibly feminine but also so structured. Vintage is simply the best.

obsessed: with my new Eddera floral ring.
