Forecast Rain {Boots}

What I'm Wearing:

Bobeau Sweater {old, similar here and here}// Black Jeans // Splendid Tank // Prada Bag // Hunter Boots

It felt like we were experiencing a hurricane last Friday morning!  Of course, when the rain comes we Californians are always so dramatic.  The bad news is that people drive like crazy and the freeways are usually in a state of standstill, but the good news is that I get to wear my Hunter rain boots.  You see, we don't get a lot of opportunity to appropriately show them off here, so when even just a drop falls, these babies are definitely on display.

It's suppose to rain a lot this week, so I'll be ready.  Been awhile since we've endured long rainy days and I think its such a good excuse to just lazy around with hot cocoa and PJs! :)  Hope you all have a good week...be safe out there!

XOXO,

Weekend Attire {Wedged Bootie}

Outfit Details:

J. Crew Jacket {old, similar here and here} // Black leggings // H&M Scarf {old, love this and this} // Express Cuffed wedge Bootie {On Sale NOW}

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!  Seriously the holiday weekend went by too fast!  It was nice to celebrate with family, start our holiday shopping and just lazy around with the Hubbs and Baby J.

If haven’t noticed, I don’t do flats very well….like ever.  Not really even on weekends.  I prefer heels and anything that gives me a little more height.  What’s that saying….”the higher the heel, the closer to God”, right?  Well, I’d like to be very close to the Lord.  :)  But running around with a new baby makes it a bit more difficult to wear cute heels, so I love wedges.  Its the next best thing! I scored this wedge bootie at Express on Black Friday! They are pretty comfortable, perfect for casual weekends, and the faux suede makes it look high end.

What are your favorite weekend comfy shoes?

XOXO,

Lydia

Fall Scarves and Vegan Leather

Outfit Details:

Sandra Ingrish Tunic // Faux Leather Pants // Michael Stars Scarf {old, love this one} // Celine Bag // Ivanka Trump Pumps

Fall weather still comes and goes here in Southern California.  In fact, it's still quite warm for November.  But minor details like weather is not going to stop me from dressing for the season! I especially love big cozy scarfs this time of year.  This grey and black scarf has been my go to the last few weeks...it goes with everything.  Also my go-to as of late is button up tops.  You know, for easy access to Little J's milk station.  Having a baby adds another layer of consideration when dressing oneself.  Gone are the days where I can just thrown on anything I want.  Now I have to consider not only style but convenience and utility for breastfeeding.  Ahh motherhood!

Have a great Monday y'all!


xoxo,
Lydia

Style File: Bold Classics

Leather and ankle pumps are becoming everyday staples in my closet.  They are so simple and classic, and yet can dress up any look! 

This look definitely reflects my need for simplicity after a busy work week.  The comfortable neutral tones and clean lines brings together a polished look, which is so my style! For a night out, a bright studded clutch and statement necklace completes the ensemble with a tiny bit of edginess.

Weekend Style

Sometimes, weekends just call for casual comfort.  A pair of jeans. A form-fitting sweater.  Statement necklace.  And bam...you can stylishly tackle any weekend chore!

Oh, and if it isn't obvious.  I'm so ready for Spring!

Happy February to all!

Style File: Pleats & {faux} Leather

I wore this outfit to a business dinner this week.  Its always a challenge finding pieces that ensembles classy, professional and yet unbearably chic.  I think a good pleated skirt, leopard accents and a fancy {faux} leather-sleeved blazer might just be the right combo!

This outfit easily takes me from boardroom to happy hour!
