Soiree

Wearing: Express portofino dress (also have it in blue), Halogen bootie (a must-have), J Crew factory clutch, BP Nordstrom necklace (check stores)

Baublebar bracelet, Revlon ultimate suede lipstick in "Backstage". Nails are China Glaze in "Emerald Fitzgerald".

In keeping with last week's party theme, I decided to bring out my favorite glamorous combination for hubby's company Christmas party - black and gold. When in doubt, I always stick to this no-fail palette because I know it works for any event or special occasion. It always looks put together and classic. So do wine colored lips! It was my first attempt at such a dark color and I absolutely loved the result. I think I'm going to repeat the makeup look I wore over and over this holiday season.

Fall Lookbook

Now that Fall is coming to end, I want to share my lookbook for the season. I know most of you have already been experiencing Winter weather for awhile, but it's just now been cold enough here in southern California to really make people feel like Winter is around the corner. And when I say now, I literally mean now. I just checked the temps for next week and it's going to get back up into the 70's! Hardly Wintertime.

Fall trends are my absolute favorite so I hope you enjoy these outfits! Most can be layered with coats, tights, and boots to transition into Winter. My first lookbook (Summer) can be found here.

Unlike Summer where I was all about color, Fall has been more neutral. I have been reaching for black a lot, and that's something I never thought I'd do again after gravitating toward color the past couple of years. I'm sure once Spring hits, that will change. The beauty of fashion is that you can reinvent yourself every day. For now though, I think I'll stick to jewel tones, sparkle, black and gold, and of course...my favorite pumps! 

What did you wear a lot this season?

It's a date

Wearing: H&M blazer, Express blouse and flats, Loft modern skinny jeans, Banana Republic clutch, House of Harlow necklace

I love a good date night. Despite the fact that I'm married, I still find it important to "date" my husband. Things are so hectic during the week that we hardly have any time to really spend together. Friday night rolls around and we try to do our best to go out and do something fun together. These little moments make all the difference in the world. Plus, it's a great excuse to get a little dolled up :)

Speaking of which, is it Friday yet? This week has been tough and I'm looking forward to the end!

Hope you're having a better time!
