And it continues -- round two of my plaid on plaid obsession. Missed the first round? No need to worry, I got you covered right here.
Special thanks to my lovely coworker, Paulette for snapping these photos.

Found a new discounted designer boutique near my apartment (dangerous!) and scooped up this neon yellow number, because, well, my life has been lacking in neon lately. Added bonus: I have so many neutrals it goes smashingly with -- look for a remix soon!

You all know I have a penchant for colored (and patterened) trousers (ok, borderline obsession) but surprisingly enough, until recently, I didn't own a single pair of colored denim. That's why I was exited to try out this J. Brand pair (via the Lucky Fabb conference back in September) and fell in love for two main reasons: 1.) the terra cotta color is reminiscent of pumpkin spice (always a win in my book and perfect for fall color pairings) and 2.) transitions nicely for more of a weekend vibe, more so than their trouser counterparts.
This got me thinking: I've been missing out this whole time! Excuse me while I go kick myself and desperately rectify this situation by shopping around for more pairs of colored denim. Do any of you have some favorite hues or brands I should check out?

Picked up this sheer-like Rebecca Minkoff dress recently (super on sale at Shopbop!) and have been having quite a bit of fun pairing it with seemingly edgier/more casual pieces, like this vest. Not too dressed up, not too casual, just right for a stroll around our neighborhood at sunset.
How was your weekend?

Almost forgot about these outfit photos that I took a few months ago -- almost seems silly now to look at bare arms with fall already here!
Hope you all have a beautiful weekend!

Currently having a moment with silver jewelry and accents. It's a nice change of pace from the gold I normally sport (although you'll never catch me without my trusty gold watch)!

With the month of October already upon us, I was incredibly happy to team up with HUDSON jeans for their October Breast Cancer Awareness campaign -- aiming to not only spread awareness but raise money to help find a cure.
And you can help, too. For ever pair of HUDSON jeans sold during the month of October, $5 will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Of course, if you're interested to find other ways you can help, simply visit the BCRF site.
As for the sign I'm holding above here? HUDSON asked myself and several other fellow bloggers to write out a declaration for something we "choose." I felt choosing to be proactive was not only fitting, but can make a world of a difference in detecting and treating the early signs of breast cancer. Make sure to give yourself regular exams and contact your doctor immediately if you notice any irregularities.
This shirt is quickly becoming an MVP for me (most recently seen here and here) -- the bright teal almost mint green look of it is too hard to resist while getting dressed in the morning!
What are you guys cycling through these days? Any trusty repeat pieces?

Having another plaid moment, er, at the moment. After showing off my bold plaid outfit earlier this week, I'm tempted to try my hand at it again! Stay tuned! More plaid coming your way soon.
In the meantime, hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I love pairing the most unlikeliest of things together -- daytime, cuddly cable knit sweaters with evening sequins. Made for a comfortable, yet glamorous rainy day.
1.) Moonlight Mile Necklace, Lizzie Fortunato Jewels, available at Charm & Chain
2.) Labyrinth Maze Collar, Fallon, available at Charm & Chain
3.) Airtex Leather Shirt Collar, Asos
4.) Naomi Necklace, Dannijo, available at Charm & Chain
After seeing more than a few choker style necklaces in the spring and summer collections, I can't seem to stop scooping these guys up. It started out at H&M (which has an awesome assortment right now, by the way) and now I'm being drawn to more intricate, even playful styles (like that leather collar you see above).
Sure, it's a bit of a 90s flashback, but I like how modern these pieces feel. How about you guys? Craving any chokers for fall?
OK -- I gave in. These Alexander Wang Fabiana cape heels just had to come home with me. And seeing as how they add the perfect amount of a quirky wink to any outfit, I don't regret it.
Stay tuned -- outfit post to come with these bad boys!

Remember my serendipitous shopping incident that I told you about last week with this trench? Well turns out, Kim of Eat.Sleep.Wear and I were channeling the same sartorial vibes as well not too long ago. Over some pretty late night Gchat conversations preparing our already over-stuffed suitcases for New York Fashion Week, we learned that we both have this same plaid suit from H&M (which was such a steal by the way -- under $50 for both pieces!). Of course, the play-it-by-the-rules girls inside of us said "You just can't wear the suit on the same day! That's fashion sin!"
But what did we do?
We wore it on the same day. And LOVED every minute of it!< Unfortunately, we didn't snap any photos together in our matching suits but a handful of other photographers did as we were heading in for the Tibi show. So if any of you guys see it floating around out there, please let me know! I would really appreciate it and so would Kim (who you can check out here, rocking her plaid suit as well!).
Now tell me -- do any of you own this suit? Would love to see how you styled it!

Spent Saturday helping a friend shop for shoes for her wedding (that will be in Hawaii, no less!). And you all know how much I loathe shoes so she really had to twist my arm to get me to come along (wink, wink).
How was your weekend? Any highlights?

A few short weeks ago I had the chance to spend a lovely afternoon in NYC with two of my favorite bloggers, Alicia of Cheetah is the New Black and Helena of Brooklyn Blonde. After a relaxing brunch (sipping bellinis no less!) we headed out for a bit of shopping in Soho, eventually getting lost into the depths of Topshop (you're not surprised, are you?). About a half an hour later, reconvening in front of the fitting room, we couldn't help but laugh: we ALL grabbed this same Burberry-esque trench coat.
Now how's that for great minds thinking alike?
And today for your viewing pleasure, do go check out Helena and Alicia, to see how they've styled their jacket! I'll meet you over there!

For those of you who follow me on Twitter, you might recognize this skirt as one of the golden treasures I scooped up yesterday while shopping on Haight street. Now if I had only shown up a mere minutes earlier to my favorite vintage haunt, Wasteland, I would have walked away with the most breathtakingly beautiful pair of YSL heels, ever. Can't win 'em all though, right?
Just some of my favorite recent detail shots -- with a slight bias toward shoes.
I have to admit. I was pleasantly surprised (in the best way possible) by Tibi's spring/summer collection. Stepping away from her penchant for prints, this go around was chock-full of solid color pieces with some of the most incredible draping around. Mustard, mint, cobalt blue, kelly green and coral? I'll take two scoops of each, please! And don't (I repeat, don't) get me STARTED on the shoes.
Loved the drama of Badgley Mischka's latest collection! The gowns were absolutely gorgeous with sheer chiffon and ruffled layers in some of the juiciest, most saturated tones around (including my favorite combination: teal and robin's egg blue as seen in the sixth photo). Definitely looking forward to seeing some of these on the red carpet once the award shows start up.
1.) New Tracy Reese dress with a delicious chevron print.
2.) Mint colored rhinestone necklace? Yes please! (Snag your own here from this adorable Esty shop Spike the Punch.)
3.) New (to me) Chloe two-tone ankle strap heels. Love the suede detailing on these beauts!
What are you currently loving these days?
You know, after almost a week of shows and presentations, I can't tell you how refreshing it was to watch the Betsey Johnson runway show. Not that I necessarily relate to her designs or wear her clothes that often, but because Betsey Johnson knows how to have FUN. Capital F, capital U, capital N. FUN. From the models giggling down the runway and blowing kisses to Nicki Minaj tunes blasting, there wasn't a single person there NOT smiling.
Now that, I think we can all cartwheel to (which, you guessed it, Betsey is about to do in that last photo).

Somehow, these photos didn't quite turnout with the wind blown effect I was hoping for. Luckily, these Isabel Marants I snagged on sale on ebay cheer me up, no matter what crazy things my hair might be doing.
The hair! The printed pants! The short suits! The bags! The Man Repeller! Phew! Rebecca Minkoff, I tip my hat to you, ma'am. Brava! Brava!

Ah, so great to be back in San Francisco to enjoy our belated summer! (Not that it wasn't plenty warm in NYC, but the humidity was killing me after day three.) I enjoyed an eventful weekend of resting my feet (aside from these quick photos) and window shopping on Fillmore Street. Picked up these mustard yellow pants after hanging out with Taylor at Lincoln Center when she was sporting hers. The color is just too perfect to pass up -- especially when our Indian Summer fades and it's time for all things emerald, berry and gem toned for fall. Can't wait!
Hands down -- Rachel Roy's Spring/Summer collection was my favorite from the trip. Every single piece, from the pops of coral and aquamarine blue to the asian detailing and floral patterns putting a spin on traditional menswear tailoring, was something I immediately wanted to take home with me. (Did you see all those cropped trousers? They have my name ALL over them!) I love how Rachel seemingly designs for herself and it sings in her work. Absolutely sings.

You all have probably seen this outfit one too many times -- but my friend Meghan took such great shots I figured I should reshare my first outfit of New York Fashion Week (even if it meant an outfit repeat on my part). I love how statement red looks when worn together like this and have been scheming up other monochromatic outfits ever since. Speaking of which, how darling is Taylor's all green look? Perhaps I should try yellow next? Or blue?
