Sometimes all it takes is a pop and a cinch to take a piece of clothing to next. 

This retro shirtdress can stand alone quite well, but with an unexpected pop of red, a dress suddent become a look.

I opted for white kicks because that seems to be the only footwear of choice to wear with dresses these days, haven't you heard? And seen? It's a fail-proof plan for street style success.

A gold pencil skirt is something I oddly didn't have in my closet until recently. I ask myself why? I love pencil skirts, and gold is the most regal hue of the rainbow, of course.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a bevy of gilded pencil skirts over the internet to choose from. For holiday dressing, I don't think it gets chicer than this. From office to party, or in this downtown LA prance, from museum to museum, a gold pencil skirt is so.right.now.

{Oh, and it's only $26.}

I'll keep droppin' crotches until the end of time. 

You'll find me in a walker at the nursing home when I'm 95 droppin' the lowest crotch in the game.

It'll never get old.

It feels so right.

It was a Naomi Campbell-approved fashion jungle at the Balmain x H&M VIP preview shopping event in Los Angeles. Imagine celebrities, high profile fashion stylist, and reality stars in one room mauling each other over small, delicately stacked racks of leather, pearls, and studs. It was like a leopard, cheetah, and tiger fighting for each other's spots. 

Such was the case last week at the Balmain x H&M launch event-- but guess who came out victorious? Wink, wink {see above and below photos of me wearing a head to toe lewk}.

Although I can't link to these direct items to purchase on my site (unless you're willing to pay 5x retail price and scout the items on eBay), I've instead suggested similar pieces for friendly price points.

Moto leather pants are a must for a stylish wardrobe, and an updated pearl-encrusted shirt is a no-fail for this fall season. I scored with Balmain-- but you can too, by shopping below! 

This is one of those MIC DROP moments.

Can life get any sweeter than head to toe matte sequins? 

Whether you roll head to toe or just pick one-- each of these sequin pieces are utter perfection. Notice on the pants and shirt that the sequins give off a multi-directional feel? That's done on purpose. Simply with the brush of your own hand, you can push the sequins into place to make them all one-directional or, what I did, an organized chaos of excitement. 

Not much else to say here. Wish I could wear this everyday...

Black and white and fresh all over. We're spotting this old school/new school simple combo pop up on runways and in street style all over the globe.

The best part of the black and white movement? It satisfies every fashionista's desire: splurge on a black and white designer handbag (luxury never goes out of style in black and white), or save on a timeless wear to work combo like this ruffle blouse and a-line skirt.

It's one of those trends where you physically cannot regret your purchase. Black and white items in your wardrobe always smile back at you... 

I've put all of my crop tops, mini skirts, and party dresses aside... for the summer season is long gone and the new definition of sexy falls in line with words like chunky, thick, and nubby... sweaters that is!

It's almost as if the seasons change at just that perfect time where the thought of one more midriff-bearing shirt is complete foul play! {Or is it because football season lends to heavy on the beers and burgers?} Regardless, sweater season is here, and I like it!

The easiest way to transition into fall sweaters is a basic black sweater dress. I've highlighted some of my favorite fall finds in my Shop The Look section below. Happy shopping!

It takes a chick who's lived in LA for a few years to really appreciate a head to toe denim outfit. 

Such was the case with this denim trench and patchwork boyfriend jeans that kept me half sporty, half spicy-- the perfect combination of cool for fall.

Have you invested in fall denim yet? I've highlighted some of my favorite unique denim buys for fall in my Shop The Look section below. The best part? They're all under $200! Happy shopping!
