I'm a black on black on black girl through and through but there is always an exception. In my case, an amazeballs pair of WHITE cat eye sunnies from Nasty Gal. Yup, you read correctly...I said WHITE. When Nasty Gal ran a killer "sale on sale" a few weeks ago I couldn't help myself. I mean who can resist a rad pair of sunnies for seven bucks?! Not me, totes obvi. A little white on white, every meow and again, never hurt anybody.

If you've been following my blog for any extended amount of time I'm sure you're familiar with my Reformation obsession. So when I was in NY this past weekend I totes-obvi-duh had to pop into the soho ref store. Uggggggh SO MUCH GOOD STUFF. I was finally able to try on a handful of the dresses that have been sitting in my virtual shopping cart for months now. Anyone with a slight online virtual window shopping addiction can agree that more often than not, pieces look super fab online (thanks to model babes, styling, photography, perfect lighting, etc.) and then lack the same magic in person. Let me just say this. Ref pieces look just as amazeballs, if not more amazeballs, in person as on their instagram. Amongst my fitting room stack was this backless blue velvet dress. Velvet? Blue?? Dress??? Yes. For some reason I love that it's reminiscent of a figure skater's competition garb, blame my twelve years of intense ballet training if you will. The "charm dress" lives up to its name and is perfect for a night out (hello, new year's eve!!) or for the day under a baggy sweatshirt. Although it's not available online in the blue, grab it in black or maroon to be a total #refbabe and solve your holiday dress dilemma all at once.

I spent the past five days in my favorite city for meetings and adventures galore. My refusal to wear pants, instead opting for tights/skirt/boots combo, proved for a chilly long weekend. Even my iPhone committed suicide, while fully charged, from the cold. Ugh, technology. Only got lost once (nighttime... Chinatown...heeled booties..don't ask,) didn't get sick, shopping shopping shopping, made it to all of my meetings and the only physical damage I left with involves severely windburned lips. All in all, a very successful trip. I always forget how much I love New York. Now excuse me while I plan my next trip back A$AP.

Stopped by Urban Outfitters on Halloween and they just happened to have an amazing sale going on. Picked up this super sweet oversized blazer for FIVE DOLLARS. Yeah, I basically died. Am I the only one who gets a high from scoring a great deal?! Literally left the store walking on sunshine.With my addictive nature you could probably have guessed that yup, I've been wearing this bf-fit blazer daily. Here I'm wearing it over my favorite graphic tee and a simple jersey mini. As I've explained before, I really love keeping the rest of my outfit tomboy-fitting when I'm wearing a skirt and showing a lotta leg. Also been really into navy blue/black color combo as of late. Tied my Monday look together with the cutest studded crossbody by Remi & Reid and buckled ankle booties. Loved this outfit so much I couldn't help but dance around for the pics. Happy Tuesday, babes!
