Outfit: Top: Banana Republic / Necklace: c/o IBISS Boutique / Earrings: Stella & Dot / Lipstick: c/o Laura Mercier “Myth” / Pants: c/o IBISS Boutique / Bracelets: Tory Burch, JCrew and c/o Twisted Silver / Nail Polish: Deborah Lippmann “Private Dancer” / Handbag: Coach / Shoes: Prada (almost vintage) would also wear these and these.

Black and white is a huge trend for fall; but another combination I am in love with for the cool weather season is black and cream. I love this classic color combination and it feels more understated than black and white; especially in professional settings.

The print on this fabulous pair of pants from San Jose’s IBISS Boutique is funky and I love how this sweaterfrom Banana Republic offsets the print perfectly. The pants are made from an amazing polyester blend which does not wrinkle at all! These pants will be perfect for packing in my suitcase next month when I travel to New York Fashion Week. No ironing = love!

IBISS Boutique has a large selection of prints on pants, skirts, tops and dresses which are on-trend and perfect for transitioning from summer into fall. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, please take some time to check out this fabulous boutique. You can also shop from the IBISS website at MissIBISS.com.

Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 


Transition to fall: Wallis blazer

DSC1050 DSC1039 DSC1042

Outfit: Earrings: c/o Twisted Silver / Lipstick: c/o Laura Mercier “Sin” / Scarf: Karl Lagerfeld / Blazer: c/o Wallis / Blouse: 7 for all mankind / Jeans: Gap / Handbag: Rebecca Minkoff / Nail Polish: Chanel Bel-Argus / Bracelets: Tory Burch & Beau Bijou / Shoes: Prada

You may remember this Wallis blazer from my previous article about it last week, if not, please click here. When Wallis sent me the blazer, they challenged me to style it for summer and fall. I was happy to take on that challenge since the lightweight material and cool grey color make the blazer perfect for the transition from summer into fall.

For my fall look, I paired the blazer with wine hued coated jeans and an edgy, studded handbag by Rebecca Minkoff. I love the overall look and was happy to have a foggy day over the weekend to actually wear a fall look! The blazer was perfect until the fog burned off in the early afternoon and I had to take it off. The blazer came back on when the sun began to set and the fog was about to roll back into the valley over the Santa Cruz Mountains.

This blazer also comes in black and a  beautiful shade of cobalt blue. I am seriously thinking about getting both! The fabric and style are perfect for the transition from summer into fall. To top it off, the blazer is perfect for the micro-climate’s we have here in the San Francisco Bay Area. After all, it can be 90 degree’s in the south bay in late June, and if you drive into San Francisco, temperatures can drop to 60 degree’s. We all need a lightweight blazer for that!

If you like how I styled this blazer from Wallis, please vote for me in a contest Wallis is holding on their Facebook page. They are looking for a Brand Ambassador for New York Fashion Week! Thank you so much for your support and for being absolutely fabulous!

Twisted Silver has done it again! The fabulous Bay Area jeweler has designed a classic necklace which can be worn casual with denim (as in the above photos) or as the perfect touch to a timeless, little black dress. Love this!

The “Elegance” necklace by Twisted Silver is made from vintage crystal and glass beads on an antiqued brass chain. The vintage beads feature soft shades of bluish-grey, amber, green and white. This allows the “Elegance” necklace by Twisted Silver to easily pair with any of fall 2013’s color trends as well color trends in future seasons.

I adore this classic necklace and find it is the perfect way to spice up a casual, weekend look. When the fall season hits, I plan on wearing the “Elegance” necklace from Twisted Silver with dressier looks and tailored pieces. Love it!
