White bags are always risky life decisions, but hey, what's life/fashion without taking risks? But jokes asides, I've had my eye on a mini Bottega Veneta mini pouch for a while now and somehow couldn't justify the beautiful soft intrecciato leather version because I know that it'll 99% get stained and dirty immediately. I was pleasantly surprised to come across this raffia version, which I felt like, would be much easier to clean, if it does get a few spots here and there over time. Plus, nothing is easier to style than a mini white bag. For this trip to Spain, I also added this wool cocoon beige jacket to my rotating wardrobe, and I've been loving these two new pieces together.

If you caught my previous post in Barcelona styling grey wide-leg trousers, you might already know that I'm quite looking forward to Spring outfits for the first time in years.

My time in Spain is quickly coming to a close so I can't wait to share a few outfits from this beautiful country before I return for New York for a little bit.

On A Grey High

I've been on a hunt for a pair of grey wide-leg trousers for months now and finally decided on these from The Frankie Shop. They came into my life at a very good time because I immediately got to wear them around in Barcelona a couple of weeks ago. Was pleasantly surprised by how lovely the weather was in Barcelona at the beginning of January, but hey, I won't ever complain about mild temperature and plenty of suns. I can't tell if I am getting older but my ankles are starting to get cold now, so wide-leg pants are something I have been gravitating towards more often lately.

For a quick stroll in the evening, I paired these trousers with a casual button-up and a light cardigan (that I stole from my boyfriend). I've never been one to look forward to Spring, but this kind of outfit is really making me change my mind. Looking forward to styling more looks with these and maybe an oversized denim jacket or vest in the coming months.

Cardigan: NOMA
Top: Sezane (similar button up shirt)

Warm Winter Monochrome

By now you guys already know that the holidays aren't quite that cheery for me, but nothing helps me blend in like a good red lipstick. Since dressing for the holidays is also quite farfetched from how I actually feel, you'll probably see me in some kind of monochromatic ensemble like this one.

Though in just enough of the seasonal spirit, I did opt for a ruffle blouse I got earlier this year with a flowy pair of trousers for a small friends gathering. I picked up this simple cream jacket a couple of years ago, and while it isn't the warmest coat I have, it does well on milder winter days. I'm a sucker for textured pieces and I love how the diagnal ribbed detail on this white coat stands out from the rest of the look. For those who my relate to my holiday woes, I hope this monochromatic off-white outfit inspires you for any possible holiday events you might have. At least you can say that you're channeling the snow that might or might not exist where you are from.

Jacket: Zara, old
Top: SHUSHU/TONG Ruffle Cropped
White Trousers: Old, similar beige pair at Arket
Shoes: Common Projects
Bag: Yuzefi 'Dolores' via Toward

Cozy Up + BF Sales Picks

I've been working with Kenneth Cole for the past few months on a long-term partnership, my longest partnership with a brand, yet. I shot these quickly on my fire escape when I was back in New York a few weeks ago and thought these photos were worthy to document on the blog. Every single year, I look at all of the new fashion trends and predictions, and it blows me away how relevant a good trench coat always is (this pleated one has me drooling). For outerwear, I'm a firm believer that you should always shop them on sale. I've gotten some of my best coats that I wear years after years off season and on some of these major sales period. While not many winter coats will be going on sale now, many great lighter jackets that can be super cute next Spring or Fall will.

Holiday Hosting

The holiday is just around the corner and this year, more than ever, I’m looking forward to being surrounded by so many friends and family. Hosting at home is honestly my favorite but of course, beyond the food, and the decor-- the fashion enthusiast in me cannot forget about the outfit.

I’ve been a big fan of the brand Sleeper and have quite a few pieces in my wardrobe. For hosting festivities at home this year I cannot imagine wearing anything else less extra than this feather trim party pajama set. Don’t miss the Bergdorf Goodman offers happening this weekend (11/24 to 11/29/2021) to snatch some statement loungewear sets for all of the indoor gatherings this holiday season. Plus these amazing deals on all things BEAUTY for that little extra glam too. Nothing screams holiday glam like the perfect red lipstick from Byredo.

Fall Plaid in Central Park

I haven't been in New York for fall the past few years so I was pleasantly happy to catch some early foliage in Central Park this year. Most of my current wardrobe is in Spain so I'm wearing pretty much everything that I have in New York, which includes this autumn-toned plaid oversized coat and my By Far boots. I did pick up a new top that I paired with everything here. I'm a sucker for more skin-tight tops for the fall as I find that they actually retain heat much better. This Jacquemus top is quite the statement despite how simple it seems. I love how it pairs casually with my monochromatic outfit.

Everytime I wear this coat, I always get a ton of questions, but unfortunately it's from a few years back at Aritzia (Wilfred Prescott Wool Coat) so I'm linking some plaid coat options in this post. If you haven't caught up yet, I'll be sharing a few snippets of my NYC trip on my Instagram this week. Happy Fall.

Coat: Aritzia (Wilfred Prescott Wool Coat, a similar option here)
Top: Jacquemus Lucciu Top
Pants: Trave Denim
Shoes: By Far Sofia Boots

Black and Brown

If you haven't added a pair of knee-high boots to your fall/winter wardrobe-- what are you waiting for? I'm pretty late to the knee-high boots game myself because I got my first pair only just last year. You might have seen me style a few outfits from summer through fall with my black suede boots, but I'm excited to add these brown croc ones to my collection too. I especially love the versatility of knee-high boots for the fall because you can rock them with midi dresses layered under cozy knits, or even tuck in some trousers for a more utilitarian look. Here I'm just going for a simple black dress and a structured black blazer for some form and topping it off with this brown pair of boots that's the perfect fall statement.

Blazer: Mango
Dress: Tiered Black Dress
Shoes: Alohas Brown Croc Boots

Boxy Cardigan

I'll be the first to admit that cardigans were never my favorite type of sweaters until very recently. Personally, I've always loved throwing a jumper over 2 layers of heat-tech when the temperature drops- but I've grown to see the appeal of a cozy cardigan thrown over pretty much all of the tank tops I've slowly acquired all through quarantine times.

This fall, I've been seeing quite a few interesting cardis that I feel like work well with all types of styles. I'm wearing a beige one from &OtherStories with a monochromatic outfit above for reference, but I'm definitely eyeing some more statement ones too. Below are some of the ones that are on my fall/winter 2021 watch list, and some are even included in the Shopbop 'STYLE EVENT' Sale that's taking place this week from 10/11-10/14.

Cardigan: AndOtherStories 'Boxy Cardigan'
Pants: B Sides Jeans
Shoes: Loeffler Randall
