Moto Jacket Casual

If you don’t already know, I am obsessed with Zara! I only discovered them a little over a year ago and let me just say … I don’t know why this brand wasn’t discovered sooner.
I also love anything in a blush shade so when I came across this piece, I purchased it without hesitation! And second, I got it from the girl’s section so it was half the price of what a woman’s coat would normally cost.


I suppose there are perks to being extra petite. You sometimes find great pieces at great prices.

Feminine Fall

_MG_6267

If you’ve been following me for a while, you will know that I’m a huge fan of streamlined, tailored pieces because I’m extra petite. These kinds of pieces are fluid and straight throughout so it doesn’t drown my stature.

So when I began to experiment with wider shapes, like these wide leg pants, I was a little worried that it wouldn’t work. The idea I had worked up in my mind was imaginatively perfect, but of course things sometimes don’t work out. Like the time I tried over-sized coats or ankle boots that ran directly across your ankles. It really looked like I was 5 and playing dress up and the booties cut my body up, making me even shorter.

… but in this case, I tailored the pants to my exact shape and voila! .. it was perfection. Aside from the successful experiment, the color combination of this outfit screams pure Femininity. .. As the word runs along this tee.

I love every thing about being feminine and fearless. And this outfit proves just that. When you dress amazingly, you feel amazing.

Leopard Love

_MG_6137

Name someone that doesn’t love leopard in the Fall because it’s definitely a staple for me. …Or technically I wear it year round but I wear it so much more this season. 

_MG_6174_MG_6170_MG_6151

I also added a white tweed coat to bring in all the colors of this tunic. Yes I said tunic; because of my small stature it works perfectly as a dress. 
Sometimes, good things come in different forms. On a taller person this tunic would hit at the hips.

Reversible Coat

_MG_6575

First, let’s adore this leopard print .. and second, let’s take in the fact that this coat is reversible! Yes! It’s a two for one piece. I don’t think it gets any better than that!

_MG_6558_MG_6560_MG_6542

On purchase though, the sleeves were too long on me so I quickly tailored it and now it’s like it was made just for me.

_MG_6517_MG_6511

I’m definitely going to keep this coat for seasons to come! I love when something is this versatile. Do you have something in your wardrobe that you just find so amazing? Share you thoughts, I would love to know. 😉

I love a good coat, hat and pair of heels (or booties for the cool weather). What are some pieces that complete your outfit?

Fall Must-Haves

_MG_6022

Fall is here! This is the ONE season I wait for all year and most times it doesn’t stay long enough for me to enjoy the colors. I try to get up north as much as I can when it nears this season because the colors are most prominent and available there.
In the cities, you get some trees that have changed and the rest have already fallen off the branches. But what else is exciting about Fall?! Warm, cozy sweaters, beautiful coats and cute BOOTS! .. and more ..

_MG_6035_MG_6083

I go crazy over Fall Shopping so my wallet remains REALLY skinny around this time .. LOL! It’s because I really need those 12 white knits, 4 black boots and 5 berets  .. all of which are in different tones.

_MG_6066_MG_6104

If Fall isn’t going to linger long enough, I guess I’ll just find the colors in my wardrobe.

_MG_6073

What are your Fall obsessions? .. I definitely have WAY TOO MUCH to hold in two hands.

Little Havana // Hello Molly Dress

_MG_5833

This dress is definitely made for nights in Havana (which I’ve never been to.. but maybe someday). The flirty hem screams “let’s dance some more!” which is why I was drawn to it. I also loved the flow of fabric on this piece but I did somewhat get lost in all the volume which is why I added a waist belt.

_MG_5863_MG_5884_MG_5929

I cinch my waist when appropriate because it adds proportion and gives me shape. I also love that the dress falls above my knees because it doesn’t cut me off length wise.

_MG_5905_MG_5909-2_MG_5891

…And a touch of some gold heels adds charm to the dress.

_MG_5959_MG_5912_MG_5867

So what do you say? … Shall we go dancing in Havana?
