Look of the Week: Chanel-inspired Colours

Inspired by the likeness of Chanel, my outfit this week is based on the very classic palette of cream and black. I've encorporated the hot peplum trend into this outfit, but its black colour keeps it looking refined.

If you're a big fan of blazers, try swapping out your usual cotton one for one with a cotton/wool blend (like my thrifted BCBG blazer here) to keep you warmer as the temperature starts to really drop. Keep extra cozy by tossing on a thick knitted infinity scarf. Want to sweeten the look? Bows and cameos will do the trick! It's all in the accessories.

You'll notice I don't fight the whiteness; many people start panicking this time of year about losing their 'summer glow'. Try something new for a change: ignore the hype and make that porcelain complexion shine! It's better for your skin, too :)

Look of the Week: Chocolate Week at Thierry

Hello lovlies!

This past week I stopped by Thierry Chocolaterie/Patisserie with friends to celebrate chocolate week! They were offering specials all last week from a meet-and-greet with Thierry himself to chocolate samples and menu additions. On Friday, me and some friends taste-tested some Marañón chocolate and tried their new Michel Cluizel chocolate-dipped maracon. Naturally, I chose to pair this with a glass of sparkling wine; can you say heaven?

Such an occassion warranted a fancy/cozy outfit, due to the dreary wet weather outside. I've been wearing my thrifted Neiman Marcus cashmere sweater non-stop lately to keep warm and casually chic all week. Throw an infinity scarf on top and you're set! I love the idea of adding some sparkle to your knits; it gives them a little bit of a festive feel. Try it sometime: mix a cozy sweater with some sequins for a pretty look on a cold day.
