These multi-colored booties with their shiny patent leather have a retro seventies feeling look to them, don’t they? I have long been a fan of booties and with all these fabulous new styles and colors I simply could not resist this pair! Visions of blue, green, purple and fuchsia got me very excited as I saw them on Choies’ website. Known for their reasonable prices I knew immediately that I needed those fun and colorful heels in my shopping cart.

These booties bring out something fresh and exquisite out of them which I why I decided to bring back the 70s this season: Multi-colored booties, midi skirt glam, and a wool coat to keep me warm.

PS: My husband surprised me with Adobe Lightroom for Christmas and I am sure you can tell that I’ve been experiencing/working with it (especially with these images). I have used only Photoshop in the past so, Lightroom is new territory to me. Please, bear me with me as I am learning as I go, and if you should have any recommendations or tips on how to edit your images beautifully I would definitely love to hear from you!

As always, thanks much for visiting & have a Happy New Year! Can’t wait to see you back here in 2016 as I will start the New Year with a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

Much love.

So long black heels. This fall and winter is all about (bright) red heels, and these red booties are a definite must this season. Not only is the color ‘red’ a show-stopper but these booties are actually very comfortable, too. This classic silhouette is anything but ordinary. I’ve paired my booties with a pair of jeans and a shaggy faux fur coat to keep me warm. Temps in Chicago have drastically dropped, and I’m still trying to get used to this cold weather. Each and every year I seem to have such hard time with Chicago winters. My husband is from California, and we keep asking ourselves: “Why are we still here?”

Anyhow, I wanted to THANK YOU all for your love and support! Jalisa, editor and founder of the StyleContour recently nominated me with the Liebster Award, and I’m just so humbled by it. Below are some questions from Jalisa which I finally answered. Hopefully this will paint you a better picture of who I am. 🙂

What’s your favorite color? Turquoise.

Cats or dogs? Dogs. I have three dogs and love them!

Tea or Coffee? Coffee. A latte that is. My coffee usually contains more milk than coffee but I still consider myself a coffee drinker.

Favorite designer? Chanel.

Favorite place to shop? Nordstrom, and various online sites.

Favorite Food? Asian, i.e. sushi. What can I say? It’s in my roots.

Favorite season? Summer. Like I mentioned above: I have a hard time with the cold. We don’t get along. Period.

What do you like most about yourself? Being a mother to my 4 year old son. He makes my life complete.

What’s your favorite perfume or body mist? Chanel “Mademoiselle” perfume.

How would you define your style? My style is feminine with a little bit of an edge.

Thank you again, Jalisa for the questions and the Liebster Award. Should YOU have any additional questions for me, simply drop me a line in the comments!

As always, thanks so much for reading & have a fabulous Monday!

Much love.

Suede is not just suede. It’s much more than the fabric – this plain ol’ borderline cowboy texture has the incredible ability to take us places and decades we’ll never go to (unless we time travel of course), while having the major fashion ability to be all at once. Suede is a statement and this grey suede skirt is no exception. This skirt blends with everything, making the outfit look retro sophisticated, while creating a head-to-toe understated glamour. I’ve paired my suede skirt with a simple cashmere sweater (it’s so soft!) and my favorite lace-up heels. As I have mentioned before: Suede and Burgundy are most definitely my fall must-haves!

Are you suede obsessed like me? Let me know by commenting below!

As always, thanks much for visiting and have a great weekend!

Much love.

I’ve been dying to wear these bright orange pants. I’ve got them a couple of weeks ago but I couldn’t figure out what to wear with them. So, when I found this simple crop top it immediately clicked, and I couldn’t have been happier. I love the overall 70’s vibe, too – which got me thinking by the way: Perhaps this is favorite fashion era, besides the Roaring Twenties. This season you have seen me in flared denim, off shoulder tops and tons of high-waisted pants. Do you recall?! What is your favorite fashion era you are most inspired by?

And before I forget: How amazing is this handbag? My husband got it for me after I’ve been talking his ear off about the Chloe Drew. Well, he didn’t get me a Chloe Drew but a handbag that is astonishingly similar to the original for UNDER $150! Seriously, it is such a steal, and just as beautiful as the original! Check it out HERE.

As always, thanks much for reading and have a fabulous Monday!

Much love.

I found this long vest at Choies, and I absolutely love it! It is simple, cozy and loose. I paired it with my new favorite peach colored denim from Fabrizio Gianni, and added a statement bag + platform sandals to uplift my whole outfit. What do you think?

As always, thanks much for reading and don’t forget to follow me on Snapchat (yes, I finally gave in and created an acct @WhatWouldVWear) and Instagram for NYFW updates. I am leaving tonight – which is why this post is rather short. I still haven’t gotten over my list on what to bring and wear to Fashion Week. Ugh. I know I’m so bad and late. Perhaps you can help?
