Entering the Free People store event on 5th avenue was like floating in dream land. The ceilings and walls were covered in lights and sparkles. It was one of the most beautifully decorated parties I’ve been to in a while. This event has me thinking of the holidays and already, I’m super inspired thinking of what to wear come Christmas when I’m back home in Cali! Not only were the designs showcased in the most stunning way, there were some amazing treats (we’re talking unlimited cupcakes and champagne!) It was great to meet up again with the FP team who work with my sister at the home office in Philadelphia and whom I’ve had the pleasure of shooting the October ‘1o catalog with! Also in town were their head designers, who created these one-of-a- kind dresses. The pieces were all so beautiful, I couldn’t stop staring. Something I’d only see in a dream…come to life. I’m already extremely inspired to sport lots of chained jewelry, massive amounts of sequins, topped off with an amazing leather jacket. I definitely left with stars in my eyes!

A few weekends ago, I experienced my first ever east coast winter snow and boy was it cold! This is probably the first time I’ve really needed a gigantic coat and scarf! To bring a little life to the icy chill over here, I brought out my craziest, most fun pair of pants by A|X Armani Exchange. One thing I’m kind of obsessed with at the moment is anything with a little shine, and these are just perfect for the holidays coming up. The slim fitted cut along with the reflecting reptile print gave my rather simple weekend look a little rock n’ roll edge. Dressed down with an adorable pair of Mary Jane ballet flats, I felt comfortable strolling the parks of Philadelphia and simply cozying up on a bench. Could fall get any more perfect?

If I’m going for a head to toe black ensemble, I work with a mix of different textures. Here I went with something completely unexpected: a leather mini, a knitted sweater, and a silky blazer. They’re all very structured, but I think the fun Armani Exchange knit played it down a bit. This time of year, I’m a total knit obsessor. I already have a large garment bag sitting in my bedroom filled with them! For my afternoon roaming the streets of Soho, I made sure to wear a comfy pair of flat brogues with a great pair of tights. I recently just went out to buy a bunch of necessary black accessories: gloves, tights, and socks. I know that the icky chill is on it’s way!
