My gal pals are all inner rock n’ roll stars. We love going to see concerts at Baby’s All Right. We love shopping together. We love leopard, studs, fur coats, skinny neck scarves, victorian age blouses that cinch high up on our necks. But most importantly, we LOVE to share our clothes. Luckily we are all super tall and share the same shoe size. There will definitely be times where I haven’t seen my leather jacket for over 6 months, but that’s the amazing thing about friendships. Your friends are around at all time when you need them (even when you need that leather jacket). Right now, I’ve been doing a lot of online shopping. TOPSHOP is my go-to. And this season, I’ve got a REBEL REBEL thing going on under the tree. Ankle boots that’ll make any boy swoon. Multi-colored faux fur coats for glam nights out in Manhattan. And of course, my personal favorite: a good Western belt, because it’s always the last thing I throw on my favorite pair of high waisted jeans. Flattering classics with a twist. Plus, knowing you can borrow is always a plus.

And now you can create your very own TOPSHOP “WANT LIST” and share it with your friends. Maybe you will get just what you wished for!

I’m super excited to share my True Religion Holiday Gift Guide! I’ve had my eye on the stunning sequin jacket for a while now. Ever since I hosted their LA store event, I’ve had it on my holiday wish list. And, it’s back in stock just in time for the holidays! It’s so rock n’ roll cool. It’s got a tomboy shape, but with all the sparkle, it easily transitions into my top favorite holiday piece. On a work day, I love it with a simple white tee, and my favorite boyfriend jeans. But for my upcoming holiday party, I love it dressed simply over the True Religion suede dress, complete with a vintage scarf tied closely to my neck. This little party dress is the perfect silhouette.

Right now, True Religion is totally killing it in the denim department. I am lusting over the metallic silver skinny jeans, and pin-stripe cropped skinny. Their Italian boyfriend continues to remain a favorite in my wardrobe, alongside the Hallie Hi-Rise, and Hallie Mid-Rise. Trust me, they will make your legs look a mile long! Now, get shopping! See my other top picks below.

I too have loads of holiday gift preparations to get done before Thursday! And who doesn’t love a new pair of jeans?!
