When the weather is piss poor and downpouring, what better way to make it a bit bearable than to wear one of your favorite leopard print, leather sleeve jackets?

Despite the rainy Sunday, my weekend was one of the more recent memorable ones, especially since it kicked off so well with the Mango shopping party I hosted on Friday. Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by. Amazing times! Can’t wait to share the fun photos.

No lies, I’m pretty obsessed with these Senso Haydin leather boots. Remember when I wrote about them HERE? On Saturday, I headed to LF Stores in the mindset that I was going to pull the trigger on the LF Stores x Senso Haydin leopard print boots. But then practicality hit me on the right side of my head and I went with the black leather pair instead. And yes, I am definitely having a menswear-inspired moment.

Thanks to the amazing Courtney, owner of L.A. Vintage Exchange, I scored this boxy 80′s-esque hot pink number for less than the cost of my go-to Coffee Bean Malibu Dream drink.  As chronicled here, rarely do I wear heels.  You know when people say there’s nothing worse than a girl who can’t walk in heels.  Well, I’m borderline THAT girl.  Lucky for me, I found these comfy heels on sale for $30 at Zara this weekend, perfectly fitting for my rusty-walking-in-heels-self.

This post is dedicated to my mom who called me yesterday from NJ just to scold me about posting photos of shoes for two days in a row.  Here’s my outfit post, mom!  Happy now?  Love you.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.    ~ Audrey Hepburn

If studs and leopard print are on their way out the trend door, I clearly missed chose not to read the memo since this is a sampling of what I’ve  worn over the past few weekends… sans coat.  And hey, if you want to save some money and a trip to the tailor to get your tad-too-long skirt hemmed, try tying a knot in the front (or even on the side/back) for an easy solution (as seen above with my American Apparel skirt).

Special thanks for the love this week (Xo!):

I haven’t said it in awhile, but thank you for continuing to swing on by!  Hope you have a fun weekend, loveys!

Modcloth cardigan. H&M tank. American Apparel shorts. Jessica Simpson hat. Jeffrey Campbell Litas via Edge of Urge. Urban Outfitters socks

This weekend my Jeffrey Campbell gold glitter Litas came out to play in the continuing warm winter weather. Hallelujah, I’m now a Lita believer. They are basically the stuff dreams are made of for short folks like myself, who hope to find a tall husband so they’re offspring will inherit good height genes.

Keeping the look minimal as the Litas are the star, I noticed that I have a habit of usually wanting to match what’s going on at the top with the bottom, i.e. my last minute decision to wear the leopard print socks. If anything, socks (when exposed) have become just as essential to my outfits as shoes.

So if you have any favorite places you shop for socks other than the usual suspects, please send them my way as my sock pile needs to catch up with my shoe collection!
