Stay Warm in a Street-Chic White Scarf
One of the things I’m loving now is the Winter Wonderland ready white scarves that I keep spotting everywhere. Celebrities like Kate Moss and Zoe Saldana have already been seen wearing white cashmere scarves with their matching white pea coats or freshening up the look of a classic black overcoat. A white scarf in cashmere, wool, or cotton can make any winter or fall outfit look and feel its most decadent in texture all season. Smooth finishes and alluring graphic prints or embellishments can keep the look cool and trendy. Check out my four finds! Your fit to find one that’s right in your price range, too. Old Navy’s Sequined Sweaterknit Infinity Scarf will have you bundled up in sparkles for a fraction of the others. My personal favorite, the We Are Owls Poster Printed Cashmere Scarf is cute, cuddly, and undeniably cool, Bottega Venetta’s handmade Knitted Wool and Suede Scarfis the ultimate in scarf luxuriousness, and Malene Birger makes a Chunky Wool Knit Scarf is brag-worthy with just a few hints of color.

Day to Night in Isabella Marant Feather and Bead Drop Earrings
There is something absolutely alluring about Isabella Marant’s Feather and Bead Drop Earrings. It’s a pair so gorgeous, with colors so provoking, that I could not help but want to create an outfit around them that could work from day to night. As versatile as pearls, as eye-catching as diamonds, the beauty of feather earrings is that they are like chameleons but better, because they go with everything while also enhancing whatever it is that is worn with it , too. A gorgeous pair like Isabelle Marant’s deserves to be worn all day and all night. For a simple, sophisticated, fool-proof outfit be sure to pair your earrings with clothes in a neutral color combination that won’t compete. I’ve created an outfit with a gray and black mix, with just a hint of a unique blue from the Alexander Wang Diego Bucket Bag in Midnight to break it up a bit. The Mugler Padded Shoulder Blazer has a shape that is ready to be serious in the boardroom and also is ready let loose during the unexpected afterhours. A luxurious casual cotton top will keep you cool and comfortable throughout the non-stop hours of the day and, lastly, you can never go wrong with a gorgeous pair of suede Lace Up High Heel Boots by Sam Adelmen. Party or play, the Isabella Marant Feather and Bead Drop Earrings will never let you look less than spectacular.

WorkPlayDate’s Five Favorite Things
Meeting up with Angela Agabao, the designer, creator, and founder of Bay Area-based accessory line “WorkPlayDate” made me realize two things.
1. She is one the most bad ass and beautiful designers I know
2. I really need to get in on this crazy blossoming foodie scene of San Francisco.
We traveled along the up and coming Valencia St. neighborhood, ate Belgian fries at Frjtz, chowed on morning buns at Tartine Bakery, and plotted our next sugar tooth-craving attack to be satisfied at Bi-Rite Creamery. But…what was even more interesting and eye-catching than the irresistable food in the Mission was the gorgeous and glamourous accessories that Work Play Date had to offer. We chatted about her one-of-a-kind designs which are sold at unbelievably afforable prices. Her rack of beautiful wares can be found at San Francisco’s most popular accessory trunk shows and with one look, it’s really no wonder why Work Play Date has been buzzed about as a local favorite on the San Francisco Chronicle and SF IndieFashion. Her pieces have even been styled and featured on Grammy-Award winning House DJ Sharam’s music video, too. See it in action by watching the video below, check out her website and shop and check out Angela’s Five Favorite Things below:
Five Favorite Things with Angela of WorkPlayDate
1. Jeffrey Campbell, Senso, Jimmy Choo
2. Herve Leger
3. Stinking Rose
4. booty shorts I made from old jeans
5. “Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today” – James Dean
Weekly Recap: Five Things That Make Me Happy
Splurge or Steal: Three Fun Fashion Finds for Fall
Forever 21 really knows what their clients want. Taking inspiration and ideas from the latest runways and making the gorgeous, high end products in an incredibly affordable form. Available to the masses looking for a bargain or just simple stylish people on a budget, no doubt the Forever 21 boutique is still scoring high even in these tough times. After all, who isn’t on a budget nowadays? But the debate is, is there really a truth behind “you get what you pay for?” See for yourself with the three fun fashion finds I found for fall below. Splurge on the designer or steal the Forever 21 lookalike. What would you do?
The Gold Pyramid Bracelet/Bangle
Is it worth investing in a gold pyramid bangle fit for Cleopatra? Or would you just rock a simpler piece for a fraction of the price?
Splurge: House of Harlow Gold Pyramid Bangle
Steal: Forever 21’s Stretch Pyramid Bracelet
The Oxford Heel
How often would you wear the Oxford heel trend? If you plan on making it a regular, you might want to think of investing in a real pair that might be bad for your wallet now but good for your feet in the long run.
Splurge: Woman by Common Project Heel Oxfords
Steal: Forever 21 Leatherette Oxford Heels
The Reptilian Purse
The timeless trend of reptile purses for fall is a classic that will be used over and over. Would you settle for a faux or invest in a true reptilian casing?
Splurge: Ghilbi Women’s Gold Reptile Bag
30 Day Challenge: (Not) Something You Always Think “What If” About
I don’t like this question. “What if’s” get me depressed because the answers will never be there and it’s either too late or too soon to even think about it… My life has been so untraditional and full of unexpected twists and turns that thinking about other possibilities only really detracts from the goodness of the present moment. Instead, here’s an undeniably adorable picture of a kitten and a puppy daschund. FYI: I’m finishing this 30 Day Challenge no matter if it takes me until next November of 2012.
