Lets talk about this pink faux fur coat from Zara. It's pink and it's fabulous. First of all, Zara does a good faux fur. When I opened the box, I gasped. Real life gasped. Of course, I had a little hesitation with wearing this baby powder blush pink and moreover wearing it during the fall. I didn't think that this was a trend that I would get into but who can pass up something this good. I mean really.

Red, red and more red! 

One of this season's hottest trends is all about monochromatic reds. I'm talking red on red on red on red. Perfect for the holidays!

I've taken this H&M tassel skirt through all of the seasons. This time I paired it with a fall/winter appropriate hand knit sweater from The Limited and my shiny new YANA belt bag courtesy of Olive Ewe Boutique.

So, how do you feel about this trend? Seeing red or nah…

A few things:

1. I am in a deep love and infatuation with this 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target Mini Satchel. I REALLY wanted the yellow one but I was a few minutes too late to my local Target and watched them roll away in the carts of the earlier birds.
2. I'm really appreciating the color of the bag and my shoes. Taupe, I feel like, is such an under-appreciated and mistreated color.  It's just so good, so very very good.
3. Lately, I've been really drawn to black and white. I'm not sure what that means for my life. Maybe it means that I see things as they are and don't believe in gray areas OR maybe I just like black and white right now. Who knows?
4. I really wanted to add a pop of color with a cobalt blue belt but I just couldn't get it together. So, instead, I popped my lip color. Which leads me to my last point...
5. I'm obsessed (and my mom is too) with the Dior Mysterious Mauve lip color. It's not new and I've been wearing it for a couple of years now. I just noticed that it's one of my go to colors to wear with just about everything.
