My threads: Oxfords with heels and black friday deals

Yesterday was surprisingly warm compared to how the weather has been these past few weeks. I didn't even have to wear a jacket or gloves! However, I was not about to leave the house at 7 am in the morning wearing a t-shirt so I opted for a thick green cardigan and a vibrant scarf.



The scarf was a gift from my cousin, while the cardigan was purchased at a black Friday sale last year ( quick history: during a time of scandal and trickery in America , money hungry business men attempted to take advantage of wall street investors. Their plan was to make a huge profit by tricking the president but it was ruined when president Grant discovered their scheme. thousands of dollars were lost and prices were forced to drop everywhere. Hundreds of years later, stores all over America feature unbelievable prices on black Friday , the day after thanksgiving, for about 15 hours only. Seriously, people get into fist fights over black Friday sales!)


My shoes are not shown in the pics but I am wearing my favorite ones : oxfords. The best part about these shoes are their heels. A short girl like me needs all the height she can get! P.S: does anyone spot a four leaf clover in this picture? ha ha just kidding. Do you have a favorite pair of shoes?

visions of sugar plums

Hello all! My newest favorite outfit definitely has me smiling :) It includes a couple new finds so here goes...


I scored a beautiful dress that is plum colored and super comfy. Paired with some dark blue or purple leggings, it's totally winter -ready.The dress falls about an inch and a half above my knees. It came with a black belt that I can have on or off so that was a total bonus :DDD (oops sorry, my hand is in the pic :P ). The yellow jacket I'm wearing in the picture was a gift from my mom for the windy weather out here. I must say it was crazy hard to find an outfit to match this mustard yellow jacket, but apparently dark purple was the color I was looking for.



The jacket has a really cool ruffle detail on the collar which adds a melodramatic affect to it, though the tailor wasn't very wise to use brown thread to sew the zipper. Good thing it's barely noticeable when I have the jacket on -__- . You can really see the cozy knit on the collar of the dress in this picture.


Another I really appreciate is when an outfit accentuates the waist with a belt. The thick belt causes the jacket to have a nice flair on the lower half , which I find very flattering to my figure. A nice tip is to place a thicker belt snugly across the waist in order to look curvier, I've also heard that placing the belt closer to the bust-line takes off a few pounds.

I've had these shoes for a year but I really only wore them a few times. However, they go very well with my new dress and they look especially nice with leggings. It's a little hard to tell but the insides are softly lined with some sort of furry material , while the outside is a classy purple suede.


I finished of the outfit with a yellow flower in my hair and VOILA! my look is complete. (sorry about the lighting, the picture was taken at night time after I wore this to a party :P )

My Threads: knitted scarf (oreo)

I have two cats who are VERY different. One is a girl, Oreo. And one is a boy, Fernie. The two of them fight quite often because Fernie is a little ruffian who like to be outside and Oreo is a dainty and shy little thing who never sets foot outdoors! This is Oreo:And in this picture, I have caught her in the act of rolling around in one of my favorite scarves!!!!!!!!! She likes it because it's comfy but she doesn't know that it's handmade and easy to tear! I guess it's true that cats love yarn.And speaking of scarves , tis' the season for them! It's winter time so bundle up and get something warm on! I would suggest adding a hot cup of cocoa. One thing that goes great with knit ware is cable knit patterns and solid colors. the cable knit provides warmth while the knit scarf,hat,gloves,etc. supplies comfort. Just ask my cat! :D
Cable knit is a type of weave that gives the impression of long chords of thick cables that weave in and out of each other. this technique can be achieved through knitting, crocheting, weaving, etc. It produces a thicker material which makes it common in winter-ware.


Here, I've paired the scarf with a solid green sweater that has a cable knit pattern. A good rule of thumb is warm colors on warm colors, bright colors with bright colors (this is a way to play it safe if you have trouble coordinating outfits. You don't have to be matching, but you should stay in the color shade range) many people are able to pull of the warm with bright style, which I've always admired. I'd love to see how others dress warmly for the season too! have fun showing off your style this holiday season :)

My threads: Floral Scarf

Today was rather windy and instead of going for a sweatshirt like I normally do, I opted for this fitted denim jacket.



After watching too many re-runs of reality T.V I noticed that many of the celebrities that cameras follow around choose to pair denim with bright colors which inspired me too reach for this adorable floral scarf!



The Scarf was a Christmas gift but I haven't truly appreciated its potential until now. I have to admit it was always hard for me to find cloths in my wardrobe that went with this bright pink and tawny brown pattern. Most of the colors that go well with my light tan complexion are darker than the colors on this scarf. In fashion terms, I'm more of an autumn/fall. At least I can rest assured it looks very eye-catching on this wooden table xD




In order to stay comfy on the inside and stylish on the outside (denim tends to be rough on the interior) I wore a brown cotton hoodie. The hood peeps out of the coat collar and comes in handy when my hair is blowing all over the place. xD and I feel like the layering tends to elongate ones figure for all my petite friends out there! So with the hoodie, denim jacket and scarf, I was very cozy and warm. This pairing is truly a success!!!

Not my best picture, but Hey, it was cold! Haha. Thanks for reading!
