Pink for the Holidays

 

It looks like it is shaping up to be a very Pink Christmas, and I couldn't be more excited! I love finding new ways to put a twist on traditional holiday fashion and there's no better way to do that than with pink plaid pants and a cozy pink sweater! Speaking of things I'm excited about and also things that are pink, how amazing is my new Teddy Blake "Ava" bag in this lovely fuchsia color? Not only is the bag the perfect complement to my pink holiday outfit, the gorgeous pink color makes it the type of bag that I look forward to carrying all year long! (As you know, I wear a lot of pink and bright colors, which makes this bag the perfect match for my wardrobe!)

 

This is my second Teddy Blake bag and just as with my first one, which I blogged about here, I was immensely impressed with the quality of my Ava bag. One of the things that I really admire about Teddy Blake and that I believe contributes to the exceptional quality is that all of their bags are made in Italy. I also love that Teddy Blake offers a selection of classic handbags that come in a wide array of colors. As a lover of both handbags and color, it was hard for me to decide on which one I wanted, but pink features prominently in my wardrobe, so I knew I would get a lot of use out of the fuchsia color! For those of you who want more classic and subdued colors, Teddy Blake has you covered. There's truly a bag for everyone!

Pink Velvet Suit

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Did you shop any of the Black Friday sales or are you planning on shopping online for Cyber Monday? It seems like the sales are starting earlier and earlier every year. This year I started getting Black Friday emails a couple of weeks before the actual day! This pink suit comprised of a velvet pink blazer and matching pink velvet pants is one of the things I picked up on sale a couple of weeks ago from J. Crew for a pre-Black Friday special. Last year I got a similar pink velvet suit but it was a darker color. I really love the "Barbie" vibes of this particular shade of pink, which is why I couldn't resist it!

 

We took these pictures at one of my favorite murals in Pasadena. You probably have seen it at least a few times on my Instagram because it tends to be the perfect backdrop for anyone who loves color as much as I do! Anyway, as we were taking the photos my husband said that I looked like the female Willy Wonka in this particular suit! He always makes funny comments when taking my photos. Anyway, that's all I could think about during these photos and to be honest, he's kind of right! Well, I take that comment as a compliment!

Sweater Dress Weather

 

While sweater weather hasn't quite arrived here in Southern California, I am gearing up and preparing for a cold spell by purchasing some sweaters for the upcoming "cold" season. One of the things I love wearing when the weather does finally get cooler is a good sweater dress and I think I might have found one of my favorites, at least of the season! This purple and pink sweater dress has all of the colors I love!

 

Purple is my favorite color and pink is a close second, so the color palette of this sweater dress is perfect for me! I also love the details of the sleeves as well for some added visual interest. This dress will definitely be in heavy rotation once the fall/winter weather comes to Southern California!
