LEATHER LEG

Wanted to start by saying that our hearts go out to everyone affected by Hurricane Sandy, Emil and I cannot begin to imagine the devastation and incredible loses suffered as a result of this storm. Our thoughts  are with you, and we pray for your safety and quick recovery. 

I would also like to announce the winner of FragranceNet.com INTERNATIONAL GIVEAWAY! Congrats to Vittoria from Lo Stile e'un Gioco, and hope you enjoy that $50.00 Gift Card! 

Felt like taking on the classic color combination of cream, burgundy, black and gold. The whole outfit was built around this gorgeous pair of coated denim, I got about a week ago. Love the leather look, and of course burgundy is basically the color of the season. A big fan of burgundy in general, I am always happy to see it back in style. It offers endless styling possibilities, works well with any fall palette and looks great on pretty much everything, from clothing and accessories, to nails and lips! In a few words, I am a big burgundy fan! Now that I think about it, maybe I should have named this post Bonkers for Burgundy :) What do you guys think?

Hey Everyone,

As you know, for the past 3 months I've been collaborating with Paul Mitchell on their new line of hair care products, designed especially for curly hair. I've been lucky enough to try a few products from their new Curls line and share my curl confession with you lovely ladies! So here it is, my curl confession is that I style my hair everyday, no exceptons :) And ever since I started using the Curls products my hair is much more manageable, the curls last longer and styling literally takes a second. 

Which brings me to the most exciting part!

WILD FOR VIOLET

Wedge sneakers: Pink & Pepper | Jeans: Minusey { also loving these ones } | Shirt: H&M { other options here & here } | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff  { different colors here & here } | Watch: Michael Kors |   Rings: mini bow & glitz bow via Ily Couture | Spike bracelet: Cara

I would like to start by announcing the winner of Albeit Jewelry International Giveaway. Congrats to Alison from StylingMyLife, hope you love the necklace as much as I do!!!! 

Having laid eyes on a pair of wedge sneakers for the first time, I knew right away this was the shoe for me. Comfort, style and my favorite shade of purple, ummm..., yes please! How comfortable are they? Well, I took them on a 5 mile hike to Malibu today and have to report that my feet are still in tact! Other parts of me, not so much cause I'm so rusty, but no purple toes or blisters:) 

Gotta say, Emil and I used to go hiking all the time, but over the past year we've become a little lazy, so this was our first proper one in at least a few months. Certainly was an eye opening experience, I pretty much assumed that running a few times a week will keep me in a fairly good shape. Boy was I wrong! The back of my legs was burning as we were walking up a steep heel. By the time we got back to the car we were absolutely exhausted! Naturally we can't wait to do it again, so the plan is to do a 10 mile one next weekend. Let you know how that goes:)

P. S. I've gotten so many emails about these cute bow rings, I though I should talk a little bit about them on the blog. They are from Ily Couture, a brand I absolutely adore and wear all the time. In terms of fit, they are true to size and the glitz bow ring is adjustable, which is pretty convenient! You can find them HERE

Happy Monday, Everyone!
