My Jewelry Collection

Here are a few pieces from my jewelry collection that have been on repeat.

Gift from my best friend, Melissa. [Madewell]

Found these beauties from the Renegade Craft Fair. Love the hammered look.

Gift from my cousin, Christina [BP, Nordstrom]

I wear all of the pieces above simultaneously. Yes, I wear over 7-8 rings on my fingers and it looks fabulous. I enjoy purchasing jewelry from the Renegade Craft Fair. The pieces are unique and the quality is great. I appreciate that these rings do not fade or rust when I get a splash of water on them.

The Rack

Decided to simplify my clothing rack by displaying a few items I wear on rotation. I've been attempting to purchase less and invest in timeless pieces, but unfortunately, I cannot get rid of my shopping addiction. Which translates into me perpetuating my spending habits. It is apparent that I have a fascination for stripes or achromatic colors. Do I fear color? Not really. Maybe I'm just trying to be cool and adhere to the trends. I just need Mermaid/Unicorn hair and I'll be set as the next upcoming blogger. :)

Keeping up with this blog is hard work! I've been trying to give up a few hours of the Internet each day and replace it with reading. More reading = less blog posts. Hopefully reading more books will stimulate my creativity for better blog posts. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I should photograph or write about, let me know!

Traveled on Bart to the city on Saturday with my loved ones.  This day was not filled with the usual shopping. Instead, I ventured through San Francisco sharing stories about my past and pondering what other types of new foods we could discover in the future. Had the pleasure of dining at Coqueta,  located right off the pier. Coqueta offers Spanish tapas, which is perfect for me! I can never finish a full plate myself. Sharing the dishes family style enabled me to sample each exquisite dish.

It was truly a memorable day for me. Toes were a bit achy from all the walking, but I cannot be thankful enough to have these people in my life. I love you family + P.

Boots: Madewell

I had my eyes on these beautiful Billie boots for quite some time last year. I initially tried on a size 6 in store, and was quite disappointed at how freakin huge the boots were; my feet were swimming in them. Also, I couldn't rationalize the price ($228). One day I looked online and THEY WERE ON SALE!! SALE SALE SALE. Yes I love sales. I read numerous reviews stating that the boots ran a bit large, so I took the plunge and ordered a half size smaller. The boots were pretty snug at first, but after a few wears, they became the most comfortable boots I owned.

These boots are perfect to wear to work, as it gives me an extra 2 1/2" in height. So that makes me a whopping 5'2 1/2"! Anything to make me look less like a teenager is a plus in my book.
