Must Have Monday pick of the week would DEFINITELY be a tie between those J Crew pants and the Zara heels! The pants are amazing because they literally go with everything. AND they are super comfy as well. J Crew has always been one of my favorite stores, especially because their sizes usually run big so I'm always a smaller size there than anywhere else! If you haven't noticed, I'm really into tucking in the front of baggy blouses. It creates more definition in your shape and avoids the unflattering boxed look that baggy tops often bring with them. Those Zara shoes are black velvet and SO cute. Im obsessed with the little tie bows at the top and the fact that they are a heel, yet look like a bootie, I just love em ;). 

I am so thankful for each and every one of you that read this blog! Your emails, comments, and overall support means so much! I have some big things planned for next year that I cant wait to tell y'all about! This will be the last post for 2013, CRAZY! I hope you all have a wonderful (safe) New Years Eve! See you all in 2014!

I was shopping a few weeks ago for Christmas gifts and I died laughing when I saw this adorable wildfox sweater! I thought it would be fitting for it to make an appearance on the blog ;-) Especially since I know all of you are out there running around shopping for last minute gifts! I think we can all attest to the fact that shopping really does take it out of you! A few of you have asked me about my actual workout regimen, email me or leave a comment below if you would like to see a workout post, complete with different exercises AND lots of workout wear ;-) I LOVE the color of this (unfortunately very over priced) cherry red sweater. It is always a fun preppy look to add an extra layer under your sweater with a collared long sleeve blouse. Secret tip: if you're going to be indoors or are worried about over heating with another long sleeve layer, just wear a sleeveless collared blouse... no one will know! 

Get your workout on ladies, happy shopping! ;-)

New Years Eve is only a week and a half away! I can hardly believe it! 2013 was an amazing year for me, I hope it was for you as well! No better way to finish out the year than with a bangin' outfit your for NYE celebrations! This is a great outfit choice for those of you who refuse to wear another minidress in this freezing December weather! I have totally hopped on the leather train recently... Im obsessed. This leather crop top is super fun... and again, its black, my favorite! Great with high waisted dark jeans to accentuate your waistline and show off your girly curves ;) The front of this top felt pretty plain to me, so I paired it with a really long statement necklace... its the perfect combo of sexy, stylish, and urban! As aways, thanks for reading!!

Those who live in San Diego will understand the title of Today's post. Our weather can be quite indecisive during these winter months. Those of you who are quite literally freezing in the snowy parts of the world, I am actually very jealous of your snowy weather! At least its consistent in it's snowiness! In San Diego it will be 73 and sunny one day and the next day it will be freezing (to us ;-)) in the 40's. Ok, so I might be a wimp when it comes to the cold, I can accept that ;-) Reminds me of this hilarious episode of Jimmy Kimmel a few weeks ago about how ridiculous the LA weather guys sound complaining about our weather (to watch click here, its hilarious). 

My tiny little beach apartment doesn't have heat (nor does it retain heat) so the last few days I have been bundled up like an eskimo, cuddled next to my small floor heater. Like I said before, I am jealous of those of you who have snowy weather right now. I would love to know what it is like to wake up and see snow outside on the ground! Having only lived through sun & lite rain, I obviously only consider the positives of snow.... ahh-ing and oooh-ing at the beauty of snow covered everything, lots and lots of hot christmasy drinks all the time (yes, I know we can do that here, but I would imagine it is SO much better when its snowing), and the many many layers and sweaters (AND boots) you would get to wear for months at a time. If its snowing outside where you live, leave me a comment about what its REALLY like to live in the snow!

Speaking of sweaters... I should probably get talking about this post (sorry for the longest intro ever)! I LOVE this sweater bc the sleeves are tight and the body is really baggy. When I was shopping for this sweater I wanted to find that baggy yet flattering mix. This sweater does just that. I fell in love immediately... unfortunately I couldn't find it online anymore :( I linked the store, Studio 1220, because they have AWESOME sweaters...I also linked a few other sweaters I love from different places.

Christmas Shopping Tip:

Size-less gifts are the easiest... especially for you last minute shoppers!

Hipster Sweaters: great gift if you're unsure on sizes, you can always buy them bigger and they will still look great ;-) Forever 21 seriously has SO many right now and they are all like under 30 bucks! (If you order by tonight at midnight you can still get it before Christmas!)
Statement Necklaces: just go with their style! If they are more reserved then I'd go with something pastel, neutral or black. If they are more outgoing and lively I'd go bold and big in color and size! Forever 21 always has a great selection for any accessory item, but recently they have really stepped up their necklace selection.
Scarfs: BP has a ton of amazing scarfs right now that are transitional for Fall AND Spring.

Stay warm & have fun Christmas shopping!!
