Fringe-tastic Heels

If there is one trend that has called my name (and the name of countless fashionistas on Instagram) it is fringe! Fringe is everywhere, from coats to skirts to my favorite... shoes! In the search for the perfect fringe booties I found these fringe-tastic heels that I wish I could have added to my cart without hesitation, but of course the budget prevails! The upside is that I can share these fab finds with y'all so I have linked all of these beauties below! Let me know which ones are your faves in the comment section!

San Diego Fall?

It is officially Fall, however (huge however) our San Diego weather still hits 80 degrees! Over the weekend I said "if I can't beat it, I'll join it!" The husband and I decided to dine by the bay at the newly opened Coasterra Restaurant with beautiful views of the city - a reminder of how beautiful San Diego is. Their food was amazing! It's Mexican cuisine which I can be particular about since I grew up eating it, but I can definitely put my stamp of approval on theirs. 

Fall Staples Ensemble

What happens when you put a bunch of Fall Staples together? Well in my case, you get this ensemble! Each piece on its own has been in heavy rotation lately (and don't be surprised if you see them pop up in future outfits). The "Casablanca" trench needs no introduction as it recently made its debut here, as well as the structuted clutch (seen here and here), but hold up... these leopard pumps I'm bringing in from 2 years ago which is a true definition of a timeless Fall staple.

Furry Furry Fall

Make no mistake about it, it is still H-O-T here in San Diego, but I wanted to sacrifice my comfort in the name of Fall fashion in today's post because I really wanted to start showcasing some amazing Fall finds.

Let's start with this "furry furry jacket" from Cabi that aside from being cute, is in a cropped shape that won't make you look bulky (aka like a walking fur ball) which tends to be my issue with furry/faux fur pieces. I paired it with these skinny jeans, also from Cabi, that I stamp with my approval because they are amazingly comfortable (strechy denim). I have started to collect Cabi denim (now on my third pair) and I can't rave about them enough - the quality, shape, and style of their pieces are just superb. Hope you like it!!

Professional Attire

The title alone may sound boring but professional attire does not have to be! Professional attire and/or that job interview outfit may vary depending on what industry you are in, but if you are like me, working in a professional environment, conservative is key. Again, conservative doesn't have to be boring, instead it can be classy and timeless. 

In that Polka Dot Dress

I love me a stretchy dress when my yo-yo weight kicks in *cough* I've been on an eating rampage since our wedding. This Karina Dress hit the mark on comfort with its stretchy yet flattering material, plus it was perfect for traveling since it doesn't wrinkle! I wore this while out of town for a fancy dinner and loved that I could indulge in some good food and wine without having to feel like a stuffed chicken. I keep telling myself I'm going to work out and then I walk outside into this killer heat and say, eh, maybe when it cools down?

Transitioning in Olive

I can always count on certain colors to reach for when Fall is around the corner and currently I'm coveting this tone of olive green in an updated form like this trench dress from Shein. It's sleek and flowy and perfect for the odd 80 degree San Diego weather we are currently experiencing! Once it actually starts feeling like Fall, I also envision this piece layered over a turtle neck and even skinny jeans. Hope you like it!

Insta-Looks

Today I wanted to share some outfits that I have shared on Instagram (@lilbitsofpau) but haven't made their official debut on the blog! The cool thing is that I realized that a lot of the items are either now on sale or were good deals (great price for the quality).

For my wedding rehearsal I wore this charming midi Dress, which is now on sale here! | Shoedazzle Wedges

For night one of my bachelorette party, I wore this tight hot pink midi dress which was of great quality and less than $50! I paired the dress with gold heels from Shoedazzle and a Gold Glitter Clutch from Kate Spade.

For my #Pauchelorette Party in Vegas I wore this sexy lace number that is still available here! I paired it with my Christian Louboutin nude heels and a nude structured clutch, plus a red bold lip!

When RewardStyle came to San Diego for #rSMasterClass I wore this cool romper that looks like two pieces! I paired it with my Christian Louboutin nude heels and Tory Burch Striped Purse for a classy look.

For a party bus tour I wore this cool trench dress that is less than $20 here! | Shoedazzle Wedges

Fall Trends with Neiman Marcus

As much as I'm sad that Summer is on its last leg, talking about Fall Trends is a mandatory fashionista discussion and what better way to start this discussion than by recapping the Fall Trend Report from Neiman Marcus?! I had the opportunity to preview their Fall 2015 Trends during their blogger luncheon in the Fashion Valley store, where we were treated to two of my favorites: fashion and food. See what I wore for the luncheon HERE!

NM Fashion Valley's own Style Advisor, Alex Yáñez, broke down the trend report for us with a fashion show of his beautiful styled interpretations. Here are my favorites and the ones that I see myself adopting.

Relaxed Wine Tasting

I don't think in my fourish years of blogging I have abandoned the blog for this long, but rest assured I'm back! It was all thanks to a lil event where I got married and became a wife *insert bride emoji* If you have followed along on Snapchat (under username: lilbitsofpau), thank you for joining me virtually on one of the most important days of my life! If you missed it, you can still see some snippets over on my instagram @lilbitsofpau HERE!
