I am very lucky to have an Aritzia boutique 15 mins from home. As far as I know, they only have 2 locations in North Cali and total of 7 in the U.S. They were born in Vancouver, Canada in 1984 (just a yr younger than me) and their boutiques provide quite unique garments for the young-fashion-loving crowd. I scored a silk patterned top from them for half off, made by T. Babaton, named Ainsley in Grid Pattern. The color matched with my new Bianca Jane perfectly.

To break off the mono-tone color, I added a deep purple oversize sweater from 360Cashmere, which I got from Nordstrom Rack for 65% off original price.

I love the button details because they make it felt more like a coat, more character than just a big warm soft cashmere wrap!
J Crew gold plated giraffe necklace
I actually got this necklace from the outlet store for $17. Giraffe is my favorite animal and I just have to have it! Since the whole outfit has a cold-tone to it, I wanted to warm it up with gold jewelry instead of silver. A little contrast goes a long way….
Tiffany & Co. Mesh ring $250
Of course I was still wearing my favorite ring I got for Xmas last year from Justin. It’s been a year and it hasn’t been tarnished at all unlike my other silver jewelry. They said the more you wear silver, the more it stays shinny. This one is definitely my go to ring. It’s not overwhelming, chic and has this tough feel to it. I like it even better when I pair it with girly floral dresses.

And here is the topic of the day: my current go to bag, the Bianca Jane!

My only complain is that the bag is too light, sometimes I freak out thinking omg where is my bag, while it’s still on my shoulder. I’m a victim of the big tote bag. I carry everything with me just to get frustrated when I can’t get to my phone or find my keys. But I’m telling you, they are in there somewhere. Here’s a band-aid, do you need it? How about some emergency bobby pins? I am so used to have this weight on my right shoulder that when I carry the Bianca bag, it doesn’t feel like it’s there. That’s my only complain for this adorable bag…
Outfit of the day
Let’s look at those shoes shall we? My go to boots of the month. I like the little extra 2-inch height that they provide without being overly obvious. The wedges are excellent for long shopping trips and I love the fur collars.
