Haute Sauce: August 2014

Whoever said mixing prints is not OK, is a very sad person, indeed! I find absolutely nothing wrong with it, as long as a cohesive color palate is in play. But even then, I guess it doesn't really matter. Do what you want! That's what fashion is all about.

Have you ever thrown an outfit together, and had it remind you of one of your favorite drinks? Or am I just crazy? Actually, don't answer that! Well, anyway, I couldn't help but crave an iced green tea after staring down at my neon shorts all day. Naturally, I rushed straight to Starbucks after work and got one. Who said food and fashion don't mix?

I'm usually not one for "boho" looks, but when I saw this hat on sale at Forever 21 a few weeks back, I was inspired to create something far out of my comfort zone. Being able to match it to one of my favorite lipsticks definitely helped boost my confidence! So tell me, how do you feel about boho looks?

I don't know about you, but I always get super excited when the news breaks of a new designer collection coming to Target. The new one from Altuzarra is no different! Here are some of my favorite looks. You can view the entire collection here!

I nearly died the other day when I walked into Target and saw this sweater on the rack. It instantly reminded me on this Kate Spade sweater that I had previously been dying over. Don't you just love finding cheaper versions of things you absolutely love?

For once in my life, I have my own desk! The only problem is, it's UGLY. Brown wood, mismatched office supplies, and a file cabinet full of basic manilla envelopes. I just can't stand it! Because of this, I decided to look for cute office supplies today while I was on my lunch break. It was then that I discovered the best news I have ever discovered (almost). Kate Spade makes office supplies! That's right, that Kate Spade. I quickly loaded up my cart with all of the cutest gold and glittery supplies, and will continue to stare longingly at them until I receive my first paycheck!

Have you ever loved a shirt so much, you find yourself wearing it over and over again? That's definitely the situation with this shirt! I was so happy to wear this top to work and then come come and take some outfit photos, that I didn't realize until later that I had just work it in an outfit post not long ago. I guess when you love something enough, you can wear it forever!

Yesterday was my first day at my new job, and I almost had a panic attack when I couldn't figure out what to wear! Thank goodness offices tend to be freezing, because it allowed me to wear my beautiful new jacket I picked up over the weekend. Nothing tops a great first day like a kick-butt outfit!

This past weekend, my amazingly hilarious parents came to town to visit me. It was by far the best weekend of the whole summer! We took a tour of my old work place, Warner Bros Studios, went out to many amazing restaurants, and spent the whole day lounging on cabanas on a private beach in Malibu. All I can say is, my parents need to come visit more often!

My shopping addiction is in full swing again, now that No Buy July is over! The other day, I had to run to Target in my local mall, and on a whim decided to pop in to Zara. I am so glad I did! They were having a huge sale, and I found this dress shoved in the depths of the clearance racks. It was only $25! I couldn't believe it! I swear to you guys, it is even more gorgeous in person that it is in these photos. I am so in love!

Ok, I know, I know, another romper. I have an addiction, OK? I feel like I come home with a new one every time I go shopping. It could be worse though. I could have an addiction to hideous ruffled dresses! Seriously, though, I am in love with this romper! Not only is it super comfortable and affordable, it can be dressed up for day and night! This is obviously my day version, but who knows, you might see this romper again very soon ;)

The other day, my boyfriend and I were taking a walk down the street from his apartment when we discovered a hiking trail. On a whim, we decided to hike up to the top of the mountain, and discovered an amazing view. I just couldn't resist taking some outfit pictures up there! Don't you just love exploring new places right in your own backyard?

Who doesn't love a warm cup of coffee on a cold and rainy morning? I know I sure do! The weather has been really strange here in Southern California, lately. I tried to bring the summer sunshine with my new pineapple printed shirt, but unfortunately that didn't work. I suppose I should just sit back, relax, and enjoy the sound of the rain.

Happy August! I could not be more thrilled that "No Buy July" is over. My first order of business was to run out and finally buy a kimono. I have been craving one for the longest time! I am so happy to finally own one, and am even more happy that it was under $25! In fact, my whole outfit is from Target and was under $75! Now that's what I call a great way to start August!

I discovered this top in the back of my closet and re-fell in love with the beautiful mesh detailing on the back. I realized just hot well it worked with my most comfortable pair of shoes and my preppy light-weight jacket. Don't you just love rediscovering old pieces of clothing?

Maybe it was luck, or maybe it was fate. Either way, I found a beautiful top at a thrift store (shocker!) and the brand just happens to be my name! That's right, this top is "Allison" brand. I must admit, I had never heard of this brand, but it certainly made me laugh!
