This is a very awkward time of year for the weather here in California. It's nice and cool during the morning and evenings, yet it's scalding hot during the day. That's why I'm a huge fan of layering! A lightweight sweater over a tank is perfect for the cooler moments, and can easily be removed if it gets too hot.

 I've always loved poodles. My mom grew up with them, and I grew up looking at her pictures with them. They're adorable, yet chic. So it only makes sense that I would love them plastered all over my clothing and accessories!

I'm not sure if it's solely because of my recent nostalgia caused by the new RED Valentino collection or if it's just due to the amazing relaxed and comfortable feeling the style emits, but I've been extremely obsessed with ballet inspired looks lately. There's just something about it that I absolutely love.

Have you ever built an entire outfit around one single hat? I did, and I couldn't be happier. I purchased this hat online from Forever 21, and have been obsessed with it ever since. I now find myself browsing for hats more and more. I think they're a great staple for Fall and Winter, because not only is it an instant hairstyle, but it can also help keep you warm. Win, win!

I've always been a huge believer in the saying "you don't need to spend a lot to be fashionable." This means that I rarely buy designer clothing, unless it's on sale, at an outlet store, or I have a coupon code (hooray for coupons!). However, once in awhile a collection will come around that just takes my breathe away, and I find myself being tempted to go into debt just to get my hands on some of the pieces. Ok, not really, but I am super obsessed with it! 

I first laid eyes on the Fall/Winter '15 RED Valentino Collection this morning, and instantly became obsessed. It reminds me of a heather grey sweater with a pink ballerina on it that I purchased from Target over a decade ago. I remember when I first saw that sweater back in my high school days, and it just really stuck out to me. I believe it was part of a collection, but that one sweater became the first thing I really considered to be "my style." So in a way, this RED Valentino Collection is one part nostalgia, and another part really stinkin cute!

What do you think of the RED Valentino circus-inspired Fall/Winter '15 Collection?
