ALL ABOUT THE GRID

 

There's something about the grid pattern that I really love.  I tend to get more drawn to it than plaid or tartan. 

I must say that I have been really enjoying my Rocksbox. So if you are an accessory lover like me, you might really want to consider trying them out. You don't have to purchase the jewelries unless you really really love them. But you can can rock them with your outfits without having to spend your dollars unless you know for sure you want to keep them.  You get 3 different jewelry pieces every time. When you don't want them anymore you just put them back in the box and swap them for different ones.  Super easy, they are all great designer brands and really fast shipping. 

Below is an up close photo of the Gorjana Twist Cuff I got from my last box- (the one closest to the coat sleeve). And right now we have a new and fab promo code for you where you get the FIRST MONTH FOR FREE!! Yaay!! Yep completely free!! Just enter the code ROWENABFF at check out when you sign up. 

 Also just wanted to share, since I love finding products that really serve their purpose. This beanie I found from Uniqlo is definitely a favorite!! It really keeps your head nice, warm and cozy because of their heat technology. And their prices really don't break the bank.

I was so so happy when I found this grid coat from Century 21 in New York! Have been wanting one and the style of this coat and the price was perfect! I am also wearing my first ever, real maternity top on this post! Haha it's pretty fun seeing the bump and this might be the one and only time I'll ever say thank goodness for clothing with ruching!! I've never been a fan of that style, but boy does it do wonders on a prego body! It really helps with accentuating the baby bump and the pregnant body. Once the belly gets bigger and you start looking frumpy on regular oversized clothes, fear not my 1st time prego friends!! Just get tops and dresses with ruching and it just makes everything so much better! And I can't even tell you how comfy they are. 

Anyway I hope you guys have a great week!! Oh and head over to my instagram today if you can! We are giving away a $500 gift card to JCREW  to 1 lucky winner!! Yep, New Year means new beginnings, meaning fresh new wardrobe! ;) The giveaway ends tonight at 5 PM PST and the rules to join are super easy! So don't miss out!! 

Happy Monday!

CELEBRATING THE HOLIDAYS, MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR

Convertible Dress c/o Nuova Vita

Happy Monday everyone! Yay to a short work week!! Are you guys done with all your shopping? Well I am definitely feeling festive, especially  on today's post! I just can't help it with this amazingly gorgeous convertible dress from Nuova Vita. I mean this dress is just so beautiful. The fabric feels like silk to your skin, it doesn't easily wrinkle and it just flows oh so perfectly! Ladies, this Nuova Vita dress is convertible to about 15 or more styles and no I am not kidding. So you buy 1 dress which is kind of equivalent to 15 different dresses. Below are some of the styles you can do with it and so many pretty colors to choose from. Isn't this just the coolest thing ever??

The quality is really superb and I hope I was bale to capture that on my photos above. It's such a great piece to invest in. It comes with super easy instructions how to do each style. It's really an easy, comfy,  low fuss dress too. It's available for all women, all sizes and also for the expecting mommas. I think it's not only perfect for life's special occasions but it is SO SO perfect for a bridal party too. I wish I knew about this when I got married!! They have the color I picked for my bridesmaids and made of honor. And they also have the styles I picked for my ladies, one shoulder for the bridesmaids and the sweetheart strapless one for my maid of honor.  This would have made my life so much easier then! :) And all of them will be able to use and re-use this dress a million more times! 

On these photos I am wearing the wine color and I picked the sweetheart strapless style. I swear it took me about 3 minutes to put this dress on and it sure does not look like it. 

So if you are looking for a pretty dress and can't decide which style you want but want to get the bang for your bucks this is really a great piece for you. Or if you are getting married, this is a great such a great option for your girls. Check out their website they have photo galleries of the different styles available and all the colors they have. I seriously give this my 2 thumbs up! I love love love my Nouva Vita dress :) 

So I will be posting more Holiday looks this week. This one is for sure one of my faves. 

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Hi guys! So I was able to shoot this look right before I left for New York so I can post it this week while I'm gone. Good 'ol California Fall weather, we can still do bare legs on November. As you guys know the weather this week in New York got really really cold so there's just now way! But I am so glad to learn  a few New Yorker tricks when the weather drops like this week. They have this store here called Uni qlo and I think some major cities have this store too. It's a store from Japan and almost everything they sell has built in heat technology. So you can get camisoles, leggings sweaters. coats, beanies, gloves, pullovers, pajamas, lounge pants....pretty much any clothing item and accessory you can think of but made really really thin and soft but with heat technology. It somehow keeps the body heat and moisture in so you stay extra extra warm. So you can layer,  but because they are all SO thin you don't feel so bulky or soo bundled up that you have a hard time moving like a marshmallow! They also have super awesome deals!  It's pretty a-mazing!! As you know Californians  don't really need to worry about these things. But I know we do have that store in San Francisco which do get chilly. So if you are traveling or live somewhere super cold and not heard yet of that store search them online, I think you'd like their products!! Makes such a huge difference I give it my 2 thumbs up! 

And by the way you guys, I can't even tell you how long I have been searching for a grid dress like this in these colors!! So when i found it you can only imagine how happy that made me!! This dress is soooo awesome. Great quality and you can totally layer for the cold weather and still wear it for Spring and Summer. The color and pattern I think is so perfect! One of my fave dresses right now. 

Anyway, we'll be heading back tonight and I'll do a recap of my trip next week. I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend loves! 

Kisses,

So today I wanted to wear my fuzzy pullover so I built my entire look from that. They didn't have my size at the store for this pullover and since I really wanted it, I settled for the next size up which is medium. Ladies don't forget that you can always go a size up and just play with layering to make it work.  This outfit has so many contrasting pieces I put together and I love how it turned out.  Let me just point point them out here. The pale blue pullover is sooooo soft, fuzzy and cozy and I decided to wear it with black leather joggers and a leather cap. The outfit is also kind of tomboyish  especially with the cap but decided to wear with pointy, sexy heels to balance it out. The pullover is so soft and can easily make you look frumpy but the leather pieces makes the outfit look sharp. 

So there 's my Monday look for you guys! What outfit did you guys come up with today? 

Anyway, Hope you guys had a great weekend and here's to an awesome new week!! :) 

Cheers!
