For me, basics often mean comfort. So, seeing that it was a chilly, wet day, as I got dressed, I went through a basics checklist: Worn-in, flexible jacket? Check. Comfy sweater, cozy scarf and/or soft button down? Check. Stretchy skinny jeans? Check. Trusty riding boots? Check. A genius camera bag that carries all of your photo-taking needs? Definitely check. Final consensus? This was the perfect outfit for a rainy afternoon spent eating cookies and drinking coffee with “A,” and his adorable niece. xo

And, last but not least, remix #3! This is a more eclectic look but with some classic touches. I will be rounding up the three looks soon and would love to know which ensemble you liked the best. xoxo

And I give you, remix #2! Apparently my inner rocker child called and requested an appearance, so here she is, decked out in leather and plaid.

Happy New Year to you all! I haven’t done a remix in a while, so I thought I would start 2012 with one, involving this unique cut-out skirt from Zara. I call this the chic dressy version. Stay tuned over the next couple days for remix two and three! xo

Happy Holidays! Hope you all had a safe and merry weekend. After an extremely busy, yet very festive Christmas, I’m looking forward to a relaxing week at home before gearing up for New Year’s Eve. Merry, merry everyone! xo

Monochromatic with a few splashes of neon. My kind of wonderful.

Some of my current happy thoughts include:

~ Loving my new ONA bag.

~ Excited to finally try out my new studded heels.

~ Happy to have scored the last tube of this awesomely vampy lipstick (found in Duane Reade or any drugstore) after seeing it on a waitress at the Fat Radish last week. (All I know is, it’s the second darkest color available.)

~ Enjoying my ensemble of plaid, neon, acid wash and wolf (sweater).

~ Eagerly awaiting my family’s holiday party this week

Spending quality time with “A”.

Happy Holidays! xo

Trying out my rose gold watch with black, gray and neon accents for a fun pairing.

My Mom wearing her (early) Christmas gift, paired hers with stripes and a bold paisley scarf. She rules at pattern mixing.

My own take on paisley — opting for a tortoise-inlayed band, accompanied by diamonds and fur.

Playing around with Mom’s new watch, creating a rustic feel with blue, beige and citrus hues.

“A” sporting his sleek watch with a dapper gray suit. So handsome.

Just a few ways that I, and the people on my gift list have worn these chic watches this holiday season. And that sums up the “Twelve Days of Christmas” campaign with Kenneth Cole — hope you enjoyed it!

P.S. Thank you to my Dad for taking the top four photos and for being my stellar photographer while I’m home in Seattle. xoxo

I teamed up with Kenneth Cole for their “Twelve Days of Christmas” campaign and picked out a few watches that I thought would be great Christmas presents for friends and family. I started off with this rose gold watch because I think it would ultimately make a great gift for anyone looking for an easy every day wear watch. I don’t have an actual sister (although I consider a couple of my best girl friends to be the equivalent), but in my opinion, this would be the perfect gift for her. xo
