This nautical look is inspired by my upcoming trip to the South of France, which I cannot wait for. I am absolutely obsessed with the top's golden neckline (no need for a necklace ;)), which makes it look so chic. You can dress it up and down, day to evening and still look your best. Basically, there is no way to go wrong with XOXO. It is a truly feminine, sexy and trend conscious brand that is also affordable (most pieces retail under $100!)

I love this beautiful velvet top from Salsit - cut out shoulders add chic to the sophisticated burgundy turtleneck. It definitely has to stand out in the outfit, so I paired the top with white pants and neon pumps.

One of the advantages of living in LA is that sometimes you can get lucky enough to wear a top with open shoulders in December ;)

I haven't disappeared, just got way too busy with online and offline shopping taking advantage of Black Friday deals :) By the way, you can still take advantage of major sales from these stores: ASOS, Bloomingdales, Sephora, Nordsdrom, Shopbop, Barneys, Forward by Elyse Walker, Saks Fifth Avenue. Obviously, sales are almost anywhere, but these stores are the ones which kept me busy. I am talking designer stuff at almost half off!!!

Now, to the outfit! I bought this dress in August but it is still one of my favorite little black dresses. It has a perfect feminine shape and soft thick texture. Added a foulard to bring more sophistication to the look.

And last, but definitely not least! How do you feel about being flown to Abercrombie's Flagship Store in NYC and shopping with an influencer of your choice? Possibly even me ;) For this you need to go here and click VOTE! It's THAT easy!!!

These photos were taken right before summer came back to LA. In the past few days we are back to t-shirts. Not that I am complaining, but I really want fall to return.
