I don’t know about you.. but I love the holidays! I spent the last week celebrating with friends and family, eating deliciousness every night and shopping it up on Black Friday.

Here’s a peek of my holiday fun through the lens of instagram.

Playing with a new hair style and some Lennon sunnies!

I just returned from a week in New York, and I wanted to share a few snapshots of the whirlwind week.

Fall was ablaze in the city that never sleeps… the leaves were painted autumn colors, the rain drizzled down wet and cold and scarves and jackets were a necessity.

I loved and soaked up every minute in the city, but after a week… I was ready to see and smell the pacific ocean with it’s breezes and fog that rolls in every night.. that is my fall!

the Quiksilver mission leather jacket

She looks hot in her hooded leather moto style jacket.

Long, cropped, black, brown, mate, sparkling, it enhances every outfit with a rockabilly touch! With the mission leather jacket and her wide hood, she feels like nothing can happen to her. She looks great in every outfit as long as she wears her favourite jacket.

Here are some ways of wearing a leather jacket, get inspired!

Pairs it with a colorful dress and a vintage bag like Christina.

Or such as Rumi and Margaux, mix it with shorts, cami and high heels, to keep it sexy.

And finally, Beth Jones our brand ambassador plays the bright colors with this yellow scarf, but stays simple.

With Halloween around the corner, I thought I’d leave behind talk of fashion and dive into the holiday spirit!

Style translates from clothes to home decor, and for the seasons it’s fun to get in the mood. This season, why not let the coast inspire some pumpkin carving that fits right in to the carefree days by the sea.

Who says the coast doesn’t have seasons.. we can bring them together in one happy Halloween marriage! So get decorating.

A must-have this fall has to be the QSW Hand Crafted Parka.

Its the extra layer to every look, and makes just about everything look that much better. There are so many ways to wear it.. so take some inspiration from the looks below!

Take inspiration and go tomboy chic with the parka. Pair it with plaid, boyfriend skinnies and ankle booties.

Give the parka a Parisian spin by pairing it with stripes. Belt it and accessorize with a bright and colorful beanie.

Simplify the parka with a simple sweater and statement frames.

Dressing up my QSW Brewster slim boyfriend jeans

To gussy them up, I pulled out one of my favorite bow-tie blouse and paired it with this vintage “chanel-ish” jacket. It felt casual.. yet chic!  For the last touch, I slipped on my bow-embellished pumps. They were a charity shop discovery, and I have a feeling I’ll be bow-ing up a lot of looks this fall.

Another look at some labor day fun! Your weekend may HOPEFULLY send you down to the beach, lake or any fabulous body of water that lets you cool off and unwind before heading back into reality.

So take one last chance to celebrate summer, and show off your summer tan in the Iconic bikini . Layer up your look with the Autumn leaves strappy tank dress and throw on a wide brim hat and sandals.

One last hurrah before summer ends.. make it a good one!

shop the looks: Estrella dress,  third bay denim shirt, momentum bag

Sometimes you are a city girl, and sometimes you are a beach girl… wear the Estrella dress in one or the other.

Jeans and a top.. something  that we all wear and looks great.

I love the simple look that this creates, but can be dressed up for what ever your style or personality.

The lovely thing is that it is up to you, your style and your way.. when it comes to dressing for your beach weekend.
