Dreaming Celine's Accessories

Counting down to Spring. It will officially be here in 9 days. I can't wait for warmer weather ahead. With that, it's also time for Spring cleaning my closet. Time to reshuffle my Fall/Winter outfit to make room for breezy tops and Spring dresses. In the meantime, I am coveting Celine Spring/Summer accessories. I love Celine's new twist on chunky oversize jewelry with geometric shape and bold colors. They are such statement pieces and would brighten up any outfit.

Quietude

Fall 2014 Fashion Week concluded last week. I am inspired by the quiet sophistication from some of the collections. Clean and tailored lines -- simple but yet impactful. Particularly, I love three-piece outfit i.e. top+bottom+coat combo which is perfect for layering in San Francisco's fickle weather. They are also Monday-appropriate. Here's to a great start of the week. Some of my favorites below:

Suede Meet Shearling

Faux Shearling Jacket and Beanie, Blouse, Sunglasses, Faux Leather Pants, Jewelries: H&M // Bag: Old Navy // Boots: Crown Vintage

Feeling brown and beige today so I donned my faux suede shearling jacket. They say neutral color combinations make you feel calm, centered and grounded. Perhaps that is just what I need today after such a hectic week. Some side story: I actually got the beanie last year without the jacket. So, when I saw a matching jacket few weeks ago, I couldn't say no... It's Friday. Time to chill out. I hope you've had a great week.

Graphic Fun

Skirt and Round Sunnies: Peter Pilotto x Target // Sweater and Clutch: H&M // Jewelry: H&M, Forever 21 // Shoes: Nine West

I know I know it's long overdue. I am now finally wearing the pieces that I got from my Peter Pilotto x Target shopping haul. The graphic skirt and the sunglasses are among the items that were in my wishlist. Other than the skirt and the sunglasses, I was glad that I snatched a few other things that I could mix and match and use for different occasions. This skirt is my favorite because it is made of textured crepe fabric and I absolutely love the geometric print and the asymmetrical wrap design. And how could I not love these sunglasses. They go with the skirt and are a fun add to any black or white outfit. I normally do not wear bold prints. However, I find that fun graphic lifted my mood and made me feel 'bold'er in today's grey murky weather. I will for sure be wearing more of Peter Piloto's pieces. Stay tuned!

My Top 5 Oscars Red Carpet Looks

Like most of you, I spent my Sunday night tuning to the Oscars. There are so many great movies I want to watch now. In the meantime, there were also so many great star-studded red carpet styles. I picked my top 5 favorites from last night. 

Cate Blanchett won Best Actress for her performance in Blue Jasmine. She walked down the red carpet and took the Oscar in her stunning Armani Prive dress and Chopard earrings. There were two speeches that I was really inspired by at the Oscars. Hers is one of them. She made a strong statement about women in films: "Films with women as the main characters are not niche, and in fact, they make money!" Not only was she a talented actress, she has a great style and is just a classy inspiring woman.

Jennifer Lawrence looks radiant in her orangy-red Dior couture dress and Neil Lane diamond necklace. Not a surprise given that her contract with Dior was extended. What I am surprised about is, like last year, she tripped again in her floor length dress(!). I love Jennifer Lawrence. She is so real and down to earth. She seems like someone that you can just talk to. With that, I feel for her. It's not easy to walk in sky high heels and tight floor length dress. Perhaps Dior should try a different design for Jennifer Lawrence next year?

Lupita Nyong'O donned a Grecian goddess look in this sky blue drapey Prada gown to her first Oscars. Her Fred Leighton diamond and gold headband added just the right hint of sparkle. She won best supporting actress and delivers a beautiful and emotional speech. She ended by saying "No matter where you come from, your dream is valid." I am looking forward to seeing her next movies.

Anne Hathaway is glistening in her Gucci dress. This silhouette is very similar to the 'controversial' Prada dress that she wore to last year's Oscar. However, this year, the dress is party in the front instead of party at the back like last year. And I have to say this Gucci dress fits her much better than then Prada dress. This dress shimmers in the dark. It was brought to life when she came to present at the stage especially when all lights were on her. It was so surreal to look at.

Charlize Theron won me with her Dior dress and $15mm flawless Harry Winston diamond necklace. I absolutely love the low plunging neckline and the sheer details, both at the straps and the bottom of the dress. Her smokey eyes added the right amount of drama to her all-black look. To me, this is a classic chic red carpet look with a modern twist.

What about you? Which ones are your favorite red carpet looks?
