fffabulous

making the jump

On a typical -day or- night out, you will either find me:

• Out of battery. And in that case you don't want to come close to me. Or maybe you should because this is probably the only time I won't be glued to my phone. He!
• Phone switched off because I have 5% battery left and I'll need those 5% to order an Uber eventually. 
• Standing by a power outlet, charging my phone so I can order my Uber as soon as my phone has come back to life.
• Falling in love with a friend a bit more because they happen to have a battery pack handy. That would be my friend Sarah. I <3 you, Sarah.

Now, you may wonder why I haven't invested in that battery pack already. Like how hard can this be? Well, the only thing that has been preventing me from getting that life-saver Uber-friendly battery pack is #allthechoices—which one to get? and that I'll now have to also remember to charge that battery pack as well. Unless that battery pack doubles into a charging cable. Which happens to be what the JUMP cable is all about. Which means I am ordering it right now. And so should you because it's fffabulous, and chances are: I won't be sharing mine. Per the above. <3

crazy for camo

What's cuter than a camo bag? A camo bag with a bright orange embroidered lightning bolt on it. JET by John Eshaya has done it again with this awesome companion bag in camo. It is ultra light, sturdy, roamy and overall trendy. To use everyday or as a weekender bag. Or both.

backpacking. kinda.

I have been looking for the perfect commuter backpack forever. It has to be practical (read: hold all my work and workout crap all day, every day), it has to be comfy (read: if I go for a backpack, it has to have my back more than all of the one shoulder fashion bags I own), and it has to be fancy (read: I don't want to look like I am climbing Mount Rainier, EVER). The Marc By Marc Jacobs Loco Domo Packrat Backpack is just that: Classic black like most of my outfits (sadly), trendy gold zippers all over, ultra light and comfy, and so very cute!!

genius

Ace Hotel Palm Springs never ceases to amaze me. Love, love, love their 'Make Up' black hand towel. Genius.

Note to self: This makes for one perfect DIY hostess gift.

 

a strategic move

I pretty much always wear black when I got out. ALWAYS. Because it's easy to mix and match different (black) pieces; and black is elegant, and always flattering. That said, this season's goal is to add some strategic colorful accessories to spice things a bit. This Valentino Rockstud Wristlet Clutch is all that: fancy (Valentino), trendy (rockstud), spicy (red). What's better than a stunning bold red clutch to make a bold statement, really?

sézane, ouvre-toi

The countdown has begun. Can't wait to shop sezane.com. Love their clothes, their shoes and their purses.

In the meantime, check out their blog and fall in love with pretty much everything, if not everything. <3

lesportsac extra large weekender in cheetah print

Two years ago, I bought my first LeSportSac large weekender in Maui, spécial édition and all. This year, I may just get the extra large weekender because it's all around fffabulous in the cheetah print; and because the large weekender sometimes isn't big enough to carry it all. Right, right?

om your heart out scarf

Lululemon strikes again. I love this Om Your Heart scarf. The fabric is soft and ultra light, the dot pattern is fun, and the infinity loop style is just perfect: I double it up when I want it to keep me warm, or I just wear it as a 'long necklace' when I want to accessorize a classic tee or tank top. Love.

 

your travel companion

LINE The Travel Companion blanket sweater is your perfect travel companion. Literally. I am surprised I've never run into one of these 'sweaters' in the past; such a cool concept! First, I love the lightweight cashmere. You don't feel it yet it keeps you warm and cozy. Second, it's stylish—it's just as flowy as a cardiwrap and has nice button details at sleeves, real buttons. Last but not least, it's three things in one. Wear is as a cardigan (pictured here), as a scarf, or unbutton it and wear it as a pashmina. Who said you can't travel in style?

Get this beautiful blanket sweater at Bella Rosa Boutique (and pair it with this Voyage Jet Set Beverly Hills tee), or on Revolve Clothing. One size fits all.

totally hooked

I had coffee with Lynn the other day, and we hadn't even sat down yet that she pulled TheHookup out of her purse, so she could safely hang her purse, and keep it off the floor. I think I stared at this fffabulous purse holder a million times, and secretly wished I owned one, too. Isn't it the cutest accessory ever?

PS: Check out TheHookup Facebook fan page to see how people use it; fffabulous, isn't it?

we <3 thehookup

I had a crush on TheHookup the minute I saw it. How something so useful can be so chic and elegant? Carry this beautiful purse holder in your purse, or clip the heart around your purse handle for an stylish accessory. Untwist the heart into a simple but elegant S-shaped hook to hang your purse and keep it off the dirty floor. Voilà!

love quotes scarf in portobello

After I blogged about my favorite cardi/scarf combo, a few friends reached out to find out where they could get this Love Quotes scarf in that exact colour. So here we go, ladies! The colour is called Portobello. It's a beautiful warm beige colour with a hint of pink that is flattering to most complexions. And, it's available on Revolve Clothing. Woot!

And yes, I was wearing my favorite cardi/scarf combo at the Foodzie Popup Launch Party last November. Are you surprised? PS: I <3 Foodzie! Photo credit: Owen Smith.

inhabit cashmere cardi + love quotes scarf = <3

I thought I'd share my favorite cardi/scarf combo these days. I'd wear my Inhabit cashmere cardi in cobblestone and my Love Quotes scarf in Portobello every single day if I could. The colors blend nicely, and it has a comfy and casual yet sophisticated look to it. <3

alexander mcqueen skull chiffon scarf

Miss Ashley in da house! Ashley showed up at our volunteering training wearing this beautiful Alexander McQueen Skull chiffon scarf in navy/pink. This skull scarf is all around fffabulous. I *love* this navy/fushia color combo. Because navy goes well with jeans, and who doesn't wear jeans? And, fushia is a nice shade of pink, and which woman in her right mind doesn't love pink?

This Alexander McQueen skull chiffon scarf is also available in army/black, black/ivory or ivory/black. What your favorite color combo?

happy socks

These aren't just socks, they are Happy Socks. And, they've become my favorite socks to wear. Happy Socks socks come in a million colors and patterns, are extremely comfy and last the test of time. Get a few pairs that match your personality and wardrobe, and flash them to whomever want to see them. Fun fun! They make the perfect stocking stuffers, too.

Bonus: You can unintentionally mismatch them and noone will notice. True story.
