Two Skirts: 2124 Chestnut St.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this store. Imagine fashion heaven and you still haven't found Two Skirts, an amazing boutique located in the Marina section of San Francisco. And no, this store is not like every other boutique out there. Not to mention that the clothing collection there is so perfect, but I found the owner to be lovely and very real. From Hudson to Tory Burch, this store is the perfect getaway for every woman. Thinking about taking a personal day soon? Spend it at Two Skirts and spoil yourself. My personal favorite today, a gorgeous bright pink one shoulder cocktail dress. Don't even get me started on their collection of clutches. I'm contemplating selling things just so I can take the money and shop at this store, and thats not a joke ladies. Trust me on this one.

PS. They are having a generous sale right now. GO!

Wink Wink

Think of the best shopping taste you could find in NYC, and you will feel right at home at Wink boutique, located in SoHo. If you aren't a NYC local, don't fret! Wink has created a perfect homepage for the shopping obsessed, and it will give a feeling more joyous than that of Christmas morning. Featuring icons of "as seen in," "accessories," "beauty," "apparel," etc, this site is the almighty of all shopping websites. If you are on a budget, don't even tempt yourself, because it will truly break your heart when you see the items you can't afford (trust me, first hand experience). Their accessories are truly to die for. I have never wanted to buy so many headbands or clutches in my life, and needless to say, I bought the headband pictured above and am now a self professed head band junkie thanks to this store. If you know what is good for this fashion world, go to this website and support this gorgeous boutique(winknyc.com). Not only do they carry my favorite designers, Foley +Corrina, Alice and Olivia etc., but their own Wink line(shown above) is proven to come from exquisite taste. And if you happen to stumble upon the one in SoHo, you will find very helpful girls working as well as a perfectly quaint and not overwhelming store full of fabulous finds. Enjoy ladies, I know I did!

Fringe is not just a hippie trend anymore lovlies. Pick up a pair of Kettle Black Fringe Boots($365, 2nd pictured) and and pair them with a pair of leggings and a big sweater for a fashionable any day look.

Bittersweet: The Chocolate Cafe

I have found the perfect location for an afternoon of sheer chocolate bliss: Bittersweet, the Chocolate Cafe on Fillmore in San Francisco. Always a fun place for people watching, not to mention delicious chocolate drinks and coffees, this cafe is an interesting atmostphere for a perpetual blogger life myself. Fillmore is a perfect place for fashion watch. My favorite fashion combination seen so far today: black tights with adorable rouched ankle boots and a gorgeous sparkly tan headband.

Style Spotlight: Hilary Duff

Whether its her everyday errand wear or her red carpet look, Hilary Duff has nailed the classy side of fashion. Her red carpet looks have been flawless over the past year, and her normal day to day wardrobe has put her at the top of my fashion books. I am a self proclaimed sweater lover and am in love with all the sweaters she wears, not to mention her attention to detail: her accessories. She always manages to throw in a discrete splash of color that pulls her look out of the ordinary. In Hil's case, credit is given where credit is most certainly due.

Winter's Must Have=Tights

I don't care if you are living in San Francisco or New York City, tights are a must have from east to west coast. For a chilly night, pair your favorite dress with classic black tights or funky colored tights for a reinvented outfit. Throw on a pair of pumps or boots and your outfit is ready, set, FAB! Not only are tights a perfect top off for your outfit, but they are oh so flattering for every body type! Try plain or buy textured to add a little extra spice to your outfit! Recs? Hit up Nordstroms for every possible type of tights you could dream of.

PS. If your dress/ shirt you are trying to make a dress does not sufficiently cover the rear, ditch the top and find something that fits for this outfit!
