Yes Please #4: Woven Pear Socks

Woven Pear has quickly become a part of my sock drawer ever since I picked up my first two pairs at a local boutique. They are cute, comfy and full of fabulous details (one being the cute woven pear) and love all the different choices. I recently was sent these amazing Ice Cream socks and Bison socks to feature, which is officially one of my favorite packages to get. They are another accessory that gives not only comfort, but that fun peekaboo pop to an ensemble. For me, Woven Pear is always a Yes Please !

Yes Please #5: Hask Hair Products

My hair is thick and there is a lot of it. I am always looking for great products that are paraben & sulfate free. I have fallen in love with Hask Hair ever since I first tried their shampoo, conditioner and dry shampoo (my fave). I have been wanting to try all their products for awhile so I was overjoyed when Hask Hair themselves sent me all their amazing products. I was overwhelmed with joy and excitement to try them all. Hask Hair is hair happiness for me and always a Yes Please !

Pink is Everywhere !

Published on October 28, 2016 by icedteaandtopknotsLeave a comment

October is one of my favorite months out of the year not just because fall is in full swing, but because it is the month dedicated to Breast Cancer Awareness.

Throughout the year we always here about raising awareness for breast cancer, which is great, but what I love about October is the awareness is amped up and the conversations about how we have all been affected by Breast Cancer are ever present. The events are every night, products galore and the conversation is always at the forefront. Every October I try and figure out ways to bring awareness and show my support.

This year I have decided to write about and similar to years past I always pick up products where the proceeds give back to Breast Cancer Research and also show support with their stand out pink.

Don’t be afraid to rock Pink, its the new black especially in October !

Be sure to visit, Susan G Komen Foundation, for more information on how to give back!

P.S. A great activity that helps give back is the Avon The Walk to End Breast Cancer .

Hat: Forever 21 Sunglasses: Chanel Shirt: T & J Designs Skirt: IL Teatro Pasadena

Shoes: Target Purse: Michael Kors Rings: Vintage Jade Ring and Forever 21 Bow Ring

Bracelets: Pura Vida Bracelets (all the proceeds go to Breast Cancer Research; partnered with Pura Vida to promote, continue to buy these amazing bracelets for great causes)

Fashion in the Office: More than Just Clothes

Published on January 21, 2016January 21, 2016 by icedteaandtopknots2 Comments

Whether you work out of a home office or drive to one everyday, Fashion in the Office is a part of your day from the clothes to the accessories and supplies.

Glamour Magazine, Sugar Paper LA Agenda, Cube Appeal Girl Boss Mug & Post It Notes, Kate Spade Notebook

For me, I work from home and coffee shops, which it is easy to get into sweatpants and a sweatshirt because it is comfortable, but have my blog and pr clients it allows me to get motivated and creative to always look on point even if it is a casual at the home office look.

Candies Glasses,Must Have Arrow Earrings, Must Have Geometric Stone Necklace, BP Red Sweater, Xhilaration Polka Dot Tshirt Dress, Paperchase Briefcase, Nine West Heels

Love Midi Ring, Coco Rose Boutique Geometric Ring

Fashion at the Office isn’t just about the fashion ensemble, but what it represents and for me it represents not just pride in my work, but pride in myself. It is saying to the world , ” I love what I do and I am passionate about it.” That is why I make myself as often as I can to get office ready because it makes me feel like I got a little extra sparkle in my eyes and can take the day by storm. Office ready also includes always have my go tos for the day, which includes not just my outfit, but my go to Girl Boss mug & post it notes, Kate Spade Notebook, my planner and Glamour magazine (for research).

Paper White Paisley Blazer, Express Turquoise Turtleneck, American Eagle Dress Sweatpants, Adam Tucker Flats, Coach Purse, West of Camden Paper Airplane Earrings

My goal is to continue to get up and got to my desk with a look I take pride in and I do this for me and only me because it represents my true passion for fashion and beyond. Whether I am rocking my casual chic dressy sweatpant look to my polka dot tshirt dress , I always shoot for the stars!

So I ask you, what makes your go to Fashion piece for working that exudes your passion and true self? Remeber dress for yourself and when you feel confident it reflects in the work that you love and are truly passionate about. Fashion in the Office is fun, fabulous and an extension of you 🙂

Christmas Time is Here with Fabulous Flare and Tradition

Published on December 24, 2015 by icedteaandtopknotsLeave a comment

Christmas is here and I am smiling from ear to ear. This is my favorite time of year for many reasons. Yes, it is exciting to get gifts and give them, but this is not why I love Christmas. I will keep it short and sweet as to why because let me tell you this topic alone could be months worth of blog posts.

H&M Top, Mint Julep Boutique Polka Dot Skirt, Attire LA Sunglasses, Santa Earrings, Gold Envelope Clutch, Navy Tights, Forever 21 Bow Ring

Christmas Time for me is my favorite because it means laughter with family and friends, sitting by the Christmas tree, eating a delicious honey baked ham, A Christmas Story movie will probably always make an apperance, Christmas mass where we all get to rock amazing holiday fashion(the fashions pictured are two of my favorite looks this year !) and yes rocking my new Christmas PJS.

Christmas time is all about tradition and that tradition is spending time with each other and yes we do open gifts, but what I get excited about the most is watching everyone else open their gifts and seeing them get giddy. With my family there seems to always be lots of laughter when we open our stockings and gifts, which creates such a warmth in me 🙂

Sparkle Bow Barret, Wreath Earrings, Candy Cane Stud Earring

Christmas time tradition also includes picking up a tree, decorating it with family ornaments, shopping together, wrapping presents, baking yummy cookies, putting up lights with my dad and in recent years, I have been going to Pinterest for a couple new DIY decorations for each new Christmas time season.

IMG_4697-2 — My accessories for the holidays always include this heart sparkle ring from my mom. It is sentimental and an added bonus it sparkles. This amazing bracelet was gifted to me by Pura Vida, which is fun and festive. Also makes for an amazing gift 🙂

I will end this year’s Christmas time post with why Christmas time for me is extra exciting. The reason is because it is my Amazing mother’s birthday the very same day we celebrate Christmas ! We celebrate it by going to a fun movie, opening bday gifts and fullfilling my mom’s sweet tooth with a birthday cake.

With Jingle Bells playing, trees shining with tinsel and cookies being eaten, what do you love most about the holiday season ?

Happy Birthday to Mom ! Il Teatro Faux Fur Vest, Single Forest Green Cocktail Dress, Nine West Holiday Red Shoes

First Step Into Fall Fashions

Published on October 18, 2015October 18, 2015 by icedteaandtopknots3 Comments

Fall is here… well, somewhat here in Southern California, but for most of the country the tree leaves have change and the air is brisk and one can’t forget about the change in fashions.

*Merona Sweater, Fall Dressy Cropped Top, Lucky Brand Jeans, Mossimo Boots, Coach Purse, Vintage Necklaces

Fall is one of my favorite times of year because it brings about the colorful leaves, all

things pumpkin from lattes to the well known seed, carving for Halloween, amazing

times with family and friends, and great fashion go to’s like a great pair of boots, a favorite

sweater and of course all the amazing pops of color we get to incorporate into our

everyday wardrobe. I do have a confession to make: I sometimes rock those colors

all year round when I am feeling in a fall mood. But, that is what fashion is all about, right? Wearing what you feel and owning it !

*Abercrombie Jean Jacket, White & Black Striped Tee, Forever 21 Necklace, Quilted Gold Chain Purse, Michael Kors Watch, Ranna Gill Floral Maxi Skirt, Ana Michelle Shoes

I am rocking four of my favorite fall looks from jeans paired with a fall sweater and boots

to a long floral skirt & striped shirt paired with my favorite jean jacket to everything in between. I hope these inspire you to rock your favorite fall fashions with your favorite fall latte 🙂
