Bouclé

KatWalkSF - J. Crew Fringe

What exactly is bouclé?

Bouclé is both a yarn + a fabric made from it. The yarn is made from a length of loops of similar size which can range from tiny circlets to large curls. Bouclé is also the name of the fabric made from this type of yarn, especially fabric that maintains the looped appearance.

Now, no two boucle designs look exactly alike. This happens because many designers choose to mix more than one color of yarn to create a multicolor boucle jacket, adding a colorful or tweed appearance.

While this jacket is NOT Chanel, Coco Chanel made bouclé famous + it still serves as a classic fabric for the design house.

A Dreamy Denim Jacket

McGuire, Skywalker Leather Fringe-Trimmed Denim Jacket

When the denim jacket of your dreams is delivered by Santa Claus you:

1. Freak out and thank Santa (my mother, Lucy).

2. Throw it on, embrace the fringe + style it with all the silver and turquoise details.

Friday Forecast: The Creeper Shoe

KatWalkSF - Creeper Shoes

While this trend may be slightly terrifying, the creeper shoe is here and on nearly every fashionista.

Like the flatform (another Friday Forecast), creepers have a chunky and often lug sole. They’re heavy, geeky, and the number one footwear style popping up on the feet of fashion girls right now. Styles vary from clunky, ultra-high shoes to simple boyfriend inspired styles.

Will you be sporting creepers this season?

I dove into this trend, but with this very affordable pair.

…Frank is still on the fence.

If creepers are a YES for you, shop some of my favorite ‘creeper’ styles below:

A Few of My Favorite Things

KatWalkSF - Reformation

The holiday season is FINALLY over, so now I can FINALLY catch up!

Instagram has been an easy platform for me to quickly share this holiday season + now I am catching up here with from some of my favorite looks + details!

This Reformation jumpsuit was a sample sale score that took me from day to night and all over the city in style. I also sported these Adam Lippes x Target pumps regularly! Who knew that $39 pumps could look so good?!

Valentino Tango Pumps

These Valentino ‘Tango’ Pumps were on repeat the entire holiday season.

These bad boys are festive + the chunky heel allows for long wear (without attempting to cut off my feet).

KatWalkSF

Everything from this look was a favorite this holiday season. The jumpsuit was worn weekly, including when I fulfilled my lifelong dream of starring on the local news here in San Francisco for the Ghirardelli Square tree lighting!

Bowzer Bracelets – all day every day.

I live alone. They don’t have a clasp. I wear them every freakin’ day!

Marrin Costello Choker

A choker stack.

I stole the druzy choker off the designers neck (sorry, not sorry Marrin) + quickly picked up the thin choker when she introduced it to her new collection. I love to layer them together + the clasps are easy for a single lady to get on!

KatWalkSF - Les Mechantes Ladytie

A ladytie + an off the shoulder top.

Easy + Effortless.

KatWalkSF - ASOS Say You Will Pointed Heels

Pom Pom heels…yep!

But, they are next to impossible to walk in->insert Poshmark!

And I close this ‘Favorite Things’ post with my absolute favorite sweatshirt!

Touch My Butt & Buy Me Pizza
