Juxtaposition

I didn’t think about it when I put this outfit together, but when I was editing these photos, I noticed the juxtaposition that I created-floral shoes and a beanie paired together in the same look! Ha! But for some reason, I think it works.  Maybe it’s the part of me that’s longing for warmer weather, or maybe it’s the color combo of mint and pale pink that I can’t seem to stop wearing lately.  But either way, I want to know, would you pair your spring items with your winter items this time of year?

And don’t forget, today is the LAST day to enter the giveaway with Moose and Nigel.  The necklace I am wearing in this post is yet another one of Megan’s beautiful creations!  Details below…

Second Chance

There is a funny saying floating around Instagram that says: “Nothing haunts us like the things we didn’t buy”.  And every time I see it, I have a good chuckle, because sometimes it isn’t that far from the truth!  Such was the case for the sweater in today’s post.  I tried it on at JCrew last summer and decided not to buy it (even though I loved it). And I have always regretted not purchasing it.  So when I saw that JCrew Factory released an almost identical version  a few weeks ago-I pounced!  And I am SO glad that I did.  Not only did I get a great deal on it, but it is such a pretty and unique piece that I know I will wear for years to come.  Thank goodness for second chances!

So Long, 2013…

I always get a little reflective and perhaps even pensive when each year ends and a new one begins.  It is a time of excitement and the promise of a new beginning and fresh start, but the turning of that page always makes me a little sad too.  The older I get, the faster and faster time seems to go.  Cliche, I know, but true none-the-less.

Looking back at 2013, this blog has really been such a highlight of my year.  And so, I wanted to take today’s post to THANK ALL OF YOU for being with me every step of the way.  Your support, your engagement, your ideas, your encouragement, your love-it has all meant the world to me. And I sincerely hope you will continue along this journey with me into 2014  I could not do what I do every day without each and every single one of you. So truly, from the bottom of my hear, THANK YOU.

And what better way to close out 2013 than with a look back at some of my (and yours too!) favorite looks from this year…

Another Little Piece of My Heart

When I was singing in Nashville, one of my favorite songs to perform was Janis Joplin’s version of, you guessed it, Another Little Piece of my heart.  It is one of my all-time favorite songs and she, one of my all-time favorite artists.  And I’d  like to think that perhaps it’s my love for classic music that drew me to this sweater, and not just a weakness for happy sweaters… IMG_1905 IMG_1907 IMG_1917 IMG_1911 IMG_1915 IMG_1920

Fashion Fusion

I had such a fantastic time at the Fall Fashion Fusion event at Fashion Place Mall last Friday.  From the red carpet arrival, to the VIP treatment, and all of the goodies c/o Fashion Place, I felt pretty darn special.  And not only that, but show was fun and inspiring and of course I always LOVE seeing the designs created by the students at the Fashion Institute. And with that, I thought I might end the week by sharing some photos from the evening with all of you!

Foiled

I love silver. And metallics. And sparkles. In fact, when I was in high school, my girlfriends and I loved the Spice Girls so much that we each had our own Spice Girl name. And I was Sparkle Spice. Go figure. So needless to say, I am loving the sequin and sparkle t-shirt trend this season. Especially when paired back to destroyed jeans and other accessories of a like metallic, for a sparkly, yet monochromatic look…

So I’ve got a question.  What do you all think of my silver Michael Kors bag?  I got it for a steal at Macy’s, but am on the fence as to whether or not it’s a keeper.  Would love to know if you guys think I should love it or leave it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Transition

Transition
 
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 
 
I hate to admit it, but fall is in the air.  And as I feel the crispness start to infiltrate early mornings and late evenings, I can’t help but find myself drawn to more transitional pieces.  Particularly anything leather, leopard, or with studs.
 
Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!
