French Bulldog
Tuesday, October 30, 2012
I've been loving all of the graphic sweaters this season! From Foxes to Owls to Tigers, oh my, there have been so many fun options. As soon as I saw this French Bulldog sweater at J.Crew, I just knew he had to come home with me. As you all know I've been loving winter white this season, so I thought pairing this sweater with some white 7 FAM jeans would really make the look pop. Have you guys indulged in this trend yet?

White on White
Monday, October 29, 2012
Happy Monday everyone! Today's post is my first attempt at using a tripod for taking my outfit pictures. Using a tripod has always kind of intimidated me (and let's be honest made me feel a little silly), but at a certain point I just got sick of being on everyone else's schedule. All said and done, I think I started getting the hang of things towards the end, give or take a few framing issues ha. As far as my outfit goes, I've really been inspired by all of the white on white I have been seeing lately. I'm also a sucker for a great bootie like these ox blood ones from ShoeMint. I have had them on serious repeat ever since they arrived.

Interview
Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Job Interviews. Everyone has them, and I think I speak for all of us when I say that they are stressful. You can be as mentally prepared as you want, but I think there a certain security can only come from a well planned outfit. I wanted a professional look that still let my personality show through. As far as hair goes I left it all up to my new Amika hair wand. Not only does it make my curls last all day, but it is completely idiot proof so even I can't mess it up.
I like to use a little Amika dry shampoo, to give my roots a little lift and my curls some extra texture. Bonus: it smells so amazing it doubles as perfume!

Metropolis
Monday, October 15, 2012
As soon as I laid eyes on these by boe Metropolis earrings I fell madly in love. They are dainty and yet still make a big impact, a hard combo to come by. I thought the perfect compliment to the earrings would be a pleated leather skirt and denim shirt, classic
and simple.

Every girl needs that perfect go to "Date Night" outfit. An ace in the hole look that is sure make you look fabulous and feel confident. I love this black and white ASOS number because it is simple and sexy. I decided to add these red pumps from Zara, in order to up the sassy quota. What is y'alls idea of a perfect date night look?

Daytime Sequins
Wednesday, October 10, 2012
A few years ago the rules were clear and simple: No white after labor day; Don't wear any combination of Black, Brown, or Navy; No sequins during the daytime, No mixing of patterns (i.e. polka dots and stripes); and so on. However, heading into this fall season it is starting to feel like the only rule is there are no rules. In fact most of the so called "don'ts" of fashion's past, are becoming my "do's" of fashion's present. I frequently mix patterns, rock a black and brown combo, and we all know I'm a huge fan a daytime sequin. All that is to say, in today's post I am wearing sequins during the day...and I like it. SideSmile.
