November Recap

I can not believe it's already December! Where has the year gone? It seems like not too long ago it was February and I was writing my first blog post!

Today I'm recapping my outfits from last month. I realize I only have 5 actual "outfit" posts for November and that's because I did a couple of different posts throughout the month such as "Ten Things You May Not Know About Me", A Tour Through Blogland, and the recaps of our trip to Madrid and Rome. If you want to check them out, just click on the post titles.

Wishing everyone a happy Hump Day. See you back here on Friday!

Opposites Attract

Jacket: Piperlime Collection (on super sale right now!), Scarf: Madewell (25% Off right now with code GIFTON), Jeans: Zara (old, similar at a steal here and here), Shoes: BCBGeneration (old, similar here), Bag: Chanel, Sunglasses: Versace, Lipstick: Mac "Girl About Town"

One of my favorite all time color combinations is gray and pink. I think what makes them work so well together is their opposing characteristics. Pink is a happy, girly, playful color, while gray is a little more serious, muted, and at times even somber.

In this outfit, the pale pink jacket, with its innate girly and sweet feel is a perfect contrast to the more manly and stern shades of gray of the scarf, jeans, and bag. Just like in other aspects of life, opposites do attract.

How do you feel about this color pairing? What are some of your favorite color combinations?

Black Friday Sales!!!

Happy Friday, loves! I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. We spent ours with friends and family eating way too much!

I want to let you know about the sales that are going on today at some of my favorite stores. Just click on the name of the store below and start shopping! I plan to do a little (or maybe a lot!) online shopping this morning before going out to enjoy the day on the boat with some friends (because, who's got time to drive around repeatedly looking for parking, fight the crowds for an item, stand in line for an hour, and stress out at the mall?) Not me. I'll do my shopping from home in my pajamas while sipping a cup of coffee, thank you very much.

Have a great weekend and see you back here on Monday!

And the Party Continues

Top: Banana Republic (on Sale now, plus take an additional 30% off your entire Banana Republic purchase through end of day today with code BRBLACK30 !), Skater Skirt: Forever 21 (also really like this one , by the way, all their regular priced skirts and dresses are 20% off right now!), Shoes: Manolo Blahnik (lower cost options here and here),  Bag: Chanel (seriously in awe of this steal option in black here), Sunglasses: Prada (similar lower cost option here)

So, today I bring you another option for a casual party during the upcoming holiday celebrations. In my quest to wear (and show you) more looks with skirts and dresses, I have confirmed that I am partial to the skater style in both said pieces.

I just love the girly, slightly flirty, look of this mesh skater skirt from Forever 21. It's so figure flattering, and the black mesh overlay on the cream background adds a little edge. Plus, you can't beat the price! I paired this skirt with a perforated faux leather top  that I tucked in to sort of "dress up" the look (tucked in is always dressier than not). A ladylike bag and a pair of high-heeled pointy toe pumps and, et voila, I am ready for yet another party! ;-)

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving! I am spending it with friends and family. I hope you get to spend yours surrounded by your loved ones as well!
