My Denim Vest Moment....

I was so inspired by my post last week about the denim vest that I pulled one of mine out of the closet.  I  knew it would be perfect over the cream sweater from Forever I had been obsessing over, that I finally found. The weather on Saturday was mild and just warm enough that I could still wear a skirt with bare legs.  On the way out the door I decided another layer was in order so I grabbed my favorite leather jacket and popped it on over my outfit.  I think I had the perfect denim vest moment.....

I Love the Unexpected...

Especially when it comes to color selection for home decor.  I saw this room in the most recent issue of Lonny Mag and was immediately drawn to the dusty coral and dark purple color combo.  Need I mention that ottoman is to die for?  Overall this room, is amazingly unique and done in just the right way.  Happy Monday everyone! 

The Importance Of Trying Things On.....

I saw this dress during the mega sale that Anthro was having few weeks ago.  It was virtually untouched since there was several of this style still left on the rack.  It wasn't the most flattering dress just hanging there, but at a little over $20 bucks something told me to just pick it up and try it on with the tons of other items that I had already found.  Well, I put it on and to my surprise it looked great.  It was the perfect vintage inspired pattern and a great fun dress that I can wear both in the winter and fall months, this year and next.  So the moral of my short story is when in doubt, and its a great deal, just try it on, you really have nothing to loose.  I hope you all had a great week and are enjoying and even better weekend.

The Classy Chic or Grungy Street Vest.....

I love most clothing items that are made from denim.  I have talked about my love for the denim jacket, but haven't ever really mentioned the vest.  The vest trend comes in and out every few seasons but the denim vest,  I think can be a staple in anyone's wardrobe if worn right.  I love the way these two women below take this usually very unflattering style of the denim vest and make it their own.

Not your Grandmother's Doily.....

Growing up my one of the things that I remember not only about my house, but most of the houses that I went into were the lace doilies that adorned all the end tables in any formal or family room.  Most of them have since been removed but my grandmother's house somehow always looks the exact same as it did when I was a child.  I would have never thought that this decor style would become such a trend in fashion.  Now and days the crochet detail that made those doilies have turned into something much larger.  From dresses to tops, the crochet look is one of the staples at Free People and I want to share a few of my favorites.
 

Twinkle Tips......

I was in line at Forever over the weekend and found myself, yet again, rummaging through the bins of impulse buy merchandise at the register.  I was about half way through the nail polish bin when I saw this fantastic gold color.  All weekend I had the gold half moon manicure top of mind and knew this color would be perfect.  I flipped it over for a quick price check and at $2.80 I was sold.  Now I just have to find a color to complement this gold, which I don't think will be too hard, and I will test this manicure out for myself.

The Classic Navy Blazer with a Twist.....

I bought this blazer at Zara several months ago now and finally got the chance to wear it this past weekend.  I was immediately drawn to the unique button detail on the cuff which is one of my favorite parts of this jacket.   It was only after I tried it on that I noticed the exaggerated shoulders which I also love.  There were a couple of colors to choose from but I decided on the classic navy with the single gold button closer at the front.  I hope you all had a Happy New Year.
