Cherry Pop....

I got this bright cherry red skirt from J Crew this past weekend.  I think the options for this skirt are limitless but today I decided to go with one of my favorite color combos, red, blue, white and a dash of leopard. Done and done. To all my readers on the East Coast I hope you are all safe after the storm.

Style Tip:  Red, White, and Blue, always makes me think that I am dressing for the 4th of July.  By adding leopard whether it be a scarf, heels, or handbag it automatically makes the outfit a little less themed and more trendy.

About Shoes...

I am so sad that it's starting to get dark earlier which makes it very difficult to take outfit pictures. I am going to have to come up with some out of the box ways to get my outfit posts in during these winter months.  But onto today's post, its all about shoes and all are available at Zara.  They offer some really great options for for fall below are a couple that I love, mostly because they remind me of less expensive versions of designer shoes that I can't afford.  I may even try to add a pair to my wardrobe at some point this season.

Pinning.....

Soooo, I finally gave in and decided to start my own pinterest account.  I didn't start one months ago for fear that I would have something else to be addicted to but honestly it has proven to be a useful tool.  I wanted to share some of my favorite pins at the moment and if you are interested follow me on Pinterest, here.

Sparkly Elbow Patches Love!!!

Love Mira Duma and that Burberry Jacket make my heart sing!

Love this pattern!!

Blue...

I have been enjoying the perfectly luke warm weekends we have been having in Texas.  Its been a bit too warm to wear all my winter boots however because I'm inpatient I decided to throw these on with one of my favorite pairs of cut off shorts.  These boots are pretty much a statement on their own so a white tee and my favorite navy fleece were the perfect compliments.

Style Tip:  It doesn't have to be 30 below for you to wear your favorite winter pieces.  Boots are one of those items that are easy to wear during those transitioning to winter days.  Pairing them with your favorite shorts or cute little dress is a great way to start to incorporate them into your fall wardrobe.

Unpublished.....

I had a completely different outfit in mind for today's post but the sun is starting to set earlier and the result of the pictures was no bueno.  So I looked on my trusty memory card and found these pictures from my trip to Chicago last month that I never posted.  I found this dress at Urban Outfitters after spotting it on Instagram.  Its such a great easy maxi that you can just throw on and wear to just about any summer event.  Its now tucked away but I'm sure will return for many a bbq and night out when summer returns.

Dress My Nest: Hello CHANEL!!

Apparently I'm on a roll with revisiting my home decor.  I guess its mostly because its not really sale season so I have been able to focus on getting some much needed items to add to my place.  I found this great piece of art on Gilt about a month ago and it was finally delivered.  I love the juxtaposition between the graffiti and the high end connotation of the Chanel C's. I can't wait to get my navy curtains that my mom owes me they will really pop this art.

Thank Goodness....

For those days when your photographer is not available.  Thanks goodness for the great lighting and large mirrors in the fitting rooms at Anthropologie and my trusty old iPhone. Took these quick snaps today while doing some Monday shopping.

Style Tip:  Love stripes?  Try looking for styles that are done in a unique way.  I love the way these are cut and sewn on the bias and offer a fun new look.
