Lynx.....

I don't own a ton of things with prints on them.  There is no particular reason for this other than, when I shop I always seem to gravitate towards solids, stripes, or plaids which is hardly a fun wardrobe in the making.  I have been shopping the final end of season sales for the past few weeks and I find myself drawn to this dress again and again from multiple online retailers.  Its perfectly loose with a great pleated detail at the back neck.  The color and style can not only be worn with a great over coat and black tights during these cold months but it will transition perfectly into the warmer months that for some of you can't come soon enough.  It hasn't quite made it into a shopping cart yet but it keeps calling my name.

Light As A Feather.....

Like many of you I do my fair share of online shopping.  This mild obsession unfortunately comes with a ton email blasts.  Those darn blasts, a blessing and a curse all at mixed into one little email.  As I was going through deleting my blasts for the day one from Z Gallerie opened and this beauty appeared.  Its perfectly lovely and delicate and if I had a spot in my home for it, it would be mine.  

Texture.....

I love wearing sweatshirts in the winter.  J Crew has been my sweatshirt destination of choice for the past several seasons, embellished, plain, and textured fabrics are all part of my growing collection.  I recently picked up this great raglan number with a cable textured front that I absolutely love.  I winterized one of my favorite dresses by layering it on top and finished it all off with my oldie but goodie boots.

Relaxed Raglan....

I love a good baseball tee, there is something about the raglan sleeve and color blocking that is so classic yet trendy.  I don't get to wear them as often as I would like during the winter months so when I saw this leather like jacket version with marled sweater sleeves AND on sale it somehow just ended up in a shopping bag on its way home with me.  :)  I opted to pair it with a denim on denim look with my Vic Matie booties that I just can't get enough of lately.

This or That....

Without sounding too repetitive I couldn't believe that when I made my best attempt to shoot for this post, there it was AGAIN, that darn wind.  I am ready for a break from the wind, I can't imagine what you Chicago bloggers out there do.  But alas I still got a few really great pictures.  I have really been wanting to create a this or that post.   I created two looks from the same base outfit, a casual to dressy transition.  I started with a great Chanel like tweed tee and these denim and supply jeans and then layered two different jackets and pairs of shoes to create two looks.  Happy Hump Day!!

The Windiest Day Ever, No Really........

I finally was able to get out and take some pictures but not only was  it cold and it was windy!!!!  I decided on this outfit before I went outside and BOY was I not prepared for the cold wind that was waiting for me.   Ah well that will teach me to consult with Siri before picking out my outfit next time.  I hope you all had a great holiday season!  Anyone get anything fun?

Cute Little Crowns....

With New Years Eve rapidly approaching I am still on the fence about what I want to wear for my big night out on the town.  The past couple years I haven't done anything note worthy but this year I plan on getting all dolled up and going out to DANCE!!  I came across this very cute idea from A Subtle Revelry for these very cute very simple crowns.  They are so easy to make, all you need is floral wire, tinsel garland in the colors of your choice, and a glue gun.  What woman isn't still a princess at heart, right?
