Gold Rush.


This gold box top I got last December from H&M and wore it for Christmas with some thigh high Dolce Vita boots. Here it is a year later and I love it even more its so easy, comfy and light. Gold went nice with the navy lace shorts.. Jeffrey Campbell "Galeo" lace ups were a steal..sooo on sale at UO Santana Row a few weeks ago. I always find the greatest deals there..Holidays are approaching and can't wait to dress up in some guilt free things I treated myself to, thanks to a Hollerday bonus.

Eye Love.

Just copped some eye wear off my new fave site SMV. I guess you can say they are the knock offs  for retrosuperfuture's "lucia"... This style seems like a round lennon like lens topped with a cat eye wayfarer..Eye wear these days are inspired or recreated from vintage styles.. Right now the trend seems to be drawn to the 60's. I am really loving 60's inspired shades, thick frames, cat eyes, circle/round lenses, and of course the long lived wayfarer. Although the wayfarer was introduced in the 50's, it became very popular in the 60's..I can't wait to try these out!

Fall Frock.


Took advantage of the leaf blowers not doing their duty. I opened the front door yesterday delighted, by all the orange and yellow. I thought this print would picture nicely with the mess of leaves.. I found this mu mu frocky thingy in the sleepwear section at Ross! and for $5! I loved the colors and print. Took a chance and paired it with these Chelsea Crew clog boots I got month ago from http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Stella-Says-Go/247839262432
They had 30% off all their boots, so I got them really cheap! But the boots worked well with the frock to my surprise!

Velvet&Fringe



Some of my current obsessions at the moment..velvet and fringe. fur too. Pardon the weak camera phone pics taken by my sweet son. It's so hard for me to take blog pics on the weekdays since its so dark when I get home from work..but today I was off early and it was a race with the sun to get some pics.
I love the color scheme of this printed velvet scarf , found at Loehmann's today. I saw this beautiful top on pixiemarket.com  and fell in love with this http://www.pixiemarket.com/store/crossnecklace-p-2501.html which inspired me to buy this scarf. It was the reddish burgundy tones with velvet..The Vivienne Tam leggings I scored for $10 at Loehmann's as well..love that place!

Polka Dot Spot.





So sad this long weekend is finally coming to an end.. I did get a chance to dabble into some Black Friday deals..got in on the 50 off at UO and Gap, Gap for my son and husband. I splurged a little on this cropped ribbed sweater, but after all the deals I didn't feel badly about it. I am crazy over tights and having fun collecting different colors and styles..currently these polka dots ones and the burgundy are my fave and need some in a teeny polka dot too!
I sold clothes at Crossroads today and did amazingly well considering I didn't have much Fall  stuff to sell.. I found a unworn long fringe hooded sweater I am thrilled over and itching to wear but too bad its back to work tomorrow and back into boring scrubs!  Till the weekend!

Twelve By Twelve Wants.



Twelve By Twelve, F21 never really did it for me ever since they came out. The line always seemed
like it was a little over the top for me.
Today I discovered 3 things on the site that I adore. Okay so the poodle fur is different but fur is in! And I love love the color.
Velvet.. haven't wore velvet since I was a kid..I had these green velvet stirrup leggings, gross I know..But black crushed velvet can be simple and a little edgy at the same time.
Last this Braided Cardi is perfect for everyday wear.

Sweet November.

November has a lot of wonderful things to celebrate.. our wedding anniversary and this..Here with my boys, dressed up for my Grandma's big  93rd. What a blessing isn't it? It was my husband's 30ish birthday as well, and we celebrated the night before. Thankful for the most amazing husband and to still have my Grandma here 93 years strong.

Im in love with this fox fur scarf and can see myself a lot this season. It can give any outfit chic elegance. Dress is Love21 and I was so satisfied how the paisley, chiffon and fur blended together beautifully!
