Merry Christmas!!

12.24.2012

For the last several of years my family and I have decided to opt out of spending time with our families for the holidays, and instead we'll spend quality time with the four of us. So, for this Christmas this year we decided to visit Colorado again with some friends of ours to go skiing, since we enjoyed our first skiing experience. Here are some of the photos that I took on our ride up the mountain in Colorado:

Happy Hump Day Everyone! I hope you've had a good day and your week has been going just as well thus far. For me, today was very productive because my husband has been on vacation this week and we were able to get a lot of things done around our house, which will put us closer to getting our house ready to be put on the market. YEAH!!

So, for my outfit today I thought I would keep it simple be wearing a hot pink sweater, and I did something a little different by adding a splash of color in my scarf. For my jeans I chose a pair of wide leg dark denim jeans, brown pumps, my Louis Vuitton tote, and gold accessories.

Hot Pink Lips

Pink Lips Top Kirna Zabete via (Target), Black Skinny Jeans (Old Navy), Black Boots (Nine West), Watch Michael Kors via (Nordstrom), Chain Bracelets TheWayWeAre Shop via (ebay), Renegade Cluster Bracelet via (Stella & Dot), and Tote Louis Luitton Damier Geant Canvas via (Saks Fifth Avenue).

My outfit today was really fun putting together and wearing. While at Target, I saw this really fun Pink Lip Top hanging on one of their clearance racks, at first I thought this is definitely different and so not me, but decided to step outside the box and purchase it. Also, I noticed while looking at the top that it was from one of their designer collaborations, Kirna Zabete. So, I decided to pair my shirt with black skinny jeans, tall black jeans, my Louis Vuitton tote, and black and silver accessories.

When you a purchase a fun article of clothing (i.e. a shirt, skirt, or dress), how do you style yours?

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Caramel & Orange

For my outfit today I decided to wear an orange sweater I purchased at a Gap Outlet while in Maryland last week. When I saw the sweater I absolutely fell in love with its vibrant color and softness, so I knew I had to buy it. Although, I decided to wait until I returned home to style my sweater because I knew what I wanted to wear with it hadn't been packed during my trip. I chose a pair of carmel booties from Nine West I bought earlier this past spring because I knew they would look great with my sweater and H&M handbag. Finally, I completed my outfit my with a pair of bootcut J Brand Jeans, and gold accessories.
