Golden Globes: Red Carpet {almost} Hits.
I didn't watch the red carpet or the Golden Globes {I was busy organizing my crafty space!} but I did manage to check out the photos after the fact. And I must say, I was disappointed. A lot of the dresses didn't seem to fit well, the color wasn't flattering, or it was just a very tired style.
However, I found six lovely ladies who hit the mark... or at least got close to it. {IMO}
Maria Menonous. Not many people could pull off such a bright yellow, sequined dress. But she nails it and she kept it classy with a very Breakfast at Tiffany's inspired updo.
Kate Beckinsale. Nude was a hot trend this year and not many got it right, but I think there are few things that don't look good on this woman. Gorgeous.
Heidi Klum. So, I don't love this dress. It fits ok, it's kind of boring, could easily blend in the background... but her accessorizing is spot on. The turquoise statement necklace is fabulous. She looks youthful.
Reese Witherspoon. I like this. Again, don't love it. But I like her in red and strapless... but I really wish the top fit better. And as much as I love messy hair... I think hers could have been done better.
Julie Bowen. I LOVE this dress. I don't like it on her. Had she had a session or two with a spray tan, I think this would been perfect. But the color matches her skin, it washes her out. However, I do love the retro curls with this gown.
Jenna Dewan. MY. FAVORITE. She looks beautiful. Perfectly accessorized, sexy silhouette, gorgeous shade of jade green...stunning.
Whose dresses did you love? Hate?
Have a fabulous Monday, lovers.
Love always.

The Hart {er, Bilson} of Dixie.
Have you watched that show??
CW, Monday nights, city girl gone country... ringing a bell??
No? Well, it stars Rachel Bilson - and it's a decent show but nothing I'm completely into. However, it has sparked a reinterest {yes, I know that isn't a word - but it is now.} in this Hollywood Fashionista.
I'm not a huge fan of her acting, I'll be honest. I wasn't an OC fan {I know! The horror! *gasp*}. I'm not really into any movies she has been in, BUT the girl can dress.
And no, I don't think she is dressed by a stylist. I think she actually has style. Plus, she's gorgeous.
Have a looksie yourself...

What do ya think? She just has a real ease about her style. I can appreciate that.
Happy Thursday!
Love always.

Flats for a cause.
In the past I've tried to get down with Tom's, it's such a good cause and I wanted to support it {if you don't know their cause click here}. I've heard they are uber comfortable but I just never liked the look of them on my foot.
BUT these flats... now that's something I can wear. I love wearing flats with leggings and skinny jeans. So when Spring '12 rolls around, you can bet I'll be rocking these bad boys.
Happy hump day, kiddos!
Love always.

Cozy and casual.
Guys, it's getting cold out. I have a severe disdain for what the cold brings. {snow! *gasp* *cry*} And due to this extreme chill in the air every morning when I wake up I reallyyyyyy don't want to get out of bed. I'm all snuggled in a warm slumber - seriously, who wants to leave that?!
Not. This. Girl.
BUT - with the cold comes new style opportunities {always have to find the good things, right? ;-)}.
So, when I finally pull myself out of bed all I want to do is throw on a cozy sweater, leggings, and boots. The more snuggly I can be in the morning, the better.
Here are a few of my favorite looks..

She's at it again. Bananas.
Rachel Zoe has done it again - not only is she a flawless stylist, a glowing new mother, but she's also now making quite a name for herself as a fashion designer. No one knows fashion and fit like this woman does. Her first two collections were spot on, inspired by Parisian glamour and London street style. And her latest collection for Resort '12 is nothing short of amazing. The collection is very bohemian chic; pulling inspiration from the 60s and 70s - bo-ho mixed with the perfect amount of edge.
The long flowy dresses make me long for white sand beaches, clear waters, and a vacation just oozing with ease and elegance. Um, yes please.

I love this look. I can't wait to translate it into everyday wear for my own wardrobe.
This gorgeous long sleeved dress is one of my favorites. I want.
This is my favorite. So clean, fresh, and edgy. I. Die.
I will absolutely be rocking this look this fall. Cozy, classy, easy.
What's your favorite piece? Are you a Rachel Zoe fan?
Happy Monday, Dolls.
Love always.

This is from the Tiffany's Leather Fall Collection and I'm dying.

What I wore: Clothes Swap
Every couple months my friends and I gather for a clothing swap. It's this fabulous party where we are encouraged to clean out our closets, bring them to Amy's house, dump them all in a huge pile on the floor, and once someone says go... YOU DIG!
It's so much fun - the ladies go crazy trying on clothes, styling each other, giggling when someone tries to take the actual clothes off your back, sipping on wine, and just having a fun girls night of shopping. {FOR FREE!}

Cardigan: Old Navy. Tshirt: Middle West Spirits. Skirt: Swapped. Flats: Target. Earrings: on a beach in FL.
This is how it began...
and it grew...
and grew...
and this is the final pile! So many cute clothes!
Amy and I.
The dig began!
All the girls!
Amy, Tammi, and I.
Want to see what I scored at this clothing swap?! {Duh, of course you do!}
Well stay tuned and I'll share my finds with you and how I plan on wearing them!
Happy hump day, kids!
Love Always.
p.s. You all should get your friends together and make time for a clothing swap - they're a lot of fun! And if you're in the cbus area - you should join US in our next one!!

Ready! Set! It's fall wardrobe time...
As I'm sitting here listening to the rain and feeling the cool air roll in, I'm inspired. It's time to clean out the closet. It's time to start thinking about our fall wardrobes. And nothing excites me more than to start a new season full of new ensemble opportunities.
Yes, ideally I would love to run out and restock my closet with clothes that are out right now and just get rid of everything I have. But - that's not very realistic. {Unless you're a celeb - then more power to ya!} I don't think my bank account would appreciate that, at all. So in which case I have learned how to use pieces I have worn all summer {white dress, jeggings, plaid shirt, heels, and flats} and work them into my fall wardrobe. With ideas like these you don't have to spend a lot to update your closet; just search for key pieces such as flare jeans, mustard cardigan, and a slouchy sweater. These items will last you throughout the fall/winter season. So they are good investment pieces. This is easy with a little guidance and your wallet will thank you!
1. Flare/Bell bottom jeans - I paired the flares with a plaid shirt {we all should have one, or something similar.}. A pair of wedges {or heels} that I've been wearing all summer. The wedge helps elongate the leg in these jeans, with a pair of flats they could become overwhelming to the body. I added a leopard print belt because I like the mix of patterns, it keeps the outfit interesting. A big, bright necklace and a simple gold bangle dresses it up. Grab a neutral bag and you are ready.
2. Mustard Cardigan - This is a piece that will be far more versatile than you initially thought. Mustard is becoming a new neutral. There isn't much it doesn't look good with and it compliments many skin tones. So don't be afraid of it; embrace it. I paired it with a white summer dress {yep, that's right - you CAN wear white after labor day}, slouchy boots, a purple scarf - I like the color combination, a large cocktail ring, and a small tribal bag that pulls all the colors together. It's easy to wear more than one color as long as you keep the proportions smaller and have one piece that brings them together.
3. Neutral Slouchy Sweater - I love this item. It's a top I think I will wear over and over again. You can throw this on with a skirt, over a dress, with a pair of shorts, leggings, jeggings, etc. This will become to the go-to for me. In this instance, I put it with a pair of dark jeggings {leggings and skinny jeans will work for this look too}, leopard print flats {I love adding a splash of leopard to anything I can, if you can't tell ;)}, stud earrings, a simple necklace, and a bright bag. The mix of neutral colors makes this a very versatile outfit. It can easily be worn to run errands during the day then out for the night.
Well kids, there you have it. Round 1 of my fall wardrobe suggestions... NOW it's time for me to go tackle my closet... EEEEEK! {If I don't return in a few days... send a search party please!}
Hope y'all have a fabulous short week!
Love always.
