Leather jackets are a must have fall item. You can dress them up or down and they always go with chambray. My jacket has a special High Heel Hydrangeas meaning behind it because it was one of my first shopping excursions with Katie. She had just moved up to Chicago and we went shopping on Michigan Avenue where she wanted to take me to this really cool store that she had been to with her mom the weekend before (we shop a lot okay?). All she could remember were the sewing machines in the window and so we went off on a mission to find the largest All Saints I have ever been in, and my first (definitely not last) time in one. We spent about 2 hours combing through the store in love with every item we picked up and appalled at the price of real leather. Katie even bought an amazing dress that I will force her to post after this. Just as we were about to leave we spotted this jacket 70% off and I started to hum and haw over spending what was still a fortune on a jacket. At this point Katie … [Read more...]

Henley and Jeans
My husband's winter wardrobe is FULL of henleys! He must be starting to rub off on me, because I found myself looking for a cute one to wear this year! I ended up finding this one at Abercrombie of all places. One of my girlfriends told me last year that they were re-branding and had a bunch of really cute clothes that were more appropriate for adults, and she was right! They always have sales too, which makes it easy to get a lot of different looks without breaking the bank! I snagged this henley when it was on sale, and only $15! I love the seam down the back, and the high cut of the shirt on the sides. It's also incredibly soft. Needless to say, I think this was a great purchase!

The Leopard Flat
I think the best way to wear all black is with a pop. I usually add a pop of color in my purse or a scarf but I also think it’s the perfect way to do leopard tastefully. Adding a small bit of leopard pattern to a monochrome outfit makes the leopard pop and the outfit a little bit more fun. I opted for all black, which I don’t think comes as a surprise. My oversized comfy sweater goes perfectly with the paired down look I’m going for. I don’t typically do flats because I’m only 5’3” and I think I need the heels to elongate my curves but for some reason I was feeling them today, so I’m going with it! I like to think it’s because I found the perfect pair of flats for my taste. My problems with flats are: I’m short and curvy, so I need height to make me look thinner. I fixed this with tight jeans and a sweater that accents my thinner collarbone. I think my feet look enormous in flats. I wear a 7.5 which is average but for some reason every pair of flats I try on makes me feel like … [Read more...]
