Bow Peep

Coat:  Forever 21 (old, similar here ~ under $100!), Skirt:  Bebe (a wardrobe staple!!!), Sweater J.Crew ~ almost sold out (simlar here for $25!!), Shirt:  Madewell (similar), Bag:  Rebecca Minkoff, Shoes:  J.Crew (old, great alternative here), Earrings:  Kate Spade, Watch:  DKNY (similar), Nails:  Essie "Glamour Purse"

It's certainly no secret that I'm a huge fan of bows, and often display them not only in my clothing but in my accessories too.  So when I saw these adorable Kate Spade earrings at Nordstrom, I just couldn't resist adding them to my collection.  They add such a feminine classic touch!

Lady in Red

Coat:  Tulle (old, similar here), Top:  H&M (similar here), Jeans:  Forever 21 (similar here), Bag:  J.Crew (old, similar here), Shoes:  Christian Louboutin (budget-friendly version here), Belt:  Forever 21 (similar), Nails:  Butter "Royal Navy"

Back to the daily grind ~ at least it's already Wednesday!  And no, I did not wear this to work today, but I woke up wayyyyy too late to snap a picture so here's one from the archives.

Holiday Dressing: Christmas Party

 Dress:  Amanda Uprichard (old, this year's version here), Coat:  French Connection (very old,LOVE this similar Club Monaco version), Shoes:  Christian Louboutin (budget-friendly option here under $50!!), Earrings:  Chico's (similar here), Bag:  J.Crew (old, similar here)

This past weekend, my husband and I attended a Christmas party for a service organization which he is a part of.  I knew going into it that we would be the youngest attendees so I definitely wanted to don a more simple/sophisticated look.

I wore this dress last year on Christmas Eve.

Rule #2:  Wear your HIGHEST heels.

"You put on high heels and you change." - Manolo Blahnik

Couldn't agree more ~ there is something about heels that instantly transforms me.  I go from feeling ordinary to feeling extraordinary.


'Tis the season to wear RED!!! 

My Best Accessory

Jacket:  Zara (old, similar here only $39.99!!), Sweater:  Forever 21 (loving this one), Pants:  AG via Anthropologie, Shoes:  Classiques Entier via Nordstrom, Clutch:  J.Crew (old, similar here only $27!!!)

My best accessory isn't a pair of heels...

...or my favorite leopard clutch.

It's not my faux leather jacket....

...or even my wedding rings.

My best accessory is my adorable niece!

Just look at that face!

Have a wonderful weekend!
