Lovely Leopard Spots!

Target's Sam & Libby Dixie Pumps- Dusty Brown

While shopping at a local Target I ran across these lovely leopard print pumps.  They were the only pair left in my size, so I snatched them up quick.  They run a little big, so when I got home I went online and I ordered a half size down and returned the larger size when the new pair arrived.   I love this shoe!

You may have luck finding them at your local Target, but in case you do not, they are currently on sale on Target's website.  The are marked down from $39.99 to $27.98, with an extra 10% discount when you use Target's discount code.

Happy Shopping!

Oversized Faux Fur!

 My latest purchase and I can't wait until it arrives!  I know it will be a while before the weather gets cooler here to be able to wear this out, but there's nothing wrong with planning ahead!

My latest purchase!  I think that they are CUTE!

Outfit Of The Day! (OOTD)

Although it's spring, we are having a bit of cooler weather this week.  Yesterday's high was 52 degrees, which is not the norm for us this time of year, but knowing that the hotter days are just around the corner (and having experienced a few hot days last week), we'll enjoy every bit of the cooler weather we can get!

On our way downtown to see a movie, I decided to snap my boo's outfit of the day (OOTD).

The Look:  T-shirt - Gap

                  Jeans - Seven For All Mankind

                  Boots - Tommy Hilfiger

                  Cardigan - Repair Denim

As the day progressed he liked the rolled up jean look better!

How to spend a rainy day away?  On-line shopping of course!   My new casual sandal purchase.

BCBGeneration "Jakalyn"

My most recent shoe purchase!  BCBGeneration "Jakalyn".  I love them.  This shoe's heel height is about four inches.  The upper is leather and synthetic.

I can not wait until the weather warms up to wear these.    

What I Wore! White, Burgundy & Gray!

Excuses are the tools...thus I won't make any, but I will extend an apology to my readers for taking so long to create a new post.  I apologize to you...

What I wore:  Prior to this day, I typically would try to pair an off white dress with matching tights and a neutral colored shoe, but not this day...I wanted color!  My colors of choice were gray and burgundy. I eagerly pulled out my newest find, Sam Edelman "Kit" boot, to pair with my charcoal gray tights to complete this ensemble.

Little Black Sweater Dress!

Jessica Simpson Sweater Dress

I wake up to cooler temperatures in the morning now here in Texas, but it still gets a bit warm by noon, so I haven't been able to wear any fall outfits as of yet (sad face).  However, I found this little number to wear with my Sam Edelman "Sutton" over the knee boots last fall and can't wait to bring it out to play!   I love my Jessica Simpson Sleeveless Button Down Sweater Dress in black!

Although I purchased it last year, you can find it here in a size medium on Ebay!

Faux Real Finds!

Okay, I've been on the hunt for faux leather leggings and have been able to find two different styles at my local TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores.  My first pair is a faux leather trimmed legging by Philosophy Clothing Republic and the other is a faux leather legging by Will Smith.  I tried on and purchased the pair because (1) I loved the way they fit and (2) they only had these in my size left in the store!  I'm not one for ordering clothes on-line because I'm terrible when it comes to returning items if I don't like the fit; however, I did find a few leggings on-line that may make me want to chance it!

1...2...3...Purge!

My closet is like any other closet in that it is filled with clothes, shoes, handbags and accessories! However, recently my closet has become too dense with all these items for my liking.  I have so much stuff that I'm literally having a hard time finding room to make everything fit and sometimes can't find a particular item that I'm looking for because I can't readily see it among the mass.  I sometimes feel as if  I'm looking for a needle in a haystack when searching for some pieces to wear.

So, in an effort to relieve myself (and my DH) of this dilemma, I decided to begin the process of purging my closet. I purchased the hangers above at Ross (I believe $8.99 for 18)  because not only do I want to purge my closet, I also want to improve the presentation of my clothes.  The idea I have is to make it look like a little boutique, thus I will also purchase other items to organize  and decorate my closet as well.

London Times Keyhole Neck Blouson Maxi Dress

Found this beauty at Ross!  It was the only one left in the store and thus I had to have it. Didn't have time to put it on and take pics, so I thought I'd share in case you may want to visit your local Ross store and get your shop on!  

I can't wait for the opportunity to wear this dress and take pics!  When I do, I'll be sure to create a new post to share.

What "We" Wore!

I've included my DH in this post, because I love his sense of style and hopefully you will too!  Had to give him a kiss before we started, because he is so supportive in helping me with my many projects including this one.  Love you boo!

Kimono Top - White House Black Market/ Skirt - Ellen Tracy/ Shoes - Chinese Laundry

Visited a local thrift store and picked up this beautiful Kimono White House Black Market top for $8!  I also picked up the ring and bracelet.  I love to find good deals and I scored big this day!

Suit - Joseph Abboud Custom Made/ Shirt - Calibrate Slim Fit/ Shoes - Magnanni

DH is wearing a Joseph Abboud custom made suit.  He is also wearing a Calibrate dress shirt that features a slim fit throughout, and is distinguished with a classic gingham pattern in pink. He completes his look wearing a white silk pocket square and Magnanni "Santiago" Cap Toe Oxfords in cognac. The shirt and shoes can be purchased at Nordstrom.  BTW, Nordstrom is currently having its men's half yearly sale!

Now that my DH has gotten use to being photographed, my blog will include a section for men's fashion.  

Closing this entry with lots of love!  Thanks for stopping by and for reading. 

What I Wore - Boca Raton

Armani Exchange Sweater T-shirt/ MODA International White Sweater Pants

I know, better late than never and I am so late, but anyhow, here is what I wore on day two of our trip.   For breakfast we dined outdoors.  That morning started off a bit chilly, so I opted for my Armani Exchange sweater t-shirt and a pair of light weight sweater pants.  

Repair Denim Cardigan/ Nautica Jeans/ Gap T-Shirt/ Guess Leather Skate Shoes

It began to warm up quite a bit by mid morning, thus we changed into much lighter clothes (swimwear) before heading to the beach.

Upon returning from the beach we rested a bit before heading out to dinner at the resort's Sea Grille.

Dinner at Sea Grille

For starters we had their Thinly Crisped Lobster Bites with sour orange cocktail and mustard sauce.  For our main dish we ordered their Banana Leaf Baked Black Cod.  The fish was miso glazed and served with edamame and bok choy.  Each bite of the fish just melted into our mouths.  I must find a recipe to recreate this dish at home.  I know it will be family favorite!

You can't see it in the images, but we dined next a window overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Dress W118 by Walter Baker

I rocked two strands twists that evening.  See, you CAN rock this style and be stylish!

The day we were to leave we learned that the city was expected to receive thunderstorms and lots of rain.  We were so thankful that the weather was nothing short of just beautiful our entire stay!  We enjoyed our stay and our much needed time together.

What I Wore! Maxi Dress

Wow, time goes by so fast!  There are times/days when I wished there were more hours in the day!
Well, as promised, here are images of the Calypso Christiane Celle Maxi dress I wore in Boca Raton.  On this day the images were taken, I just arrived home from church.  This time instead of wearing my strands in twists, I opted for a twist-out.

The dress is of white linen with silk trimming along the neckline, sleeves and hemline.  

Maxi Dress:  Calypso Christiane Celle

Sandals:  Chinese Laundry

Ring:  Thrifted

Bracelet:  Thrifted

Boca Raton Part I

A Waldorf Astoria Resort Boca Raton

I've taken so many pictures that it was hard to narrow down which ones to share, so I'm breaking this post into two parts.

Kickin' It!

Xhilaration® Susie Flat High-Top Sneaker

Saw these in Target and had to have them!  I purchased them at one location for $24.99 then saw them the next day for $17.88 at another location and yes, I did return them and repurchased them for the lower price!

You can purchase them on-line on Target's webpage here.  Although it says that the shoe is not in stores, I did purchase mine there and they are also available in tan.

What I Wore - Happy in Mulberry!

I mentioned in my last post that I would be experimenting with colors this winter.  So, I took the plunge and decided to take on wearing these Hue "Mulberry" tights.  Normally, I would wear black tights with my black sweater dress, but I must say, I loved this look.  I feel happy, energized and youthful wearing this color!

• Black Wool Coat - Barneys New York
• Black Sweater Dress - Connected
• Bootie - Guess Gwalade

Also, I've been doing Jilian Michael's 30 day shred.  I completed day 5 of level two (day 15) and going strong.  The images above were taken on 1/6/2013 (7 days in).  I can't wait to share with you my progress images on day 30!

Now that I've taken the step to include bold colors in my looks, I'm even more eager to try other colors, especially since the "shedding" has begun!

BTW, here is a link to the Guess bootie (brown).  You can also find them sold on Ebay.
