It's All In The Lapels

The easiest way to dress up an otherwise simple outfit is to throw on a blazer. Nothing is as transformative to jeans and a tee, or as wearable in nearly any situation. The shiny lapels and loose, comfortable fit of this one has made it my go-to as of late. You can't go wrong with Elizabeth & James.

Even with my love of skiing, I'm more than ready for spring clothing. Inspired by all the crop tops on the fall runways, I pulled out this quintessentially 90s sweater, which I think I bought in high school. Since silver seems to be the footwear color of choice at the moment, these high tops have quickly become my go-to sneaker after spending about a year in my closet. Hooray for flamboyant purchases that outlast their season.

In the Golden Age We Will Never Die

I love these pants. When I bought them I thought they might feel too Christmas-y to wear much past December, but a month after the holiday I am still constantly pulling them out of my closet. And more and more prints/stripes/geometric shapes are taking over the denim on the racks, so these seem like they'll stick around for a bit. Though I may need to work on shrinking them. 

Have a great weekend!

It's a Wonderful Life!

 After some last minute shopping, baking, and packing, the weekend is finally here. Later today, I'm picking up a special someone from the airport whom I can't wait to see, and then tomorrow I'm off to Christmas with the family. Life certainly is wonderful at the moment! How are you spending the holiday if you celebrate it? I'd love to hear your plans! 

Have a fabulous weekend, and a very Merry Christmas!!

Real Straight Talk

I've recently become obsessed with the idea of blue suede pumps. After searching through my usual suspects, including J. Crew and Nordstrom, I came across this pair. They were still full price at the time though, and I already had them in black leather. I'm certainly not opposed to buying more than one color of something I love, but paying a large amount for what would likely fall out of use much sooner than its more classic counterpart seemed silly. But then the shoes went on sale, and directly into my wardrobe. Their complimentary qualities when paired with gold brocade only gave them bonus points.

I love Denver, and finally being back here after a month in the midwest. However, I was sad to leave the beautiful fall foliage behind. Wisconsin is absolutely gorgeous right now, and kind of looks like these pants, only with more pink. The pink is my favorite.
