Feeling Lucky.

Every winter season all of us stylish ladies are faced with the challenge of finding the perfect boots. One would think this to be a relatively easy task, but in my opinion we've gotten far too many choices, making it hard to narrow down. Let alone pick that one perfect all occasion boot to get us through the season! Maybe I can help you on your hunt, because I think I've found my perfect boot this year. Behold the Seychelles 'Lucky Penny.' A classic ankle boot with a dolphin top, barely there heel and double sided zipper. Not to mention these puppies are extremely comfortable and come in 6 colors. So no complaining you've been looking everywhere for black! or red! or blue!

Mixed Knits.

Chunky knits are an obvious choice when establishing our fall wardrobes. They work so well because layered together they add definition to an outfit even when it's a simple.Here is the perfect on the go look, featuring an open knit sweater, chunky snood and faux fur tote. These are all basic cool weather essentials that keep us comfortable and warm during bitter days. Mix these basics together and you have a complete, textured look.

To a Tee: Take Two.

Another look making use of a great basic tee, a simple linen top is a wardrobe essential. They're great for layering and classing looks up, because they have a clean and smooth drape. White tee, skinny jean and a blazer. These are all basics every woman should own so this minimalistic look is easy to accomplish.

Dinos, Desert & Dolce Vitas

More than thrilled to have kicked off the new year with a visit from my momma, and a fun girl's weekend getaway. We drove the two hours to Palm Springs for a friend's wedding and got to go on a few mini adventures a long the way, not to be confused with Pee Wee's Big Adventure. It was the perfect relaxing weekend, giving me an escape from reality before heading back to school and work!

Trendy to Try: Rock a long cardigan with skinny jeans and a heel to help lengthen your look from head to toe!

Print Pants.

This gorgeous Louis Vuitton bag was an extremely generous gift from Andrew's mom; she has been accumulating a collection of Louie's for years. After finally getting enough nerve to carry this beauty out of the house (it's probably the most luxurious thing I've ever touched), I've realized it is the perfect bag. Great size, perfect handle length, will go with everything! Thanks so much Pukka!

In other news: I've really been enjoying my role as a visual merchandiser, there is so much creativity that goes behind each display, and I know it's really gearing me up to be a stylist! The stores owner, Irene, is a believer in fast fashion, so I've been trying to control my spending, when new merchandise hits the floor, EVERY other DAY! I did splurge and buy these awesome floral print jeans. I'll be honest, I'm obsessed and if they weren't so memorable I would probably wear them everyday!
