I have been lusting after this Markus Lupfer sequin lobster sweater for far too long. Too long as in, it’s actually one of my first pins on my Pinterest. When I randomly came across these gold sequin anchor patches recently, I realized I could easily make my own version of the cardigan… for approximately $485 less. And I have hardly taken it off since.

Also, when did navy blue and pink begin to go so well together?

Back to the grind everyone! After the cheer of Christmas is over, I find it hard to keep up motivation before spring comes around again. That goes for a few things, but most of all, for dressing. Working in a particularly chilly office with a casual dress code, it’s easy to slip into the trap of jeans, cardigans, and [forgive me] Uggs on a daily basis. My goal for January is to take advantage of tights, cute but not too casual sweaters, and warm riding boots [not pictured...].

How are you planing to stay warm, but chic, throughout the rest of the winter months?

Of Wolves and Knits

I’m still a teensy bit obsessed with pretty much any and all clothes // accessories sporting animal motifs. And while none of these knits are obviously holiday-themed, they all just seem so appropriate for this time of year. Pair a warm animal-printed jumper with leggings, boots, and hot chocolate, and you’ve got yourself a perfect winter wonderland look.

And while we’re on the subject of cozy knits, can we talk about the never-ending selection of knitware from online retailer Warehouse? I want to curl up in these jumpers and cardigans and not come out until it has reached at least 60 degrees again. Crushing on these gold buttons, striped sleeves, and fairisle.

Peter Pan

I have just loved the peter pan collar trend that’s been gaining traction over the last year, but have always been too shy to try it– until I received this dainty little one from Sincerely Sweet Boutique. It was just the right amount of statement and fit easily with this oversized knit, and had a vintage feel without being too in-your-face, or little girl-ish. I also love their Timeless Addendum and Austen Society Lace Trim Vintage Collars– such sweet little touches to add to outfits!

Cozy Side of Fall

FINALLY linking up with {av} at long distance loving for a Friday’s Fancies! This week’s theme is the cozy side of fall. Now I haven’t tried this skirt on, but for some reason I just get the feeling that it actually is really comfortable… has anyone tried it IRL and can confirm? If it’s not, oops…

Cozy Side of Fall

Leather Bow Clip, American Apparel, $16
Chain Channel Pullover, Anthropologie, $98
Petal to the Metal Clutch, Marc Jacobs, $278
Sequinned Miniskirt, Zara, $129
Minnetonka Triple Fringe Boot, Urban Outfitters, $90

Either way, I am lusting over it. Any of you seen a version under $130 yet?? Or is a good sequin skirt this season going to be a bank breaker?

And oh man, those MJ Petal to the Metal bags. Still loving them after all this time and still can’t afford them.

I cannot believe today is the first day of fall. I’ve been dreading it for some reason this year (maybe since it’s the first fall I’m not back at school?), but today I’ve decided to embrace it fully. Bring on the pumpkins, cider, costumes, hayrides, and leaves. I’m ready for you now autumn, no turning back.

Ballerina Fall

Maybe it’s the dancer in me, but I am feeling so inspired by J.Crew’s September catalogue…

Tutus and sweaters? Yes please. Reminds me of my days backstage, covering up our costumes with layers to keep warm in the freezing air conditioning!

Here’s a set I’m looking forward to putting together once the air gets a little cooler. One of J Crew’s classic new Fisherman Sweaters, a tutu skirt from F21 (I’ve also had great luck with these at H&M and Free People), and a little sparkle to show off the ballerina in you… love me some glitter flats any day!
