Tweed on Repeat

jacket (Zara), pants (Alexander Wang), tee (unknown boutique find), heels (J.Crew on SALE 30% off), clutch (Kate Spade), shades (Gucci), bracelet (Stella & Dot), ring (Lagos)

Safe to say I totes love black & blue as a couple.  They just feel quite modern and crisp when paired together. Not to be outdone by another couple I adore, Tweed & Leather (other version HERE) is another fave combo of mine.  Needless to say, quite the happy gal when these two forces joined.  Care to see another way she's styled...check it HERE.  

Y'all make it a good one....headed to Florida next week so major prep taking place this weekend--traveling with two bunnies is not to be taken lightly!

Stylin' Stella.

all baubles (Stella & Dot)//blouse (J.Crew), jeans (J.Brand), ballets (Madewell)//sweater (J.Crew), jeans (J.Brand), chucks  (Converse)//dress (Tibi), heels (Michael Kors), clutch (DVF), sweater (Michael Kors), leggings (Paige), boots (Zara)

It's no secret that I am an avid fan of Stella & Dot gems.  I've sported them in many a post as a matter of fact (see HERE, HERE, & HERE).  I love the unique versatility of the pieces & how they add just the right touch to a rig.  With that in mind and the upcoming holiday season, I thought it was the perfect time to host a Stella & Dot Online Trunk Show.  I wanted the above collage to highlight the gem's ability to be worn casually, fancy, layered, or solo. So whether you're thinking something for mom, sis, MIL, SIL, BFF, or your lovely self, take a gander at the GEMS & let me know what you're pondering. 

PS--What's a little shopping without some incentive, right?  For those who spend $30 or more, you will be entered to win a Renegade Cluster Bracelet (one of my absolute, wear with everything, faves--see looks 1 & 2 above).  If you purchase the Renegade & win, you can choose something of equal or lesser value!  If y'all have any questions, please feel free to email me at seersuckerandsaddles@gmail.com.  Make it a good one, gang!

Sneak Peak

Care to see the rest?  Head over to Meg Biram's Blog and check out my first contributor post--needless to say, I'm quite excited for the opportunity!
Did y'all enter yesterday's Piperlime $100 Giveaway?  Hop on it...she ends this evening.  And finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't plug election day---get on out there!  I was up with the roosters at 6 in the morn getting my Vote On. Y'all make it a good one!

Casually Relaxed

leggings (Michael Kors), sweater (Zara), scarf & chambray (J.Crew), jacket (HM--similar), booties (Nine West), bag (Botkier), shades (Michael Kors),  ring (David Yurman), bracelet (Stella & Dot)

This rig pretty much sums up how I like to dress--casual, comfy, yet chic.  Why thank you Leather Leggings (faux)!  While the weather is continuing to dip, we can still get away with not pulling out the winter coats thanks to a healthy dose of layering.  Don't forget your denim vests, jackets, chambrays, etc--all serve as lovely additions!  

Stay tuned for some fun goodness next week--we'll kick it off with a Giveaway and then I'm beyond excited for my first contributing post on Meg Biram (formerly the Mimi + Meg blog).  Have you checked out Meg's new website?  This gal has a KILLER aesthetic--spot on!  Y'all make it a good one & enjoy your weekend!

Giveaway: So Clutch

dress (HM--see similar below), booties (Sam Edelman), clutch (Zara), bracelets (BaubleBar), spikes (Asos)


Hang with me today, gang...lots to cover--especially a GIVEAWAY!  Leather is ALL the RAGE this season..all of it...all over the stinkin' place!  I adore it for a plethora of reasons (see some fantastic pieces below).  It takes the simplest of cuts and adds such a fun dimension.  It also shapes the bod nicely and conceals any "areas."  It is terribly classic and will never go out of style--I still own a camel leather skirt that I had in college!  Let's take this frock for instance--first off, I must disclose, it's faux--but no one's the wiser.  It is just a simple sheath, but I can't help but feel a little extra special when wearing it, especially paired with a fun pop of a clutch.  Speaking of Clutches, how about we do a GIVEAWAY!!!!
I am seriously in LOVE with this House of Harlow clutch.  Talk about a fun little statement.  Orange truly is such an amazing splash, and can be a nice neutral as well.  Top it with a little croc, and voila, statement piece!

Got a little fall teaser this weekend with some mild temps--it was just a perfect excuse to break out this little number!  Yet another fall staple I think is a must--the Tweed Jacket.  I am just loving it dressed up and clearly dressed down.  So much so that I'm definitely thinking of snagging another one of these lovelies--check out some fun options below, y'all have a great start to the week:

Site Spotlight: Dorothy Perkins

Couldn't sleep worth a lick last night, gang...no better way to cure my insomnia than with a little online shopping soiree!  I've been clocking this UK online hotspot, Dorothy Perkins, for quite some time and did a major peruse last night. Remember Current Asos Loves?   Well Miss Dorothy delivers similar stylish, ladylike pieces for an insane price point.  The DP pieces showcased above (Dresses, Blouses, & skinnies) are all under, y'all ready for this....60 BONES!!!   I love myself a good mix of high and low and this indeed does the trick.  I took the liberty of pairing these Mrs. Perkins pieces and creating some rigs for y'all. 

My collage was getting a bit cramped so if I may add my own commentary to several of the looks.  How cute would the WHITE LACE DRESS look paired with either a leather jacket, cargo, or denim vest and the INSANELY precious Loeffler Randall dotted ballets (I am so obsessed with those flats)?  Speaking of the FLATS, a precious addition to the last two looks--I'm totally convinced we could get some major mileage outta these flats!!!  I'd also add This TWO TONED BELT to the last two looks as well.  Lots of intermixing with these pieces which is always a wonderful thing!  Take a gander at the pieces live below:
