Distressed Frills

 sweater (French Connection c/o), denim (GAP see similar HERE), heels (Zara see similar ON SALE HERE & HERE ), bag (Clare Vivier  ), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), watch (Daniel Wellington), shades (Gucci)

So this SWEATER is crazy feminine with it's frills and ruffles which is why she's the perfect match for a pair of Distressed Boyfriends.  All about balance---little bit of girly with a little bit of tomboy.  The frills also make for a perfect Vday outfit--cute and casual while still being somewhat festive.  In the Vday spirit yet?  Make sure to check out last week's POST WITH FRENCH CONNECTION and be sure to enter their Vday Contest for a chance to win a very handsome shopping spree!  

Alright gang, cheers to a wonderful start to your week...we've got a chilly one here in the Bluegrass!  Make it a good one.

The Fair Mix

A very belated Happy New Year, gang!  Just now getting back into the states after a phenomenal getaway to Uruguay and Argentina.  To say the trip was incredible would be quite the understatement---full of culture and an undeniable energy--it was magical!

So after a little hiatus, I hear I'm in for quite the winter treat upon getting back into Lex (I'm about to board my flight in ATL and can already feel the chill from within the airport)---ugh--sister ain't ready for it at all!  My skin is going to revolt I just know it.  Hang in there with me as I get myself situated and organized for the new year---I'll have some regular posts coming our way from here on out. Real quick tidbit on the rig, this Fair Isle from Old Navy is on crazy good sale under $20!!  With an upcoming trip to Sundance, I'm still on the hunt for affordable knits and this one is a goodin. Alright gang, about to board---cheers to a good evening and STAY BUNDLED!

Poncho Love

poncho (Julie Brown c/o), leggings ( SPANX see similar HERE & HERE), bag (Clare Viver, love this NAVY version, Clutch Version), flats (Loeffler Randall), rings (Shine on Vine, Anna Beck), watch (Daniel Wellington c/o)

This is my first rodeo with a PONCHO and I have to say I'm hooked.  They're super cozy and have a knack for slenderizing ya down on the bottom half because there's so much volume up top.  I did a little browsing and found some other ponchos I'd like to add to the collection (Exhibit A, Exhibit B)--feel free to peruse below.  Alright gang, taking the bunnies to the beach--soaking up our last few days of this gorgeous weather!  Y'all make it a good one!

Every Which Way

leggings (Tuckernuck c/o how cute are these CAMO's), coat (J.Crew), sweater (French Connection ON SALE), handbag (Clare Vivier), gloves (Target see SIMILAR), beanie (Similar), shades (Bloomingdales), sneaks (Converse)

So here's how I make a Beanie look less adolescent on me---pair it with a tailored Coat and a classically shaped Handbag and voila...grunge is balanced by some classic pieces!  I adore a good beanie...so much so I've plucked a few I'm loving below.  I am also adoring these Leggings from Tuckernuck --the tuxedo stripe adds just the right graphic vibe I've come to love (ps--how cute would these Camos look with an oversized Chambray and white Chucks).  Alright gang, feel free to shop some cozy beanies below---y'all enjoy your Thursday--make it a good one!
