The Boot






boots (SOREL )


While you may think it’s a bit premature to be sporting a winter boot already, I felt obligated to get you all ahead of the game because when I went to snag this beautiful lovely last winter, it was next to impossible to locate a pair—Sold. Out. Everywhere.  And so, if you all are looking for winter wish list items, I HIGHLY recommend you hop on a pair of  SORELs stat.  They’re modern and refined and most importantly, keep my pigs as warm and stylish looking as ever through the treacherous winter months.  I find there is no boot that balances beauty and function better than my SORELs.  So much so that I opted to add the above pair to my arsenal--how great are the aqua laces?   
Wanna show your SORELstyle?  Share your back to campus look with #SORELstyleContest on Instagram or Twitter and you could win a trip to New York for teenVogue’s Fashion University or one of ten $250 shopping sprees and SOREL boots. 
Alright gang, cheers to a lovely start to your week—let’s make it a good one!

Seminole Style--It's Laidback







plaid (Paige c/o), denim (Paige c/o), sneaks (Vans), bag (Michael Kors SIMILAR), shades (Gucci), cuff (Page Sargisson c/o), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck)

I have to say, I went back to Tallahassee several weeks ago for the FSU/Clemson game (which was an insane nail biter) and while the gals all dolled up for gameday were terribly cute--I just couldn't do it.  I need a little Sneak Action in my life come gameday and DENIM . Lots and lots of denim.  Paige has forever been one of my favs (see HEREHERE, & HERE) and THESE EDGEMONTS are no exception.  Suckers hug in all the right places and are super comfy to boot.  
Make sure to check out my gals, KristinCathy, & Lacey to see how they styled their Paige's.

It Bears Repeating







skirt (Express similar to my Houndstooth Coat), blazer (Theory c/o Saks Cincinnati check out this similar STEAL ), blouse (Theory), bag (Rebecca Minkoff), heels (Manolo Blahnik c/o Saks Cincinnati), shades (Gucci), necklace (Page Sargisson c/o), rings (Anna Beck, Lagos)

And by "It" I really mean "They" as clearly I'm having a thing for this BlazerBlouse, and Bag.  Essentially, this look is pretty much a dressier replica of THIS don't you think?  But when you find something that works, just run with it--don't reinvent the wheel. And right now, my wheel is black and white with a pop of color.  Oh and ps, how great is this "Leather" Vest Version of the blazer above?  May just need to add this bad boy to the line up.  Shop it and this look below.  You all enjoy your Wednesday---make it a good one!
