Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas!  Here's to a time filled with family, fun, and festive cheer.  Being at home in Florida with my whole crew is so very special and I am soaking up every sun filled minute.  

A few thanks are in order.  A very special thanks to Matilda's & Cabana of Stuart for infusing some quintessential Palm Beach flair into this & my upcoming posts--the boutique is as darling as darling gets!  You immediately feel transported onto the Island the moment you step in the front door.  Not to mention the gals and the vibe are equally lovely.  Another thank you goes to Carley of Bourbon & Boweties for sending me the killer stone stackers featured above. She's another Florida gal with a passion for all things baubled--how can you not love that?  Last but not least, an enormous thank you to the insanely talented Lindsey Potter for capturing our hometown in the most beautiful way imaginable.  Alright gang, Have a Merry Merry!

Army vs Navy

jeans (Joe's Jeans, AJs Casuals c/o), jacket (HM), sweater (GAP), booties (Belle by Sigerson Morrison), necklace (Stella & Dot), ring (David Yurman), watch (Tag Heuer), bracelets (iSanctuary), shades (Michael Kors), bag (Aleya NY, Bloomingdales--old)

Fall did not disappoint here in the Bluegrass!!  Chilly temps this morning indeed, with a warmer spike in the afternoon.  With that being said, it is most important to layer, layer, layer.  This army surplus style jacket is perfect enough to add a little warmth and dimension to a rig be it girly, urban, or more rugged.  It will also serve as a nice neutralizer to some of the bright hues this season.  Check out some great options below.  

If I may switch gears & take a moment to discuss these ruggedly darling bangles. iSanctuary, whose tagline, "Purchase with a Purpose," provides rehabilitation options for survivors of human trafficking.  Simply stated, all of the jewelry is made, packaged, and processed by survivors.  I was engaged the moment I was made aware--beyond amazing what iSanctuary has and continues to accomplish.  You can't help but be inspired by this company's purpose. Make sure you take a gander & y'all enjoy this gorgeous start to my favorite season!

Easy Street

Black, white, and red all over!  At first glance, you may think this top couldn't be a versatile piece in your wardrobe...think again!  The pairings are numerous.....with yellow or blue skinnies. So darling with black leather shorts.  How about a black and white gingham print short or just regular denim skinnies?  The moral of the story, when deciding whether or not to purchase a piece, make sure she isn't a one hit wonder!!
