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!

Gang!  So sorry for the radio silence and severe delays in posts!  I traveled to LA this past weekend for what was an absolutely amazing trip and I was a smidge jet lagged at the beginning of the week--totally worth it though!  Ok, we're talking rigs...I am on a big black on black/black & white kick right now (Exhibits A, B, C).  Here's the thing--it's not within my nature to not add an element of surprise or pop rather, be it in a subtle print mix like above, a colored Satchel, or a fun pair of Slip On Sneaks.  Just because she's a pretty plain palette doesn't mean the look can't have elements of fun!  Y'all have a wonderful day out there--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!

Sweats & Leather

  

sweatshirt (Current/Elliot, options below), leggings (Members Only, oodles of options below), oxford (J.Crew), shoes (Zara), satchel (Cambridge Satchel Co.), watch (Tag Heuer), bracelet (Stella & Dot), ring (Lagos), shades (Michael Kors)

Faux leather that is.  Two things I will indefinitely repeat the heck out of this season--the leather legging and a good ole' cozy sweatshirt.  They make for a lovely pairing don't you think?  I like how the fitted toughness of the legging is balanced by the ease of the sweatshirt--not to mention the whole rig is so darn comfortable...truly!
