The Right... Fall Stripes

I am seriously thanking Mother Nature as I draft this post because aside from a few unexpectedly cold days our transition to the dead of winter has been pretty smooth.  So much so that I haven't had to pull out the tights yet (but I don't think I'll be that lucky much longer!).     I scored this cotton/cashmere Uniqlo sweater dress on major sale (I'm talking $10) when I went in to stock up on tights a couple of weeks ago and it was such a good deal that I bought it in grey too.  Compulsive shopper?  No way - just bargain shopping the way my mom taught me to!  They've been in heavy rotation (along with this cape which didn't see much wear after I bought it this past Spring) and I can't wait to keep layering them straight through the cold months.

Oh and can we talk about this bag for a sec?  It's by Angela Roi - they've been around for a while now and I was lucky enough to meet the team during NYFW.  The online brand supports cancer and disease patients through the association of each color of bag and a portion of the proceeds of each bag directly benefit the designated cause.  I love when I find brands that give back and make amazing products.

The Right... Springtime Cape

I really truly hope that this is my last cool weather post.  I've officially been boycotting tights (even on barely 35/40 degree days) because I just can't with the cold weather anymore.  Sorry I'm not sorry for getting really "basic" right there.     On a positive note, I'm SO glad I pulled the trigger on this cape when I did and it was one of those times when it was fate for me to purchase it.  It will be in heavy rotation this season (AND next fall).

East vs. West: Holiday Shopping

Living After Midnite  //  Tiffany Style Blog  //  Envision Pretty  //  Pursuit of Shoes  //  Oomph.

I'm super excited about today's post because as much as I love getting all dressed up for the holidays, a casual outfit here and there is nice.  And I feel like we can't forget about holiday shopping because that's definitely one of the most important things to do this month.  I've found that running around in easy layers like a scarf, sweater dress, tights and boots makes it a) comfortable for shopping and b) easy to go from outside to inside (although sometimes I still struggle with the extreme temperature changes when walking indoors or outdoors).  What's your go-to holiday shopping look?  Be sure to check out how everyone else styled their looks!

Can we pause for a second and talk about these boots?  They're by Duo and they're super awesome because you pick your size AND your calf size.  Talk about a win-win for everyone (again, I've got some huge hams back there so I'm always on the hunt for stylish solutions to the problem!).
