J.Crew SALE!

Happy Tuesday lovelies!!  I hope you are all having a great week so far.  I had a wonderful weekend filled with bday parties, beautiful walks with the hubs, church, lunch with friends, and some DIY projects :)  I've got a few blog posts coming up with some fun crafts I've been working on.  But for NOW, I just had to share one little thing with all of you who adore J.Crew. 

 I wrote in my last post about getting to go to the pop-up J.Crew sample sale last week in NC, which was amazing!!  It's up all month, so if any of you are in the area, come on by!  But for those of you who are no where near this great state, you MUST go check out the J.Crew website pronto.

Friday's Fancies - Blazing Beauties

Happy Friday!!  Wahooo!!  I hope you all had a great week.  It sure was a beautiful one here in NC, with the weather JUST right.  70's in the daytime, high 50's at night -- ahhhhh.  I've had the windows open in my apartment all week, and the sunroof open while driving.  Now if it could just stay like this for a couple months, I'd be a happy girl :)

This Friday, I'm linking up with {av} for the weekly Friday's Fancies, and this week's theme is BLAZING beauties...all about the blazers.  Oh, I how I love blazers.  I used to think they were too "professional" looking, but that is until I found the boyfriend blazers, jeweled blazers, blazers in bold colors, and more.  I didn't know there were so many options!!   My dream blazer is below -- I have had my eye on this Topshop one for awhile, ever since I saw Olivia Palermo in the black version (see below).....but sadly both are sold out now.

I paired it with a bright top, skinny black pants, suede wedges and a bold, structered bag.  Complete the look with neutral suede wedges and an armful of bangles, and you're done!!  Love.

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend.  I started off the day today hitting up a FAB J.Crew sample sale with some of my girlfriends....and it was a  success!!  I ended up picking up a few cute things, including a cozy olive sweater and a polka dot dress.  

Tonight, I have to work, but will spend tomorrow hanging w/ the hubs, and then celebrating a friend's 30th bday tomorrow evening! 

Happy Friday!!

XOXO

Buyer's Remorse?

I just bought these.  Am I crazy??

Eeeeek :/

Leopard Love

So, besides the chunky knit sweaters, cozy scarves, and faux fur jackets, there is another fall look that I ALWAYS look forward to wearing each autumn......

LEOPARD! 

Not from head to toe, mind you, but a clutch here, some flats there, a cute cardigan there...you get the drift.  Now, it is crucial that you only have 1 leopard item on at at time.  Otherwise, it's an instant Halloween costume.

I have been a leopard fan for years and years, and I'm so glad that it always comes back.  Each season, leopard is always in, and I'm definitely always a fan. 

Paired w/ solid colors (either neutral or bold), I think leopard is the perfect way to spice up an outfit. And it can always make a look go from day to night.  Just pop a leopard scarf over your tan sweater, or (notice, I didn't say AND) trade out your black flats for a pair of leopard pumps, and dunzo -- you just went from casual to chic in a matter of seconds. 

Still not conviced?

Check out these lovelies.....

how stinking cute are these?!

Or are you a leopard-lover like me?
