New Year's Style

I have been wearing A LOT of sequins this holiday season!  It started back at Thanksgiving, continued through Christmas and is still going strong come New Years!  Our New Year's Eve is usually pretty laid back.  The Hubs and I try to get away for a few days to rest and recharge before the busyness of the new year begins, which is exactly what we will be doing again this year.  Sequin leggings and a cozy, over-sized sweater are great for dinner out or meeting up with friends and will still be comfortable for lounging at the hotel watching all of the bowl games and catching up on my favorite magazines!

Blogger Rule: When you find a fabulous red wall you must use it as a blog picture backdrop!

Happy New Year!!!

Post Christmas Piperlime Sale!

I usually wait until Monday to post but I had to let you all know about the awesome sale Piperlime has going before all the good stuff is gone!  With code CHIC50 you get an ADDITIONAL 50% off of already reduced boots, shoes, sweaters, coats, jeans, skirts, tops and more!  Oh, and they offer free shipping!  I've already placed two orders and my shopping cart is full again!  That Christmas money is burning a hole in my pocket and these deals are too good to pass up.  Shopping in my pj's instead of trudging out to the store is perfect!  I've purchased several items I've had my eye on all season for much less than half of the original price.  Gotta love those after Christmas sales!  Here are just a few of my favorites...

Happy Shopping!! XO Elizabeth

Fair Isle Favorite

It's the countdown to Christmas!  Good grief I'm busy and I know you all are too so I'll keep this post short and sweet!  Do you know when you have something in mind that you really want ~ like the perfect pair of shoes, bag or jeans ~ and when you finally find it you buy it on the spot, no questions asked (like "how much"?)?  That's how it was with this sweater.  I'd been wanting to add the perfect cozy fair isle cardigan to my winter wardrobe and when I was away with The Hubs for my birthday a few weeks ago I found it at fab'rik Dunwoody.  Fortunately he liked the cardi as much as I did, and fab'rik was having a 33% off everything in the store sale so everyone was happy!

What I'm Wearing ~
Fair Isle Cardigan: fab'rik Dunwoody {Similar}
Faux Leather Leggings: Bevello Lenox {Similar and on sale!}
Gray Tunic Tee: TJMaxx {Similar}
Gray Suede Boots: Encore Athens {Similar and 50% off!!)
Bag: Vintage Coach via Agora Vintage Athens {Current Version}
Statement Necklace: Stella & Dot

This hair, y'all!!  I was in desperate need of a cut and color when these pics were taken a few weeks back.  Thank goodness it's been remedied!

Ring: Stella & Dot (It comes in a set of three stackable rings but I'm just wearing one.)  Earrings: Stella & Dot (These can be worn three different ways!!  I'm wearing them as studs.)

So, are you ready for Thursday?  I still have a few gifts to get, mostly stocking stuffers and a few things for The Hubs, and ALL of my wrapping to do, plus baking... but it's all good because it is the most wonderful time of the year!!  Coming to the blog Wednesday ~ what I'll be wearing for Christmas Eve!

Leopard is Always a Good Idea

Can you believe Christmas is less than ten days away?  I have just started my Christmas shopping - like yesterday - so between the day job, blog, Stella & Dot and getting ready for the quickly approaching holiday I'm running crazy!  What do you wear when you're running from one thing to the next?  I reach for comfy leggings (leather or pointe knit are my favorites), a tunic top (leopard is always a good idea, it makes any outfit chic), a stylish cardi (this one is from The Loft Boutique and I'm loving the fringe and fabulous wine color!), flat boots and a cross body bag that's easy to sling on and go!

What I'm Wearing ~
Wine Sweater: c/o The Loft Boutique {similar}
Leopard Top: T.J.Maxx {similar}
Pointe Leggings: Nordstrom
Tan Suede Boots: Encore Athens {LOVE this over the knee pair}
Bag: Agora Vintage Athens {similar}
Rebel Pendant, Engravable Disc Necklace, Eden Bangle, Inspiration Bangle, Chevron Ring

How do you stay comfy and stylish this busy time of the year?

Coats for Every Occasion

You could spend hours planning your outfit and getting dressed but if you toss on a ratty, less-than-chic coat before heading out the door it ruins your entire look.  Put on a great coat, even if you are wearing only a sweatshirt and jeans, and you look instantly put together.  Here are a few of my favorites of this season ~ coats for every occasion.  (A few of these are going to be under my Christmas tree this year!  Thanks Santa!)

Which is your favorite?

All of these coats are currently on sale AND an additional 30%, 35% or 40% off depending on how much you spend!  30% off if you spend $50 with code SPEND50, 35% off if you spend $150 with code SPEND150 and 40% off (my choice!) if you spend $200 with code SPEND200

Just click HERE and shop away (don't forget to use the codes at checkout)!  (A fabulous coat makes a great gift too!)

Retro Inspired Style with Voodoo Vixen

I've always loved the feminine look of retro clothes and fit and flare dresses are my all time favorite style for my body.  I've got curves so I might as well make the most of them, right?  So when I received this dress from Voodoo Vixen I not only fell in love with the style but the bold black and white checkered pattern and the sweater knit fabric ~ perfect for fall!  I decided to pair the dress with black and white striped pumps and added pops of color with a hot pink bag and lip.  I've got another Voodoo Vixen dress coming to the blog soon and it's the perfect holiday party dress!  Get a sneak peek of the dress here.

Yes, these pictures were taken over a month ago, hence the green trees and bare arms and legs!

What I'm Wearing ~
Dress: c/o Voodoo Vixen
Striped Pumps: Forever 21 (sold out) {Identical here}
Bag: Kate Spade (sold out) {Similar here}
Bracelets and Earrings: Stella & Dot
Pink Lip: Revlon Sweetheart Valentine (my favorite lip color!)

Are you a fan of retro style like I am?  I can't wait to share my next Voodoo Vixen dress with you all!

This Voodoo Vixen dress was given to me for review but all opinions are my own.

Baseball Inspired Sweatshirt and Leather Pants

I got this sweatshirt/sweater during my trip to The Loft Boutique back in November when they invited me to their Cheers to Nine Years celebration (see my post on this fabulous shop and the event here).  The Hubs actually picked this top out for me.  I think he likes it because it's baseball inspired.  I like it because of the mixed media aspect (I'm a fan of anything with texture) and... that it's really comfortable! It goes well with jeans and of course, leather pants, which are my obsession this season.

How cool is this wall?  I just love shooting pics in downtown Athens!

What I'm Wearing ~
Black and white baseball inspired, mixed media sweatshirt: The Loft Boutique (similar here)
Faux leather pants: K-La (identical here)
Booties: Private Gallery Athens (LOVE these!!)
"How Does She Do It" bag: Stella & Dot (this pattern is sold out - same style, different fabric here)
Rose Gold Rebel Pendant
Pave Spear Necklace
Pave Triangle Cuff
Inspire Bracelet
Inspiration Bangle

I'm a fan of metallic nails ~ especially for the holidays! I'm wearing Sienna by Julep.

What are you loving (or obsessed with) this season?
