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}

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?

From the Archives ~ Transition

Fall happened here in Georgia over the weekend.  Like real fall.  Very cool (even cold on Saturday) temps and the leaves on the trees started to change.  I lived in boots, jeans and flannel!  It's heaven for me.  I love layering, boots, scarves, sweaters, jeans, jackets...and the fall colors make me so happy!  Today I realized that I had a few "saved up" outfits in the blog archives from summer to fall transition that I hadn't posted yet and I decided to go ahead and post them before my full-on fall outfit posts start!

Kimonos are a great way to layer during the transition months with out being too hot!

What I'm Wearing ~
"Maxi" Kimono: Forever 21 (sold out) / Love the fall-like colors in this one!
Orange Tank: Versona / Similar
Denim Shorts: Gap / Similar
Wedges: Chinese Laundry / These are on a great sale!
Tassel Necklace: Stella & Dot (I wear it with everything - from cocktail attire to denim!)
Earrings: Stella & Dot (these are "transformer" jewelry ~ they go from chandeliers to studs!)
Leather Cuff: Tory Burch (LOVING this one and this one! 100% of the proceeds goes to breast cancer research!
Bag: Vintage Gucci via Agora Vintage / Similar

How perfect is this necklace?  You can wear it several ways too!

How's the weather where you are?  Has fall decided to make it's appearance or are you still in transition?
