Blogging Break Over! Wedding Style with Agora Vintage

Well, after a six month blogging break I'm FINALLY back with a new post!  I've missed you all and missed the blog so it feels really great to be back!  What better way to return to regular posting than with a collaboration with my favorite vintage shop, Agora Vintage!  My friend, artist and fellow Athens blogger, Hannah Betzel, and I spent a recent Saturday morning styling outfits from Agora's fabulous inventory of vintage and classic clothes, bags, shoes and accessories to share with you all.  What I thought was going to take an hour or so took several because we had the hardest time trying to narrow down our choices!  Agora is vintage and designer heaven!!  We decided to each pull two looks that are appropriate for occasions many of us have this time of the year ~ a wedding look and a travel look.  Today I'm sharing my wedding look and Thursday I'll be back (yay!) with my travel look.

A swingy black and white polkadot midi dress, classic pearls with a twist, patent lace-up sandals and pops of red in the bag and lip make for a perfect wedding outfit that would work for just about any summer wedding from morning to evening.

Projections With Agora Vintage

If you've read my blog for long, or if you follow me on Instagram, then you know how much I love my town, Athens, Georgia and all it has to offer (especially the boutiques), so when I was asked to be a part of the upcoming My Athens Projections Fashion Show I jumped at the chance!  Projections is a fashion show that features eight local boutiques paired with eight local stylists (of which I am one) who create looks inspired by iconic style films.  I am so excited to be working with Agora Vintage, styling some fabulous outfits based on the 1960's movie What a Way to Go!  I stopped by Agora a few weeks ago to put together a few street style outfits to give you a little glimpse of what Agora has to offer.  I love pairing high-end vintage with current pieces and that's exactly what I did for today's look.  Chanel and YSL paired with Joe's Flared Jeans, a look you could wear out to dinner or to the office.  Haley (who is Agora's fabulous shopgirl) is wearing head to toe vintage which is styled in a way that looks current and oh, so chic!

All vintage pieces are available at Agora Vintage and my jeans are available here.  Projections is this coming Sunday, November 8th.  It's going to be a lot of fashionable fun and I'd love for you to join me!  Get your tickets HERE!   And read more about me, Agora and Projections HERE.

In Transition

We're in transition ~ transition from winter to spring ~ and sometimes knowing what to wear can be difficult.  One day it's 80+ and the next day it's 40.  Or it starts off cold in the morning only to warmup by 30 degrees later in the day.  Layering is the way to go this time of the year.  Cardigans, denim jackets, utility jackets, blazers and leather jackets are the perfect completer pieces.  Easy to pull off if it gets warm but look great if you have to keep them on all day.

~What I'm Wearing ~
Faux Leather Jacket: Piperlime (sold out) Similar here and it's under $100!
Sweater: Gap (old) Similar
Leopard Pants: Isaac Mizrahi NY (last year) Similar
Booties - Guess (old) Similar
Bag: Vintage Louis Vuitton via Agora Vintage Athens (This one is perfect for spring/summer!)
Necklace: Stella & Dot
Earrings: Stella & Dot
Lips: Julep Plush Pout Lip Crayon

I fell in love with these pants the minute I saw them.  The party in the front business in the back is so unique!  I wish they were still available!  I searched everywhere for you but they are completely sold out.  I did find solid leopard pants here and here.

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!

Wha I'm Wearing ~
Over-sized Ivory Hooded Sweater: Michael Kors via T.J. Maxx {Similar}
Champagne Sequined Leggings: Cheeky Peach Athens {Identical}
Leopard Booties: Nine West {these sold out during Cyber Monday but here's an almost identical pair}
Vintage Louis Vuitton Bag: Agora Vintage Athens {Similar}
All Jewelry: Stella & Dot

The necklace I'm wearing is sold out but this one is another great option and one of my Stella & Dot favorites!
Cocktail Ring, Pave Bracelet, Inspiration Bangle, Sparkle Bracelet

Loving the gold zipper detail on this fab sweater!

This is my "I'm thinking about the new year" look ~ ha!

I'm going to take a few days off from the blog to spend time with The Hubs and relax.  I'll be on Instagram (I can't take a break from everything!) and will be back on the blog Monday with a new post featuring J.Jill!

Happy New 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?
