Outfit Preview: New Years Eve
Top: Social Apparel | Skirt: Alice + Olivia (sample sale) | Shoes: Shoemint | Tights: H&M | Bag: c/o Rebecca Minkoff | Necklace: c/o Ann Taylor
I love playing dress up and figuring out what I'm going to wear before an event or party. This year just like last year we are keeping it "low key." We are getting together with some close friends, having our traditional Holiday dinner and staying in for a little NYE party. Since it's casual I figured I'd wear my new favorite Alice + Olivia skirt that I picked up at AO sample sale for $49! I will be spinning around all night in this skirt for sure! I added a little bit of glam with a crop top that I picked up from Social Apparel. I first was looking for a black turtle neck top but I couldn't find one that I liked so I went for some sparkle. What would NYE be without being a little bit of sparkle? Plus I figured I def. wear this top again...especially when I go down to Miami with my gals.
Sparkle, champagne, and alluring lip color is always on my must have list for NYE. What's on yours?

Outfit Post: The Hypochondriac
picture from The Man Repeller
Last week The Man Repeller put up a pretty amusing and quite accurate post on what girls wear when they go out during the winter (read here: Girls Who Go Out). I like to believe I fall somewhere in between The Semi-Repeller and The Hypochondriac. But in reality I am that girl who bundles up to go outside...and then I'm THAT girl that sheds off all the layers once indoors. I love my layers, chunky scarves, and beanies. Over the years I have tried to perfect the winter layers so I'm not totally that girl at the bar with her clothes laying in a huge pile. But I must admit my new favorite layering is a long wool vest over a leather jacket. It's so warm yet so chic.
Jacket and Vest: Zara | Sweater: Old Navy | Jeans: H&M | Boots: Dolce Vita | Bag: BCBGengeration |
Which girl are you?

I will be spending the day with my family and fiance dressed casually but just with a bit of sparkle. Because really who doesn't love to sparkle? Hope your Christmas sparkles bright!

Outfit Post: Snow Daze
Jeans: Carmar from LF Store | Boots: c/o Cougar Boots | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Gloves: Aeropastle (old)
| Socks: Urban Outfitters (old)
I've had this jacket for yearrrssss. And when I say years I mean it has to be at least 6 years old. It's one of those pieces that I've held on to, I don't wear it as often as I use to since I'm a fan of long jackets but I do like it break out from time to time, esp when it's snowing. It's amazing how perfect condition it is for being so old. I have often times come close to donating it but I can't seem to part with it.
Do you have any pieces that have lasted through out the years?
