Pencil Me In

Navy Sweater & Yellow Floral Pencil Skirt

It’s been a while since I’ve rocked the pencil skirt … mostly because I tend to associate them with a conservative, buttoned-up vibe.  In my past life, I came from a world of skirt-suits, where the options were black, gray and maybe a navy (if you were feeling wild).

Suffice it to say: to get me anywhere near a pencil skirt these days, it’s got to be bright and bold like this floral print or this leafy pattern (both an extra 40% off, by the way!).  I love a printed pencil with an asymmetrical zipper sweater and a pair of ankle-strap pumps.  It’s anything but your average office wear and that’s something I can get behind.

Gift Guide: For The One Who Sparkles

Holiday Gift Guide: Sparkles

sequin bee loafers // iPhone 5 case // glitter necklace // double ring // cat-eye sunglasses

You guys … the holiday season is here and I’ve got to admit, I’ve been in a little bit of denial that Thanksgiving is next week.  I’m not ready for all the shopping madness that quickly follows, but I can get on board with bringing you this year’s holiday gift guides!  No standing in line and trampling over people required.

First on the list is a roundup of all things glitter and sequin, because who doesn’t love a little sparkle?  I have this druzy double ring and if I had my ears pierced, the matching earring set would be on the top of my list.  I think these loafers are the perfect touch of whimsy, but if subtle sparkle is more your thing, this striped shirt might do the trick.  I can’t wait to share more gift ideas with you over the next month, but in the meantime, I would love to know what’s your favorite little piece of glitz?

Two Ways to Wear: Bright Winter Coats

J.Crew Stadium-Cloth Cocoon Coat in Neon Coral

There are a few things that I always check on my phone when I immediately wake up in the morning: my Instagram feed, any ongoing Words With Friends games and the weather.  But when it says it “Feels Like 17°F” outside, the last thing I want to do is crawl out of bed.  We’re in for a doozy this winter, which is enough justification for me to grab every bright, colorful coat in sight.  While I just bought this coat in grey, I’m loving it in cherry red and will probably add this cocoon coat to arsenal soon.  Let’s face it, we’re gonna need plenty of pep to get through this season.  What’s on your winter coat wishlist?
