Snow shoeing it

We had snow earlier this week but it wasn't able to slow me down. When other people were pulling out their snow shoes . I pulled out my F21 high heels and this bill-a-bong cut out tank that I found at Ross for $8. The white snow inspired another black and white mash up outfit. I think this trend is by far my favorite trend of the season, as you can see in outfit number one, two, three and four. Even though they are very different I believe that I might need to get creative with some color.
Good Investment
Buying pieces in this year Fall colors might last you past spring 2012 and into spring 2013 according to Fashion Snoops. This won’t be the last time we see pieces in jade, peony, gerber daisy, red, ink, and lemon drop. Even though pastels will be hot this spring, if you bought or are planning to buy pieces in these shades they will be a good investment. So carry on!
Living without Limits
So I went with my family and friends to hear Nick Vujicic from No Limbs No Limits speak this weekend. His story is amazing and he is so full of hope and inspiration. Listening to all he has overcome makes you painfully aware that life (with faith) can be limitless and the only one holding you back from reaching beyond your comfort zone is you. We can and should be living a life without limits. God gives us Peace, Joy and Love and they are free! We all really enjoyed it. We got a chance to jam with Tabi M., a top worship vocalist and Alden Cruz, the famous pianist. That man’s hands are like the Matrix. I was amazed at how his hands were moving so fast, our eyes couldn’t keep up, it way just like a blur. That man is truly gifted. It was a casual event so this is what I wore.
Here are some things to keep in mind when you are dressing for an event or concert:
- What is the dress code, formal or informal? Even though my event was at Constitutional Hall, it was an informal event. If you still aren’t sure about the dress code for your event, check out the website of the event’s location or the speaker’s website for photos of similar events and see how people were dressed. You don’t want to show up in jeans when others are decked out in gowns.
- Will there be parking or a long line? Wear comfortable shoes so you can be ready to hike from the car to the show or stand in the line that wrapped around the block, like we did. I opted for comfortable boots and lots of layers, it worked out great!
- What is the temperature? It was 25 degrees outside but nice and toasty inside. In order to be prepared for all temperatures dress in layers because it is hard to get the temperature right in large places. There is usually no coat check and you will probably want to get some merchandise so bring a bag that can hold your coat or store all your goodies.
High on Drama, High on Style
Looking for an outfit with a lot of drama. Go for the classic white blazer and black pencil skirt. Every time I wear it I feel like I have been transported back it time. So Greta Garbo!
Steaming Up the Room
Staying on trend, here is the choker I picked up at Forever 21 for ($7.50). My husband told me after taking these shots today that I was steaming up the room. What do you think? It sure looks like I at least steamed up the camera. You too can steam up the room to by adding a choker to your every day suit.

and if you aren't afraid of studs, you'll definitely love Topshop's Stud Metal Torq Necklace ($17), which is reasonably price as well.
Fur-ocious Friday
Rita Hollins, my work style buddy, showed up today to casual Friday looking fur-ocious. From her lush Michael Kors fur vest to her crystal incrusted, spiritually inspired “Believe” t-shirt. I have to say even though fur is the hot trend of the season I wasn’t a huge fur fan because I just couldn’t see how I could pull the look off without looking too costumey. That was until Rita walks in with this amazing vest! Michael Kors well done, it is simply amazing! From luxurious texture of the fur to the edgy leather buckles, this is to die for. She looked comfortable, modern and edgy which is a fantastic combination. As for the T-shirt, I just fell in love with Kingdom Klothes Unlimited T’s. They make deeply personal and spiritual statement through fashion while remaining modern and edgy enough to wear every day. People say don’t wear your heart on your sleeve, and I say their right, wear it on your shirt!
Navy Blues
I have the blues today but I am not sad. I have the navy blues. Wearing all black is a thing of this past. I got this navy ruffled blazer and textured navy skirt for Christmas from the Ann Taylor Outlet during a 50% off sale. Go me!

Check out the New Kardashian Kollection Jewelry Promos! - Kim Kardashian videos, photos and blog: Official website. I like the collection is a layered barrage of chokers and chains done right.
Opposites Attract
Opposites attract, so pull out those black and white pieces and do a mash up. The colors are timeless and cohesive, so any way you put them together they match. Just take two different suit pieces and marry them together in a new way.
Rockin Out the Flannel
The Trend of the Day: Printed Blazer
I know I am a dork, but I am tearing a page from Rebecca Minkoff's runway and going all rock star on ya! This jacket is one of my new favorite pieces that I picked up for $8 on my latest thrifting adventure. This flannel jacket zips up into a nice blazer as well. It is comfy and has so much character. I paired it will a black sheath dress that has a built in leather belt. I am always trying to find a top for this dress, so I am glad I found a blazer with just as much charisma as the dress. I would wear this jacket everyday if I could. I think I saw another one at the Thrift store and if you are interested I might pick it up for my first giveaway.

I Only Have Eyes for You
My husband wanted to get me a Coach purse for the holidays but I had Marc Jacobs on my mind. I love a Coach purse but I was trying to diversify my purse portfolio. So I set out to find my holiday surprise, I looked at 50 stores looking to buy the camel bag from my wish list but I it only took I one look in the Coach outlet to find this jewel. It originally went for $268 but I walked away with it for $113. I can't help it but I seemed to only have eyes for Coach.
Look of the Day: Over-sized Sweater + Camel Pencil Skirt
