turkey day is coming!

and i plan on being in some sort of comfy-casual outfit like this one.  (but maybe with boyfriend jeans so i have room for pecan pie!)  but seriously, what says Holiday like sequins & sweaters?  i love a chunky open cardigan like this one from White Plum so i can layer and stay cool all day (ps - this exact sweater from White Plum is sold out but there's an identical one in black on sale!) and paired with this loose, causal top from Bomshell Boutique, it makes for the perfect T-Day outfit!  - and if you love this sequin elbow-patch top as much as i do, make sure to checkout Instagram thursday night for a chance to win one of your very own (as well as other prizes & discount codes!)

Mary Frances Flowers bee cuff c/o | similar heels boots from Nordstrom 

ok, shock time.  are you sitting down?  you may need to sit down...

this is my first blanket scarf.  yep.  told you it was a shock.  they were threatening revocation on my blogger title.  i had to cave....  and now i am completely smitten with this Pink Pineapple Shop scarf and will surely become an addict!  i loved welcoming home this pumpkin spice scarf as my first one and not the typical red plaid.  the colors in this one are gorgeous and pair so well with my fall wardrobe!  but don't worry, PPS still has the classic red & tan scarf for you other newbies.

for those of you who already have baskets of blanket scarves, i wanted to show a unique way to style them.  i love belting them over a dress that it might otherwise be too cold to wear.  this lace boho dress from Sugar Love Boutique is gorgeous but not too insulating.  add a scarf overlay, a jacket & boots.  done.  

i hope everyone has a great weekend!  i will actually have posts up tomorrow & sunday.  and there are a couple of amazing secret sale codes & a giveaway lined up for next week!

Stacy Brown Designs monogrammed necklace c/o | bangles c/o Rocksbox subscription

Shop Prima Donna heels c/o | East & Lo denim c/o ($50 jeans!!) ; denim option | gold watch

Swagger Gifts clutch c/o

most. comfortable. thing. i. have. ever. worn...

and unfortunately it's sold out... for the second time...  

i linked up a couple options that compare to this amazing sweater from Sugar Love Boutique. (this chunky poncho looks chic & cozy)  i really hate they keep going so fast.  it's such an amazing sweater....even if the hubby does insist it looks like a carpet....  men.  

i paired it with my favorite distressed skinnies (which are on sale for $50 !!) and kept the shoe choice sleek to balance out the chunky top half.  these chic beige pumps from Shop Prima Donna are my new favorite year-round heel.  i adore the unique cut and we all know nude shoes are my jam!

Fauxs and Flares

White Plum Leather front top c/o | flare jeans | Stacy Brown leopard print clutch c/o

Rock Your Locks clip-in extensions c/o | Shinymix necklace c/o - sold out - love this one

booties | similar colorblock scarf ; love this scarf option

so obviously i have been living in this braid lately.  my bad. 

 it's like when you discover you have a hidden talent and you want to show anyone who will sit still for 2 minutes.  i just discovered how to do this braid and i want to show it off...

i also couldn't wait to show off this faux leather-front shirt from White Plum.  The chic front faux-leather panel adds effortless style to both denim & workwear.  this gem also comes in a white & grey version and is surprisingly warm for a thinner sweater!

i am teaming up with White Plum next monday (24th) to bring you a holiday giveaway & some exclusive discount codes.  make sure to check back in to enter and grab the savings!  White Plum is one of my favorite boutiques!  i find something new that i have to have every time i visit the site!

Catch Bliss oversized sweater c/o | Stacy Brown Designs plaid monogrammed bangle c/o

Rock Your Locks extensions c/o | similar flirty mini skirt | MK tote

similar over the knee boots ; option here ; exact ones in brown

bliss is finally being able to wear sweaters!

while i'm not jealous of the snow my parents received in ohio yesterday, it is nice to finally have a chill in the air!  and this snuggly-soft oversized loose sweater from Catch Bliss Boutique is the perfect piece to bundle-up in.  i love the baggy fit and slight cowl neck, and the color is so on point for this season.  and don't get me started on a sweater with pockets.  fun & functional!

i paired this amazing sweater with a flirty flare skirt & black boots for something a little more chic, but it was also made for some skinnies and riding boots!  and i am head-over-heels for my new Stacy Brown Designs hand-painted plaid monogrammed bangle !!!  not only is it plaid and monogrammed, it comes with a little secret....a leopard print interior!  yep.  a little print-mixing surprise!

why is black on black always so right?!

you guys....  i have a new obsession.  it's a basic black tunic and it's my new best friend.  i am almost embarrassed to tell you how may times i have worn this tunic from Copper Peacock Boutique since it arrived on my doorstep.  four, ok.  four times.  ridiculous.  i paired it with black skinnies, distressed denim, white denim and with a cobalt mini for work.  ridiculous.  but basically it is the most perfect tunic for topping leggings/skinnies and for layering.  i am praying Copper Peacock stocks it in more colors to feed my addiction.  but in the meantime, i will throw this perfect plaid tunic in my cart and smile.  a big smile.
