She Dreamed of Paradise

Although slightly loud & seasonally inappropriate, these palm tree leggings were necessary to enjoy a brief moment of sunshine last week.  Sunny days have been few & far between as of late & I couldn't think of a better way to take full advantage.  I paired them with an equally loud shade of blue & continued to combine textures, such as leather, silk, & wool.

Birds in Flight

Thanks to WISH for sending me this amazing blouse!  I styled it with neutral basics & paired it with purple accessories in order to keep the print as the focal point...

In the Mood For Cozy

Currently craving: Oversized & slouchy sweaters, fireplaces, warm bevys in said oversized sweaters, winter whites, the combination of grey + black on dreary winter days, touches of glitz & sparkle, lots of snuggling, and easy braids to battle winter static....

The Lion

I wore this outfit, complete with my newest sweater addition, to family Thanksgiving when I was home in Iowa (can you tell by the cornfields behind me?).  It is a complete rip-off of the Carven version seen here, but I just couldn't resist the color combination (or the price, for that matter)!

After arriving home from a week spent on-the-go in Iowa, it was a nice change of pace to be back in my daily routine.  Visiting is always such a great time, but always such a busy time trying to see everyone we possibly can in what seems like such a short amount of time...

Happy December! One more month to accomplish everything you set out to do in 2011. This month marks my 'Golden Birthday' as I turn 26 on the 26th.  I would love to wear a glitzy, sequined piece to my party, any of these would do....
