For The Holidays

Holiday parties and festivities are just around the corner. I've yet to decide what I'll be decking the halls in, but these dresses have me swooning. 

What are your plans? Will you be rocking a LBD or something with color?

Calling All Fashionistas

I literally need anyone and everyone's help! Do you see this sweater pictured above? Well, I have been wanting a sweater like this for about 3 years. Clearly I've had no luck. 

Then last year I found this photo on Pinterest and when I saw it, I knew that it was the one! Here's the trouble...I haven't been able to find it. The link took me nowhere, and though I've search through the internet and stores, I remain empty handed.

If anyone knows where I can get this sweater will you please, PLEASE let me know?! I realize this exact one is most likely not available anymore, but I'm hoping for a replica of sorts!  Comment below for any links or stores where you have seen one. Thanks in advance for your help!

Snow…what?!

Snow...what?! I couldn't believe the news has been reporting snow today. So far so good here in DC, but those poor Yakimaniacs! Check out Google's PSA. Brrr! No wonder dré was freezing yesterday--poor one!

Bundle up, babes. Winter is upon us!

Baby It's Cold Outside

Temperatures have plummeted here from 57° a couple days ago to 34° today! I'm keeping cozy with lots of layers. I removed my winter parka long enough to snap a few shots of my outfit. Now I'm off to get things done, and taking full advantage of my car's heated seats in between stops!

Blankets For Everyone

This just might be my favorite fashion staple of all time. The blanket. When the winter sets in, there's nothing more cozy then being under a pile of blankets.  

So when I came across this link on Twitter from Harper's Bazaar, I was ecstatic to see just how easy it was to make my own. There are two styles to choose from, and they are both fab. I'm obsessed with mine and planning on making more!

Can't Afford Not To

I recently scored in a major way, though it wouldn't have happened without my husband's hound dog skills. We were heading home after a road trip and after spotting a Ross, he suggested we check it out. 

Once inside I headed straight for the shoes, but was quickly discouraged as nothing stuck out to me that was larger than a size 9 ( I know, I know....I have big feet ). I was about to throw in the towel when he came over and thought he should take a look. Within a matter of minutes, he found me not one, but two pairs of heels that I actually liked!

Oh! It gets better...the booties he found me were marked at $4.99, and the heels we marked at 49¢!! I thought there had to be a mistake. Sure enough, it was true. Let me do some quick math for you. That is TWO pairs of shoes for $5.48!!

Lesson learned: good deals can take some digging, and don't forget to check discount stores. After all, you can't afford not to!

[ ALEXANDERWANGXHM ] Preview Collection Today!

Alexander Wang is the first American designer to design for H&M. His collection (watch below) went live online today and features wearable contrasts. Wang joins the ranks of Versace and Isabel Marant as the 2014 designer collaborator.

I personally love the anoraks, perforated sweaters, and scuba tops! These are pieces that I could immediately add to my wardrobe because they blend with my current style. Some of the other pieces at first look, of course, are more street; definitely reminiscent of an urban city such as NYC. Both the men's and women's collections will be sure to saturate wardrobes worldwide.

Watch Wang's collection below. Then visit select H&M stores or shop online November 6!
