Anyone else?

Is anyone else dying over this sweater? I live in leggings and this would be fabulous with a pair of boots. Anyone have it? Any likes/ loves/ hates about it? Sizing?

basics

love leggings. Spring isn't quite here yet so they are still getting alot of wear. Thought I would try J Crews featherknit tunic tee, they say it's cut a bit longer.. which is so necessary :)

make it your own, the little black cardi

I'm guessing there are alot of us who have a little black cardi. Anyone looking for fresh ideas on what to wear with it? I would LOVE to know how you wear yours! Whether it's over a white tee, or belted with leopard.. how would you wear a little black cardigan?

weekend plans, jcrew inspired

Thank you JCrew ads for inspiring some creativity this weekend ( maybe that painting project from a few posts back... ) what ever you do, wherever you are, I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Don't forget to fill me in on the details! xx

building the wardrobe-

I'm slowly working on the fall wardrobe. Adding a few pieces that I know I will wear daily. I am all about a few great pieces I love. Not spending a fortune on a bunch of trendy things I never touch. Just me. Anyway. To work into my cardigan and flats attire, I ordered two of these. Great basic, nice colors.
And against my better judgement, I ordered this alpaca long cardigan in the darker brown, shown here-

even though it looks terrible ( below )-

is it just me, or does it look awful?! Good heavens, press it before you shoot it! I think without 2 layers underneath, it will be cute. Fingers crossed-

I have to have the wrap up on a snowy day, throw on with Uggs ( yes, I wear them. I know, half the world hates them.. live in Canada, you won't have a choice ;) sweater. Do you have a go to day off sweater?

thinking fall-

I'm feeling a little bit lusty over these boots. Flat, check. Color of buttery goodness, check. Perfect with my casually classic attire, check. Great for leggings, check. Um hum.. these just might be the fall/winter boots of my dreams.

Have I said I'm sorry yet? I haven't visited so many of my blogging friends.. my work has been insane lately. I'm sorry, I miss you, I'll be back to visiting and commenting soon. xx

I'm pretty down to earth when it comes to wardrobe choices. I'm a pretty basic girl. I'm good with that, it suits me. I ordered a few pieces from Jcrew to mix in with my summer pieces. I'm lucky because my work attire is what ever I feel like. So this is it. What I wore yesterday. Now that I'm, getting up early in the am and getting ready for work pretty quickly, this stuff is fabulous for day old hair. Adds a little wave, back in a pony and done. I wish I had known about it earlier-

wedding idea

I wanted to show this to Lori, who is loving the bright violet for her upcoming wedding next year.. notice the lips? How great would this color bridesmaid dress look with violet colored flowers? Gorgeous.

2 packages arrived yesterday, my basics from JCrew + my flip flops-
