It finally warmed up over the weekend and I was so excited to bust out these new color blocked heels. I found these a few months ago at DSW for only $20! I couldn't believe it! It's moments like those that make searching for a deal, extremely rewarding:)

What's your favorite deal?

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!! I hope you got to enjoy this weekend! I love the color green, and any excuse to wear it. 2013, is going to be a good year, thanks to Pantone for making emerald the color of the season. And onto the sandals...I saw these beauties on instagram and new that I had to have them. I mean, they are the perfect casual mix of g litter and caramel. I tracked them down at my first stop a few weeks ago. But, was finally able to slip them on, this weekend, thanks to the warm weather that blew through Kansas. 

What piece are you excited to wear, when it warms up more?

dressy boyfriend

tweed blazer: vintage 12th St. by Cynthia Vincent | tee: J.Crew | jeans: Madewell | shoes: Calvin Klein | necklace: J.Crew | ring: James Avery 


This tweed blazer is a great way to dress up a simple boyfriend jean and tee look. It's all about the accessories in this outfit. The dark platform and heel of the pump brings out the black trim of the tweed blazer. It's a great outfit for running around town and then grab drinks with the girls.

I hope  you had a wonderful weekend. Enjoy your week!

gingham girl

shirt: J.Crew | skirt: vintage similar here | shoes: J.Crew | earrings: Forever21 (old) | ring: vintage Tiffany's | watch: Michael Kors | bracelets: J.Crew, Route 66 but similar here 

With about a foot or more of snow on the ground I am bundled up dreaming of spring. So I bring you a look to wear this is meant for much warmer days. I love a classic gingham shirt, it gives a classic look to almost everything. This gorgeous fuchsia color of this skirt caught my attention, when I was out vintage shopping. I was over the moon when I loved the fit. 

The emerald ring I'm wearing on my right hand was a gift from my father to my mama when I was born. My mama gave it to me for my 21st birthday, and is always my go to when I want to feel fancy.

Do you have a family heirloom piece that you love?

a downtown stroll

peplum sweater: old from LOFT but similar here and here maxi skirt: old BCBG MaxAzria but similar here shoes: here belt: factory Banana Republic but similar here sunglasses: old J.Crew but similar here bracelets: vintage J.Crew but similar here and here watch: Michael Kors 

I found this great little peplum sweater at LOFT on black Friday and I couldn't resist! The black maxi skirt I've had for a few years and it's easy to throw on with cute peplum tops and even fitted tops with a blazer. I love adding leopard to add sass to any outfit. The flats were a great wedding present, yes wedding present, from one of my bridesmaids. It was an absolute surprise, and I wear them all the time. 

 "I think every woman should have leopard, but not every woman will wear leopard. You have to have courage to wear leopard." - Rachel Zoe

I could agree more. Be courageous.

I loved what I saw at NYFW, so I had to put together some looks that we could wear now. I loved the black, white and cobalt looks from BCBG Max Azria, the classic and feminine silhouettes from Holmes and Yang, and the glitzy embellishments and pattern mixing at J.Crew. I found some wonderful pieces that you can wear now, and into the actual fall season. 

What are you excited to wear?
