Tis the Season!

Happy Tuesday Dolls! 

Holy crap when did it become December? I swear it was just August a minute ago then BAM the holidays are upon us! I'm not complaining in the least, December is my utmost favorite time of year because everyone finally starts to get in the Christmas spirit and it's 100% ok to be blasting Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" on repeat without getting dirty looks ...

Before I get into full on Christmas mode on my little corner of the internet, don't fret those posts will start becoming a regular thing here soon, let's back track to this past weekend and Thanksgiving! I was fortunate enough to be able to spend it with my family once again in Las Vegas, which is what we did last year as well. It works out great because we get to eat at some of the nicest restaurants in the country, bet on football and of course spend time with each other. If I'm lucky I get to see my parents and sister together in the same place 2-3 times a year so I always look forward to having us all together. 

Look for a Vegas recap later in the week, but for now let's get back to my outfit post. It's been a LONG time since I've posted one of these so thank you to my fabulous madre for taking my photos :)

All black outfits are great, but whenever the chance to wear sequins arises, I jump on it! 

I just love the scallop detailing on this skirt

When I first tried these on, I was a little hesitant to buy them but now they're literally my go to black heels!

Top & Skirt: Forever 21 // Necklace: Cornucopia // Earrings: Francesca's Collection // Heels: Michael Kors // Watch: Juicy Couture // Monogram Ring: Handpicked // Blue Topaz Ring: David Yurman

Shopping Is My Cardio + Stylish Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday Dolls! 

I guess all of my bragging about the warm weather was bound to nip me in the butt because it's fuh-ree-zing in LA right now. By freezing I mean in the low 60's (I feel your eye rolls through my screen) and believe me my Michigan/Indiana self would slap me in the face for saying such a comment. 

Even though I thought it was le freezing, I couldn't wait to wear one of my new graphic tees!

I'm offering one in a giveaway at the end of this post

It's sad to say but the most exercise action I get is when I'm playing kickball. No jokes here folks, I actually play in multiple co-ed kickball leagues; but this faux leather skirt was simply made for twirling!

So needless to say Shopping is definitely my Cardio

Tee: Made By Yours Truly // Skirt: H&M // Shoes: Target // Earrings: Francescas // Necklace: Cornucopia // Bangle: Rustic Cuff 

 Two ladies are being featured this week: Sofia from Stylishly in Love and Elise from Hunters of Happiness

Sofia's look is edgy yet feminine with her gold accessories. She has a great story behind these amazing jumpsuit photos so make sure to check out her blog!

Happiness Lately & Stylish Tuesday

Happy Tuesday Loves!

So much exciting stuff has happened over the past couple of days that I can't contain my happiness! 

First and foremost Dr. D and I booked a trip to CABO SAN LUCAS! Woo freaking Hoo! I am so pumped for a week without my phone, laying out and getting my drink on! Oh and staring at this every single day! You bet your Prada I'll be living it up at the swim up pool bar!

Next I FINALLY took advantage of the super nice weather we've been having and spent an afternoon bronzing away in Santa Monica. This El Nino effect has brought nasty weather nationwide (as we all know) but someone has to take advantage of 80 degree days in January!

Lastly I'm working on a big surprise as my first ever giveaway! The post will be up on Friday and I can't wait to share it with you ladies! 

- now to the fashion -

My weekend was pretty relaxing; therefore, I didn't take any pictures for this week's posts. This was actually my Christmas Day outfit and I'm just now getting around to posting it .... tsk tsk.

Top & Belt: Target // Tank: Ann Taylor LOFT // Pants: Old Navy // Necklace: Cornucopia // Boots: Steve Madden

Has anything super exciting happened to you lately?

This week's featured look comes from Elizabeth at Elizabeth Nygard! 

I truly love Elizabeth's blog and look forward to reading it daily. She's a blogger of all trades giving advice and tips on not only fashion but also make up, fitness and mouth watering recipes. We both started a link up around the same time too so make sure to check out her Love Your Look segment every Tuesday!

Her plaid and poncho combo is nothing short of pure genius and those booties are amazing!

Holiday Leopard with Ashton

Happy Monday Y'all!

I hope everyone had a phenomenal weekend! I celebrated my birthday (extremely early) and watched a ton of football with Dr. D. Still can't get over the Eagles vs. Lions game continuing to play in 8+ inches of snow. Sheer madness!

Today I'm teaming up with the wonderful Ashton from Ashton Wears Things to show you how we wear leopard during the holiday season!

I love how Ashton styled her black blazer and leather leggings with pops of gold and leopard! Such a great twist on the all black and leopard combo and perfect for the holidays!

I have my fair share of brown/black leopard tops, but for the holidays I wanted to spice things up a bit with some red leopard. I paired it with a white skirt and a skinny belt (glitter of course!)

With the holiday parties in full swing, I switched out my plum purple mani for a emerald green to feel more festive!

Leather Details & Stylish Tuesday #2

Happy Tuesday Loves!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is the day after tomorrow? Neither can I! The month of November has not only flown by, but 2013 has been a complete blur for me as well. It's starting to finally cool off in Southern California so I was so excited to be able to bust out my leather leggings and vestique top.

Top: Vestique // Leggings: ANGL // Shoes: Nordstrom Rack // Necklaces: Cornucopia & J. Crew // Watch: Michael Kors // Bracelet: Sage K & Co.

So sorry I missed last week. I came down with a dreadful cold which was no bueno.

My favorite look from 2 weeks ago was Erin's from Simply Just Lovely! Her entire look reminded me of the 1950's and I thought it was incredibly chic.

Times Square Leopard

Happy Monday Y'all! 

My work schedule has me completely swamped so this post will be short and sweet. During our NYC trip I definitely wanted to try out my first set of "night" photos. I figured what better place to try and capture these than the infamous Times Square?  I think the photos turned out great, but to tell you the truth I was more excited for the chance to wear my Ralph Lauren coat. It was finally chilly enough to bust it out!

Top & Earrings: Francesca's Jeans: American Eagle Boots: Steve Madden Coat: Ralph Lauren Ring: Handpicked Necklace: Cornucopia Bag: Tommy Hilfiger
