The Green Dress

It's been said that every women should have a go-to dress in her wardrobe, typically the lbd, but what about a stunning jewel tone color that is equally just as classic? This dress from Lookbook Store is feminine and sexy all rolled into one. Plus, it fits perfectly. It's always a happy surprise when clothes fit as if they were tailored for your body. I'm wearing a US 2. With it being the holiday season, the green color fits right in. I opted for a timeless red lip and sparkling gold accessories. I cannot tell you how many times I've grabbed this gold clutch. It really does go with everything! I've had it for a few years now and its basically the only formal clutch I use.

Studded Shoulder Denim Blazer

Happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I went to go see Inferno with Tom Hanks and let's be honest, Tom Hanks is good is anything he does. Doctor Strange is next on my movie list! I also got some holiday prep shopping done at Target too, which its always good to get a head start on those things. Items like wrapping paper, gift bags, tissue paper, and labels. All the necessities to make your gifts look pretty. My dad and I also attended the Holiday Tea at Hillside on Saturday. They host the event in an old mansion on the farming land with Christmas decorations, yummy treats, and of course your choice of tea, egg nog, or wassel. The fireplace is always lit and feels so cozy to sit by. I look forward to the holiday tea every year and find it to be so relaxing and a great way to get into the holiday spirit!

I actually wore this outfit on election day last Tuesday. I was also very sick and felt like I was dragging myself through the day. In any case, this studded jacket definitely has some rocker vibes to it, which was fun for me since I do not traditionally dress that way. That's one of the things I love about fashion, there are so many different styles out there that you can have fun playing around with. While I do not usually do not do punk or rock types of styles, I can still put my own spin on the look and be more comfortable wearing it. I'm wearing a size US 2 in the jacket for reference. The only thing I'm not crazy about with the jacket are the padded shoulders. They add too much bulk in that area.

One trend that is continuing on into the fall and holiday/winter season are tassel accessories. These tassel drop earrings from Bauble Bar are seriously cute and extremely well made! I went with the gray coloring, but they also have cobalt blue, pink, purple, black, and silver. I want them all! The colors and light catching effects are head turning and a fun take on the trend. These would make a great gift for any fashionista!

Rose Gold Bomber Jacket

Happy Friday, friends! This was our last full day in Valley Forge and again, it was absolutely spectacular weather. I took Ava over to Washington's Headquarters (the photos were taken at the train station a few feet away) where she could play and frolock in the leaves that had fallen to the ground. There was this beautiful golden yellow tree that had dropped a good amount of leaves and that's where we spent most of our time. It's also where the last photo here was taken. She really enjoyed herself! I also met some lovely people who also ended up being photographers. The one, Mike, had offered to take some photos of Ava and I with my camera for me. Thank you so much again Mike!! He took this last photo and absolutely captured the whole feeling of our trip. Diane was also taking some photos that day and ended up capturing some candid shots of Ava and I in the leaves. Thanks again for sending those along to me Diane!

This outfit is a glam version of your everyday casuals. That's what some metallic accessories will do for you! My favorite metallic has always been rose gold. It's a great alternative to yellow or white gold with your jewelry too. This bomber jacket is made from a quality satin and is fully lined. It was perfect for keeping me warm and stylish on a fall day. I actually never took it off the whole day. I'm wearing a US2 for reference. The best part? It's under $30! I've seen some other rose gold bomber jackets that are much higher priced and look exactly the same.

First off, Justin and I went to go see Star Wars: The Force Awakens last night for his birthday and let me just say WOW! It was amazing. I do not want to give anything away if you haven't seen it yet, but if you love Star Wars, especially A New Hope, then you will without a doubt love this movie. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time waiting to see what would happen next. Anyone else seen it yet? Let me know what you thought!

I'm a sucker for timeless pieces like this vintage inspired camel coat. It has such an elegant feel to it complete with gold hardware, a lapel neckline, and zippered pockets. Being stylish and comfortably warm is something I'm always on the lookout for when it comes to outerwear. Along the same lines, this embroidered dress has the most gorgeous print on it with striking colors that really pop. A nipped in waist and subtle flair of the skirt having me reminiscing of classic movies, but with an updated feel. I'm also jumping for joy that the dress has sleeves! I always get so excited about that haha.

Black, white, and red is such a classic color combo that I do not think I will ever tire of. It evokes fun and elegance all in one. I've been wanting a red coat for ages and fell in love with this bow one from the Lookbook Store (wearing a US 4) that has a detachable fur collar. You know I love anything with a bow on it! It also has pockets, which absolutely sold me. I've been obsessed with this striped sequin shirt too. See how I wore it last here. Add in a little bit of tulle to this look and you have one fabulous outfit! This black tulle skirt (wearing a US 2) adds some practical magic to any outfit you pair it with, plus I love the midi length and elastic waist. Talk about being comfy.
