Happy Houndstooth and New Year

I recall, and might I add...very clearly...disliked houndstooth when I was a little girl. But, as my mother always told me, things are cyclical. And just like that...houndstooth is back and cuter than ever. This dress (from Target...get out, right?) is thick enough for a true northern winter outfit or worn alone for a southern "winter" day of 75 degrees. I paired this fab find with black tights, black pumps, a crisp white button up top and a tassel necklace. And of course, I topped off this outfit with red lips (NYX matte lip color). I'd suggest snagging this dress while it's available!

Truer Words Have Never Been Spoken

When I saw this leather sleeved t-shirt at Target, there was no way I was leaving the store without it. I mean, this blog basically runs on the belief that the higher you tease your hair and the higher your heels, the closer to you are to heaven. So, why not announce it on your shirt? I paired this top with dark skinnies (Paige Denim), Aldo black patent leather heels, massive blingy earrings from Judy's Antiques. For my daily arm party, I went with spikes, snakes and skulls to keep the bad gal feel. For my hair, I used my new Remington curling wand (my first experience with a "wand"). I'm a huge fan!

A Splash of Spikes

I am so jazzed about these fun pants, that I had to bring them out of the closet again. The first time I sported these patterned pants, I opted for a Kurt Cobain shirt...such a fun twist. This time, I went with a spiked top (from TJ Maxx) to add some edge. For heels, I went with my tall, black, patent leather Aldo heels. To finish off the look, I chose a red lip stain (L'Oreal) and a top knot (duh). 

Red, Blue, All Things New



I was excited to wear this super fun and feminine dress - I mean, how precious are the details? I found this dress at my favorite local boutique, Lindsay Nicole. Paired with sky-high patent leather heels from Aldo and this fun ring from H&M, I was having a ball twirling around in this little get up all day.



Polka Dots & Pumps

Finally - a new pair of hammer pants! That is a cause for celebration in my world. These pants (from Forever 21) were only $15 and are so fun! I paired these comfy pants with a tan knitted top (H&M) and Aldo patent leather nude heels. I spiced up this ensemble with a fun ring from Forever 21, a long gold necklace from Ann Taylor and an assortment of fun gold bracelets for a little arm candy action. Yes, it's true that by 1 pm my feet were blistered and in pain...but they looked good. Mind over matter, honey...mind.over.matter.

Espadrilles Are Everything

On a rainy day packed with movies and facials, you want to look presentable without being too fancy. I kept in casual in some dark denim shorts but jazzed the outfit up with a gold Ann Taylor belt, my favorite espadrilles from Aldo and and Ann Taylor Loft striped top. Keeping it classic with red, white and blue is one of my favorite looks. I kept the jewelry simple with some sparkly studs and my two-toned Michael Kors watch.
