How to Style:

Every Since I first laid eyes on these gorgeous shoes worn by my favorite blogger Krystin from Suburban Faux-Pas I have been heavily lusting. These babies are at the top of my wish list right now for more ways then one! I love the sophistication because you can easily throw these on with skinny jeans and a white tee to create an instant dressier look or pair with leather leggings and a oversized sweater. Not only is the color perfect for fall but can we talk about the bow? Who doesn't want a perfect height heel with a bow on the front! This shoe holds everything I love all in one!!

Not to mention I own every piece of this outfit except for the shoes, I think I need them just for the sake of completing the outfit..am I right?!

What type of shoes are on your wishlist for this fall?!

I love any excuse to buy gifts for people and Valentine's Day is one of those times.

I have put together a few items that I am sure any girl or guy would love to receive.

Valentine's Day: Movie Date

{1} {2} {3} {4} {5} {6} {7} {8}

Another very popular option for valentine's day is to see a movie. Luckily they always seem to release a highly talked about chick flick that day to draw you in. I am so excited to see Safe Haven next week since Nicholas Sparks is one of my favorite authors. This look Is toned down, while still incorporating pink/red with a touch of girly chic with the lace. You can never go wrong with a pair of boots and a small amount of bling!

Valentine's Day Dinner {Inspiration}

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and this year I am so excited to be spending it with my best friend in Charlotte, NC. I have always been a huge fan of Valentine's day even though I have never had a really great experience, except with some of my best girlfriends. So this year I am packing up and going south to do all things girly with Jamie. I wanted to put some outfits together as inspiration for any of you out there that can't decide what to wear that night whether you are going to dinner, a movie, or some other romantic location.

I am a firm believer that Valentine's Day should only be an extension of how your guy treats you the rest of the year, it shouldn't take a holiday for him to really show you how he feels. For todays look I paired a gorgeous red dress with a touch of sparkle. This is definitely a more dressy look and I would wear this to a nice dinner. I love that the dress really steals the show and would you look at that bow, dress heaven!

I would love to know what you ladies have planned for valentine's day and what you are planning to wear! Have a great week!

Work Attire

One Two Three Four Five Six Seven

Work is an awesome outlet for me to try out new fashions and dress up for a change. I love mixing colors and patterns and tend to lean towards dresses and skirts more then anything. I am currently crushing on mustard and navy together so this outfit is perfect. I love how the colors compliment each other and the ankle boots add a dressier feel to the outfit without being to high of a heel for standing on my feet all day. I always wear a watch and some sort of arm candy so these pyramid bracelets have become a jewelry staple for me and go perfectly with any other bracelets you choose to add to your wrist. The best part about this outfit is each piece is under $100. Thanks for reading.

XOXO

Hurricane Sandy Attire

One Two Three Four

I have never been a fan of rain boots until i found out about hunter boots. I love all of the fun colors that they come in especially this maroon color for fall. With all of the flooding that the hurricane brought this outfit is one that i will definitely be wearing for the next few days. The J.Crew excursion vests are perfect for this colder weather and the color is amazing. I wear mine all the time and plan on monogramming it sometime soon! What are your favorite outfits for a rainy day?

XOXO
Lauren
