The weather on Sunday morning in Philly was crisp and sunny with just a bit of chilliness in the air, just the way I like it. It was like Saturday’s storm never happened! So remember yesterday when I said I wore this sweater all weekend long (minus Saturday night when I turned into a cat)? Well, I wasn’t kidding. The temperature outside was perfect for a cozy knit, so this time around, I paired it with ankle boots and a warm wool cape-like coat from Nine West’s new winter collection. They are launching a sweepstakes through their Facebook page right now, and are giving away this chic coat to one lucky winner. All you have to do is enter your email address in the sweepstakes entry field. Good luck! xo

P.S. Check out how the lovely Kim, Laura, Beth and Keiko styled their jackets for fall!

P.P.S. Sending out a thank you to “A” for taking these photos for me. :) xo

These Shoes Were Made For Walking…

This was the day that we decided to walk all the way from the French Quarter to the Garden District. (For those of you live in, or know Nola well, you will understand how far this walk was.) Our goal? To see The Lafayette Cemetery. About two hours later, we arrived at said destination. The amazing thing? All three of us walked almost the whole time in these shoes. (Lindsey and I are both wearing Nine West and Keiko is rocking a sky-high Jessica Simpson platform.) Actually, now that I remember, Lindsey didn’t bring flats, so she actually walked the entire time in her platforms without her feet falling off. I think that’s saying a lot about a shoe.

It was a wonderful day. We saw a bunch of different neighborhoods that ordinarily we would not have seen if it wasn’t for our meandering “jaunt” to the other side of the city. We actually had a great time and took tons of photos. Later that evening, we got gussied up to attend Sophomore’s fashion show, then went for drinks at the Ritz, and finally onto an amazing dinner at Lilette. The cherry on my sundae? “A” flew in for the weekend, and was waiting for me when I got back to the hotel. :) All in all, it was a fantastic evening.

This is Juley, an awesome Nola blogger, who writes the cool site, Swank Heights. I snapped this photo of her at the Sophomore show because I was so taken with her yellow dress and owl pin! Isn’t she so chic?

Had enough of Nola talk yet? No? Good, because there’s more to come tomorrow! :) xoxo

I teamed up with Nine West to be a part of their “Must Lust” Espadrille Style Out feature and am loving the leather pair I picked. They are extremely comfortable and seem to go with everything. I really think the weather needs to warm up immediately because these will be perfect with swingy spring dresses and long romantic maxis.

A took these photos last weekend before we headed out to lunch. It was sunny and only a tad chilly. I’m glad we snapped these when we did, because the next day the weather went back to wind and rain. Lucky for me, I am headed out to sunny New Orleans today (!!!) where it is 80 degrees, for their fashion week and will be speaking on a blogger panel along with Keiko and Linsdey about national blogs and local fashion. Woo! But, more on that tomorrow…

In the meantime, check out some more fun photos on Nine West’s facebook page and follow them on twitter! Oh and if you want you should follow me on twitter too! Happy almost Friday! xoxo

my outfit: still stoked about stripes

My Style Pill — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 10:00:18 +0000

It’s nothing new that I love me some stripes, so when I first saw this Breton striped boatneck sweater on one of the mannequins at the Gap, I was immediately in love. I ducked into the store but for the life of me could not find it anywhere! After searching a few more locations, I ended up snagging it at the store on 42nd street, and got it for 40 percent off with a coupon! Score. Upon bringing it home, I immediately starting brainstorming how I was going to wear it. That’s when I saw my striped dress draped on the couch. Bingo! Stripes on stripes! What’s better than that?!

I am going out to dinner with one of my best friends for dinner tonight and think that I will wear this outfit since the weather has been cooperating lately. Happy Friday! Have a lovely weekend. xoxo

P.P. S. Here are some of my favorite bloggers that also loving Breton stripes, plus Jess shares a little history behind the beloved style.

*Kelly from The Glamourai and Krystal from This Time Tomorrow, wear the same top from H&M, two different ways!

* Joanna from A Cup of Jo fancies this light blue version. I think my Mom had a similar top when I was growing up…

my outfit: zac posen for target!

Happy, happy Friday my dearest readers! I couldn’t be more pleased that the weekend is just around the corner. I have lots of fun plans and can’t wait for everything to begin. On another note, it’s been a while since I’ve done an outfit shot up against my beloved brick wall, so I thought, what better time to get back into the swing of things than with a photo of my new Zac Posen (for Target) skirt! I went to his event last night with my friend Faye (her awesome business is, SocialSklz :-)) and we had a blast. There were lots of super cute things, including a very enticing red bathing suit, but I was good and only walked away with this floral skirt. You can’t see this detailing in the photo, but it’s made out of this brocade-like fabric that has shiny gold stitching all throughout, which makes it very festive and fun. I think that I’ll be able to wear this all year round, whether I go with bare legs and sandals or tights and boots. Yay! Lastly, I must comment on the blouse, which is one of my very favorite pieces because of the little white bird print. I’m definitely into the avian theme and apparently so is Kelly from The Glamourai!

P.S. If you live in New York, head to the Zac Posen shopping party now!

P.P.S. Will be posting photos from last night’s party soon so stay tuned!

Blouse: Thrifted, 20Twenty in Ballard, WA

Day and Night: The Maxi Dress

My Style Pill — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 19:09:19 +0000

I was inspired by a look I saw in the most recent Lucky magazine, where they layered a long maxi dress with a blazer and turtleneck. I became intrigued with it and decided to create two looks—one for day, one for night—based around one dress. Here’s what I came up with! Enjoy! SPxx

Today is dreary, rainy and wet, plus it is Wednesday, Hump Day, which can sometimes feel sort of painful. Meaning that, it is the middle of the week, so you know you have made it half way, but then the realization sets in that you still have two more days left until the glorious weekend. Not always a pleasant thought. But, I find that if you are having a hard time pulling yourself out from under the covers when the elements look treacherous, try dressing up in your most favorite or inspiring outfit and it might give you the jumpstart you need, instead of crawling back in for another 10 minute (or in my case today, 30 min!) snooze session. With that said, because this rainy, cold day has made me slightly blue, I decided to perk myself up along with anyone else who is down, with this cute “first week back to work” outfit. Just looking at it makes me want to run home and change into a more spiffier outfit!

I found everything minus the tights and jewelry—which can be switched up with your own accessories—on this awesome shopping website called Pronto.com, where you can find great finds at a better price! Click below!

These boots were made for walking…

My Style Pill — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 18:44:19 +0000

The other night, I went to my dear friend A’s housewarming party in Hoboken, NJ. It was lovely. Her new place that she shares with her boyfriend, is so cute and homey, with all the right touches. We all had a fabulous time and went home feeling very merry. The only glitch in the night had to do with the shoes I chose to wear to and from her house. I’ll be honest, it is quite a jaunt (totally worth it, of course!) from the train station to her actual place, on top of being 30 degrees out. And, my patent leather stilettos did me wrong within five minutes of stepping off the platform. Needless to say, my feet are still suffering. So, I think it is time I took a small break from my sky-high heels, especially in this wintry weather, and invest in some stylish and comfortable flat boots. I scanned the web for relatively affordable options and managed to pull together my favorite choices, complete with black, brown and colored knee high boots. I think next time I decide to walk 25 minutes in the freezing weather to a party, I will wisely pull on my flat shoes, tote my pumps in my purse and sleuthily switch shoes at my final destination.

Seeing that it is getting pretty chilly out there, which of these boots would you wear to keep your toes, ankles and knees warm and comfy through the winter months? SPxx

I have been drooling over these magnificent darlings all weekend. These “Undertoe” slingbacks by Nine West are not particularly new, but they happen to be my new love, and I NEED them. Lucky for me they are on sale…Ninewest.com here I come!
