I love wish lists, but haven’t really created a Christmas version for myself this year. But when I was asked by Kenneth Cole to make a wish list at their site, I thought it would be fun to choose from some of the great gifts, such as these beauties above. You all should do it too…it takes about five minutes and is a lot of fun. See my full wish list here! You can also check out what Joe Zee, Taylor Sterling and Karla Deras are wishing for this year!
Remember this girl’s adorable outfit? Well, I recreated it except with my own twist…I wore the rust-colored piece on the bottom and the neutral color up top. But, you get the gist. On another note, I think part of my winter uniform is going to involve ankle boots. I never used to think I could pull them off, but when worn with socks or jeans, they are a pretty cute and easy way to look good and still be comfortable.
Here are a few favorite ankle boots that I found on the cool new shopping site, Style Find. Loving this chic pair by Tory Burch, this cozy pair by BCBG and this military-inspired pair by Nine West. xoxo

I have had my eye out for a pretty red blouse for the holidays and am perfectly pleased with ModCloth’s version of this silky bow tie top. I foresee wearing this cheery number under blazers, dresses or on it’s own with a skirt, tights and heels. For this ensemble, I was in the mood for a mix: a little girliness up top (in the form of a bow and pearls) and some spiciness on the bottom (my new leather skinnies and leopard belt), to create the perfect outfit hybrid.
***I also highly recommend checking out their cute gift guides and pretty party dresses for this holiday season.***
A little sugar, a little spice, all is well, all is nice.

I’m a rebel without a cause, and that’s the truth. But really, I’m a goodie-goodie and always will be. That’s all there is to it, and if you’re reading, A, I hope you still heart me. :)
P.S. This is our 1984 Volvo station wagon that was “my car” that I drove in high school and college, and both my Dad and I have soft spot for it, which is why it’s been resurrected three times…xoxo
P.P.S If you are just catching up now, check out remix one and two!
RayBan Aviators / Gap Faux Fur Stole / Charlotte Russe Necklace and Bracelets / Vintage Belt / Banana Republic Sweater / Vintage Blazer (Mo’s Vintage) / Poetrie “The Catriona Skirt” / ModCloth Tights / Aldo Shoes (c/o)
Welcome to remix #2. I saw this blazer on Mo’s Vintage, the sister etsy shop of Clyde’s Rebirth, and immediately knew I had to have it. When a good blazer comes along, you just have to swoop it up. It arrived in the mail wrapped in a vintage scarf (such a sweet touch) with a sweet note from Merl, the owner. Isn’t it the most perfect shade of red?
For this remix challenge I decided to keep the tights the same throughout in order to show how versatile polka-dots can be regardless of your style. As for the skirt, I love how there is a pretty purple in the plaid, but I decided to use contrasting colors such as maroon, blue, and beige as complimentary accents to change things up a bit.
P.S. Check out how Merl wore her feathers from my sponsor, Plume Your Hair! xoxo

I think this might be my very first post on a Saturday, and I kind of like the idea of it. I’m not sure how many of you read blogs on the weekends, but I hope you’ll come and visit!
This is my new skirt from Poetrie that I posted about yesterday. I waited patiently for it to arrive in the mail and couldn’t wait to do this remix challenge to show all the different ways it could be worn. I think that my style varies and I am a little bit of a chameleon, but, for the most part I like to mix a little preppy with classic along with some rock and roll. So, I broke it down into those three categories. Today, I give you preppy schoolgirl, complete with a beanie, knee socks and nerd chic glasses!
These are my very favorite tights from ModCloth. Sadly, these aren’t available for purchase anymore, but here are some cute alternatives.

Check back tomorrow to see my “classic version” remix of this skirt!

Yesterday was like Christmas had come early. I received a ton of boxes on our front stoop and among the goods were a pair of Seychelle booties from Gilt Groupe and some lovely goodies from APART style, including this dress (worn as a top) and this reversible vest. So, with the final day of the remix challenge upon me, it was only natural to want to incorporate a few of these fantastic pieces into my overall look. And let me tell you, this outfit was a whole lot of fun to wear and traipse around in. I felt very glamourous and demure.
However, after reading this cheeky blog written up in the New York Times yesterday, I learned that apparently my drapey/eclectic ensemble was actually a “Man Repeller” outfit. Ha! Pretty funny actually. I mean, if you think about it, most styles and outfits that we gals like, our boys are not always in favor of. Because let’s be honest, I have all the fixings here for an outfit that my guy might not appreciate so much, i.e. loose fitting clothing, long sleeves and multiple layers, plus nerd chic glasses and a hipster chic headpiece. A, are you reading? What do you think of this look? (Actually, I am really lucky, because he appreciates my style, and wants me to wear what makes me happy, even if it’s not his favorite thing.) Personally, I sort of love this outfit. It makes me feel like I belong on a a boat in the 1920’s floating down the Nile River.
As for the turban look, it’s new for me, but I have been wanting to try it for a while now. I knew it was time when Laney gifted me this chic Mike Gonzalez head-wrap the day I left for Seattle, and I think I’m diggin’ it. Thoughts? Don’t forget to head on over to Krystal’s blog to check out her version of this maxi dress remix!
***Special announcement…I will be posting more on the weekends while in Seattle, so make sure to check back on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the rest of December!***
