Magnificent Metallics








I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm all about a good set of neutrals, but I always feel the need to add a little something extra. And let me tell you, these shoes do NOT disappoint. They add the perfect amount of metallic shine to any outfit and are super comfy. You all know I have a boot addiction (aka I own a ridiculous amount of booties) - but I didn't have any metallic pairs until now and boy was I missing out! I wear these shoes all the time - and bonus, they pair perfectly with gold glitter. 

Obviously I had to pair it with this gorgeous tassel necklace from my friend Sophia over at Something About Sophia and my all time favorite glitter clutch!

And I have good news! I'm doing a Black Friday Giveaway with CC Corso Como on my Instagram tonight! You could win a pair of CC Corso Como shoes of your choice! There will be 2 winners - be sure to head to my Instagram account to enter!

The Peach Box



Anyone else obsessed with trendy jewelry, but not the hefty price tags? I feel like my taste in jewelry changes every year - so why spend crazy amounts of money on modern pieces when you don't have to?! The Peach Box is an Australian based jewelry company that offers just that - affordable, fashion forward pieces. My newest addiction is ear jackets. I can't get enough! These Pearl Crescent Earrings are the perfect twist on a classic staple, and the Luxe Double Crystal Earrings add just the right amount of bling. Be sure to check out The Peach Box and amp up your jewelry game!

Pattern Mixing 101













 In case you haven't already noticed - I'm pattern addicted. I love mixing different prints and textures, but the key is to keep it balanced. I typically only mix two bold prints (in this case, plaid and leopard) and then keep the rest of my outfit fairly neutral. But it's so hard to find neutral shoes that aren't super boring. But, thanks to Restricted Shoes, I finally found the perfect pair! The color is perfection and the little buckles on the sides keep them fashion forward. 

And let's talk about these earrings. I'm completely obsessed with ear jackets! These pearl ear jackets are from The Peach Box and are absolute perfection! Pearls are always classy, but these earrings add a little edge. Shop this look below! (PS - Use code "GLITTER25"for 25% off at restrictedshoes.com)

Taupe{ally} in Love






 I might have a ton of booties - but there has always been a gap in my collection. I didn't have ANY taupe booties! Shocking, I know. I've been on the hunt for the perfect pair for years now, with no luck. But the search has finally ended! These little beauties from Restricted Shoes have officially filled my taupe bootie void. They are super comfortable and seriously go with everything! The heel is a perfect height, and I love that the laces make them a little more casual for everyday wear.

I paired them with this fun, pleated metallic skirt, striped top and (as always) my go-to military vest. Perfect for the fall weather! And if you head over to Restricted Shoes - don't forget to use code "GLITTER25" for 25% off your purchase! Shop this look below.

Never Enough Sparkle




Anyone else sick of crazy heavy earrings? I love statement pieces, but I'm always afraid they'll stretch out my ears! So, once I got an email from Brinley and Co, I was 100% interested. Earrings made out of leather? I was slightly skeptical - but as soon as I put them on, I became a leather believer! They hang well, still make a statement and are SO light that I even forget I'm wearing them. And the best part - no stretched out earlobes at the end of the day!

And on another note - this scarf is only $14.50 and is the softest scarf you'll ever own. So if you're looking for new blanket scarves this fall, be sure to check it out! Get all the outfit details below.

Mad Men





Any Mad Men lovers out there? Second to Gossip Girl - I would have to say that they have the best fashion! I've always loved the classic dresses, clean lines, and you ALL know I love a good red lip. Well, rejoice all Mad Men addicts because I have found THE dress for you! Karina Dresses offers a great selection of classic, gorgeous dresses for those of you who, like me, wish you could live in the 60's. The wrap silhouette is flattering on all figures and you can never go wrong with polka dots in my opinion. So go ahead and channel your inner Betty Draper. Shop this look below!

I know I've said this before - but I love when I can combine my love for fashion with my love for Jesus. I've found another incredible company who allows me to do just that! Clothed in Strength has adorable workout gear (like this tank) that serves as a fashion statement, but also allows you to be a light for the Lord. Not gonna lie...since grad school started, I haven't been the best at working out. But I decided to wear mine while I was out and about running errands this weekend! I threw this (incredibly) comfy hoodie on over it, swiped on a red lip, grabbed my Keds and I was ready to go! Shop this look below!
