Inspiration Board . . . errr Rack

I've been so caught up in my new job, I haven't had time or energy to blog. Well, here I am, ready to try again. And what better way than with some new inspiration!

It may be cold and rainy here in Atlanta, but I am so excited about the new spring colors, I decided to create an Inspiration Rack. You can tell I am all about bright, bold colors mixed with fun patterns like leopard, polka dots, and stripes.

What is inspiring you for spring? Do you use a board, or do you create a rack like I do? Next task, blog all the outfits I can make out of these pieces! Stay tuned dear readers -- more to come!

Sorry I've Been Away

Sorry I've been away. Life has been crazy! Holiday in the retail world! Trips to visit friends!  Big promotions! I'm back though, and I'm asking for a new camera for Christmas. Hope the pics will improve.

In the meantime, I stumbled upon the most beautiful fall foliage here in Atlanta! While it's still in the low 60's, I like to break out the faux fur once the temp drops below 70!

Fall Style Tip: Never be afraid to wear faux fur, no matter how casual the outfit!

Vest: Esley from Festivity. Sweater: Sparkle & Fade, Urban Oufitters. Leggings: American Apparel.

Lazy Saturday

I am so sorry I haven't posted in a week. It was a crazy week at work topped off with an overnight on Friday. Saturday was a LAZY day, but my sweet husband still wanted to take me out to dinner that night.

Loving a little sequin sweatshirt paired with a pair of expertly worn-in slouchy skinnies! I may always be in a heel, but a lazy saturday calls for a comfy flat -- as long as it's a leopard flat.

Happy Hunting

Introducing Lucille!

When I got dressed this morning, I had to chuckle at the modern girl's take on a hunting outfit. Wearing my favorite camo jeggings (so, ridiculously soft) with a bright orange blazer! You can't miss me in the woods . . . were I to ever actually go into the woods.

This is also my first post with Lucille, my new Speedy. It's the first time I have ever spent a RI-DICULOUS amount of money on a bag, but she will only appreciate over time. At least, that's how I am justifying it.

Blazer: J Crew. Tee: GAP. Jeggings: GAP. Shoes: Corso Como. Bag: Louis Vuitton. Jewelry: Tourneau, Tiffany, J Crew, vintage

Death by Suburb

Loving these "flat-forms." So comfy!

Spent a lazy Sunday at my sister's house deep in the burbs of Atlanta. I loved my "lazy Sunday" outfit, but my husband thought it might be a little much . . . I just say it's my version of jeans and a tee shirt!

Shirt: Urban Outfitters, Jeans: Current Elliot, Shoes: Sabine, Jewelry: GAP, H&M, Tourneau, Tiffany, Lia Sophia

Elle-Mazing

Dear readers, I have blogged before of my love of fashion magazines. It is no secret. Cut to me on my lunch break at work yesterday. I was sitting at my favorite little bistro in the mall, and I opened my October issue of Elle. I was thumbing past the Letters to the Editor page and landed on the Blogger Banter page.

Reading through the "banter," I stumbled upon MY OWN BLOG POST!! Imagine my excitement! If you were sitting in the restraunt, you don't have to imagine -- you heard me squealing. Here my blog was, printed on Elle's pages for the world to see! I am now one step closer to one of my ultimate fashion dreams: meeting Joe Zee!

Thank you Elle for making a dream come true!
