Silver and Gold

Christmas is pretty much here and I'm packing my bags to head to North Carolina tomorrow.
I'm so excited that I will be spending Christmas with my family.
I got these awesome silver leggings at H&M a few weeks ago and thought they were perfect for the
Holiday Season.










Outfit
Top: Thrifted from Goodwill see it HERE
Leggings: H&M $22 a fashion STEELE!
Bag: Thrifted see it worn differently HERE
Shoes: Vera Wang Lavender
Corss Ring: ASOS
Sunnies: Spitfire see them differently HERE
Necklace: Aldo

This long velvet tee is one of my favorite tops that a scored a few months back at Goodwill for just $6! It will definitely come in handy during the winter months as a layering piece.
I also love mixing silver clothing with gold accessories such as my Aldo necklace and my ASOS cross ring. I'm a sucker for gold accessories. Check out my necklace collection HERE and my favorite place to get accessories in NY at Jewelry Plaza.

I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and stay tuned for a Give Away real soon.

the $15 faux fur cape

My $15 faux fur cape from Goodwill is most certainly coming in handy now.
I am so inlove with it and Goodwill for providing me with such a fashion STEELE!
This was the first day I took my little darling for a spin and she enjoyed it!









Outfit
Top: Ali & Kris via Loehmanns
Jeans: Free People
Booties: Sole Society see more of my collection HERE
Faux Fur: Vintage Terry Lewis via Goodwill see it HERE a fashion STEELE at $15!

This cape is so lush! I really like the color of it too because it can go with just about everything. See my other favorite Eileen Fisher Cape. I'm gearing up to visit my home town in North Carolina for Christmas. I'm so excited to see my family but I hate that the airlines are such jerks during the holidays. My ticket cost me half a million dollars! UGH! But atleast I will get to spend Christmas with my family. Last year I was unable to. Check out my post from last Christmas!

what are you all doing for the holidays?

white dress and shiny shoes















Outfit
Dress: H&M $24.99
Shoes: Forever 21 $22 fashion STEELE!
Bag: Thrifted from Goodwill $4
Glasses: Swapped at my Shop & Swap Event

I'm into the baby doll dress look now. I wore a similar one to the Fashionable Fridays Event. I like how long they make my legs look because they are so short lol. I've been rocking these patent leather flats for the past 2 weeks everywhere. They are super easy to dress up or down. Why did it take me so long to jump on the flats wagon?

What do you all think of the babydoll dress trend?
In other news is any one else as ready as I am for Fall and fashion week???? OMG I have been scowering the internet trying to find the perfect outfits! Shop Style is a great website because what ever you are looking for...you can find it there!
Stay tuned...I have been shoe shopping like a maniac.
Dont forget to enter to win an invite to the Rebecca Minkoff Fall Preview Event HERE.

I guess I like Fall but I hate the Winter in NYC. I've started to go ahead and get ready for the inevitable. I did a little thrift shopping this past weekend and got some amazing pieces for a hell of a low price.
Since the chain stores arent ready for Winter yet...I got my thrift on.









Velvet Zara Blazer $12.99
Vintage Faux Fur Cape $14.99
Velvet T-Shirt Dress $5.99

Thanks Goodwill...you are one of my favorites!
Can you all see I'm on a velvet kick?
