I'll admit, it was a selfish move and I do greatly apologize for the lack of warning. Do you forgive me?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">{insert puppy dog-like eyes here}</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Never fear, however, as I am alive and well. Just exceptionally busy! You see last year I embarked on the final year of my MBA (sweet Jesus, I thought the day would never come!), and much to my surprise I did survive to see the Sunday morning that does </span><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">not</i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> involve Managerial Economics with classmates at the local Starbucks. But, instead of taking a break after graduation, I decided to jump straight into my next big adventure. So, in July of last year I fulfilled a lifelong goal... I opened my own boutique!</span><br />

Welcome back, dear readers! I hope you enjoyed the holidays and welcomed in the New Year with the ones you love. After finishing up finals (all A's!), the hubbie and I flew to North Carolina to enjoy a few relaxing days with my family.<br />
<br />
Every time I travel, I enjoy coming home just as much as I enjoy leaving. But, nothing beats coming home to find packages waiting for me. Dear readers, you've been with me long enough to know that I <b>love</b> a good scarf. So, imagine my happiness to find this beautiful scarf sitting on my doorstep when we arrived home, courtesy of <a href="http://scarvesbymaria.com/default.aspx">Scarves by Maria</a>. Made of the softest silk and dripping with color, this beautiful piece compliments just about everything in my closet. The other aspect of this scarf that I adore is that fact that it was hand crafted. Maria designs and hand paints each of her works in her basement turned studio. unique. handmade. wearable art. Count me in!<br />

It's a little ridiculous how much I love this time of year. Every year I come home on Thanksgiving night and begin putting up decorations. I'm usually by myself in this endeavor as my husband is sacked out on the couch after a long day of eating. It doesn't matter though, I love it that much. Our house is already festively attired and I love sitting in our dimly lit living room with a fire in the fire place, looking at the twinkling white lights. Now, if I could just finish up the semester, it's off to my parents house to enjoy the holidays!<br />

If there's one thing I enjoy, it's the thrill of a good vintaging trip. For the last two days I have been dreaming of stopping by my favorite thrift store after work, but no such luck. The joy of long hours of work, lots of deadlines and family coming into town for the holidays has left me without a vintaging trip. Oh well, I have lot of shopping excitement to look forward to this weekend :)<br />

That afternoon I was delighted to meet with jewelry designer and owner of her self named jewelry line, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SierraWinterDesigns">Sierra Winter Designs</a>.<br />
<br />
I met Sierra at her studio, a bright and airy space that her father helped her create in her home. I was immediately greeted with turquoise, chunky polished stones and silver chains scattered across a sunlit workbench. Her work is a beautiful collection of delicate silver pieces intertwined with southwest-inspired elements. I loved being in her workspace. Sketches, inspirational photos and an earthly, southwestern influence filled the space. I spent an hour snapping photos and chatting with Sierra, and left feeling completely inspired. Not to mention completely enamored with her work. Etsy shop, custom orders and a line soon to grace boutiques in Kansas City... this is one designer to keep your eyes on.<br />

Now, I love styling the newest trends as much as the next fashionsita, but let's face it... there really isn't anything any better than a good pair of riding boots and a classic trench. Earlier this week I was perusing the web (yes, I have a tendency to do <a href="http://theflipsideofoz.blogspot.com/search/label/online%20shopping">that</a> from time to time), when I ran across a lovely little shop called <a href="http://www.emersonmade.com/">EmersonMade</a>. It was love at first sight. How can you not love the owner, Emerson, and her oh-so-adorable flower pins (see example in red above)? She recently came out with a line of clothing with which I am completely smitten. I love the old school, high waisted denim <a href="http://www.emersonmade.com/collections/em-clothing-line/products/em-old-schools">jeans</a>. Albeit, they are a tad expensive (for me), but so classic and would last for so long. I am strongly considering....shopgracieb.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04351546779292626434noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005769419611132837.post-54387196690946520472010-11-08T05:00:00.000-06:002010-11-08T05:00:04.825-06:00Pocahontas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiuTakkY8ro90F3PufkmZnU3cc7wxZTwrYbDXdlg0uJsKTa_DKlS4dtIKftfG-U4Lc7Rd07QFvxVZ00Vf7B6QNjexK-aBeRkpAcfDU2wZG6riAzjRNR8NI_PKFfgG9BnnsgHlMx8Vq9BZU/s1600/100_6125+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="708" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiuTakkY8ro90F3PufkmZnU3cc7wxZTwrYbDXdlg0uJsKTa_DKlS4dtIKftfG-U4Lc7Rd07QFvxVZ00Vf7B6QNjexK-aBeRkpAcfDU2wZG6riAzjRNR8NI_PKFfgG9BnnsgHlMx8Vq9BZU/s640/100_6125+copy.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>Some accessories are so good that they just have to be worn again and again. That's how I feel about <a href="http://theflipsideofoz.blogspot.com/2010/11/unexpected-bling.html">this</a> scarf. Yes, it's the same scarf. Instead of wrapping it around twice, I tied the ends together so that it would hang longer. If you have long hair, this technique works well regardless of how you tie it because it won't be seen. If you have shorter hair, you'll probably have to play with it a little to make the knot look pretty. Regardless, I love the dramatic effect tying it this way has on an outfit. For this scarf in particular, the colors are perfect for fall, the sequins are right on trend and the tribal print looks great with my comfy moccasins. The result was a cute and relaxing Sunday afternoon outfit!<br />

It makes me feel cozy and happy. Like sitting in front of a warm fire with a huge blanket enjoying a good book. See, wasn't that a nice thought to have on a Friday?<br />
<br />
To get you all prepped and ready to enjoy a cozy weekend, here are a few lovely, cozy items. I would love to wear any of these... and, probably all at once!<br />

It wasn't so long ago that I was donning maxi dresses and sandals, and scurrying around town in my convertible. While the dog days of summer may be behind us, I'm still not over one habit. I am still seeing and loving maxi dresses. Fortunately, there still remains a selection of fall-appropriate options to choose from. I especially love the plaid <a href="http://www.freepeople.com/clothes-dresses-maxi/nicholas-k-check-trapeze-dress/">dress</a> from Free People on the top right corner.<br />

But, this outfit kind of reminds me of that saying - business jacket on top, party shoes on the bottom. There's nothing I love more than a good blazer, and the metallic booties really jazz the whole ensemble up. Speaking of which, don't you love it when you find a good steal that actually looks trendy the following season? That has been my luck with these BCBG booties. I actually purchased these two or three years ago at the end of Winter for a mere $25. I wasn't sure if they would look trendy or ridiculous in the following years, but I liked them at the time and decided the price was right. Fortunately, similar silhouettes and styles in booties have continued strong and I still sport them proudly. </div><br />
Happy Hump Day!<br />

The sequins paired with a tribal print are the perfect combination of laid back glam. Give me some textured tights and a corduroy skirt and I'm in heaven.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Fortunately for me, this season has been loaded with lots of beautiful options from ribbon adorned chains to large faux rhinestones (a la J. Crew) to vintage detailing. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

What I love most about this shop is how the owner and designer, Maureen, incorporates unique, vintage pieces into all of her work. Whether that is an over-the-top vintage earring mounted to become a <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/50280047/reserved">ring</a> or a vintage <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/42599293/ooak-versatile-silver-vintage-pendant">broach</a> embellishing several layers of beautiful chains. I was so delighted with the Vintage Crystal Cascade necklace she sent me that I completely lost track of time on Sunday while snapping these photos! I can already envision all of the ways I’m going to wear this necklace in the upcoming months. With layered sweaters and crisp button downs during the day, cocktail dresses for Holiday parties, faux fur… the options are endless! However, my hours on Sunday were not.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</div>Last week was a crazy week, which meant this weekend was filled with homework, photo taking, laundry and all the other things I missed during the week. This outfit was actually from last Thursday. Layering is probably my favorite part of getting dressed during the Fall/Winter seasons. I will keep a cardi like this one from Kohl's readily available from now until March.<br />
<br />
In other news... the bangs are back! Thoughts, feelings, emotions? I wasn't gonna, but I went in for a trim and some low lights and decided to complete the look. I'm kinda diggin' it was the waves. We'll see how long they last. We've always had an on-again/off-again, love/hate relationship.<br />

This weekend my goal is to get caught up because this week has been a very sartorially satisfying week! For now, I have one last leftover outfit photo from the collection to share. I'm still lovin' the Modcloth <a href="http://theflipsideofoz.blogspot.com/2010/09/raise-your-head-high-and-strut-what-ya.html">skirt</a> I purchased last month. Despite being floral, the colors work well for Fall. Paired with my fav riding boots and I'm set. <br />

I have several great outfits to share with you, but no time to shoot photos! Ugh! Here is an outfit that I gave you a sneak peek of from our anniversary <a href="http://theflipsideofoz.blogspot.com/2010/10/what-ive-learned-in-1-year.html">trip</a>. Like I mentioned earlier this week, I'm slightly in love with <a href="http://theflipsideofoz.blogspot.com/2010/10/plaid-leggings-outfit-love.html">plaid</a> right now. And, I stalked these boots on Nordstroms.com last fall until I couldn't stand it any longer! Luckily for me, we're still in love :)<br />
<br />
Happy Hump Day, everyone! Thankful a week full of chaos is beginning its slow descent to Friday. Any plans for the weekend? Is it bad that I'm already dreaming of sleeping in on Saturday morning?<br />

I love season changes. Partially because I feel like I get to reinvent my wardrobe. I have noticed that every time we go through a season change I create a new go-to outfit for myself. And, so far for this fall plaid and leggings, plus booties/boots has been <b>it</b>. So, I didn't even have to think twice when I found this cute little shirt dress at Old Navy<b> </b>last Friday. In fact, I didn't even go into the dressing room. Sometimes you just know, so why bother?<br />

For instance, in this picture I look happy because I'm smiling, when in reality my allergies are killing me! Deception is also the number of hours I thought I would get back this week due to being on fall break. Wrong... again. It is for these two reasons that I don't have many pictures to show today. Like my fellow bloggers out there, I'm having a hard time adjusting to photos in darker lighting since the sun is now going down earlier. So, I'll leave with you two that actually flatter the outfit and don't show my annoyance with mother nature.<br />

Which is actually not too far from being a true statement. I am constantly on the go and thinking about my next destination. I prefer not to stay-put for too long, because I don't want to miss out on anything. Not that permanence is always bad (I do <i>love</i> being married). It's just that there is so much to see and do in the world, why not explore as much as possible?<br />
<br />
Well, this outfit reminds me of that wise woman's statement. I see the nomad, the wanderer, the woman with her huge bag of tricks ready to take on the world. I like it... a nomad.<br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">To say that the hubbs and I had an amazing time this past weekend might be a slight understatement. However, returning home has been less than stellar. Our <s>kids</s> dogs keep getting out of the backyard, we both have ridiculous amounts of work piling up, and as a result we have been slightly crabby towards one another all week. Welcome to life and marriage. If there's one thing I've learned in the past year it's that they're not kidding when they tell you it's for better or worse. But, if you work at it, the better does out weigh the worse. So while I cope with returning to reality this week I choose to focus on the better, which are some very fond memories from this weekend. This is including but not limited to: zip lining (which sadly I have <b>no </b>pictures of), a helicopter ride, 2 bottles of wine, a bird's eye view with a hot tub, beautiful surroundings and some great company.</div></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
