that's classic

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 that from time to time), when I ran across a lovely little shop called EmersonMade. 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 jeans. Albeit, they are a tad expensive (for me), but so classic and would last for so long. I am strongly considering....

get cozy!

I know I've said about it before, but I'll say it again... my favorite part of the Fall/Winter season is wearing lots of layers.  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?

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!

1. Cable Knit Tights, Topshop $24
2. Cable Knit Wrap Cardigan, American Eagle $90
3. let's get away knee high riding boots, Ruche $44
4. Soy Latte Cardigan, Modcloth $60
5. Country Soul Dress, Modcloth $50
6. Pink Studio "Geneva" bowtie tweed flats, Ruche $77
7. Pink Studio "Junnet" peep toe wedges, Ruche $95
8. Fossil "Vintage Reissue" Satchel, Nordstroms $178
9. Sorial "Tanya" Suede Drawstring Hobo, Nordstroms $188
10. Grey Horses Cardigan, Modcloth $70

like a kid at Christmas!

I was feelin' all kinds of girly and wonderful this weekend when I purchased these two beautiful skirts from Modcloth for $10 each! I can't even tell you how excited I get about receiving packages in the mail. This week I have literally been stalking the mail carrier. I'm already imagining tanks and cardigans with bare legs and flats now, and then booties, tights and sweaters when the weather turns cooler. 

It's Worth It

American Summer Classic by gleighb featuring Marc by Marc Jacobs bags

Lately, Polyvore has served as a creative outlet for me to enjoy styling clothes without going out and buying them (this can be an expensive habit!).  However, I do think that I need to recreate an actual version of this outfit before the 4th of July.  I have to believe that at least the romper would be worth the investment - it's classic, all American and I saw one at Target last weekend and didn't buy it and have been thinking about it ever since.  Usually when I lust over clothes, it's a sign... okay, I'm not kidding anyone.  I lust over clothes all the time.  But, at least I know I won't have buyers remorse!

Happy Hump Day, dear readers! This week has been a busy one. I've got some pretty cool stuff in the pipeline, but it will probably be next week before I get a chance to share.  So, I thought I'd leave you with some outfit photos that I found on my computer. I took these a couple of weekends ago. You might remember this dress from here - which got me thinking. . .  I have noticed that despite a somewhat decent size collection of clothes I have a tendency to wear some of the same articles of clothing repeatedly. One, because I genuinely love them and two, because there are certain pieces in my wardrobe that my mind has decided should be reserved for specific events.  This comes despite the fact that I would love to wear said pieces on a more routine basis.  I thought The Clothes Horse discussed this topic quite nicely yesterday, and I couldn't agree with her more. So please tell me dear readers, what do you do to avoid neglecting certain articles of clothing in your wardrobe?
