Pumpkin Spice

 Happy Tuesday! Have you recovered from all of that good super bowl Sunday eating?  LOL. One of the things I love about this time of year is pumpkin spice lattes. Don't you wish they had them all year long? it is almost time to say goodbye to all of those things we love about winter, including wearing coats, capes and a a killer pair of boots. My love of bold fiery colors drew my eye to this lovely orange cape that I saw at TJ Maxx a few years ago. Yes, it was love at first sight! And the best part was that I was able to go into my stash of birthday gift cards and treat myself to this cape.

Cape: TJ Maxx, Bag: Vintage Ralph Lauren, Boots: DSW, Bracelet: Heavenly Couture

Don't you love a great pair of boots?

Capes are perfect for cooler weather, when you want a great layering option and an alternative to a jacket

Today I am linking up with the lovely fashionistas over at DC in Style and Style Elixir. Click the links if you want to join the fun:-)

I am loving this shade of blue. What colors do you like to wear on your nails?

I have always loved Ralph Lauren and I just parted with two amazing Ralph Lauren button down shirts after getting fifteen years of wear out of them. The only reason I got rid of them is because I wore them so much the threads were starting to unravel. The great thing about investing in timeless pieces of clothing is that you can wear them year after year and they never go out of style or look dated and good quality clothing lasts for a very long time. 

Although I do believe in quality clothing, I also think that you can look great without spending a fortune on clothes. Good style has nothing to do with how much money you spend on your wardrobe, but is more about the way you put your various pieces together.

Have an amazing day! And the best week ever!

Blue + Orange and White =Taupe

Happy Monday loves! How is your week starting off? In my neck of the woods, we are having summer weather, so I am enjoying wearing things I would normally wear in spring or summer. Sometimes I wish I could buy more fabulous statement coats, but with warm weather year round, they would be a waste of money, so I cherish the ones I have. I have been feeling like I need a blog vacation. Do you ever feel like that? I cannot believe I have been blogging almost three years. Wow! the time went by so fast. To celebrate the blog anniversary in February, there will be a pretty awesome giveaway.

The one thing I have not enjoyed about entering giveaways is all the hoops you have to jump through to enter and for that reason, this one is going to be simple and there will be three winners to celebrate the three years. Only current followers have the option of winning the grand prize and the other two winners are eligible for the secondary prize. So there is an opportunity for old and new readers, YAY!

Do you like giveaways? Do you ever enter them?

I have been playing with colors, patterns and textures and putting things together that I normally would not put together, like this orange and white shirt paired with this blue blazer. What do you think?

Blue Blazer: H&M, Orange and White Shirt: JC Penney, Jeans: Metro, Bag: Sharif, Taupe Booties: Urban Original, Bracelets: Indian Boutique, Chain Necklace: F-21

I love that these booties are comfortable. I can walk blocks and blocks without my feet hurting, but I have plenty of shoes that make my feet hurt after walking a block or two, so I tend to keep flats in my purse when I wear them.

This bag is such a great shade of blue and looks good with just about every color of the rainbow

I love the color and patterns on these bracelets. It might be a little matchy matchy, but I loved how they looked with this blue blazer. If you like bracelets like this, you can find them in Indian Clothing Boutiques.

Do you live in a climate where you get to wear amazing coats?

Have an amazing day!
