A Day in the life...



Happy Wednesday loves! I hope you are having a great week. It has been a while since I have done a fashion post. Life has been hectic so I had been focusing on other aspects of the blog. This time of year is always busy for me and my little guy with all of our fun holiday activities.  I always love doing the food posts and showing you fast and easy ways to have a great meal at home,  but I was missing my outfit posts, so here is a classic look with some edgy accessories.  

I love blazers and you can wear them with anything and look pulled together. I am almost embarrassed to admit how many black blazers I own. The one I am wearing is a mens jacket, but bears a striking resemblance to a blazer I purchased from F-21. I own a lot of black blazers, but the shape, cut and fabrics are different on all of them. These shoes have a fun mixed animal print that  I love. The rainy weather we have been having in my neck of the woods, kept me in, but now the weather is nice so I wore this outfit, which works so perfectly for this time of year.

I am almost done holiday shopping. I always shop for loved ones throughout the year when I see a great deal and just save it for Christmas, but I also do a little shopping during the holiday season. Have you started shopping yet? I also make a lot of gifts from my kitchen and we all love a good treat right? LOL

 I am not sure how I would describe these shoes, but they instantly caught my eye when I bought them a few years ago.
I love fun accessories, I think they work if you pair it with the right clothes.
I love the holidays, but like a lot of women, the decadent eating puts lots of extra curves on me that I didn't ask for:-)

  15. LV, what I love you about you is that you will find something classic, but will not settle for ordinary. These beautiful shoes are a perfect example of that. Your eye for detail extends to every aspect of your life.

    My holiday shopping is coming along very well but this weekend is devoted to starting baking!
