Favorite Looks of the week

There are certain times when I ‘give some serious thought to thanking my lucky stars I’m in Texas’ (Goode Co. reference for all you Houstonians out there!), and this week was one of them. I watched on the news as snow piled up stories high in Boston, and women ran around the streets of NYC in haute couture, freezing their butts off! We felt a dip in the weather at the beginning of the week in Houston, but are back in the high 60s towards the end.

The only sad part about the very intermittent cold weather (and this is me scrambling for cons) is that you don’t really buy a lot of fancy outerwear, as it isn’t required or worn for more than a week or two. So as I looked from blog to blog at girls in their gorgeous faux-fur vests, I felt a tinge of jealousy. Then, I saw that Maya of My Life as Maya wore one in California (post here), and I thought to myself, ‘I can still get one!’ So voila, enter vest shopping! Here are some of my favorite decently priced vests.



My most favorite looks this week are probably Maya’s because I adore her floral blazer and Rachel’s because how-the-heck does she look so good pregnant? Which of these looks is your favorite?

In case you missed it, check out my ‘10 things you may not know about me‘ post from earlier this week – there may be some surprises in it! Have a great weekend! xo

Favorite Looks of the Week

I’ve seen lots of black and white this week in the fashion blog world, and I love it. I wear mostly neutrals nowadays, which is very different than what I wore a few years ago when I was completely Anthro-obsessed (still love Anthropologie, but I don’t shop there as often). When I write the Favorite Looks of the Week post every Friday, I try to include a variety of fashion bloggers – not just the same ten week in and week out. I’ve added a few new bloggers this week – Amy of Dallas Wardrobe and Lauren of LOLO Magazine. I love both of their styles so much.

Which of these looks is your favorite? Are there other fashion bloggers I need to check out to include in my weekly roundup?

Favorite Looks of the Week

Thank goodness it’s Friday! Seriously. This week has been very busy with Serbian Christmas Eve church service in Galveston, a very festive Serbian Christmas celebration and planning a wedding shower at our house in two weeks, and I’m so ready to have Sasha at home to help this weekend. With that said, we’re heading to Austin for a day trip to celebrate his cousin’s Slava (a celebration of one’s Saint – described on the blog a few years ago here). Our house might have Christmas decorations up for quite a bit longer at this rate!

It’s cold in Texas right now (well, Texas cold… which is 40 degrees), so I need as much layering fashion inspiration as possible. My two favorite looks this week are Blaire Eadie’s and Julia Engel’s – these ladies can do no wrong. The other eight in my top ten are spot-on too. Which look is your favorite? Do you have big weekend plans?

Three NYE Looks for Under $250

NYE

It’s hard to get your mind past Christmas when it’s only a few days away, but New Years Eve celebrations quickly follow, and it’s best to think ahead when it comes to the big outfit.

With all of the money spent on holiday gifts, the last thing I need to do is spend a fortune on a NYE outfit. I’ve put together three looks (dress, shoes, purse and jewelry) for under $250. My favorite look is first one with the neutral pinks and tans, but I love the pop of pink in the second and the sassy animal print Kate Spade dress in the third.

Favorite Looks of the Week

This week has seriously been a whirlwind, and I didn’t have much time to peruse my favorite fashion blogs until Thursday night after Isla had gone to bed. My gosh – I love fall fashion. I die over Blair Eadie’s skirt, Rachel Parcell’s red coat, and Lauren Murphy’s sequined top (all linked below).

These ten favorite looks of the week all make me want to go shopping, which is not a wise idea right now after ordering a million Christmas gifts for family and friends. I went to buy a dress for Isla’s Christening, but after trying on a million and not being satisfied (a milk-filled chest creates cleavage in everything – not a fan!), I decided to wear a dress from one of my wedding showers. It’s classy and conservative, and I’m glad to get another wear out of it.

Which of these fabulous looks is your favorite? Hope you have had a great week so far! xo
