Glitter Bow Heels

Dress: BCBGeneration (similar) | Denim Jacket: Forever 21 (opposite dip dye, but similar) | Glitter Heels: Steve Madden (similar high end, similar low end) | Bracelet: J.Crew

This outfit has to be on one of my faves. I mean.. the pretty chiffon like material of this BCBGeneration dress billows beautifully in the wind and how could glitter bow heels not just bring an instant smile to your face! If I was forced to wear the same black shirt and jeans I’d do so happily if I could select from an endless supply of shoes. Like I said on Monday’s post shoes, they’ll always be my first love and glittery bow heels I’m going to keep rocking them with everything from sweats to dresses!

Is it Fall yet? Flannel from Summer to Fall

Red Trouve Buffalo Plaid Shirt | Gap Cut-Off Shorts (similar) | Frye Jane Trapunto Bootie | Michael Kors Watch | Carrera Sunglasses | J.Crew and Jessica Simpson Bracelets

Is it Fall yet? Shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary sale this past week has me all ready for Fall weather, rich colors, leggings, boots and dark nail polish. This red plaid flannel and Frye Jane boots scream fall, but I decided to break them in a tad bit early because quite frankly I just couldn’t wait to wear them.

The light material of this flannel makes it a perfect transitional piece from Summer to Fall. I can pair it with shorts, skirts and over short dresses for now and when the colder weather hits, I’ll rock some leggings, skinny jeans and maxi dresses with this free flowing flannel.   What are y’all waiting to wear this Fall?

[Pinspiration] Wide Leg Denim

BCBG Generation Top | Gap Wide Leg Denim Trousers | Louis Vuitton Speedy

This weeks Friday’s Fancies outfit crush theme had me thinking all about wide leg denim! I mean, who doesn’t love a pair of wide leg denim trouser jeans. I think a lot of people tend to be intimidated by the wide leg, but once you get over your fear and try them on you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how flattering they really can be.

I’m still working on trying to find a better pair of shoes to wear with these pair. All the wedges I’ve got are a bit too high for the length of this pant, so I’ll be downsizing to a shorter wedge as soon as I find a good pair. Any suggestions?

Hope you all have a fab Friday and weekend! Make sure to check out the rest of the gals linking up on Long Distance Loving!

Motivated and Inspired, these two words pretty much sum up how I have felt the last 7 days. We recently launched our new service to our sales team, and I could not be more pleased with the reception we’ve received thus far. I’ll make sure to share some more details as soon as we are completed with the service’s new website! I have been carrying over some of the same planning and structural methodologies I used to execute the launch of our new website to get this blog where I want it to be. Photo #1 in this round-up will be my ongoing mantra for the rest of 2012!
