'Tis The Season for Red

Dress - Victoria's Secret (similar here, here and here), Shoes - Zara, Clutch - Forever 21

I know, I know,a  red dress for the holiday season? How original. But I had to! I mean it is a classic for a reason and in my opinion, there is no better color for the season other than red. Plus this dress is a little different from some of the traditional red dresses out there in that it is a simple dress but the shape of it and the way the fabric gathers at the waist gives it that special little something. This is the kind of dress that would look great on just about anybody because it has such a flattering shape. It is the perfect shade of red, doesn't have any glitter, or embroidery or any of that kind of stuff and it is sensible but still sexy enough for a night out, (meaning you could wear it out for your holiday work party or even for just a night out with your hubby/boyfriend. Best part of all? Its super comfortable! I mean I could eat all night and not have to worry about sucking it in in this dress-- and during this time of year that little bit of help is kind of essential, (I promise to start working out in the new year after the pumpkin pie has had time to settle). The only thing I would add to this outfit is my soon-to-arrive camel coat I ordered online. A black or even a white coat would look great over this dress as well. I hope you enjoyed, thank you for visiting and I hope you find your perfect holiday dress for the season!

Winter Outfit Inspiration

 

Jacket - OASIS (here), Slouchy Sweater - (similar here and here), Pants - Seven Skinny Jeans (totally need these), Black Suede Ankle Boots - Cynthia Vincent (on sale here), Studded Clutch - 2BSTORES.com (here), Beanie - H&M, Ray Ban Aviator Sunglasses - find here

 

This is pretty much my perfect winter outfit, maybe add in a scarf for extra warmth and you're set! I've been on a quest to find the perfect coat and I really love the style of the one above, especially with the black trimming on the cuffs.  Coats are so expensive though,  and finding a good quality one at a reasonable price takes some good hunting skills.  My quest continues, but I will let you all know the second I find one! I think the studded clutch adds some jazz to a rather neutral outfit so I'll definitely need to get one to add to my wardrobe. What are your favorite ways to jazz up winter outfits? Have you all found the perfect winter coat? I'd love to know! Thanks for all your wonderful comments, hope you have a beautiful day!

Jacket - Forever 21 (love this one too), Scarf - Target, Blouse - H&M (here), Pants - Target (similar here), Bag - H&M (Old), Booties - BCBG (here)

Happy Friday!  It has gotten SO cold within the past few days and it is this time of year that I always struggle to find ways to stay warm while still looking put together.  If I could, I would totally wear PJ's to work but layering up in comfy clothes is the next best thing.  For the most part, I'm  a neutrals kinda girl, so this outfit is pretty close to what you'll find me wearing on most days-- a sheer blouse, a scarf and skinny jeans.  I've said it before but I'll say it again: Target has the best selection of scarves! Like the one I'm wearing, its got gold threading that sparkles in the light and the pattern kind of reminds me of a beautiful Persian rug.  Hope you all enjoyed, and thank you for all your sweet comments! Have a fabulous weekend!

Style Icon: Rachel Bilson

Ever since she played the role of the giddy and adorable, Summer Roberts on The O.C., I've had a total girl crush on Rachel Bilson. I always look to her for fashion inspiration as she epitomizes effortless style--the kind that makes you think she just threw on a bunch of random things and just happens to look that great. Whether she's wearing frilly skirts with an edgy boot, a feminine dress with a grungy looking jacket or the perfect skinny jeans paired with a simple t-shirt, she always retains that "oh-I-just-threw-this-on-and-rushed-out-the-door," look that I think we all strive for.  I've always tried to emulate her style in some ways because I really admire her sense of fashion.  She doesn't always follow the latest trends, instead she sticks to what she knows works for her body and mixes classic pieces with bohemian style cuts and fabrics to create her looks. Plus she's just adorable. Who are your favorite style icons? I'd love to know!
