What To Wear Wednesday! (WTWW) Tweed & more

So as we say goodbye to summer and embrace this gorgeous un-humid fallish weather, it is about time we start to change over our closets and get ready to embrace the new styles of Fall 2011!

In today's What to Wear I wanted to show how to wear tweed with a number of different fabrics!  By mixing this heavier fabric with lighter ones, you are able to take this style to whole new heights!  Plus for many that still feel like tweed was only for the grandma's move over..

Might be a little much for some of you.. but Love this mix-match of patterns and fabrics!  Plus the bright bang of the red tights..would you dare?

Check out this gorgeous mix of your rigid leather jacket mixed with tweed! Love this!

Backpack in tweed?!

See how you can mix a very delicate lace flowy blouse with a more structured tweed blazer! and make it everyday with a pair of your jeans!

and say maybe your not too sure about tweed, start with tweed inspired headland! Love this one above!

Happy Wednesday my darlings!  

Are you all ready for fall yet?

oh the VMAs...

Ok so after a long weekend away I almost forgot all about this annual, cray-cray of an awards show, but thankfully after a little unpacking and a long run I was able to watch some.. although I did miss the opening, but don't worry I have it all on my DVR for tonight.  However I couldn't leave you today without a few great shots of some quite memorable (although already wanting to forget outfits that were on display last night!) 

Not sure I was feeling the pink hair, Katy? or the yellow cube.. but hey I still think you rock!  Congrats on best video!

 I think the entire cast of Jersey Shore was..well you can answer that!  and don't get my started on Nikki, I love the girl but come on.. enough is enough

I will say this, Britney although I think her stylist could of picked out something better, did look great for everything the poor thing has gone through...and although I feel old that she is now in the hall of fame, she is definitely deserving

Gaga.. well ya shall we say Mr. Kenickie 

(good old grease days!)

Definitely have to agree with the masses, on the best part being Beyonce's tummy rub and Jay-Z's expression right after! (that is one lucky baby!)

VMAs.. the one award show where all stylists are sent packing..

Happy Monday my dears!

Friday Favorites!

I think due to the excitement of an earthquake and now a presiding hurricane I feel like this week has flown by..and to top things off, I am off early to run up to Pittsburgh for the weekend! (thankful to get away from the bad weather, but slightly nervous about making our way back on Sunday...)

Anyways feeling so inspired thought I would share my Friday favorites this week!

First things first, this has now become my morning routine, the first time I tasted Greek yogurt plain was NOT a fan..but a few month ago found the FAGE with fruit, obsessed!  makes even those non-believers into believers of the stuff! 

(give it a try I promise it wont disappoint!)

 Not sure if it's my way of embracing this weather, but I am finally starting to get ready for fall, and loving the trend to continue a bright yellow throughout the cooler months ahead!

We are actually off to Pittsburgh for more than just to get away, we will be attending a wedding at the University's chapel (above) isn't it lovely!  Looking forward to not only the wedding but to explore a new city!

and finally, I dare not mention.. a birthday was this past Tuesday, and due to my busy schedule I lacked in its own post, but I do know this very special lady in my life (my mama) knew how much I was thinking about her!! 

Love you Mom! and to many more years of Fabulous!

Happy weekend my dears, and to all of us on the East coast, I pray we all stay safe and out of crazy Irene's path!

Thigh High..a Do or a Don't??

 

So for today's Do or Don't I am welcoming in a fall trend, the thigh high socks! for the first time ever last year I overcame a fear of "Pretty Woman" over the knee boots that don't make you look like a ..... well you get the point, and I fell in love with the boots!  So this style is one that I am willing to give a second thought.. plus as seen later I love the look with the over the knee boot, so I may just have to give it a try..  

Anyways have you all seen this style, what do you think..?  As always I will be sharing a few photos so you can make your own judgement on the Thigh High socks!

Love this mix of the very feminine sparkly mini with the thigh highs and then the more manly trouser flats! 

Runway is also loving this trend, are you??

 from the runway to literally just running around town, this style can truly go many places!

Now its your turn.. would you wear thigh high socks?  

Is it a do or a don't?

Happy (belated) Thursday!

What To Wear Wednesday! (WTWW) Cropped Jackets!

OK, so first things first, for all of us east coasters.. WOW, and may I say congratulations we all survived a major earthquake.. I was 14 floors up and the very last thought even after all 3 shakes happened was a quake.. Little Florida girl can handle her hurricanes and lightening storms..BUT earthquake, well that was a new one for me!  however it is Wednesday and I think we've all heard enough about Tuesday's event so I will get back to business..

Today's what to wear, is all about the outwear and a style that you won't need to wait until its freezing outside to sport.. its the Cropped Jacket!

There are many styles and varieties out there, and none that are boring, or look like you stole your little sister's jacket..

I recently read about this fall trend, and immediately loved it, soon after I was browsing through Forever, (which rarely happens anymore but I have panic attacks there.. another story in itself) But i did spot a great denim khaki/ brownish cropped jacket...

 

Surprisingly they actually had more than one, and I immediately purchased it! I will have to say it is great getting a new style/ trend at a cheap price in case you find out once its at home you never actually will wear it in public..however for this trend, it is not the case! (already have worn it twice!)

Here are some more styles...

As you can see, they come in all colors, textures and styles.. dressy-casual, rocker- hippy

So go out a grab one, or maybe search in your own closet 

(I swear I had a few of these back in the day!)

Happy Wednesday, and here is to no more crazy natural disasters.. stay away Irene!
