Holiday Shoes

Nine West 'Orysia' Flat ($89.95)

Sparkly flats for the holidays. Love flats, especially when it's icy.

I'd probably trip and die, but these are hot. Totally awesome Black Swan vibe.

Nina 'Forbes' Peep Toe Pump ($78.95)

Love green. Love the bow. Love that this looks actually wearable.

Accessorizing at Target

So, I saw this Mossimo Supply Co. Large Crossbody handbag in Brown two weeks ago at Target and had the good sense to just buy it. It's sold out on-line, so I'd say it was a good call. (You can check to see if it's at your local Target though.) I feel like it has an equestrian vibe that I enjoy.

Also, I managed to get these leopard shoes for $13 on sale a couple months ago. They definitely punch up an outfit and are totally worth the $24.99.

500 Days of Summer, 2 days of cute dressing

Modcloth has some super covetable dresses and one of these days I'm going to commit to actually buying one. In the meantime, here are two I would buy right now if money were no object:

The Teatime Traditions dress at Modcloth ($62.99) is just too cute. I love the sweetness of the bow mixed with the sophisticated color pallette. It's girly without being childish.

 

The Little Bit Indie Rock dress ($69.99) at Modcloth totally channels Zooey Deschanel. I'd pair it with some unexpected accessories to keep it more cool girl chic than pure preppy.

Purple Work Look

This is the kind of thing I like to occasionally wear before Spring hits to give myself a little pastel-infused boost. Plus I like short sleeves all year long so this works for me.

Of course, not all my purchases have been sweetness and light. Here are a few more actual purchases with a little more bite. Also, I should note that I do not believe in paying full price! Prices are as listed, but they're not generally what I paid. I loves me some coupon action.
