New Year's Eve Inspiration

Happy Monday!

  I hope everyone had a great holiday!  I throughly enjoyed spending some time with my loved ones and celebrating!  

Now that Christmas is over, I am now getting myself ready for New Year's Eve!  With that coming at the end of the week, now is the perfect time to plan your outfit.  Whether you are staying in and watching the ball drop or headed to a fabulous bash, an outfit that helps you celebrate with a smile is a must!  I am loving all things feathery, fringe, and of course, sparkly for New Year's Eve!  Here are some of the many pieces that I've been adoring for later on this week.

.:Fall Wants:.

While it is still in the 70s to 80s here, I have fully caught Fall fever and am dying to get some Fall pieces!  Here's what's on my wish list that is specific to the season:

Buffalo Check Shirt

A good buffalo check will carry you through Fall with big chunky scarfs, destroyed jeans, and fabulous boots in tow!

 Blazer

This blazer could be super cute with a Chanel brooch (or any sparkly necklace or brooch) and leather pants to add some toughness to this business-like piece.

Scarf

Leopard is a neutral.  This scarf would go with everything from stripes to solids to instantly up the ante of any outfit without effort.

Leopard Booties

You all know how much I love my leopard flats!  I think I may just need a boot version for Fall/Winter!

Tory Burch Flats

These flats sparkle with gorgeousness!  They would be so cute paired with a pair of black leather pants and a loose white tee.

 Bow Back Booties

These booties are life.  I love the sweet bow on the back.  While they are an investment, they would be worthwhile as they would go with just about any Fall outfit.  

Leather Sleeved Jacket

This jacket is so amazing.  The leather sleeves up the cool factor of it a million percent.  I picture it styled with destroyed denim, a Chanel brooch, and black d'orsay pumps.

.:TJ Maxx Finds:.

//Shirt:  J.Crew Factory// Necklace:  TJ Maxx (similar version)// Skirt:  Kate Spade via TJ Maxx (similar)// Shoes:  Nine West//

I have to admit that TJ Maxx and Marshalls are some of my favorite stores.  You never know when you are going to find a treasure in one of them.  Both stores have always been my favorites for finding things for my home.  However, within the past year or so, I have found myself gravitating toward their clothing (and jewelry at TJ Maxx).  I love my Nest necklaces so very much (and actually think that they are more than worth their price tag as I wear them so much).  I was so elated to find this gem at TJ Maxx!  Also, this girl loves Kate Spade…but I'll be honest, I can't always afford a $300-$500 skirt.  In the past few months between TJ Maxx & Marshalls, I have found two incredible Kate Spade skirts in my size for WAY less than retail.  As you can imagine, I've totally fallen for these places and they have become one of my best shopping secrets.  Do you have any shopping secrets that help you score amazing pieces?

.:A Walk in the Vineyard:.

//Jacket:  Lucky Brand // Scarf: J.Crew (old) // Tee:  Victoria's Secret // Jeans:  Hudson // Shoes:  Kate Spade //

This post may be a bit rambly…I've been working non-stop trying to close my classroom out for the school year and am having issues formulating decent sentences! :)  

The future H and I went for a walk around the family's vineyard next to our house…It's so gorgeous and we feel so lucky to have it in our backyard!

Back to clothing...

Do you ever have a clothing combo that you just can't seem to quit wanting to wear?  Lately for me, it has been the combination of leopard and camo. 

By the way, this leather jacket is by far my favorite of any that I have worn.  It is so incredibly soft and goes with everything.

Abbie

.:Bows for Days:.

 //Sweater:  J.Crew // Necklaces:  Mindy Mae's Market & J.Crew (similar) // Skirt:  Kate Spade (similar)(this full skirt and this skirt are next on my wish list) // Heels:  Nine West//

This is probably my favorite type of outfit.  Nothing feels as feminine and wonderful as a nice full skirt.  Every time I wear one I remember why I love them and vow to not only add more to my collection on future shopping trips, but wear them more often as well.  Is there an item in your wardrobe that does that to you?

xoxo,

Abbie
