A Valentine to myself….

Are you a person that likes to be noticed? Frances Valentine Swing Coat HERE!!

Not to just be “noticed” but…perhaps actually flagged down while driving and told to roll down your window (you don’t of course) and then to be mouthed at… thru a dusty window…”you’re beautiful…”

So…just let yourself be that person…and this is it…this is THE WAY to that moment. 

The way to happy and bright.  To chic and swingy.  To sophisticated and whimsy.

The Roaring 20’s are almost upon us – again!  ARE YOU PREPARED?!!

…and it would make an excellent gift also…Christmas gift list – done!

& notice that I dressed this beautiful piece down…jeans and a white button up.  It’s very versatile…most people don’t think pieces this beautiful are for daily use …but if you’re wearing this during the day…more chances for whispers thru dusty windows…

A beautiful CHOiES skirt….on Cortneybre…

I’ve been quite the Chic Wish fan lately but decided to branch out a little and try some new shopping sites.  One of these sites is CHOiES, which is very similar to Chic Wish and just as fab.  My first purchase from CHOiES was a somewhat simple and safe one.  I decided on this beautiful black midi skirt you see below.

Shirt: Crown & Ivy
Skirt: Choies
Heels: Kate Spade
Bag: Kate Spade
Sunnies: Franco Sarto

I wasn’t sure if the quality and fit would compare to Chic Wish so I played it safe with this purchase.  Let me just say I was happily surprised and quite pleased with the purchase!  

The dress fit perfectly, the fabric was beautiful and the cut was perfect!  And…I do think CHOiES is a little cheaper than Chic Wish also!  Who doesn’t LOVE that!?  

I’m also trying a few new sites and will let you know how I fare with those also!  I’ve ordered a couple of items from Sheinside so stay tuned for future posts and reviews!  The pieces I’ve ordered are very unique and I can’t wait to style them!

For now, Chic Wish and CHOiES have served me well and I’ve many beautiful pieces to wear!  I also have a cool new Chic Wish dress to feature too…I hope to have it posted soon!  

Hope you’re having a great week!

Springing Forward in a Floral Print…on Cortneybre…

 A couple of weekends ago, I had the opportunity to go to a fun event hosted by my pals at I Am Purty!  I previously wrote a post on the event and had a blast attending!  I came away with a few cute baubles and enjoyed soaking up the sun!

 Let me just talk a little about this blazer…it’s one of my BEST Kate Spade finds.  Its actually part of a two piece set and I have a pair of ankle length pants that match in the same fabric.   I fell in love with the suit when it debuted on Kate Spade’s site and watched it for months and months, hoping to see it on sale.  Eventually, it was heavily discounted and I bought it immedialty.  I can’t wait to debut the entire outfit once Spring has Sprung a little more!

For this event, I decided to go casual and dressed the blazer down with JCREW jeans and my Valentino-esque heels by BCBGeneration.

Aren’t they chic!  And so affordable!  

Here are some pics from the event!  Check out I Am Purty’s site here also!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  xx…

Kate Spade Saturday on SALE…check out my fave piece on Cortneybre…

OMG…what can I say…these past few weeks have been a whirlwind!  I’ve missed you guys, my wonderful readers!  

Now..on to fashion!

KS Sat

First Kate Spade Saturday is running a tremendous sale!  As in 50% off their sale items sale!

I’ve heard rumors that Kate Spade’s Saturday brand is folding, along with Jack Spade.  How very sad!  

I will admit that I prefer Kate Spade NY to its younger sister, Saturday, however I do think Saturday has a place in the fashion market.  I’ll be sad to see it go.  

That being said, I took advantage of that sale I just mentioned and purchased this tres cute pink skirt!

Jacket: Banana Republic Shirt: Red Camel Skirt: Kate Spade Saturday Heels: Kate Spade NY Bag: Kate Spade NY Sunnies: Franco Sarto Bracelets/Watch: Kate Spade NY
Jacket: Banana Republic     Shirt: Crown and Ivy
Skirt: Kate Spade Saturday      Heels: Kate Spade NY
Bag: Kate Spade NY       Sunnies: Franco Sarto
Bracelets/Watch: Kate Spade NY

Cute right!?  Love the skirt, great fit and color…short and sassy!  

This is a winter to summer piece also.  The skirt easily pairs with tights or without!  

I LOVE wearing a simple ribbon as a necklace.  It serves as the perfect accent without being too flashy!

Check out Kate Spade Saturday’s sale!  I bet you find something you love!
