Birthday Bash/High School Reunion

My best friends and I had so much fun going out for a reunion/birthday celebration!  I wish I had more pictures to share with you but they are on my friend's cameras so maybe more to come later! :)  I bought an item from my fall wishlist finally!!  I got a pair of leopard print heels (so of course I wanted to wear them)!

 

This is Katie and Chandler.

 

Kara loves Kirby!!

Hot Trend: Colorful Coats

Seeing so many different bloggers' outfit posts, you realize how many different colors coats really come in.  I ran into Target today (and got some awesome deals-can't wait to show yall!) and they had so many colorful jackets.  They had one almost exactly like the mustard one for only $30.  I would have gotten it, but they were all out of my size :(
What is your favorite to wear?

a boot or sandal?

Hello Ladies!
Ever have problems deciding which shoe to wear? That's why getting ready with your girlfriends always makes it more fun so you can get their opinions & take a vote on who likes which better...I am constantly asking my roommates what they think about each outfit I put on to see another person's perspective. I personally like the sandals over the boots with the outfit above, unless I am going to a "Country" shin-dig :)
What's your vote?
sandal or boot?

i love a vintage striped dress i found at the thrift store but it was too long. i am getting it hemmed this week and pairing it with floral black tights and brown flats. i can't wait to get it back.

inspiration

Atlanta Noo De Cadenet Taylor, daughter of actress & photographer Amanda De Cadenet and Duran Duran’s bassist John Taylor, inspires many women (including myself) by combining the old with new. From day to night she layers her vintage finds with floral prints, loads of necklaces, and big summer hats. No matter what she puts on she looks phenomenal & wears it with ease!

Bohemian. Luxe. Hipster.

big & bold EARRINGS

This summer, everyone from Kim Kardashian to Jennifer Lopez has been swapping out the statement necklace for a pair of over-sized ornate earrings. Anyone can sport these danglers because there is such a wide variety to select from; you are guaranteed to find the perfect pair to show off your personality! Simple, bright, professional, sexy, chunky, bold, casual, intricate, sparkly, geometric--whatever it might be, I encourage you to swap out your pearls & dainty earrings--accessorize with chunky, big & bold!
