Friday Favorites - Stylin' In a Winter Wonderland

Friday Favorites - Stylin' In a Winter Wonderland

One of my favorite things about blogging is all the new people and companies and products I get introduced to that I never knew about before. Enter Spring.  Spring is a single shopping destination where people can discover amazing products and buy them directly from the brands and designers that make them.  You can access them through their website, or they have a great app available for iOS and Android.  They offer free shipping and free returns on all orders, which is always a plus to me.  Their goal is to make shopping with them a highly personal experience that captures the fun, beauty, and social joy of going shopping in the physical world.

Friday Favorites - Cold Weather Accessories

Cold weather is more fun for outfitting than warm/hot weather.  I mean, I definitely love having some skin exposed in the warm months, but realistically, when it's 90+ degrees outside, you are going to limit your layers and accessories, because sweat is not a good look on anyone.  Sundress, sun hat, shades, sandals - done.

When the temperatures drop, you have layer options galore: sweaters and vests and jackets and coats, hats and muffs and scarfs and gloves.

How to Wear (Faux)Leather Pants

How to Wear (Faux)Leather Pants

First of all, let me apologize for the quality of these pictures. We visited 3 different homes for 3 different Thanksgiving meals this past weekend, and at the final stop (my parent's home) we forgot our camera and didn't have it for shooting these. So the iPhone had to step in.  It's really amazing with all 3 (4 of us counting the dog) we don't forget more.  We did forget the MangnaDoodle too, but we'll survive for a couple weeks until we see Grandma and Grandpa again. ;)  (The camera is being mailed tomorrow. ;) )
