Mad for Metallic

If you're thinking about trying out the metallic trend, the holiday season is definitely the perfect time to start. When it comes to Christmas and New Year's, adding excitement to your outfit is sure to put you in the festive mood. Whether it's a metallic piece of jewelry, a metallic dress, or anything in between, you can definitely find something that will work depending on how much of this trend you want to add to your ensemble!

Needing it Now: Accessories

I recently came across this bag while I was online shopping (it is that time of year, and sometimes I have to do a little shopping for myself), and instantly fell in love with it. I adore the shape, and love the fact that it can fold over so you have the option of a smaller bag with a longer handle. It's so different from anything I own, and this bag is definitely one that I could use year after year thanks to its classic look... sounds to me like it could be a great investment!

Before I get too deep into my blog, there is something you should know about me: I have a girl-crush on Lauren Conrad. She has become so successful despite being under the spotlight since high school, and I envy her for that. And- I love her style, and think she is one of the most beautiful girls! A few months ago I spotted her wearing a monogrammed necklace, and I'm not sure if it was just because I saw it on her that I fell in love, or because I love monograms... either way, I'm obsessed.

Wise Words

Yet another reason for why Coco Chanel was so fabulous. 

What A Stud

Embellishments always add excitement. Studs are among my favorite this season. Whether they're on the collar of a shirt, or covering a chunk of your boots, they make any outfit look fun and funky (funky in a stylish way, of course!)

Winter boots

When it comes to winter boots, it's not all about the UGGs and the riding boots. There are plenty of other fabulous options! Some of my favorites are combat and motorcycle-esque boots.

I love to wear combat boots with skinny jeans or leggings, without buttoning them all the way so they fold over.
