I don’t have a fancy party on the agenda this new year’s eve, but if I did I’d be wearing something like this:

I love the subtle sexiness of the dress and the little bit of glitz that is added by the gold accessories.

Dress: DVF – This dress is kind of pricey but simple enough that it would more than pay for itself.

Shoes: Paris Hilton – I love the bow detail on these shoes as well as the pink soles.

Bag: Jessica McClintock – This clutch is wallet friendly, which is nice since I rarely have a need for one.

Earrings: Isharya – These are big and fancy, perfect for New Year’s.

I have been satisfying a serious shoe craving lately.  When colder weather rolls in I crave boots.  Knee boots, mid-calf boots, ankle boots, and… any boot really.  I’ve bought three pairs recently to add to and fill out my collection.

The first pair I bought was a pair of knee high cognac colored riding boots.  My favorite thing about these boots is the braided detail down the side.  They are also super comfy and a perfect everyday boot.

Pair number two was a pair of black suede ankle boots.  These are super cute with their pleating detail on the upper.  They were also very wallet friendly since I found them at Payless.  Score one for team frugal!  Even though these shoes aren’t the highest quality, they are actually very comfy.

The third pair is my favorite pair.  They are a gorgeous pair of chestnut colored ankle boots with a studded detail and a pretty tall heel.  G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!  Unlike the previous pair, they were not as wallet friendly.  I couldn’t help it though.  Sometimes it is necessary to splurge!  And since I bought them with birthday money they weren’t really that bad. They are actually pretty comfy, despite the really tall heel.

Boots are definitely my go-to shoe for fall and winter.  Fancy and warm.  Double the awesome!  Hopefully, I can continue to find places to keep them all.

I am not ashamed to admit that I do infact own a snuggie.  It’s royal blue.    

It was a gift from my parents last Christmas and I have certainly put it to good use.  Not only can you wear it when you’re cold and you need your hands, but also as a robe, and I even used it for a black-out curtain when I started working nights.  It works quite well.  Not to mention, it builds static like crazy!  I have lots of fun shocking the hubs.  He hates the thing. 

However,  I find it absolutely hilarious that they are hosting a fashion show of their newest styles and patterns during Fashion Week.  Um… doesn’t it just come in one style and one-size-fits-all proportion.  It’s a blanket with sleves.  How much more can you really do with it?  You can read all about it over at The Cut.

Well, not just yet, but I love fall for many many reasons.  The color of the leaves, all things pumpkin and spice, football, my anniversary, my birthday, Halloween and Thanksgiving.  And with all of these exciting things right around the corner I am jonesin’ to do some serious shoping.  I have quite a few things on my list of needs wants for this fall.

Theses boots are super cute and I think would look great with skinny jeans or tights and a dress.

All I want to buy lately are long cardigans especially in rich colors.  They go with everything.

A cute plaid top would be an updated version of what I wore back in the day.  Dad’s plaid shirts and purple lipstick will no longer do.

Real or faux, a leather jacket is at the top of my list.  I love the assymetrical zipper on the front of this animal friendly one.

I like colored tights for fall, in theory.  And I might even try to go there this fall, might.  We’ll just have to see how I feel about my legs that could rival a redwood when there’s actually a chill in the air.

I’ve compiled this list a little early, because it is going to be way too hot for any of these things in Alabama for a couple more months.  But, fall is by far my favorite season, and I just can’t wait.  (I’ve had pumpkin spice candles in my house for the past month.)
