Layering-Friendly

One of my favorite things about Fall has to be the endless opportunity to layer, layer, layer! I love re-working previously-worn outfits & layering something over or under to create a completely new outfit.  I actually get excited about this when deciding what to wear.  Over the weekend, I found a few great pictures in yet another lookbook from Shopbop.com that inspired my outfit for today :)

27 Days. . . .

Sometimes, what we see on the runway or in fashion magazines resembles something from a horror film.  With Halloween just around the corner, I can't help but look forward to my favorite holiday. I decorated my place this past weekend, as well as tried a new cheesecake recipe :)  Here are some pictures of some recently discovered Halloween-inspired pieces & some of my weekend...

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait. . . .

In the past, I have made endless bad decisions when it comes to shopping.  Not only does this leave me with "buyer's remorse," but it also leaves me with items that remain left unworn in my closet for way too long.  Several years ago, I learned that settling isn't worth it...if you want something bad enough, make it happen.  If you like a trend, wait awhile, see if it lasts or is worth the money.  Because I decided not to settle for a mediocre leopard print purse, I found the perfect one :)  Where do you ask? On Ebay, of course! I included some additional inspiration on these trends. Plans today? I'm stuck at work until later this afternoon, then a trip to the gym, & dinner with friends :)

Brand New, with tags, Topshop leopard-print Box Bag :)

I have also been waiting on the whole 'Shearling Boot' thing  & 'Sequin Skirt' idea as well, mostly because of their price point (pretty hefty on the pocketbook).  However, after several days of searching on Ebay repeatedly (ok, I stalked the site), I found these incredibly affordable lace-up boots & sequin skirt...perfection :)
