Daily Outfit: Laced in Violets

who says lace is just for streetwalkers??!!  i love the fact that lace was recently reclaimed by the fashion world and made to be classic and edgy! that was my goal for this outfit.  though many have put their lace tights away, i am still loving mine.  they were the perfect addition to add edge and coverage to make these cute floral-print vintage shorts office ready.  is this your average office attire? well...no. ...but you should know by now that my style choices are anything but average lol.  ... and i would totally do it again!

Daily Outfit: Love & Lace

Who likes to celebrate love? Well don't all shout at once. I do, I do! I wore this lacy little number to the 40th wedding anniversary party of a very special couple. I feel blessed to be surrounded by family who want to share their happiness with those they love...I also aspire to enjoy at least 40 years of amazing memories and wedded bliss! Haha...3 years under my belt and savoring every minute of it. Speaking of belts (such a smooth segue) I knew this dress needed a little something at the waist. It couldn't have worked out better, not only was this skinny bow belt already in my closet, but I love the combo of purple and teal. Bows, lace, and nude patent leather make for a fun Saturday night in the springtime.

Daily Outfit: She's Got Lace

 Probably not the best idea to go outside and take off your coat when you're getting over a cold, but I did it for the love of lace! Had to show off these cream lace shorts with a rose pink underlay...swoon-worthy. The vintage-inspired high waist and skirt-like shape had me putting them in my online shopping cart in no time. I layered on the sweetness with plum silk ruffles and creamy puff sleeves. My vintage navy peacoat has been a real staple, especially in this unpredictable winter we are having. The hip length is perfect to ward off any chill...no one wants a cold bum!

 In unrelated news, I went for it and ordered the previously mentioned Vanilla Star Leopard Jeans. By that time they had a size 3 left, and I knew in my heart they would be too small. My loss can be your gain because I've listed them on eBay. The jeans are now sold out in every size...they were definitely a hot commodity.

PFM Obsession: Leopard and Poppy

Here's a list of my fall faves thus far... hmmm I sense a little bit of a pattern.

1. Zara Lace Dress - I've been looking for the perfect lace dress to pair with my tough black motorcycle boots. This could be the one!

2. Madewell Fulton Felt Hat - Loving the camel color and the 70's vibe! Must have!

3. We actually saw these Aldo Leopard Wedge Booties in person, I tried them on and Sesheta agreed that they were swoon-worthy... but not in my budget right now. The print is small and lovely, the wedge is not too high, and they are subtly sexy.

4. Melie Bianco Edith Bag - I am definitely feeling the pop of red, and it would go so well with the leopard booties! As a bonus it's totally affordable and it has a super cute removable chain strap.

5. These Buckled Paddock Boots from Anthropologie already have a spot waiting for them in my closet!

6. Nars Love Devotion Lipstick -So I know that this particular shade has been around for a while now, but I had never actually tried it till recently. It's moisturizing, buildable, and that perfect shade of coral orange that I need right now.

7. This Medusa watch from TOKYObay will satisfy a few cravings- it's red, studded, and the strap can wrap around twice to create a fab layered look with a few bracelets added in.

8. Poppy red skinny jeans. I am already thinking of multiple outfits that will come out of these awesome Mothers .

9. The Addison Story Floral Shirtdress is exactly what I am looking for to layer underneath my fur vest. In fact I would like the entire fall collection from this brand, please.
