Brown and Cream Outfit

Hey everybody! It's been a while since my last post so sorry! And its been a while since I have done a post of clothing so that's what today is!! Outfit time! And the colors for today are brown and cream. I know its a simple color pair but it always looks good because its in the same color family and I absolutely love making outfits with cream because you can put anything with it. It's such an easy color to wear and put stuff with and it always looks good. Its also so easy to accessorize.

Love love love these jeans! Minus the shoes. Not too big of a fan of those but that's ok this outfit is going to have boots with it anyways! These are the Guess Jean, Nicole Cigarette Skinny Dark Wash and are  $89 from Macy's.

Sure this isn't an exact cream but its close and I love it! It will go great with browns too. This is also an open weave so a tank under it would obviously be necessary. I would go with white. That's always my go to undershirt color. This is the DOLLED UP Open Weave Women's Top in Natural and is on sale now for $19.97 and is from Tilly's.

Ahh obsessed with these boots!! So cute and can either be worn like this or the foldover can be pulled up to make them like knee high boots. Its like two totally different boots in one. So amazing! These are the Colin Stuart Buckle Foldover Boot in Cocoa color. These are on sale for $89.99 on Victoria's Secret's website. CUTE CUTE CUTE!!

This is literally my favorite watch of all time. I have two of them, white and black and they are seriously amazing. I have gotten so many compliments on it because it barely looks like a watch and its so unique. Recommend getting this to everybody! This is the Nixon Vega watch in Tortoise color and is $90. It can be found on Nixon's website. There are so many different variations of this watch and the prices range from $75-$90. The prices went up from when I got mine about 5 years ago. Guess that's what happens. They can also found on websites such as Tilly's.

So simple but so cute! I love the old vintage look to this and would look great on this outfit! And it's so cheap too that even if you wear it only like 4 time your getting your moneys worth out of it. This is the Rhinestone Oval Necklace from Forever 21 and costs only $3.80!! I may just have to get this for that price!

I have become really obsessed with Frye everything! Particularly the boots but it was just recently that I saw on their website that they have handbags too. Not good for me and my money... I just want them all. This one is by far my favorite. It looks so big and like it can just hold my world, which is what I need in a purse. This is the Artisan Tote from The Frye Company and is $348.









Well there we go! Theres a cute cream and brown outfit that I totally want to go out and buy now. This about using these colors when making your outfit this week. Most of us are probably starting back to school and this is such a cute combo! Thanks for reading!!

A Love of Purses

Hey all! It's a boring, windy and cold day in Missouri so obviously its a perfect time to think about purses!! Or maybe I am just obsessed and always think about purses. Whatever it may be I love purses and love how the perfect purse can make your outfit perfect all around. Sadly all of the purses that I love are, lets say, a little out of my price range... Some I have gotten by working my butt off to save up the money but some I can only dream about!! Ok most of them I can only dream about.

My personal favorite is Coach purses. Even though it's a designer name they still have some purses that are affordable but then they also have their crazy expensive ones! For me, I love the outlet stores! My family always goes down to the Lake of the Ozarks in the summers and at the outlet mall there they have one of the best stores ever! A coach outlet!! And when you walk into the store I have always had one of the workers give me a coupon for an extra 15-20% off which makes it more realistic to buy the purses. At my work I always compliment the Coach purses whenever I see them and most of the time the women say that they got it from an outlet store which seems to be a better option for the people that want to enjoy to Coach name but not pay the prices at the  upscale malls. Coach has been around since 1941 and they are still producing some of the best purses (in my mind at least). Also the leather is amazing and always seems to look good no matter how old the purse is. Here are some of my personal favorites from Coach and way out of my price range! Like I said yesterday, a girl can dream. These are all from http://www.coach.com/.

This is the Madison Leather Sophia Satchel. The purple is my favorite color but it also comes in more neutral colors such as black or tan. Also comes in colors like red and mahogany. I like this purse because its large enough to carry a lot but its not too large for people that don't like the larger bags. I may not look like it holds much but it really does! This purse is $358.

I love crossbody purses!! These are great for traveling when they zip across the top. Makes it harder to get pickpocketed. And this coach one is cute but simple. This purse is the Julia Leather Swingback and is $148.

This last purse from Coach is so amazing. This is a huge purse and hold EVERYTHING! It is way to expensive for me to buy for myself but I would love it as a gift!! I also love how this is Poppy which is usually a little more flashy than the other purses but this one is more subtle in the Poppy collection. This is the Poppy Leather Pushlock Tote and is $398.

So the next brand that I really love is Fossil. Fossil was started in 1984 and I remember when I was younger Fossil was really big, which was in the early 1990's, then just kind of went away but now its back and better than ever! I love the leather and how it smells fabulous. They are also expensive but if you hit Macy's at the right times the purses can be up to 70% off. I got lucky the day I got my little crossbody at 70% off!! Here are some of my favorite Fossil purses! These ones can be found of http://www.fossil.com/.

I love this purse so much!! Its huge and will hold everything from a weekend of clothes to a laptop and school books which is just what I need. I tried this purse of at Macy's and it was so cute! Sadly it is more wide than tall and me being as short as I am, it may sound weird but, this purse made me look shorter than I already am. Still love it and may check back when it goes to 70% off at Macy's.This purse is the Vintage Re-Issue Weekender and is $228.

This Fossil purse is an example of their so cute crossbody style. This is in the Camel color but it also comes in chestnut, sea foam green, dark blue and light pink. Personally I would stick with the normal leather colors like this one or the chestnut. The crossbody that I have is in the chestnut color and I am able to wear it with almost everything! And its smaller than most of my other purses so it is nice when I don't want to carry all the stuff that I usually carry with me. This purse is the Maddox Organizer Flap and is $198.

The last brand of purse that I am really into right now is Lucky Brand. They also make great jeans (expensive) and clothing and also cute jewelry but I really like their purses. It is similar to Fossil but such different styles! Lucky Brand made their first pair of jeans in 1990 and branched so far out from there. This purse can be found on http://www.macys.com/.

This Lucky Brand purse would also be great for traveling because it zips on the top and it folds over which would make it really hard for anybody to get into it if you kept it zipped up. And it's larger so you are able to carry whatever you would like to carry in there. This purse also comes in a raspberry color which I really love even though I am not usually a red color person but its so cute!! This is the Sunset Junction Foldover Convertible Tote and is $199.

Well you have seen some of my favorite purses! There are so many more that I love but they are crazy expensive designer names like Chanel and Jimmy Choo and those ones I can only dream about. One great thing about Fossil and Lucky Brand is that occasionally they have these purses at TJ Maxx and Marshall's for an amazing discounted price! And those are two of my favorite stores so I am always there checking to see what kind of Fossil and Lucky Brand purses they have. Hope you enjoyed and hope this makes the windy day in Missouri for fun!

Blue and Gray!

Hey everybody! I can't believe its a new year already!! New year means new styles and colors that are in this season, so for the outfit I am making today the color scheme is gray and blue. I was at work yesterday putting out all of our new jewelry which the new colors are gray and pale yellow and gray and pale blue. The theme for our new collection at work is nautical which I absolutely love but today I am just going for the colors and see what I can find that would look great together! And just to let everybody know I spell gray with an A. I dont spell it grey but companies do so that will be the different when talking about the stores.

Jeans are from Tommy Hilfiger and are the Skinny Ankle Jean with Zipper and are $78.00. I personally love the skinny jeans that have the zipper on the bottom because you know that if your wearing boots with them that they will be very tight around you ankles so you dont have to worry about the bulk of the pants coming out of the top of your boots. I hate that!!

I am keeping it simple with the top. I love simple one colored shirts because with a plain color there is so much you can do with it from jewelry to scarves or other accessories. This top is from American Eagle Outfitters and is that AE Favorite V-Neck T and is $15.50.

Since it is still cold here and I am all about North Face jackets I would personally put this Graphite Grey jacket with it. I like how this is darker than the shirt but will still keep the color scheme that we have going on.

I know I have put these boots in here before but for this outfit I am going with the light gray version of the boots to go with the outfit. And I just love these boots. So cute and very comfy. Found these fro DSW (my favorite shoe store of all time!) and they are the Diba Combat Boot in Grey and are $69.95. And if you shop at DSW enough you get coupons like $10 off a purchase. I love the coupons!!!

I am a huge fan of bangles and I love these ones with the outfit. It has the different color blues and the white to accent the whole outfit! Love Love Love!! These are from http://www.tillys.com/ and are $9.99. They are called FULL TILT 9 Piece Colorblock Bangles. I may just have to buy these soon!

Not the same color blue as the bracelets but I think it works. It sets off the light blue color of this necklace while also setting off the colors in the bracelets. Also wouldnt need to wear all the bracelets if you didnt want to. This is a Lucky Brand Pendent with a Blue Stone. I found it on http://www.macys.com/ and is $35. I love this necklace so much!!!

In my mind an outfit is not complete without and handbag! And although I couldnt afford this one I LOVE it. For the people that know me, I have an unhealthy obsession with Coach purses and its sad how much I love them. This is the Coach Pinnacle Leather Louisa and is a crazy $698! A girl can dream can't she? And this purse literally makes the whole blue and gray outfit!! This purse can be found on http://www.macys.com/ or http://www.coach.com/.









There is the outfit for the day and now I want to go out and buy it all!! Even the purse if I had the money for it. Maybe one day right? Hope you all enjoyed and thanks for reading!!
