Favorite Looks of the week

There are certain times when I ‘give some serious thought to thanking my lucky stars I’m in Texas’ (Goode Co. reference for all you Houstonians out there!), and this week was one of them. I watched on the news as snow piled up stories high in Boston, and women ran around the streets of NYC in haute couture, freezing their butts off! We felt a dip in the weather at the beginning of the week in Houston, but are back in the high 60s towards the end.

The only sad part about the very intermittent cold weather (and this is me scrambling for cons) is that you don’t really buy a lot of fancy outerwear, as it isn’t required or worn for more than a week or two. So as I looked from blog to blog at girls in their gorgeous faux-fur vests, I felt a tinge of jealousy. Then, I saw that Maya of My Life as Maya wore one in California (post here), and I thought to myself, ‘I can still get one!’ So voila, enter vest shopping! Here are some of my favorite decently priced vests.



My most favorite looks this week are probably Maya’s because I adore her floral blazer and Rachel’s because how-the-heck does she look so good pregnant? Which of these looks is your favorite?

In case you missed it, check out my ‘10 things you may not know about me‘ post from earlier this week – there may be some surprises in it! Have a great weekend! xo

Favorite Looks of the Week

As someone who really appreciates photos, it makes sense that I love Instagram. I don’t have Facebook, so it’s my one social media vice. I try not to check it too often, but my self-control totally went out the window during NYFW. I was constantly scrolling through the pictures of the gorgeous shows – J. Crew! Ugh, perfect. Kate Spade? Gorgeous. Tory Burch? I want it all. However, my favorite part was seeing all of the fashion bloggers dressed to the nines. Some of my favorite looks are below. Which do you like best?

Adding to the Blogroll

tumblr_mhslbh0UGw1qdxkdzo1_500_largeI read the same blogs every night (or at least on the days when I don’t crash into my pillow!). I watch zero TV every week, so these sites are my entertainment and inspiration. I love to read the following:

Fashion
Atlantic Pacific: Could Blair be any cooler? The answer is no.
Gal Meets Glam: Beautiful photos, beautiful clothes, beautiful blogger. The trifecta.
Could I Have That?: Samantha reminds me of what Lindsey Lohan could have been. Sigh.
The Pink Peonies: A J. Crew lover’s eye-candy. 
Karla’s Closet: I want Karla’s closet.

Lifestyle/Other
Cupcakes and Cashmere: Meeting Emily was such a cool moment. She’s my style hero.
Design Love Fest: I want to be this design-saavy so badly.
Sequins and Stripes: Liz might be the sweetest person I’ve never met.
Stripes and Sequins: Grace is so cool. I mean, so cool. And crafty to boot!
Buckets and Bunches: I’ve only met Chelsea once but I feel like we are still besties. 
vmac + cheese: Victoria exudes style and grace.
A Piece of Toast blog: These girls! This is a must-read.
Oh So Beautiful Paper: For the stationary obsessed.
Fourth Lake: My best friend/MOH just gets it. And finds amazing pictures.
The Beauty Department: I want to learn all of these tricks.

In my yearning to be among the beauty of NYFW, I was scouring the IFB Conference site and saw the list of speakers, many of whom I hadn’t heard of before. I immediately went to their sites and am tickled – new blogs to follow? Yes, please. I’m obviously way behind, but if you haven’t looked at these, you should.
