casual faux fur.

When I bought this faux fur snood 2 years ago I had just moved to Southwest Michigan.  Our first Winter here was insanely cold and snowy and the week after Thanksgiving I bought this faux fur snood because I just knew I was going to get so much use out of it.  I had visions of grandeur for this pretty thing-- it was going to keep me warm for years to come!

Aaaaaaaand then I ended up wearing it exactly ONE time in the months to follow.  Investment, fail.  (Well, given that it only cost $40, I didn't feel too bad.)

But now that the bitter cold weather has decided to re-visit I am ready to rock this baby with a vengeance!  Today, I paired it with this candy apple red cardi from Old Navy.  

I think I'm in luuuuurve.

It's no secret that I adore my riding boots.  (Probably a little too much!)  I bought the Etienne Aigner Costa boots over 2 years ago and I have been wearing them constantly since.  In fact, they are such a staple to my outfits that when my Costa boots bit the dust this week I was truly devastated.  The zippers malfunctioned and I was quoted $100 for a repair.  Can you believe it?  No, thank you--for that price, I'd rather just buy new boots!

  

As sad as I was, I immediately got to shopping and found a new pair.  Again, I ended up with Etienne Aigners- this time the Chip riding boots (in "Banana Bread", for those that have been asking!).  

These shoes are bliss!!  Highly recommended to anyone shopping for riding boots.  Oh, and just for good measure my work bag also decided give out this week.  Fortunately, I scored this beautiful one at TJMaxx!

P.S.  I'm pretty sure that I'm trying to live out my Ralph Lauren equestrian fantasy in this outfit.  I never did get that pony as a child!

Happy almost Thanksgiving, Loves!!

what i wore: blanket scarves and crossbody bags.

Hello, Loves!  How's it going?

It's actually pretty chilly here, all of the sudden.  

But, no need to fear... blanket scarves are here!

H&M shirt, Forever21 blanket scarf/high-waisted shorts, tights/socks (various), Mossimo for Target crossbody bag,Target watch, Chinese Laundry Bosco boots

So warm, so cuddly, so all around magical!  

Click here for examples of the many ways that these scarves can be styled.

And just when you thought this Fall's new trends couldn't get any better... you see a crossbody bag that just begs to go home with you, when you're taking a 'small' trip to Target.  

Oii vey!

So, tell me...

Have you tried a blanket scarf?  How do you wear yours?

What's your "it" bag this Fall?
