Tory Burch Riding Boots, J.Crew Gallery Tees, Lace Peplum Top and Sparkly Things


Happy New Year!  I've been very, very behind with blogging and pictures.

Here are some of the favorite things I'm wearing now and/or recent holiday gifts.

I am obsessed with Tory Burch boots lately.  In November, I got a pair of Bristol Riding boots in coconut.  They look great with jeans, leggings, pencil skirts - you name it.  I wanted a pair of black boots as well.  I tried the Tory Burch Kiernan Riding Boot in Black (see side by side below with my Bristol).  I didn't think I should get two pair so soon, but really wanted them.


Luckily, I got the the for Christmas!   Now my Bristol boots have a new friend!

I love the gift boxes and bags from Tory Burch:

I love them both so much.  I can't decide which ones I love more.  I think it depends on the day and outfit!

The Bristol Riding boots look great with the J.Crew Schoolboy Blazer Beaded Tweed.  This is my favorite blazer.  I love at the tweed and collar.



Speaking of J.Crew, I got the Lace Peplum Top and love it.  I copied this look for New Year's Eve at the Space Needle with the top, black minnies (substituted the flates with my Black Tory Burch Kiernan Riding boots):


I'm also a fan of the new gallery tees from J.Crew.


I got the Hugo Guinness for J.Crew "Blah Blah Blah" Linen Tee.  I wore mine like Nicky Hilton did below.  I paired it with j.crew black minnies and flats.


I love this tee. I paired it with a a cashmere cardigan and J.Crew cerise bouquet-dot wool scarf.


I also got the J.Crew Hello Tee.  I haven't wore it yet and need to come up with some ideas for it.

Did you take advantage of any of the after Christmas sales?  I did and got the Darby glitter loafers.  I got them 40% off at $39.99.  I love some good sparkle.  Plus, these are super comfy.  I love these shoes.  I try to find any excuse to wear them, including less practical ones like walking the dog.

Speaking of sparkly things, I got the J.Crew Pear Bracelet on sale for $24.99.  I love this bracelet.

This bracelet is so much fun.  I have it on with the OPI color Honk if You Love OPI, which is more dark purple, but darker than I normally wear.

What are some of your favorite things?

‘Tis the Season to be Shopping!

At least I’m doing my part to boost the economy.  I spent Black Friday shopping.  I spent last weekend shopping and I spent this week shopping.  I went back to J.Crew and bought:

This wonderful Merino de longueur cardigan in heather carbon 
I also got the Drapey bateau tee with the sequins on the shoulders.  This is a fun shirt that I wore this weekend.  I bought the Fountain Cami -not that I need another silk cami, but it's a sale, right?  I also bought the Darla Cami:

I didn’t know if I should buy more camis with ruffles, but at $14.99 and $22.49 with discounts, I kind of had too, right?  I also got the Bayberry washed wool scarf,which I love:
I also bought the Perfect-fit tank in rose dust, which I am wearing underneath.  I bought the Knotted pearl and chain necklace (Madison’s request.  She loved it) and the Petite lavaliere necklace.  I also shopped the J.Crew Factory outlet online and got the Factory Wool Printed Scarf for $20.  I absolutely love this scarf!   I am happy with both scarfs and will get a lot of wear out of them. 


I tried on the Super 120s pétale dress.  This was just okay for me.  At $142, I want to love it. I was lukewarm, so I passed on it.
I also went to Bath and Body Works to stock up on hand soaps for the house (yummy holiday smells) and got this Gift with purchase. Then I went to the Coach outlet, which had an additional 20% these two beauties:
 As if last weekend wasn’t enough, I kept on shopping.  On Wednesday, I bought a car. I upgraded from my old 2002 BMW to a shiny BMW 550i in white.   A lot has changed since my I got my other one years ago, so I need to learn all of the new sounds and gadgets.   I was halfway afraid to drive it at first, but I love it now.  I drove smiling today!

 One would think buying a car would keep me out of the mall for a few days.   I already promised my co-worker that we would go to Nordstrom’s annual event.  It was a selfless act, I know, but I had to go.  I told myself I would be good.  It’s amazing how much you end up with when Nordstrom serves free Champagne.  J   I got the Cole Haan 'Air Talia' Booties that I’ve had my eye on forever.

What did you buy?

Holiday Shopping Adventures

I decided I couldn't resist some pre-game black Friday shopping with J.Crew's 25% off purchases of $150 or more. Seattle got hit with a big snowstorm, so I've worked from home for two days while Madison's been out of school. We both had cabin fever! My son Dylan is in from college for Thanksgiving break and we all went to
Bellevue Square. After going to Zumiez with Dylan and Justice for Girls with Madison to hit their holiday sales, and I went to J.Crew.

I tried on so many things in J.Crew that the Sales Associate (who seemed new, since I seemed to know more about what they had than she did) innocently asked "Wow, are you buying a new wardrobe?" I said,"No, adding to the existing one, since I can't pass up a good sale." I was too embarrassed to admit that I went through this ritual a month ago. :)

I ended up with the Infinity Cardigan in black, Muse Tank (both pictured), Merino Boyfriend Sweatshirt in lilac (I love it - want another in another color), another Coralie Cami (in cream, I have one in Iris) and another pearl necklace that I don't need but had to have another (cream this time, I have windsor grey which I love) at J.Crew. It was funny, there was one Merino Boyfriend Sweatshirt left in medium. I saw it and picked it up and there was a lady nearby headed in that direction. She asked me if I was going to try it on, I said yes, and she waited around while I tried it on, because if I didn't want it, she wanted it. (It was fabulous, too bad for her, but I wasn't letting go, even though she cased the dressing room). The Sales Associate offered to call the other stores but this lady seemed committed to what I had picked up. I was wearing my J.Crew sequin sweatshirt walking out of the dressing room, and the lady came back and asked the sales associate to find her the sweatshirt I was wearing. The sales associate had no idea what she was talking about, but I did, and showed her at the front of the store where they were. Why can't I commission as a helpful customer? :)

I also picked up some Stila products at Sephora. I tried on jeans and tops at Nordstrom, didn't see anything I loved (shocking, I know), so I will try the downtown store. I didn't see anything at Ann Taylor or Banana Republic that caught my eye, either.

I'm looking forward to spending time with my family on Thanksgiving, some more shopping on Black Friday. Amazon has some great deals online (my cart is waiting to be clicked!) and I got a $50 Groupon for Nordstrom Rack (for $25, couldn't pass it up). I saw some Cole Haan boots at the Rack on Sunday for a sweet deal. If they are still there, then it was meant to be. :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

PS.  Here it is on.  (PS- the shirt looks bunched and wrinkled the way I have my hands on my waist,  but you get the idea).  Tying it a bit more seems to work better, which i didn't do in my picture, but the J.Crew model did).
