New addition to the closet!

If you’re like me and every once and awhile like to treat yourself to something special then I suggest you make it worth it!
I decided it was time for a new purse!

I knew i wanted a fall colour, something I could wear dressed up, casual and would add a bang to any outfit. After an afternoon at Holt Renfrew trying bag after bag I didn't find anything that wowed me that was within my price range. Right when I decided to call it a day I saw something that caught my eye....Jewel-toned infused hues of dark turquoise leather and gold-toned hardware...Hello Alexander Wang. As soon as i tried on the Rocco Studded Shoulder bag I knew it was the one. Yes it may have been a tad over what I was hoping to spend but I knew it was an investment and will only look better with age. It really fits my style and exactly what I was looking for. Also I think I was trying to think of things to say to my husband to justify the splurge, good thing I prepped him beforehand!
It’s been two weeks now and I am loving my Rocco. Most men don’t understand a woman’s love for handbags and shoes but that’s fine, they don’t have to get it. We work hard therefor deserve something extra special every once and awhile! Also I'm happy to report my husband is definitely a fan of the bag, just as long as I don't come home and tell him I'd also like the Dove Gray one as well!

Socks with heels....you can do it!

When I'm planning an outfit and find myself looking for inspiration I like to Google different looks online (as I’m sure most of you do). I found there aren't many sites that are dedicated to outfits that work for the real world. I'm talking about regular girls who go to work, out for dinner, movies, parties or just out running around.



 
Wearing socks with heels is a good example as there are fantastic looks on the runway, or elaborate celebrities wearing something outrageous because they can (love you Rihanna) therefore I want to start sharing inspirations for different styles, trends, and looks that I enjoy and hope you do to.

Keeping it very causal:

Alexa Chung

 
 
Day to day
Chloe Sevigny

 
 
 


office appropriate





Night out
 
Leighton Meester

 
I think we know who we can thank for this look:

Dorothy, Wizard of Oz

 
Don't forget you can also do a high sock:
 
 
 
 
And just for fun here are a couple of girls that push the envelope which as I mentioned, you can't help but love them even more for it.
 
Rihanna

America Ferrera
