 Lately I've been seeing kiss prints everywhere. From jewelry to clothes to accessories, these kitchy lips make your look just a smooch, I mean smidge, cuter. They're totally inspiring me to play around and have fun with my looks! Plus everything is budget friendly - which I know you guys love! Oh and I think these would make super cute gifts - for a birthday or the holidays! Happy Wednesday! xoxo

Outfit Post: I'm A Hipster

Okay, I'm not really... but I sure do feel like one when I wear my new glasses. You see, although I've been wearing glasses since I was 10, I've never bought a fashionable pair. Since I wear my contacts every day, my glasses are usually reserved for night time, weekend mornings or when I'm sick. They've always been inexpensive, simple and small framed - never much to look at. I've always wanted to experiment with new looks but I just never took the time or the money to buy nicer frames. However all that that changed a few weeks ago when I found Firmoo.

Firmoo is an online optical store that offers a bazillion frame choices, colors, sizes etc.. Well not quite that many but there's definitely a lot to choose from. They're running a promotion where your 1st order of frames are free (all you pay for is the shipping). I knew I couldn't pass up the opportunity to score a new pair and try something new! I've always loved those over-sized, masculine (surprise, surprise), wayfarer Buddy Holly-esque frames. So I finally took the plunge and got a pair!

They're just a smidge larger than I originally thought, but other than that, I LOVE them. It's kind of nice to try something different. After all, I own like 20 pairs of sunglasses, so why not offer some variety with my prescription eye wear! I've enjoyed wearing them outside of my living room and they're definitely a conversation starter. Besides, when have I ever said "be normal"? Ummm never? So if you're ready for a change or just want a little spice in your life - go visit Firmoo. Even if you don't need prescription eye wear, they offer sunglasses too! Now on to my outfit details....

Glasses: Firmoo

Sweater: Anat B.

Denim: Express

Boots: Etienne Aigner via DSW

Clutch: JJ Winters Leather Crossbody c/o LASH Clothing (20% off with code BAD20)

 

So happy I snagged this textured orange clutch from LASH Clothing. I think my favorite part might be the gold chain that I can pull out whenever I need a free hand. So perfect! Happy Tuesday everyone! xoxo

Outfit Post: Striped Camo

Happy {belated} Veteran's Day everyone! I'm so incredibly thankful for the men & women who serve our country. All their sacrifices give us a peace of mind and freedom that is totally irreplaceable. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

 

 

 

Camo Trousers: Zara (recent)

Sweater: Banana Republic (last seaon on major sale!)

Bag: c/o GiGi New York

Shoes: Target

 

Lately, I can't get enough of army green or camo. I scooped up these trousers from Zara last month & have been wearing them non-stop. They're sooo comfy, have super cute details (like the zippers) and I love that they fit my ankles when wearing flats which hardly ever happens since I'm so petite. Continuing on the mixed prints trend train, I choose a neutral colored striped sweater that wasn't overly competitive but complimentary to the green patches. Topped it off with the fabulous bag I received while visiting GiGi New York in September for a perfectly casual fall outfit. Well, minus the bad hair day I was having ;)

 

I'm finally beginning to not only feel inspired again but that I'm also getting back into my groove. I guess sometimes we all just need a little break. Thanks for all your supportive comments, tweets & posts! Here's to the start of a kick ass week! :)
