WHAT TO WEAR: NYE 2016.

New Year's Eve is the absolute MOST fun night to dress for in my humble little opinion. I love the glitz and I live for champagne. The hunt for the perfect outfit never stops. I went out in search of this leather romper , but it was nowhere to be found (tear!) and I ended up with this pencil skirt instead. (It was cheaper! Winning.) 

I am envisioning wearing it with a lace bralette top like this one. Don't you love when you have an outfit in your head and it ends up working!? Literally makes me feel like Rachel Zoe. Now I just need to figure out my shoe situation. Maybe these?

What are your plans for NYE!? I can't wait to see ya, 2017.

SUNNY SIDE UP.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, my little bambinos! Wait, I think bambino is actually Italian. WELL. I don't know about y'all, but cinco is by far my favorite de Mayo, because let's be honest, no one has ever understood May Day. If queso isn't involved, I am not really interested. Grab yourself a marg (hold the salt, because puffy face) and let's talk jumpsuits, shall we?

JUMPSUIT / EARRINGS / ENVELOPE CLUTCH (SIMILAR HERE AND HERE) / TASSEL HEELS

If it was acceptable to live in a jumpsuit, I would. I ordered this one during my "People vs. OJ Simpson" watching spree and literally died laughing when I put it on because it reminded me so much of Johnny Cochran's collection of silk pajamas. That man DRESSED for bed, let me tell you. I also lovingly refer to it as Colonel Mustard, but honestly, it is one of my favorite purchases this year. It is under $40 and could not be more comfortable, plus you don't even need a bra. Funny story...I wore this to a wedding and forgot pasties, so I wore x-shaped band-aids underneath. I looked like a budget super-hero. Do as I say guys, not as I do. 

GOLDEN 'GRAMS.

Hi my Gilties! I am back from what feels like 3 weeks of traveling (dramatic), and am playing catch up like nobody's business. Miami was amazing. The weather was perfect, and there is something so great about a group of girlfriends that can spend most of the year apart, but come back together and laugh like absolutely zero time has passed. I am very thankful for my favorite five, that is for sure.

One of the hardest things about beach packing for me is remembering to bring anything to wear during the day that isn't a bikini or a cover-up. (But speaking of cover-ups...I am very much obsessed with this one I just got before my trip! Looks way more expensive than $19.99!) This amazing jumpsuit from Show Me Your Mumu is perfect to throw on for lunch or to wear out for dinner. I was sold on the print alone before I even saw the whole outfit. It's also on sale! I got an XS, but it does run slightly small in the waist, so I would recommend going up a size if you want it to be less squeezy and more breezy.

It also comes in pants and a dress...I am dying for the pants! Tax return? Hi. Could you hurry it up?

BELT IT OUT: BURGANDY JUMPSUIT.

It's almost V-day and you know what that means. I am seeing all shades of RED. You guys know I love a good jumpsuit and this one dead serious called my name from across the room. This is another amazing find from Shelvie Jean and it is $42. I meeean…STEAL. I paired it with my old faithful H&M blazer and those French Connection pumps I picked up on NYE, accessorized with my stackable rings from shopalix.com and finished it off with a French Connection clutch. A little monochromatic dressing can go a very long way. Links to shop are below these 763 photos of moi!

This would be such a chic Valentine's Day moment! Unexpectedly sexy, while still keeping it classy. GILTY 101, y'all. Class stays in sesson.
SIDE NOTE: I just added a link to ATL's best March pawrty...LEPRE*CON. Click on the gorg glittery icon at the top of my page for a special discount. Tix are only $10 for now! Aren't you lucky.

MIX IT UP: leopard + stripes.

Cooler temps bring on the option to layer, which is a big ol' YAY because it gives you SO much more fashion freedom! I love a good monochromatic look, don't get me wrong, but I also love to mix it up every now and then. One of my favorite combos is leopard + stripes. Here are two ways I love to wear this odd little couple:
mixing, prints, leopard, stripes
LOOK 1: TOP / DENIM / SHOE / LIPSTICK 
LOOK 2: TOP / SCARF / DENIM / SHOE / LIP GLOSS

Look 1 is an unapologetically rude night out with your favorite friend-girls, and look 2 is a super casual "I'm-running-errands-but-look-how-trendy-I still-am-without-even-trying" type of vibe. I dig both VERY much.

Tomorrow is Halloween and I am so excited, I probably won't sleep at all. That's a total lie as I am beyond exhausted and have been in pajamas since about 6:07pm. I get off work at 6pm sharp. Here is one last way I like to wear leopard…another example of when it was time to SAY GOODNIGHT.

OLIVE YOU.

OH HI, JENELLE. How has everyone's week been? Mine has been borderline terrible and long, and on top of that, Laura Diem told me I have to avoid ham this week. IS TURKEY BACON CONSIDERED A HAM?! On the plus side, I had a great dental visit which left me feeling very confident orally. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Let's talk more happy things like adult onesies, shall we?

Olive green has always been one of my faves for fall and this year is no exception. It is flattering on everyone, but I really love it on blondes (sorry brownies) and totally blame that on Jessica Simpson's box office hit, Major Movie Star. 2008 was a really great year. When I found this jumpsuit at Express, I knew I had to make it mine. The fact that I had a coupon just further reiterated this point. Anytime I can combine shopping, destiny and thriftiness, I become very excited.

Don't worry, I'm getting these god-awful roots fixed this weekend so we can all enter our Labor Day Weekends with peace of mind. Love you, mean it.
