Tis the Season for Scarfs and Boots

I am completely and utterly obsessed with scarf’s and boots, which can be confirmed by my ever growing collection.  One might think I lived somewhere other than the consistently sunny and 70 degree So Cal but I love that it gets just cold enough to rock my favorite fall/winter attire without having to deal with ice or snow. So you can imagine my delight when the last few weeks I could finally feel the chill in the air confirming that I have several months ahead where every outfit can be chic and cozy. 

I recently received an emailer from Rachel Zoe’s team with a link to a YouTube video (http://bit.ly/snPqar) where in under 5 minutes you can learn more ways to wear a scarf than I ever could have imagined - my heart about burst. A good scarf collection can add a pop of color or pattern to any neutral outfit and make it appear as though a professional stylist dressed you herself.  It really is all about accessories!  Not to mention that a beautiful scarf can make the perfect gift for any woman or man on your list.

Then there are boots - flat boots, tall boots, short boots, ankle boots, cowboy boots.  They really are the most comfortable yet fashionable footwear.  Rugged, sexy, edgy – you name it – there’s a boot to slip into for that and it will transform your entire outfit.  I do believe Steve Madden (www.stevemadden.com) is king of the affordable yet stylish stomper but I LOVE getting recommendations from others who have found their perfect boot, so please share yours with me so I can add them to my Pinterest board and lust after them.

What clothing item/accessory/shoe do you gravitate towards during the winter season?

Jewelry that Rocks!

A friend and fabulous lady, Jessica McInnis, has tapped into her creativity and started a rad collection of jewelry that can be found on www.urbanearmor.com.  You would never know that during the day she's in accounting with all this style and beauty oozing out of her – she is the gorgeous gal modeling the jewelry on the site! 

I always love sharing a good find and this is definitely one of them. I’m sporting the jaw dropping statement necklace (shorter version of the Bevor) in the picture below but am also coveting the Gorget earrings on her site. 

The necklace was personally delivered to me by Jessica and be still my heart – the packaging is perfectly branded and just as fun as the necklace itself.  I’ve been rocking my present from her a few times a week ever since – thanks Jessica!
