Sweater or Sweatshirt?


I have been loving the past few weeks of real Fall weather.  The chill in the air brings so much excitement and anticipation for the start of the Holiday season.  I adore the colors of Autumn and the beautiful contrasting trees that line the streets.  The crisp air automatically lifts my spirits.  Can you tell this is my favorite time of year! AND of course with cool weather brings the opportunity to layer up! A layered look is by far one of my favorites.  Under each layer can offer an element of surprise and a mix of different textures. This day was simply a lazy Sunday.  Rupal and I took a short stroll around Tudor City before grabbing some lunch.  This casual look is super cute and fun for any day.
  This outfit's navy and tan color theme is simple and classic while showing color pops from Rupal's Capwell + Co statement necklace and her bright lip color.  This beautiful necklace was a gift from Capwell + Co from Lucky Fabb and I couldn't resist passing it off to Rupal to wear over her cream sweater.  I should also mention that this sweater/sweatshirt from Anthropologie is amazing!    It appears to be a sweater when layered under a jacket. When worn by itself you can see that it is a sweater on the front and a sweatshirt on the back and arms. The material is super soft.  I am pretty sure I will have to buy this top for myself. Sorry for being a copy - cat Rup :)

Rupal says " One thing comes to mind when wearing this outfit, its comfortable!  The sweater and hat were so warm and cozy, the jeans are stretchy so they always fit just right, and the shoes are so light that I could wear them all day.  I'm also in love with my new jacket.  I can pretty much wear it with any casual outfit because it is so basic, but the gold and leather details really make it unique".

Stella & Dot Giveaway!

Mae Necklace

Happy Weekend Everyone!  Hope you all had a Happy Halloween.  We thought we would jump start the weekend with a fun Giveaway from Stella & Dot.  A few weeks ago Kelly and I hosted an S&D trunk show.  It was a great excuse to get old and new friends together while sipping on cocktails and trying on the baubles of our choice.  An old friend from high school, Shannon Burgwald was our S&D stylist, which made things even more fun since we rarely get to see her.  She was so knowledgable and helpful to everyone exploring all of the jewelry options.  She is definitely our favorite stylist :) After our two hour jewelry party turned into 4 hours of non-stop fun, Kelly and I picked out 2 great pieces that we thought our readers would really enjoy, the Mae necklace and the Tia cross-body bagShannon was awesome enough to sponsor yet another amazing giveaway!   The Mae is super pretty and versatile and can also be the perfect piece to add to any holiday or party outfit. This beauty looks perfect when paired with the Somervell or Christina link necklace, also available at  S&D.  The Tia bag is a simple and chic design that can be taken anywhere.  Use it as an easy cross-body or remove the strap to sport a clutch.
We'd like to give a BIG "Thanks" to Shannon for being such a wonderful stylist and our great friend Jenn for surrendering her house for our festivities.

Enter to win through the Raffelcopter at the end of this post.  Two winners will be drawn.  Good Luck!
