Affinity for (zebra) stripes


Both times I have worn this jacket, I have paired it with a zebra stripe top. I guess in my mind zerbra stripes and brass studs go together.

Faux leather jacket - Macy's
Cami - New York & Company
Cardigan - Old Navy
Trousers - The Limited
Necklace and Heels - Target

Exploding lamp


One of my children (most likely my 4-year old) played with the settings on my camera. This is the best picture I could get. I love how the flash makes the lamp behind me look like it is exploding.

I have to draw attention to these boots. Aren't they fabulous? I have been wanting both a pair of red boots and a pair of Frye boots. It must have been my lucky day when I found these Frye cowboy boots on sale (over $200 off!).

The outfit:
Dress - H&M
Long sleeve T - Ann Taylor Loft
Leggings - New York & Company
Boots - Frye (via Amazon.com)

20 Inches


As of this morning, we had 20 inches of snow in our front yard. Despite alll of our snow, I still had to go to work. I had several meetings today in different buildings which required treks across campus. Normally I would reserve an uber-casual outfit like this for the weekend. But, I didn't trust the grounds crew to have the sidewalks clear, so I dressed for the weather. I was warm and didn't ruin any of my shoes.

The outfit:
Tee - Target
Sweater - Express
Fur Vest - Old Navy
Belt - Ann Taylor Loft
Skinny jeans - New York & Company
Shearling boots - EMU

Cut and colored

I visited one of my favorite places on Saturday, the salon. My red hair was getting orangey, so a color retouch was in order. Red hair has been a fun color for the winter, but I think as the weather starts to warm I will revert back to being a blond.

The outfit:

Silk, ruffled tank and skirt - Ann Taylor Loft
Cardigan and tights - Target
Belt - taken from another skirt/dress
Floral brooch on belt - Target
Bracelet and necklace - New York & Company
Booties - Payless
