Did this seem like a quick week to anyone else? I think we are all getting into holiday mode with Thanksgiving last weekend and Christmas upon us. Hopefully you had a lovely week, and here are five thoughts to usher in the weekend!
1. Tortoise Shell. A new fashion love? Previously I’d never given this look much thought (in fact, I’m pretty sure I used to dislike it). But, after seeing these gorgeous Kate Spade tortoise shell earrings, I think I have a new opinion. I love the warm colors… and to be honest, it totally reminds me of Cheetah print 😉 I must be sold on it because just the other week I purchased a sale watch at Loft that was gold and faux tortoise shell. Overall, I think it’s just a chic and classic look… are you ready to jump on the bandwagon with me? 🙂
2. Harem Pants. While Black Friday shopoing at Kohl’s last week, I spotted some ‘harem pants’ for ultra cheap! They looked so comfy yet chic that I had to get them…. Now, this style is definitely out of my comfort zone, but I’ve been doing some research and it seems like there are a few key things needed to really pull off the look: 1. heels or pointy toed shoes, 2. some kind of structure on top (structured shoulders, jacket etc.), and 3. a graceful tuck (apparently long shirts over harem pants look sloppy). Here is an inspiration board I’ve created to help motivate myself to actually wear the pants 😉
3. Pear and Goat Cheese Salad. Folks, I have a new-found LOVE for salads. I like to think it all began with pear and goat cheese salad from Go Roma. This stuff is the bomb-digitty. I mean, talk about a perfect salad…. Since then, I’ve had fabulous caesar salads, delectable chopped salads, and more. Plust, at work when they provide lunch (which has been pretty often lately :)) they always serve a salad with it. If ever asked, are you a salad or soup person? I could whole-heartedly announce, ‘salad!’
4. Cheetah Phone Case. I’ve officially jumped off the deep end with this Cheetah craze…. Yes, below, that is the phone case I bought. I must be totally crazy, but for whatever reason, when I went to order a new phone case I was totally digging the gold sparkles and velvet cheetah spots 😉 Well, I’m sure I am crazy, but I’m loving it! Would you carry around a phone case like this?
5. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Just because Jake and I were singing Christmas carols earlier this week, here is a little tune for you to start your weekend with! I’m very excited for our first Christmas together. But, since it is our first time, I think we are a little slow on the uptake with decorating and such. Hopefully we’ll gather some neat decor and start some traditions, so when next year rolls around we’ll be ready before December rolls around!
Happy weekend everyone! 🙂
