pink + grey

The weather is starting to change around these parts, and it actually feels like a crisp fall air, in the early mornings! You know, any excuse to break out with my tights and winter dresses :)

A mix up of pink + grey sounds good to me.

Black + Yellow

Black and yellow is such a catchy little color combination. I think it's just that pop of yellow against the harsh black, that gives it that second look! I have so many color combo's that I adore and black and yellow never falls short!

Here are a couple snaps of the catchy combo styled with some pieces from my vintage collection.

A little catching up to do….

How are you my lovely blogger friends, I hope your new year is kicking off to a sweet start!

I have been out of the blog groove for a week or so, so today I spent some time catching up with all of my favorite reads and made some time for a quick catch-up post. My recent outfit of the day posts, care of the ever so handy Instagram application for the i-phone-genious! My style moods obviously ran wild and I changed things up quite a bit....

I recently re-discovered this cute argyle vest in the back of my closet (love it when that happens!)  I gave it a new life with this lovely yellow top I thrifted a few months back and my bright blue 1950s cigarette pants!

An equestrian feeling.....

brown tweed blazer: vintage

brown knit tie top blouse: thrifted

 jersey knit leggings: target {an updated comfortable alternative to jodphurs, for about town}

brown riding boots: vince camuto

A pair of loved and well broken in, red vintage cowboy boots. Comfortable, colorful and warm.

One of my favorite staples to "throw on"- the beret. Read all about this favorite little hat of mine in an article I wrote a while back for the Zocalo Magazine.
