New Fashion Goodies: Boots, Coat, Jeans & More

It's been way too long since I last did a nice, lighthearted "look at the stuff I got!" post, AMIRIGHT?! Most of the below items are things that have actually been in my wardrobe for a couple of months now, but - heyooo - I am a little far behind with blogging things. Perhaps now is the first time that my mood has been conducive to sharing something as carefree and brainless as a goodies blog... so let's ride that wave before it dries up, shall we?!

HERE WE GO!

Roxy Mariposa Boots
I shit you not, it took me about 3 years to find a pair of fashionable boots that suited both my tastes and my needs. When I spotted these little ladies at my local Off Broadway Shoes, I figured that they must be too good to be true - that they would end up being uncomfortable or something. BUT THEY'RE NOT! I have walked so many miles in these boots, and they've never given me a single bit of trouble. I'm even thinking very seriously about buying a second pair as a backup. I love the light fleecy lining, the slouchy feel and the rustic looking buckles

Wait Up! Boot
These boots were an impulse buy thanks to a flash 50% off sale from Modcloth. Riding the high of the successful Roxy boots, I simply couldn't resist getting a new pair of black boots to accompany the new brown ones. These Wait Up boots are a littttle bit big on me, but adorable nonetheless. I love the buttons up the side and the woven lining that pokes out of the top of the boot.

MIA Clarissa Flats
Lady Confession:  In general, I am not a fan of flats. They just don't do it for me, style-wise, nor do I really care for the way they look on me. However, recognizing that they are a handy thing to own in the event of an "oh my god, these heels are KILLING me" moment, I finally caved and bought some recently. Mind you, I still don't like them very much. But as far as flats go, these sparkly rhinestone-covered black ones seemed as inoffensive as possible.

Danton Coat from BB Dakota
Ok so I don't mean to startle you, but people have been pooping themselves over this jacket everytime I wear it. Friends, family members, complete strangers... even blind people can sense that I'm wearing an amazing coat and give me compliments on it. It's a woven wool blend with a generously sized fold-over collar, a cape-like feel, an ombre knit, and nice deep pockets (which, believe it or not, were missing from my last "nice" winter coat). I can also pull up the collar around my face when I get too chilly. This jacket has definitely been the standout MVP purchase of the last couple of months.

Merona Tunic
My sister Mallory got me this sweater tunic for Christmas and DAY-UM did she hit the nail on the head!! She totally gets my style and always picks out things I like. This tunic is a knit of speckled white and black with slim fitting arms and a SIMPLY delicious cowl neck. I'm obsessed with it. The only problem will be trying to keep myself from wearing it every single day.

Merona Knit Lace Infinity Scarf
Mallory also gave me this infinity scarf, except this one was a birthday present. Believe it or not, my first infinity scarf! And goes perfectly with my white and black Danton coat.

Old Navy Rockstar JeansI have a bad feeling that these jeans give me the dreaded "long butt", so I have barely worn them out of the house yet. Maybe if I just do about one million squats, then I'll feel confident enough to wear them.

... and speaking of feeling confident enough to wear something...

DAILYLOOK High Waist Vegan Leather Leggings
So maybe I didn't need to own the shiniest pair of vegan leggings in the world... but I do now, nonetheless. And these are most definitely going to require nerves of steel to wear in public. Or a shot of tequila. I MEAN. AM I SERIOUS WITH THESE THINGS? Where will I even wear pants such as these??? All I can say is that 2015 better have some really weird night clubs in store for me or else these pants are going to give me a raging case of purchase regret.

DAILYLOOK High Waist Vegan Leather Leggings
Ok well there are definitely some items that I've overlooked that aren't being included in this blog, but we've gone far enough haven't we? Let's end with the vegan leggings that may never see the light of day.

Spring Maxi Dress Guide 2014

Last year I did a round up of spring time maxi dresses, and it's been one of my most popular blogs! An update seemed in order, especially given the abundance of MAG-freaking-NIFICENT dresses I've been seeing around zee web lately!

SIT BACK LADIES (and gent?) and let's get to browsing some of these diverse maxi dresses from Modcloth, Forever21, H&M, Urban Outfitters, and Victoria's Secret!

MODCLOTH

I love that this dress mixes neutrals and brights for you. 
And check out the cute crochet detail on the back!

This bohemian-esque dress has ALL THE STRIPES and a crazy cage-style back.
I really like the "sea glass" colors of this dress.

Classic navy and white combo. The white lace detail on the arm area is slimming, and the lace on the lower portion of the dress is so pretty! It even has a cute keyhole in the back.

This patchwork style dress brings out the country girl in me. The ruffly panel in the bodice area would also be pretty flattering for a small-chested lady such as myself!

Black and white is looking reeeeal good in this dress. 
I love that the chevrons vary in width towards the bottom.

And you all know that I'm a sucker for orchids.

FOREVER21

I love the colorful pattern of this dress, plus the slits that make it easier to walk in. Perfect for me because I like to walk REALLY FAST.

H&M

Just give me a beach, some sun, and a coconut to sip out of, and I'll be ready to rock this dress.

This black hi-lo dress is so versatile - you could probably find a reason to wear it once a week from now till September.

URBAN OUTFITTERS

This one seems effortless and sporty, with cutouts in just the right place! There are other color options available - including a navy/grey one that I also liked.

This super pleated, flowy dress comes in lots of colors, but I love this Aqua Frost the best.
In the navy picture, you can see what the back looks like.

I adoooooore this dress!! It reminds me of mint chocolate Dippin' Dots, which isn't weird at all. As a bonus, it's on sale right now.

Hopefully this maxi dress round-up has been helpful or inspiring for you! I had a few other dresses picked out, but they are already sold out! Better snag 'em fast guys.

Holiday Dresses for Different Occasions!

A couple of months ago my good friends Abigail and Geoff asked me to be a part of their summer 2014 wedding. They're juuuust a couple of my all-time favorite people, who have been together for over 10 years now, so I was #SRSLY bursting with joy at the prospect of being part of their nuptials.

What does that thrilling news have to do with holiday dresses? WELL, thanks for asking. Abby's got a super exciting concept for her bridesmaids' dresses (which I won't divulge here, only because it's not my news to spill!), so I've been having a freaking BLAST scouring different websites for dresses with her theme in mind. As a bi-product of that bridesmaid dress search, I've been coming across some other amaaaaaazing dresses lately. It inspired me to put together this round-up of dresses that would be great for upcoming holiday parties.

Whether you're heading to an office party, a family party, or just a fun 'n fancy dress-up party with your homegirls/boys, I hope these dresses give you some inspiration for your holiday looks!
