The Best Of 2011

Hey Everyone!
After blogging for my first full year I thought it would be fun to compile my favorite outfits from each month of 2011. For everyone who has been a long time reader THANK YOU and i'm sorry because you have seen these all and for those of you joining WELCOME and hopefully I can lend some inspiration!

It has been a great year and I feel like I have accomplished so much...yet so little, as I have BIG plans for Hot Pink Day and Blue Vanilla this next year!

Thank you everyone who has been SO supportive! This community is awesome and SO inspirational at all times!

Hey Everyone!

I was watching Clueless on TV while putting this post together and could't resist one of the best lines of the movie...such a classic.

I was having a conversation with a close friend the other day about who girls dress for. Everyone seems to have a different answer...Some chicks dress for guys (MOST guys like simple v-neck tops, nice fitting jeans...not too much going on..most not all) Some girls dress for other girls (you know who those are) and lastly some chicks dress for themselves! This is me, I dress in whatever my mood feels like putting on, whatever creation comes to mind, it is a different look every single day.

So my question for you is who do you dress for? Do you let others influence you?

Hope everyone is having a great start to their week! Thank you for all the sweet comments and love!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Back to the grind!! I had such a fabulous time off I DID NOT want to come back to work! I am definitely about 10 pounds heavier due to all the pumpkin and pecan pie I ate but I am ok with that...That is what the Holidays are for!

I REALLY wanted a white blazer so I did some online searching and found this lil beauty on eBay for three dollars...with shipping! Score. I also added a piece of our shoe jewelry to the mix so everyone can see how versatile its is and how much of a fun edge it adds to any outfit. LOVE.

Owning a jewelry store I of course have TONS of accessories to choose from...but that often confuses me when trying to put an outfit together....I LOVE everything but I never want to over do it...Like this outfit...Do you like it with the red bracelet or the turquoise necklace better? I just couldn't decide!

Have a fabulous day everyone and thanks for all your comments and support as always!
