Who Inspires Me (Fashion Wise) - Taylor Swift

Can y'all believe it is December already? I can't. But, I have some fun posts/videos planned out for December. Plus, this weekend I'll be having a gift shopping guide going up! Anyhow, today it is time once again for another post in my Who Inspires Me (Fashion Wise) series. Today I'm focusing on Taylor Swift - who has a very vintage, yet modern style. Which is very me. In fact, to help me find all of my favorite outfits of her's I've made a pinterest board just for pictures of her - very handy.

Where does Taylor get her dresses? They are so nice & long. They would be an amazing length on me since she is taller then me by a few inches.
 I always love her colorful winter coats. Of course, I adore her floral dress paired with a neutral heel too. 
 Eep! I adore her polka-dot top, bow belt, and full skirt! Of course, her heels look very vintage-y too. LOVE. Then we have her cute polka-dot jean outfit on the right. Hmm...to recreate this look I just need some polka-dot jeans {which I would love to own someday, btw}. 
 I really love Taylor's make-up and hair. Her floral blouse & coral-y/pinkish/reddish jeans are cute! They have a kind of early-mid '60s vibe to them.

What do you think of Taylor's style? What is your favorite outfit of her's?

Spread the Polish Swap | Reveal

A few weeks ago I signed up for my first nail polish swap, which ended up being lots of fun! LaLa Lists & Lipgloss and Crayons were the two blogs who put together the swap {thanks so much for putting this together Rachel & Carly, it was lots of fun!}.

My partner was Jasmine from Green eyed Monster! It was fun buying for her and she bought me the perfect nail polish colours for me. You can see what I got Jasmine here.
Jasmine sent me the colour Cajun Shrimp by OPI {which is more pink then it is showing up in the picture above} and Wine Not by Sally Hansen {which is a more cranberry colour}. I love both nail polishes and can't wait to wear them. The OPI colour will be perfect for our vacation to the beach next month, so I'll save that colour for then. *smile*

But thanks so much for the lovely nail polished, Jasmine!

What I Wore | Jean Jacket + Hi-Low Skirt

::What I'm Wearing:: Hi-low Skirt made by me // Coral Tunic Target // Jean Jacket Express via Simply Chic // Belt Forever 21 // Peacock Earrings Payless Shoes // Boots Target

I'm so excited to finally have a jean jacket in my wardrobe. They are so versatile and add that perfect touch to many outfits. Like yesterday I wore this jean jacket with a floral dress, colorful necklace, oxblood red tights, and black boots - the jean jacket simply added that perfect touch to the outfit {one of these days I'll have to share pictures of that outfit}! Then today I wore an outfit I wore back in August on our trip to Tennessee this summer, but added a jean jacket {it really completes the outfit} and winter-fid the outfit up a bit.

How do you feel about jean jackets? If you have one, what is your favorite way to style a jean jacket?

What I Wore | Graphic Tee & Blazer [+ Black Friday Haul]

::What I'm Wearing::
Navy Blazer -- Goodwill
 Oxblood Skinny Jeans -- H&M
Captain America Tee -- JCPenny
Boots -- Bass Shoe Outlet
Earrings -- Forever 21

Howdy everyone! How was your Thanksgiving weekend my American friends? Mine was fantastic! We've started watching Christmas movies this weekend: It Happened on 5th Avenue {1947} & Home Alone {1990}. When do y'all start watching Christmas movies? 

How was everyone's Black Friday? I found a bunch of things in-store & online for myself and for presents {in fact, I've finished ALL of Christmas shopping already}. If you would like to know what I bought, you can watch the following haul video that I filmed.


Now, about my outfit. I really wanted to wear my new Captain America tee today, so I paired it with my oxblood skinny jeans & a navy blazer {since the shirt is short sleeves & the weather has turned cold again here}. Anyhow, I can't wait to try different outfit combinations with this tee {perhaps with my pleated skirt & a blazer/or cardigan}.

What to Wear for Thanksgiving

Hey everyone! I realized I hadn't done many of these holiday outfit ideas posts this year. I used to do these all the time, but I guess I got out of the habit this year. Anyhow, Thanksgiving is this Thursday in America and I thought it would be amazing to share some outfit ideas for Thanksgiving Day. So without further ado, let's get started.


This year for Thanksgiving I'm into a more cozy, country, comfy - yet dressy style this year {yet, I still don't know what I'm wearing}. Anyhow....I think henleys, gingham or denim button-downs, cozy sweaters, or peplum tops would be amazing to wear. The sweaters can go casual or dressy {depending on several points: how you style it & what the style of the sweater is}.

Skirts for Thanksgiving


If you are going to go with a skirt for Thanksgiving, I think it best to keep it on the dressy side. You will look more put-together and it fits the occasion of being with family & friends. You could go with a plaid skirt {full or pencil}, a floral skirt is fun, as is a brocade skirt, but then again, you could go with a solid color skirt {again, in either a pencil or full}.

Jeans for Thanksgiving


I also think jeans can be dressy too, or if you are more the relaxed & non-dressy type of girl these are a perfect choice. That's the beauty of jeans {or a jean skirt}, they can be dressy or completely casual depending on how you style them.

Colored Jeans for Thanksgiving


I also think colored jeans are pretty amazing {hmm...I might go with this option personally}. Of course, I really love the mustard & plum for Thanksgiving {not sure why}. Ooh..the mint ones would look amazing with a grey polka-dot pullover sweater and grey heels.

Shoes for Thanksgiving


In case, you have no clue on what shoes to wear. Take a peak at this set...the perfect pair of shoes can really make an outfit, as can the wrong pair totally ruin a beautiful outfit.

Jewelry for Thanksgiving


Right now I'm not completely into necklaces, or is it just for Thanksgiving {hmm...not sure}? Anyway, I think a pair of cute & unique earrings would be great! Of course, if you don't have your ears pierced, you can go with a great bracelet {they have some really cute ones these days, or you can make your own with a DIY you can find browsing around on Pinterest}. But this year for Thanksgiving, just keep the jewelry simple {it will make it that much easier to hang with family, play some football, or do some cooking without worrying about your jewelry}.
