Today's Copycat Lookbook post (where I find looks I love and put them together with pieces I already own) is inspired by a blog that I started following a while ago and she definitely pushes me to play with color.....you guys need to check out Bittersweet Colours so you can inject some vibrancy into your wardrobes! I saw her rock this burgundy and mustard look a couple of weeks ago and I was like plaid shirt....burgundy blazer and mustard pants...boom, done! 

So...Christmas came and went and it actually was full of surprises! My amazing husband surprised me with a Furla Candy Bag and I was pretty shocked because I had written down on a scrap of paper months ago that I wanted one and thought it had been thrown away....but he saved it this whole time! 

I also got some awesome Stella & Dot goodies from my in-laws (ok I picked them out but still!). You can see my Christmas loot on the What2Wear Facebook page and instagram!!!! PS I'm also excited because I'm heading to my parents house at the beach today and who knows....I might have more surprises there (hopefully some dang Starbucks gift cards!)

And for the necklace du jour.....The Stella & Dot Windsor Tassel

     You guys, it is safe to say that I have an obsession with Anna Dello Russo......I'm seriously in awe of her style and the deeper I dig into her philosophies on fashion the more I grow to love her. So today's Copycat Lookbook is inspired by ADR herself....I've been staring at this photo since fashion week thinking of a way to recreate it...because the Copycat Lookbook series is all about putting together looks with items I already own and all.... and last week it donned on me. I don't have a green jacquard jacket and pale pink pants......BUT I do have a pale pink jacket and green jacquard pants....plus a blue button up, crazy sunnies and an awesome clutch!!!!!! PS the shopping bag I'm holding is full of some vintage goodies I picked up during this photo sesh that I can't wait to show you guys!)

I know this outfit may seem kind of cray cray but I have to be honest....its one of my favorites, ever. By channeling Anna I almost feel more powerful and free to be me, that's what fashion does to me......I walk around every day literally with my heart on my sleeve. I figured I would leave you with some of my favorite ADR quotes, because fashion should be fun and full of joy.......(PSS I REALLY enjoyed hearing about the items in your closet's that make your spouse's cringe!!!!)

"The message is having your own fashion week, You can play with low budget, but you can renovate your wardrobe like if you were front row." 

 'Wearing lots of JEWELLERY. the sound of JEWELLERY banish bad thoughts and bad ghosts."

"Color me! ACCESSORIZE me!

shock me!"

"FASHION is such stuff as

DREAMS are made on…"

And now for the accessories du jour....The Stella & Dot Liz Drop Earrings

And the Stella & Dot Chelsea Tech Wallet

Happy Wednesday skrillas. Today's Copycat Lookbook outfit is inspired by an ensemble Alexa Chung recently wore to an event. So simple; a hunter green sweater, a leather skirt, a hat and black heels. I chose to take the look in a sportier direction with the pieces I already owned and I'll be honest....I wasn't even going to get these booties but I'm sure you have noticed I have been rocking the heck out of them lately.

And although I'm not as foul mouthed or fashion brazen as Alexa, she does inspire me to step up my game. So cheers to you Alexa Chung, you bloody awesome style maven.

thank you to the amazing Molly for taking these pics

Sorry for the absence for the past couple of days, my sweet doodle bug got his first ear infection and he needed mommy's undivided attention. He was feeling a little better today so here we go.....

Anywhos, I have some exciting news to share with you. Today is the first of my new "Copycat Lookbook" feature where I put together outfits inspired by other bloggers and celebrities with items I already own, yea you heard me. Everything in the Lookbook will be items already in my closet..... Because I think it's time I tapped into my closet's full potential!

The first feature is an old school shot of Blair from Atlantic-Pacific. I can't remember when it was from but I bookmarked it and found it the other day. I was so excited that it's gotten cold enough to finally wear some faux fur! I hope you like the new feature and let me know if there are any looks that YOU would like me to recreate :)
