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

Well happy Friday skrillas. Last weekend was the Poppy Magazine and triFABB holiday party and it was a rockin good time. Other than leaving empty handed and broken hearted after falling in love with a jacket at Clothes Hound it was a great evening......when it comes to paying the power bill or getting a new jacket....I guess I would rather have the lights on in my home to view all of the awesome jackets I already own.

Anywhos, I'm sure its no surprise that I have mixed feelings on H&M...I LOVE their edgy, trendy clothes but I get so sick of seeing the same items over and over again on the blogosphere so I tend to steer away from the store. However, I went in for the pre-Black Friday sale a couple of weeks ago and couldn't resist these floral satin pants....I was like whatevs, I'm sure no one else will rock them the way I will!!

Above is the outfit I wore to the party and below you can see me frolicking around in the aforementioned beloved jacket ...PS I had a request on how to DIY my sunnies from the last post and its up on the What2Wear Facebook page so check it out and have a loverly weekend skrillas....pss you are most definitely going to want to check back on Monday...I have something pretty exciting to show you!

And now for the necklace du jour....The Stella & Dot Estate Bib

And a little weekly recap for ya!

Do you guys ever find yourselves sitting at the beginning of January asking "where did the holidays go...they always fly by so fast..." I know I do every year. This year I decided to make December all about holiday opulence....sequins, leather, fur, decadent fabrics, bright colors and tons of jewels. This way I can get my holiday spirit right where it needs to be! So today's opulence: sequins of course!

Also, do you guys have any items in your wardrobe that your spouse just hates? Bahahaha this little red corvette sweater is definitely on my husband's burn list which makes me lurve it even more.

So here's to the holidays skrillas....may yours be merry and bright :)

Happy happy Monday skrillas. I just got these shoes in the mail last week (free with my Mintsider reward points!) and they are just gorgeous....the only thing is they are super va-va-voom....now, don't get me wrong I love a little bit of voom but I wanted to tone them down a little with something more masculine....like boyfriend jeans.

This lead me on a wild goose chase which ultimately ended in defeat....every pair with either too loose or too tight. I came home and scoured through my closet (my mecca, the only place in the house that is entirely mine) and pulled out these cropped trousers from Loft. A cobalt blue light bulb went off! Just enough balance off masculine and feminine......perfect for a trunk show (one of the only times during the month that I actually get to dress up!)

PS I'm linking up with Molly today so be sure to check that out.....you really need to see her new dynamite haircut!!

And for the necklace du jour....The Stella & Dot Stevie which i just found out this morning is 50% off when you use the code "PEOPLESD" at stelladot.com/brookeallen

You know, most wives would probably be offended if their husband told them their outfit resembled lawn furniture, HA, not this girl. That comment was a sure fire sign that I had a blog-worthy outfit. As a fashion blogger I feel it is my job, neigh, my duty to push my own fashion boundaries so that it in turn pushes you, my lovely readers to try things out of your comfort zone.

Print on print...yea boy....throw in another print......add the "willy wonka sunglasses" and some menswear inspired loafers and boom, done.....this is probably my favorite outfit...EVER. Back to the "willy wonka" comment so eloquently mentioned by my mother....I was like "dukes, these are prada baroque sunnies....they are a work of art....and if i have to look like willy wonka while donning them....its just a hazard of the trade!"

Now that my friends... is how you know you have a winner....when your mother AND your husband both have things to say about your outfit :)
