As the new year approaches I think to myself.....you know what....2013 is going to be my year. I'm sure you guys have noticed that I'm no wallflower and that I don't fade away into the background so I've decided I'm going to allow myself to get even crazier (style-wise that is....I'm already crazy enough) during the next year. So stay tuned skrillas.....its about to get real.......PS I'm even more fired up now to get my crazy on since a commentor this week told me that I could have "toned things down"......bahahah obviously they don't know me!

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!)

Well its Christmas Eve day.....this is honestly the first year that I haven't been excited about presents....my presents that is.......I'm super freaking excited about doodle's presents. My trip to ifbcon in New York was my Christmas gift (which is where I got this sweet t-shirt from!) so all I asked for was Starbucks gift cards in my stocking. I can't wait to see doodle covered in wrapping paper with boxes all around him, it really is a surreal experience this year as far as my mentality towards certain things that used to bring me joy. All I want for Christmas is to be with family and see doodle's eyes light up in front of the tree.......although some Starbucks gift cards would help me stay awake to see that, that last shot will be my face if I don't get any.......Merry Christmas Skrillas :)

PS I'm linking up with Molly again so be sure to check that out!

I am soo excited to show you today's Copycat Lookbook ensemble......silky wide leg pants, a tailored blazer, bright pumps and ladylike handbag from an outfit I've been OBSESSING over in Lucky Magazine. I was like holy moses I have all of those items, I can totally rock that....and here it is.

Molly and I had a lot of fun with this outfit because of the print and movement of the pants......if this wasn't a Copycat Lookbook post then I would have named it "Mentally Disabled Flamingo" because that's what I looked like during the first couple of jumping shots.....but that last one was the money shot, I felt like I could hear Tyra telling me she was proud of my smize.

And a little weekly recap in case you missed an outfit :)

Copycat Lookbook- Lam in Louboutins

tee: the limited (old, similar here)// skirt: banana republic (old, similar here )// vest: stylemint //  trench: from boutique in Soho (similar here )// booties: shoemint // tights: the limited // sunnies: prada (available here )// bag & jewels: stella & dot

Yay its time for another Copycat Lookbook (if you aren't familiar its where I take looks inspired by other bloggers and celebs I love and recreate them with items I already have in my closet) and this time the outfit is inspired by Stephanie from Lam in Louboutins. Such a simple combination: a striped tee, fur vest, lace skirt and booties....kinda jealous that I didn't think of it, but that's what this feature is for right! 

Its been rather chilly here so I had to add some tights and a trench (on loan from mamma dukes) and I don't usually wear heels unless I'm going to an event but I thought what the hey....I can take them off when I need to run around with my little doodle bug.
