Pattern Pop

I'm always looking for ways to take a basic item and amplify it. Pants are easy; no tights required. As much as I've been doting on pants this season, I was on the lookout for a pant that popped. I fell in love with the black medallion print against regal red. My monogram craze is in full swing and what better way to show off new initials than against cashmere?

Fancy in Fur

I consider fur timeless and elegant. There's something about it that makes you feel fancy. (and warm!) The pullover style of this faux fur piece is casual enough for every day, or upscale for date night. The ponte legging adds edge with zips on the back on the ankle as do the studs on the pointed patent flat.

Wonderful Time of the Year

I hope everyone had a holly jolly Christmas! I certainly feel jolly after a long weekend of home cooked meals! Maybe that's why I'm drawn to this baggy dolman top. This high-low top falls casually, but the gold thread boasts some holiday spirit! The comfort of a legging has me forever faithful, but add zippers and they become swoon-worthy in my book.
