Uncooperative Weather & A FRAAS Review
A few weeks ago, the lovely people at FRAAS sent me one of these fabulous scarves:
It's the Fair Isle infinity scarf and it comes in four color combinations: navy/turquoise, camel/ivory, rose/petal and black/grey. I received the black/grey scarf and it is the softest, coziest, warmest scarf. I am a big fan of infinity scarves; they're just so easy. And this one really is lovely. It's long enough and soft enough so that when it's doubled it doesn't look like an Elizabethan neck ruffle. I love that the Fair Isle pattern is subtle enough that I can pair it with other patterned pieces with no problem. All this and it retails for only around $40.00.
When I received this scarf, I couldn't wait to wear it. Unfortunately, the weather has been uncooperative and way, way to too warm for a wool-blend scarf. But, I can tell you that when the weather finally cooperates, I plan on wearing it with oxblood, cream, mustard, red, black and grey pieces all fall and winter long.
Happy Wednesday, Everyone!

Inspired By: Half-Naked Models and Hobbits
The majority of my outfit is inspired by this Guess ad:

And here is my version:
 |
| Luxury Rebel "Yuma" - Image via 6pm.com |
As you can see, my brooding, half-naked male model failed to show and I went ahead and buttoned my shirt, but otherwise I think we can agree that I pretty much nailed this recreation.
For my version of the look, I paired a sheer, pleated skirt (Pleione via Nordstrom Rack) with a silk houndstooth blouse (Jones New York, thrifted). I added my replacement black booties (Luxury Rebel “Yuma” via Piperlime), a vintage Monet bracelet (via Red Fox Vintage) and what I refer to as my “Eye of Sauron” belt (vintage, thrifted).
The name for the belt is inspired by this image from Lord of the Rings:

And yes, it does make my pelvis all-seeing; thank you for asking.
Happy Tuesday, Everyone!

Do you remember when my girls and i prepared a baby shower party last September? Well, on Saturday we were invited to celebrate baby`s first b-day, and for that occasion i dressed like this! :) All the items from my wardrobe are already familiar to you, easy and comfy but with the heels on. Marina and I were laughing so much, and these photos are the result of our joking! Big girls can have fun too! ;)
Enjoy in this sunny October!

Why Not Try: Oxblood?
This fall, why not try oxblood? Sure, it’s the most unappealing sounding trend since underwear as outerwear, but it’s actually quite nice. So, what is oxblood? Oxblood is a deep, reddish brown hue similar to burgundy:

And it is a huge color trend for fall. Personally, I love oxblood for fall because unlike some trends (again, underwear as outerwear comes to mind), I think this one is extremely wearable. It’s also versatile, easy to find, and easy to thrift.
Take, for example, these oxblood (yes, I’ve referred to them in the past as burgundy, but I guess this year we’re calling them oxblood; just go with it) “nun shoes” (Naya “Jada” via Nordstrom):

I bought them last fall and I wear them all the time. I wear them most often with gray and black because they add just the right bit of color. But, you don’t have to go dark; oxblood also looks fabulous with blush, cream and teal. Most recently, I paired it with bright yellow and navy blue:
In addition to being versatile, oxblood really is easy to find, both in retail stores and thrift stores. Aside from my Naya shoes, all of the rest of the oxblood in my closet has been thrifted. But, if thrifting isn’t your thing, here are some pieces that I like for fall.

I think this is a great dress and if you want to see just how great it is on a real person, my girl, Sal, rocks it here.

I have these in mustard and they fit wonderfully; so much so that I just ordered them in the burgundy oxblood. (Also, you can get 30% off today and tomorrow with the code, THANKYOU).

Unfortunately this tank is only available up to size 12 and runs a full size small, but it’s an otherwise great way to combine two trends in one.

I think I may be sort of obsessed with this dress. I want very badly to wear it layered over a turtleneck with tights and boots.

Yep, they’re still available and they’re still awesome.

Yes, it is crazy expensive, but it’s also too pretty not to be included.
Still not loving oxblood? Try calling it burgundy or Bordeaux (ooh, fancy) and see if that doesn’t change your mind.
And have a Happy Monday!
