Stylish sneakers

Did you see the pretty sneakers featured at the Chanel Spring 2014 Couture show? As a tall girl who also has little stamina when it comes to painful heels, I love the idea of pairing stylish sneakers with an outfit.

Below are some of my favorites, but first, don't forget to enter the Henry and Belle skinny jeans giveaway (here)!

Gifts that give back

With Christmas right around the corner, I have started - and started crossing off - my shopping lists for friends and family.

I really like the idea of buying a gift someone will love and that donates to charitable causes.

Have you started your holiday shopping yet? Have any great gift ideas that give back?

Loving: Black & Gold

Maybe it's the holidays right around the corner, but I am loving black and gold pieces lately! There is something so glamorous and chic about pitch black paired with a shiny gold. Here are a few of the pieces I have my eye one.

Favorite fall boots

As much as I didn't want to let go of summer, I do love fall for the changing leaves, cozy sweaters, and pumpkin-flavorered everything. And with cooler weather, every gal needs a great pair of boots. If you're in the market for a new pair, I highly recommend checking out the selection on Onlineshoes.com!

I first became acquainted with Onlineshoes.com when I participated in a blogger styling contest (here) and thanks to them, I have a gorgeous pair of Clark's boots (here) that have become my go-to fall boots. The site is great because it has a huge inventory of name brand, quality shoes and easy searching and filtering capabilities.

Below are few of my favorite boots for fall. The are all are available on Onlineshoes.com, so check them out (here)!

james and i are off to granite peak for one last ski trip before the weather gets warm. hope you have a great weekend and see you next week!

i want candy!

maybe because it's because i haven't been able to keep my hands off the reese's pieces in our office this week, but i'm feeling seriously inspired by fun candy colors.

shoe envy

i am definitely a member of the shoes appreciation society! ok, so it's not an actual society with members, but i thought this shoe diagram created by fashionising was too cute! it got me thinking about some of my fave shoes for the season, all available at mytheresa. can you tell i have a chloe crush?

1) chloe, 2) chloe, 3) louboutin, 4) chloe, 5) tabitha simmons

lust list: gucci handbags

i admitted my love of handbags earlier this year, so hopefully this post comes as no surprise. have you seen the spring 2011 gucci handbags? beyond gorgeous. i'm loving the textures, the braided detailing, the luxurious leathers and exotic animal skins (sorry peta). i'm also a huge fan of that braided gold cuff!

it's in the bag

i have a weakness for accessories, especially handbags. a great bag can complete an outfit and i don't mind investing in a quality bag every once in a while because they're functional on top of being fabulous! here are my picks for spring:

reed krakoff "boxer 1"

mulberry oversized "alexa"

michael kors "tonne"

miu miu "matelasse"

marc jacobs "small single"

marc by marc jacobs "natasha"

chloe "marcie"

chloe "aurore"

anya hindmarch "rossum"

all bags available at net-a-porter, except michael kors "tonne"

holiday inspiration: jewelry

what holiday outfit is complete without a little sparkle and shine?
