From the Author: M.I.A. & Office Shots

I know...its been almost 3 week since I last posted. A HUGE thank you to all my readers who didn't unfollow, and those who continued commenting on older posts.

Last week I was in Baltimore & DC for work, and turns out I love the East Coast! The style over there is so effortless...everyone seems to have a distinct fashion sense & is totally comfortable in their clothes. I love it. I'm going to try and be more "east coast" from now on...simply chic :)

I have a series of pictures for you below, including some office shots! Let me know what you think about the pictures, and also tell me what sort of posts you want to see this month on the blog in general.

The Details: Lil' Bun, Sparkle, Sequins, Ruffles, Beads & Pins

I have been trying to snap pics of details from my outfits on most days, so here are the photos focusing on the little things: ruffles, sparkles, sequins, ruffles, beads, pins & more! I've also recently been obsessed with wearing my hair in a tiny twisted bun on the top of my head, just sort of carelessly throw up there. I had been seeing it on runways a lot, and the easiness & chic look makes it a fabulous way to do your hair in under 5 minutes!

Trends: Lace

Not sure if you've noticed, but lace is everywhere right about now. Finding a way to wear the right lace top that is chic & flattering can be an issue, especially if you don't want to squeeze into a tiny lace-lined LBD or top. Pair a light colored & flowy lace top with a long cardigan, long leggings & riding boots!

You can also try wearing a more fitted lace top with a boyfriend blazer, skinny jeans & heels. I really love the pale rose colored lace with a black jacket combo.

Treasure Chest: Week of 11/8

1. Go Beyonce for a night with this fab find! (Giant gold chain linked necklace; H&M)
2. This top would look amazing paired with skinnies, or tucked into a high waisted skirt. (Beaded top, Faith21 by Forever21)
3. This scrub will literally make your entire body as smooth as a baby's you-know-what. (Lemon sugar scrub, The Body Shop)
4. These suede booties come in 3 colors and are a staple for this season's wardrobe. (Suede Booties, by Steve Madden at DSW)
5. You know that "I just did something naughty" glow you wish you could always have? Get it. (Liquid blush, Trish McEvoy at Nordstrom)
6. It's Holiday season! That means times for sparkles! (Gold Sparkle Top Coat, Sephora by OPI)

The Details: Sleeve Details

So H&M is one of the stores where sometimes you can find shirts & skirts that fit like a dream, and other times it's like trying to fit a bowling ball into a pinhole (thanks for that metaphor, Snookie). But this shirt, which comes in black & tan, is a dream. Its long (goes to the middle of my thighs, I'm 5'9") and flowy. Pair it with black leggings and chunky colorful heals. Perfection!
