Sidewalk Strut: January 2010

Mini Shopping Spree

A mini mid-week shopping spree pick-me-up on Thursday.

So I'm one of those girls who when I don't go digging through the clothing racks for a while I start going through withdrawals and spend hours sneaking some online "window shopping." Thankfully I got to take a detour on my home this week and hit the mall for a quickie to get me through the week. Even though I only got 5 things I am quite proud of my steals.

At Anthropologie I've grown to be best friends with their amazing sale room and got my hands on 2 sweaters and a special little lightweight wrap all for under $100...Mostly because the bolero was defected and I got it for $9.96 but nothing a little fabric glue won't fix right?

What else? Oh yes jeggings! I was a bit spectacle at first but I love them and they go perfectly with my new boots. These guys may not last for a lifetime but for only $125 I consider it a decent deal.

Contrast. Contrast. Contrast.

Lace & Leather.

When your tea-parties and formals need a little edge, mix in some leather with your soft feminine lace to create a contrast that will surely turn some heads. Be careful not to over-due one or the other to ensure a successful & potent mix that'll let you play into the rocker chick in all of us while keeping a soft femininity in your look.

My Lucky Friend

Marc Jacobs creates my favorite bags. One of which my friend just got.

The Lil Riz Hobo comes in a number in patterns and colors. It can be worn cross-body (my favorite) or regular. Unique yet practical...I'd say perfect. When my friend announce she was choosing leopard I wasn't to keen on the idea, but after seeing the bag in its entirety I fell in love! What do you think?

Bundle Up

Don't leave your fashion sense out in the cold this winter.

I don't know about you all but down here in the lone star state temperatures are dropping, and I like to think that if all the way down south we're icing over it must be worse everywhere else.
