Black and Denim

Michael Kors Jet Set ToteH&M Black Trench (similar) and Turtleneck (similar), Old Navy Denim Jacket, Frye Boots, Michael Kors Tote

well, it’s back to reality for us. i threw this on to go out with a friend last night and i was still cold all night. 🙂 i think i should have worn a heavier coat. but i just hate the heavy layers! do you wear a huge coat, or just decide to freeze?

and yes, this outfit is entirely based on this pin. except i wore boots instead of strappy heels. a light jacket is one thing, exposed toes is entirely another.

My 5 Blogging Tips

Last Day At The Beach

Hey y’all! I’m back safe and sound in cold and miserable St. Louis! Woohoo! And I’m already thinking I need to go back to Florida, STAT! Yesterday I was knocked down ALL DAY with the stupidest of stupid migraines, so I didn’t get to do the only thing I really wanted to do which is to send you over to Good Life to check out my 5 blogging tips I’d give you if we were BFF’s hanging out at Starbucks chatting. Promise I’ll have more for you later.

And now, off to the gym to see how out of shape I got in the last month. Say a little prayer for me. 😉
