Blue Steel

These leggings are so amazing! Seriously, the fabric feels like it woven by elves or something.

La Vie en Rose

My mom bought this blazer for me eons ago and I refused to wear it, because I deemed it "uncool." I unearthed it recently and of course I love it now. Glad I didn't trash it!

Texarkana

I've been having so much fun playing around with all my old American Indian jewelry lately. The bolo tie is actually my husband's, but I think it makes for a fabulous necklace. I've been pretty obsessed with the spring Givenchy western tuxedo style looks and this was one of my ways of interpreting those.

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed...

So I'll get to the point: the boots and leggings are old, the boot bling is from a neato western store B and I stopped at last weekend, and the top is from the Weardrobe Closet. It's a great opportunity to "try it before you buy it" and I think I might be needing one of these tops in gray...

I don't mind your ritzing me drinking your lunch out of a bottle

This is my rainy day, lounging outfit. I'm in love with this incredible sweater/robe hybrid thing. Kind of feel like it needs to be accessorized with a dry martini and a cigarette holder. www.districtofchic.com

crazy cat lady robe

I have a confession to make: I'm not usually a huge fan of leopard print. I do enjoy touches of it, but I haven't been able to bring myself to actually purchase a piece for my own. This all changed the day I saw this incredible robe thing in a vintage shop in New Orleans. I feel like the particularly tacky rendition of the leopard print, combined with the red leaf design that could easily be mistaken for flames, not to mention 100% nylon composition make this a piece I can wear again and again. I also suspect I will serve me well when I'm a crazy old lady living with my many many cats. www.districtofchic.com

and wouldn't old Santa be in trouble if there ain't no chimney in the house

This is the time of year when I almost get in car accidents, rubbernecking to look Christmas lights and peep in people's windows to see their holiday decorations. Maybe a little creepy, but I think it's just an extension of my adoration for all things bright and shiny. B and I had an action-packed weekend of holiday parties and gatherings with friends and this coming week is going to be a marathon of much of the same. I'm kind of exhausted already, but in a good way. www.districtofchic.com
