New at Steve Madden

Shoes, shoes, shoes...that is what is on my mind this first day of 2012, go figure right?! I was going through my emails this morning (Most of which are always from shopping websites...whoops!) and Steve Madden had added some new stock to their website and I fell in love with two pairs and just had to share them with you all.

First up, a GREAT deep cobalt blue colored skinned pump...its high, it has an animal skin effect to it and its colored, what's not to love right? These could go everyday or dressy which I love too.

Siizzle Pump

The other pair is a pair of boots, more than ever before have I become obsessed with boots this season. I feel like I'm trying on pairs constantly and always trying to convince myself that I need yet another pair. They are just so versatile and most of the time they are more comfortable than a pump. The main reason why I love this pair is because of the neutral color that can go with black or brown, the stacked heel and the whole 70s' vibe that is going on.

What do you all think? If you had to pick between these two pairs which would you pick? I would most likely go the boot route!

Onward to 2012!

Can you believe 2011 is already about to end?! Just nuts! I wanted to do a more personal post today with some of my top highlights of 2011, if I had more time today I would add pictures to go with all these tidbits but sadly I'm on a tight schedule. So here we go in no particular order...

 - TCU winning the Rose Bowl
 - My SISTER'S engagement (AHHHHHHHH, still smiling about this!)
 - Celebrating my first wedding anniversary with my best friend
 - Taking part in so many wonderful weddings of lifelong friends and family
 - TWO new amazing sister-in-laws who I adore
 - A spur of the moment vacation to NYC
 - Starting my ClosetChic business and this blog
 - Surprising my parents with a 40th anniversary party
-  Ziplining for the first time
 - Road trip to the World Series


And I course can't leave you all without a little bit of fashion fun...did any of you all have a favorite fashion item you either purchased or received in this year? I would love to hear!!

Mine would definitely be my Givenchy Antigona bag...in love with it...

I hope everyone has a very safe and very Happy New Year!

Because You Can ALWAYS Use Another Pair of Pumps...

Soooo I found these the day before Christmas Eve and just had to have them and have already worn them twice! I LOVE LOVE LOVE  a nude or camel colored shoe, I could go on and on about how they elongate your legs and how they are a must in your wardrobe, a MUST ladies. While I still think a nude patent is your best bet, if you can swing having a few neutral colored pairs of shoes I LOVE this one from Nine West. It's at a great price point and looks great on. I know I'm going to wear these a ton. Swipe them up while you still can friends!

Lilly Loving...

I've always been a huge fan of Lilly Pultizer ever since I was a little girl. I can't wait to dress my little ones in it someday, it's so iconic and classic. Lilly has received a whole slew of new arrivals, so I wanted to showcase my favorite dresses below. I usually visit Naples, FL with my parents every January and try to get a Lilly piece from their great Lilly shop, but sadly this year I won't be there. Here is hoping that Mama is reading this and surprises me! :)

SALES Everywhere!

While I'm sure most of you all are resting and enjoying (or  hopefully!) another day off work, I've been perusing all the after-Christmas sales that are going on left and right. So far the one thing I would love to purchase would be this sweater from Calypso. I've been eying it for awhile and now its on sale, don't you just love when that happens?? I love that it looks so cozy but its still tailored and not just a lounge around piece. I love all the colors but think the grey is my fav. I could see this over dark skinnies tucked into some riding boots, would be perfect. Happy Monday friends!

In Case Santa Didn't Bring You Everything...

Merry Merry everyone!!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas so far, mine has been fantastic! I hope Santa gifted you all with all sorts of fun fashion finds and baubles. In case you didn't get quite everything you wanted here is a ahhhhhmazing scarf that I spotted on ETSY a few days ago. Maybe one of y'all can snag this as a post-Christmas gift.

Enjoy this special day, hug your loved ones a little harder and feel blessed for all this wonderful life gives us!

Chic and VERY Affordable at ON!

O.M.G. have y'all seen this coat from Old Navy?! It's so chic, love the color options and a great price. I hope some of you scoop this up ASAP. I love both colors, but am partial to the Ruby Pink...buy this loves, I don't think you will be disappointed!
