Happy Thanksgiving :Jumpsuit

Let me start by wishing everyone a delightful Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone can think of at least one reason to be thankful today!

Today I am channeling a cool sophisticated vibe. Wearing a beautiful black jumpsuit with lacy details and a plunging "V" back for a hint of sexiness.  A compact metallic clutch for a little sparkle and a blazer gracefully draped around my shoulders sums up the chic look. Sound right?

 In reality this is probably something you would catch me in after one of my "I don't have a thing to wear" or "I didn't plan ahead" moments . After rummaging through what my sister calls a "hoarder's closet" for endless possibilities for the perfect outfit; trying the fourth outfit and incessantly checking the time because I have only 30 minutes for hair and make up before I have to get out of the door (you working ladies can relate). I usually end up with one of my go-to outfits that never disappoint- Jumpsuits.

 I have been on the jumpsuit bandwagon since...well, forever. And the love story still continues. I own a lot of jumpsuits- structured, strapless, sequined (wearing here) and they are always work. This holiday season, invest in a sparkly or structured piece that can make you look like a million dollars without trying too hard. Not to mention, fast style for the girl on the go!

Happy Thanksgiving!

ALONG THOSE LINES:: STRIPES, GRIDS AND OTKs

Hello Loves!

As my obsession with thigh high boots continue, so does my obsession with white and black. I was extremely  delighted when I came across this striped dress from forever 21 and although it had a very sexy plunging neckline (a little risqué for me), I  knew I had to have it. Playing with patterns, I paired the striped dress with a grid patterned jacket which turned out perfectly.  

Try mixing these two patterns for your next styling adventure.  This works well dressed for work, as well as for a more dressy event- as evidenced here. Have fun with it.

The trench

Hello Loves, 

Today's post features some of my Fall favorites. 

-The Suede Over-the-knee (OTK) boots that are certain to get heads turning; my good ole romper that I wear through the four Seasons; and the cool girl trench that I love to wear in the Fall and yes, Spring too. It would be really sad when I have to stow away this Trench as the brutal Chicago cold comes around. Who am I kidding, it's already here and "the air hurts my face".

Speaking of OTKs, some of you gals shy away from wearing them. Why? too bold, too tall, don't know what to wear them with, or are you just scared? 

Don't be. OTK boots are  fun and statement pieces that come in various styles- wedges, flats,and my fave very tall and high heeled. Before you give up on them, try a few out. The trick is finding a height you are comfortable with, as well one that fits your calves/thighs. You don't want to worry about pulling those gorgeous suckers up all the time.

Can't wait to show you more ways to style those OTKs. Stay tuned.

Don't forget to enter the Glossybox  beauty box giveaway on the blog!!

Giveaway: You got Mail!

Hey Guys,  
      Let's admit it, there is usually an excitement that comes with getting a package in the mail. Not the horrid unsolicited junk mail that annoys you but those little indulgences we often allow ourselves.  Ask my neighbors they are probably accustomed to my monthly excited squeal, followed by "My shoes are here" or "I have a package". Sorry neighbors. It is quite comparable to the pleasure I'm positive Meg Ryan felt when she heard "you've got mail" only better.
     This Thanksgiving, in collaboration with Glossybox, we will be giving one lucky reader a chance to squeal with excitement, with a one month free subscription to Glossybox. The box will be filled with five surprise beauty goodies for your indulgence.

 

How to enter...

1. Leave a comment telling me about your monthly indulgences, as well as your email
2. Follow me on Instagram and tag a friend
3. Like Glossy Box on Facebook
    

Winner would be announced on Thanksgiving, November 27th.

Happy Friday!

Love, Jenn.
