What goes with a Snuggie?

Just stumbled upon this website and I think it's a fun concept - have you ever put together and outfit and been unsure if it worked or not but your bff isn't around to tell you it doesn't work? Then you wear it out of the house and realize something is amiss? Fashionify.com has a "community" of people who will help you style your look - in general it seems like they're all kind, well-intentioned folks, so it could be helpful. Fabulous idea! {found via Lilly'sStyle}

Hey Readers!

How are you all? Sorry I didn't blog for a week. It happens. Anyway, ready for my best/worst dressed pics from the Golden Globes? {here's my last year's pics}

My ultimate favorite dress of the evening, this beautifully detailed blush colored gown worn by Shailene Woodley - picture doesn't do it justice!
Dare I say Tilda looks absolutely FIERCE AS HELL here? Her hair and everything is just rockin' for me right now. Crazy androgynous never worked so well.
Wow. I love Reese here - it's tough to see against the red carpet but she looked like an awesome surfer barbie on stage. Love it when she lets her hair look natural.
Even though this dress is not my personal style, Emma looks rad with the awesome make-up and love the color of this dress.
Laura. Dern. Dripping in emerald head-to-toe. She looks amazeballs.
Bow down to Selma. I'm calling this "disco chic".
Aaaand for my Worst Dressed pics...

Ugh. This dress is fine. This pic is more for the fact that you might as well just call this look "SEVERE". I'm tired of Angelina looking like this. Ugh get rid of the red red lipstick. Also, maybe consider eating a sandwich?
Wow. Missi Pyle in "prom dress puce".
I hate this look. Could she be trying any harder to be a "style icon"? This is gross tin foil ick.

"buahahaha! Look at my ugly dress!" Piper, get it together!
Kindof like the bottom, hate the top. Old lady.
Meh, this doesn't seem fancy enough to me. I think it's the informal pattern + 3/4 sleeves + velvet.

There you have it, friends. What were your best/worst dressed pics of the evening? Oh, or were you watching something more sophisticated? Or watching for the actual awards and not the fashion? Or maybe you were reading a book like a productive person.

My Dream New Years Eve

Let's pretend for a moment that all this could really materialize, and we pulled off the best New Years Eve party that ever happened...this is what it would be for me:

The Perfect Party Dress...
Let's keep pretending that every single one of these dresses is less than $100 and fits and flatters beautifully. *clicks heels*







Oh and obvs there has to be a great coat for watching Space Needle Fireworks...
Aw, what the hell, let's make it a ridiculous fur coat...
Ok, if you insist, it can be pink...

A beautiful tablescape of confections and luscious champagnes will appear as if by magic, sparkling and chilled and presented perfectly...


Got to have a disco ball to go with all the great mix of modern and classic music...

I will find copious amounts of free time to lovingly craft these tinsel wreaths to decorate our house...{via creature of comfort}
And more free time to craft these custom DIY Glitter Champagne Glasses {via Something Turquoise}

And last but not least we'll have the budget to buy a whole case of fancy prosecco or cava for everyone! Ok Universe, I put it out there, I'll see all this on NYE!!!

The best, most comprehensive Scarf Tutorial EVER!

Another Wedding Post

The latest dress inspiration: I still have no idea which silhouettes will flatter best, but I'm loving these "flowy" skirt options - they're a bit Cinderella without being too princess-ey...

I know this is cray-cray, but it's fun...
love these sleeves...
love the bustle...

Uh-oh...

I'm sorry to say, I really need this "Am I Wearing Pants" Flowchart. But - in my defense - I work from home and am a "student"...but that is all probably canceled out by "am 30 years old"...

{via HuffStyle for a larger pic, y'know, if you need to print out and hang by your closet...(guilty)}

*Also I would argue that some men need a "self-check guide" as well, but for other things like "am I wearing socks with sandals?" or "are these dad jeans?"...just saying.

Scarves...why can't I get it right?

It's almost Scarf Time! *uns uns uns* (cue party music). I am never quite sure how to tie a scarf so that it looks effortless. How do y'all do it?! I found a few guides on the trusty internet lately that I thought I'd share:

Now SCARF UP Everybody! Also, who wants to go scarf shopping? Scarves are so WILD!

Crisp Air is Coming!

I am love love loving this time of year! If I can ignore that impending doom feeling at the back of my mind that is dreading the coming of January/February/March aka THE DARK TIME I can really adore September and all this sun we've had recently. I love that the air is just starting to get crispy while the sun is still shining. AND we've had a few foggy mornings! I love fog. It's so dramatic.

A while back Carrie submitted a question for MansionMogul that got me thinking:

"Fall is JUST around the corner, and I am so excited for boots, scarves, & sweaters to come out of the closet. Do you have any favorite fall time traditions or favorite fall things to share?" - Pumpkin pie lover, aka Carrie

Well, yes, there are a great many things I'm looking forward to! Let's start at the top of the list:

LEAVES. They're beautiful, for the 2 weeks we get to enjoy them before a major rain/wind storm takes them out. And when we do get sunny Fall days who doesn't love kicking along a sidewalk full of them?

PUMPKINS & FALL COLORS. A no-brainer. It's almost time to replace my porch flower pots with mums in all kinds of Fall colors, and put out some pumpkins, which means a trip the the pumpkin patch hopefully!

APPLE CIDER. Ok, and just apples in general.
CROCK POT MEALS. Yay! The return of the slow-cooker dinner! I've had a craving to make a roast at least twice this Summer, but that would be crazy! So I can't wait to officially start making stuff in the wonder that is the crock pot again this Fall.

TIGHTS, BOOTS, AND COATS. You know what tights and boots mean? They mean mini-skirts, which are my FAVORITE ever. I love minis, but you really can't rock 'em in the Summer because they can look a little slut-tay. With tights though...you can totally get away with it! And omg you guys I just love a great coat.

Only a super-skinny model could really pull off these red skinny jeans amiright? But I'm loving the slouchy mid-calf boots and the knee socks!

LOVE COLORED TIGHTS

The ultimate: a pink trenchcoat. I'll be on the hunt until I find one!

Oh, and let's not forget: THE PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE. I hate to say it, but when S'bux brings this oldie but goodie back it really signals the start of Fall for me. Come to think of it, when they bring out their "Christmas cups" that's when Christmas starts for me. That's kinda messed up. The 'bux is powerful, I tell ya.

"UGH, AS-IF!"

Nevermind the creepy part about falling in love with your step-brother at the very end, this movie was totally everything about 1995 and I wanted to die and wake up as Cher SO BAD. Ok, still do, but a different Cher.

Every outfit worn by Cher Horowitz in Clueless in less than 60 seconds:

*Something* to Post...at least

I'm at a loss for what to post today, so I thought how about just the last 5 things I pinned on my Pinterest board:

I like how this combines my want for "tea candles" and "mason jars" on a wedding tablescape.

What a joyful photo. Remind me to "pop" my foot up for this perfect picture pose! {by A Bryan Photo}

This is ridiculous. And I'm still loving watermelon right now. Watermelon cake!

Baby barrette necklace. I totally had these! {via Aunt Peaches}

These Brian Atwood heels are ridiculous and I would totally wear them.
