I am straight up trippin over these kicks!!!

They are on sale at UO right now – so of course I made my outfit around them

These shoes call for effortless yet totally cool urban style – with pa ha lenty of gold going on.

I imagined lots of chain and stacked bracelets and pops of color.

Ciao Ciao and Happy Shopping!

Sorry for the lack of posts… I was in Utah for a week and just got back last night. Aren’t Emily’s “Mom uniform” posts wonderful? Anyways, I just wanted to drop in real quick and tell you that this coat from Forever 21 is super cute. My friend just got it and I was seriously jealous. (I don’t think this photo does it justice.) I’ll be back regularly next week. Have a great weekend!

Hey All!! Sorry I have been MIA lately. I have been super sick and have basically only been able to go to work and then come home and pass out. Luckily Natalie has been giving you some sweet posts!

I am working on emails and reader questions – I will probably be able to get to most of them over Christmas break (next week) and after the New Year, but expect cute stuff in the meantime.

As promised, here are my holiday outfits. I chose one fabulous party outfit and then decided I needed something more comfortable, but still pretty for Christmas Day.

Ciao Ciao and Happy Shopping!

Party Outfit:

ring ring sequin top, sequin shrug

Christmas Day Outfit:

It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year……

HALLOWEEN!! and that means pumpkin spice, spooky decoration, scary movies and trick or treating. Some of my greatest memories are from Halloween (see pics below)

pumpkin sculptures in Tarrytown, upstate New York, circa 2007

And for us SS kinda gals it means another thing to: the hunt for a modest Halloween suit.

Our reader, Becky, said:

I love your blog. I’ve been so frustrated lately trying to find a cute Halloween costume that is modest. Why must all costumes be more appropriate for the bedroom than trick-or-treating with your small children? What are your favorite modest but still cute dress-up options for costume parties?

We might have to ask our readers to help with this one!! What do you all think? I think the best thing to do is find a modest dress or top and bottoms and then go OVER the top with accessories.

I tend to always be men. I have been: Charlie Chaplin, Professor Plum and I am being a certain man this HDay as well. (Will not reveal now…….mwahahaha) {I’ve also been a dead camper and a homeless bum in college. not. cute.}

me as a gypsy, circa 2008

But as women we want to feel pretty at Halloween without feeling uncomfortable and most costumes out there are not. appropriate.

my mother and me next to the Headless Horseman Bridge circa 2007

I think taking a classic costume, like a witch, nerd, period costume, anything (easily made dead with white makeup and red lipstick), diva, hippie, grecian goddess, native american or something, and making it interesting with different accessories and a cute dress would be a good idea. PLAY UP ON THE MAKEUP!

Of course, LEGGINGS and SHRUGS may be required!!

Here are some of my finds. Readers what do you think?

Ciao Ciao and Happy Shopping!

tights, moccasins, blue pumps, wig, cheetah dress, eye lashes

southwest dress, black outfit, glasses, shoes, floral dress (shrug required, obviously)

shirt dress, mustache kit, hand bling, feathered mask, sequin dress

witch hat, skeleton necklace, plus size dark dress, love top, heart sunnies, seashell hair wear

venetian mask, ghost costume, striped dress, fur coat, black bow
