Do you guys ever feel like you are living the same day over and over again? That has been me for the past few weeks. Everything is so boring lately! I definitely have a case of the January blah's and am ready for this month to be over! Thank goodness February is just around the corner.

Sometimes it isn't all about that fantastic statement piece that makes an outfit, but rather the subtle details that pull everything together. This is how I felt about this throw on ensemble that I wore this weekend...it's all in the details. I am obsessed with these jeggings I got for Christmas. Obsessed to the point where my sister got them first and rather than just borrow them from her, I had to have my own pair (sometimes I can be such a copycat, oops!). The print is subtle enough that they can be mixed with just about anything, but is way more fun than a solid color.

This jacket has been my favorite purchase this year, as it is light, but allows me to layer up underneath.  The other day, I had on a tank top, a long sleeve t, a thermal andddd a wool sweater, with a scarf and this coat and I didn't even break a sweat while sitting in Starbucks like I totally would have while rocking my North Face. Thank you, safari cargo jacket, for allowing me to stay cozy and at the perfect temperature!

And can we just talk about these boots!? So happy I snagged them for $37 when I have been lusting after the pricer Steve Madden version. Sometimes being a copycat is a great thing :)

GUYS! Hi. I'm not very good at blogging in the winter...if you haven't figured that out already :[ On top of being busy, the chilly 10 degree weather makes it really hard for me to come out of the cozy indoors to snap some photos. I know a lot of you understand from reading your blogs. The winter time seems extra busy and I'm definitely missing the slower paced, lazy days of summer right about now.

Okay, but enough ranting.

You all should know by now that I've got a serious crush on the hi-lo trend, so when August Wrinkle sent me this top, I was pumped. The majority of my hi-lo items are skirts, so this shirt was a new way to style the trend. What I adore about this top is the color, texture and the unique hi and lo hemline (duh!). Pairing it with a bodycon skirt, tights, and the biggest scarf known to mankind, I definitely felt perfectly layered up for a chilly weekend outing.

 Happy New Year!! I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season and are now enjoying the fresh start that 2013 has delivered. I certainly enjoyed the holidays, and am excited for what 2013 has in store, but am sad to see the Christmastime season over. I'm done with winter and snow and now wish I could hibernate until spring!

I took these pictures almost a month ago now, but lost them in the mess of my very unorganized computer files. When I stumbled across them, I knew I had to share as I am wearing two of my very favorite items. Have you ever purchased something and you swear it is the best purchase you have ever made? This is how I feel towards my Free People 'Voile Trapeze Slip'. We all know that I'm a sucker for versatile clothing, and that word describes this slip to a T. It's my favorite thing to layer up and/or throw on over a swimsuit in the summer. It's gorgeous detailing also allows it to spice up more boring pieces. Yes, I am in love.

Another one of my favorites? My Caring Cowl! I have quite a few of these cowls stashed away, and have been wearing them almost daily. With these frigid temps, they are definitely my number one winter staple!

On a far more exciting note, I am thrilled to announce the Twenties Girl Style Favorite Things Giveaway winner, Kym of Bitty and Bunny!  Congrats Kym!!

Glasses: c/o Firmoo

A little known fact about me? I'm pretty much blind. Well not technically, but I have HORRIBLE eye sight and rely on contacts 24/7. Recently though, my contacts have been bothering me and I was forced to wear my glasses more frequently. Too bad my glasses were ancient and not so cute, making me want to suffer through uncomfortable contact wear rather than be seen in them. That's why when Firmoo offered me a chance to try out a pair of their glasses for free I was on board immediately! What I love about Firmoo is the fact that they offer quality glasses without breaking the bank. I've been in the market for a new pair of glasses for sometime and have been dying to try a bigger frame, but didn't want to spend the big bucks on something I was unsure about. When I received these, I was blown away by the sturdy frame and comfortable fit that was extremely comparable to my older, more spendy glasses. I will definitely be buying more pairs of glasses from Firmoo!

Are you in the market for a new pair of glasses or sunglasses? Firmoo has an awesome program where they offer your first pair of glasses for free...all you pay is shipping! Check it out HERE!

On an outfit note, I discovered this fox sweater at Old Navy last weekend and had to have it! I've really been obsessing over the whole fox trend lately and had to snatch this one up! I paired it with a chartreuse cord skirt, another find from Old Navy (a few years back, snagged it off the clearance rack of $3.99!), patterned tights, and my favorite Steve Madden Boots (birthday gift last year from the boy:) Paired with my awesome firmoo glasses, I was definitely feeling Nerdy Chic!
