Moody Style: Leather & Lace

You may recall that I bought this BlankNYC Faux Leather Jacket over the summer during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  It’s by far one of my favorite pieces that I picked up.  If you don’t already own a leather jacket, then I would suggest adding this one to your wardrobe.  This jacket is so versatile because it can be worn all year long – in the fall/winter you can wear it with a pair of dark rinsed jeans or a cute fall floral dress and in the spring/summer you can wear it with white jeans or even some pretty pastels.  It also comes in two colors like this camel/brown that I'm wearing and black.  And the $98 price point isn’t bad either considering the faux leather looks like the real thing. As far as the fit is concerned, I think the jacket runs a little small.  I’m wearing a Medium over this lace tunic and I think it would fit fine over a thin sweater too.  Well, what do you think about adding this faux leather jacket to your fall wardrobe? Let me know what other ways you would style it in the comments. Happy Friday Friends!

Moody Picks – Everything to Boot

During the winter months, the cold weather comes and goes here in Florida.  It could be 75 degrees one day and then 45 degrees the next day. We are gearing up for another cold front tonight and I’m really looking forward to pulling out some boots tomorrow.  The forecasters predicted that the temperatures over the next few days will be anywhere from low 50s and low 40s.  I know that it might not sound like a big deal to some of you, but it’s a pretty big deal here in Florida.  Anyways, here is a quick list of some of my favorite boots that I’ve had my eye on over the past few months.  What are some of your favorites this season?

Moody Style: Cold Snap

We are finally getting another cold snap down here in Florida and I’m really looking forward to it.  I’m already planning out my outfits for the rest of the week as I type.  I know for sure that I’ll be pulling out all of my Zara scarves and wearing lots of sweaters.  We're expecting the coldest weather this season where the temperatures are being forecasted to dive into the mid 20s area wide.  This is a big deal for us down here considering today we reached a high of 81 degrees.  It’s crazy how the weather changes so dramatically.

Fresh Picks to Follow – Winter Boots

Hi everyone...Happy Friday.  I’m so happy that it’s the weekend.  I know I only had a four day work week, but it was really hard getting back after a long break.  I really had trouble this week trying to think of today’s topic until I did a little shopping after work.  After a quick visits to Anthropologie, I ended up in the shoe section at the local Dillard’s department store.  I immediately fell in love with a pair of Vince Camuto boots called the Beaus Chocolate.  Love them! These boots are a real beauty and they kind of remind me of a pair I wanted last year (can’t think of the name or the brand right now).  As I checked out several other boots in the store, I realized that I seriously need to update my boot collection. There are so many different styles to choose from this winter and I have been missing out. I had to pull out a couple of my boots this week because the extreme cold weather here in Florida.  A couple of my knee-high boots that I have are pretty old, I mean 5-6 years old.  There in great condition on the outside, but they are not comfortable at all.  In fact I wore a pair today and my feet are still recovering as I write this post.  Anyways, I plan on upgrading real soon, so I’ll let you know all about it when that happens.  Well, here are my top ten favorite boots for the rest of the winter season.  Do you have a pair of winter boots that you can’t live without?  How many pairs of boots do you own? Let me know.
