Moody Picks - Buffalo Chic

I have fallen in love with everything buffalo check this season and my favorite color combo is red and black.  What about you guys? How much buffalo check is in your closet? Luckily for us this print is everywhere lately, so there are lots of designs and styles to choose from.  Just walk into any clothing store and I’m pretty sure you can find some variation of buffalo check patterns in either red and black, white and navy, green and black or even cobalt blue and black.  And if you're afraid of looking like a lumberjack, then stay away from the coats and flannels shirts and start out with a small accessory like this infinity scarf or a cute clutch. Do you plan to add some buffalo check to your wardrobe this weekend?  What is your favorite color combination?

For a limited time, Anthropologie is giving you 25% off all dresses and jewelry in stores and online.  The prices are as marked and they are also including all of the sale items too.  Are you guys going to get anything this time around?   While I was in the store, I checked out some of their new items and naturally I had to try them on.  Here are my top 3 favorites for this month from Anthropologie.

Moody Mondays – Tick-tock, Stock-up!

Hi ladies - I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend!  I’m not sure about you guys, but I haven't finished shopping for all of my fall/winter essentials yet.  Mostly because I'm always on the look out for a good deal.  So when I got a couple emails regarding some great sales, I thought that I would share them with you too.  That way you too can stock up on any additions to your wardrobe or even start shopping for the holidays. 

Anthropologie has a pretty sweet promotion going on right now. For a limited time, you can enjoy 20% off all sweaters in stores and online.   The prices are as marked and the offer includes all of the sweaters on sale as well.  Awesome right? Just a quick FYI, the sale started last Thursday, November 6th and I’m not sure when it’s going to end.  So if you see something that you like, then act fast before it’s too late. Do you have any favorites?  Check out Anthropologie’s full collection of sweaters here and let me know which one is your favorite!  I’m not sure if I’m gonna buy anything yet, but I have a few things in my shopping bag like: this Moth Jacquard Moto Cardi, Dolan Rosalyn Pullover and this Moth Draped Pointelle Cardigan.

I also got an email earlier today from Piperlime regarding another big sale.  Piperlime is offering 30% off of all sale items as well as 40% off all final sale items now through November 11, 2014, by using the code EXTRAEXTRA at the checkout.  I ended up grabbing a few things like this Pim + Larkin All Over Embellished Shell Top and this Aryn K. Exploded Lace Top.  I also have my eye on a few Kate Spade goodies like: this Kate Spade Bamboo Cuff, Kate Spade Nelle Collared Top, and this Kate Spade Sailors Knot Bangle.  Are you guys going to take advantage of the sale? Let me know if you have your eye on anything.  

Moody Style: Vested

Do you guys ever find yourself searching high and low for a product that you become ridiculously obsessed? Well, I have to say that this scenario happens to me pretty often especially when it’s a hot new “IT” item that everyone’s grabbing.  How many stores do you search before you give up on that perfect piece of clothing?

I finally found this awesome utility vest at Old Navy a couple of months ago after walking out of several stores empty handed.  And just when I was about to give up, I found the last one in the area on a clearance rack.  I always feel so lucky when that happens.  Anyways, this vest is fantastic because the olive color is so neutral that it complients just about everything.  It is the perfect weight for the warm southern fall and it’s ideal for layering.  I decided to pair it with polka dots and stripes and I threw on some leopard heels for an extra pattern mix. Do any of you have this vest? What are some ways that you are styling it?

Moody Style: Shake It Off

I have to admit I’m a big fan of Taylor Swift’s new song "Shake It Off" and I’m a little tempted to purchase her new album, "1989." Did any of you buy it?  What do you guys think? I wouldn’t say that I’m a Swiftie by any means or that I’ve been a huge Taylor Swift fan in the past, but I jumped on the Taylor Swift bandwagon during the 2014 VMA’s.  I have to admit that I was pretty impressed with her performance and that point during her performance right before pretending to jump off the "1989" sign, when she stated, "I don't care if it's VMAs, I'm not jumping off." It’s great to see a performer stay true to herself and not succumb to a variety of antics to sell music.  I think that’s one of the reasons she’s been considered to be a role model for young girls.  Taylor continues to respects herself and her fans and as a result her huge following of Swifties continues to grow.  Love her or hate her, Taylor is a keeps her public image clean and classy, which is a nice change from the many overproduced sexualized pop stars.  What do you guys think about this 24 year old starlet?  Well, I checked out Taylor’s performance earlier to day on Good Morning America and really enjoyed it.  Here is the clip from the performance on GMA, so you too can "Shake It Off."
