eShakti Fall

If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed that I spent part of last night Pinning the heck out of eShakti's new Fall line.  Because it is gorgeous.  Seriously, have you seen it?  I want everything!

But, as I don't have the money for everything, here's a few of my very favorite pieces.

Cowl Neck Sweater

The color of this sweater just slays me.


Gradient Houndstooth

This is dress combines a very cool, very modern gradient houndstooth print with a vintage style dress.  I love that.



Plaid Perfection

I told you I was mad for plaid and this skirt is plaid perfection.


More Houndstooth

Because you can never have enough.


Giraffes

Okay, this one isn't from their Fall line, but I think we can all agree that giraffes are great all year round.

If you're in the mood for some giraffes, or houndstooth, or plaid, head on over to eShakti.  This weekend you can get free shipping.  And, if you're a new customer, you can get a $30 new customer gift coupon by using the code GRACEY53PH.  That code is valid through November 30th.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!

Boots and Belts, Stripes and Giraffes

I like this sleeveless wool dress, but I never wear it because I�m not exactly sure how to.  Luckily for me, Lindsey over at Thrift and Shout did an entire post on how to wear sleeveless items like this dress.  That post helped inspire this outfit:

In addition to the sleeveless dress, this outfit contains quite a few of my favorite things; such as boots and belts, stripes and giraffes.  I layered the dress (vintage, thrifted) over a striped, long-sleeve tee (Gap) and leggings (Ross).  I added a studded belt (Michael Michael Kors via Nordstrom), riding boots (Born Crown �Sosie� via Nordstrom) and a hot pink giraffe scarf (Target).

And I do like this outfit.  I think I generally tend towards more classic pieces because they are easier to style than pieces like this.  I am, however, drawn to pieces like this, and animal print booties and fur vests, I just need to get more comfortable in styling them.

How about you, Dear Reader Friends?  Do you venture outside of your comfort zone when buying items, or do you stick with what you know you can style comfortably?

Happy Tuesday, All!

Save the Giraffes

I�m wearing my giraffe scarf again today, but sans the lion earrings.  Because, thanks to Lone Star Casie, I found out that lions do, in fact, eat giraffes.  The good news is that we�re still the top of the food chain.  The bad news is that lions are sort of mean.  Really, lions?  Giraffes?  So mean.  But, I�m doing my part to save the giraffes by keeping my giraffes and lions on separate sides of the Serengeti (the Serengeti is what I call my accessories closet).

And now to the clothes:

Today I paired my giraffe scarf (Target) with a black sweater dress (Macy�s), black snakings (Target snake leggings), black knee-highs (Nordstrom) and black riding boots (Vince Camuto �Fantastic� via Nordstrom).  I don�t often wear monochromatic outfits (What�s that?  You noticed?), but I like the mix of textures between the dress, the leggings and the boots here.  And, of course, I like the pop of pink.

Happy Tuesday!  Save the giraffes!

Giraffe-a-Dots

I�m afraid today�s post is going to be another rambling one, much like last Friday�s.  I�m not saying rambling is my Friday thing, but it does look like we�re heading in that direction.  So, yeah, that�s something.

Let�s start with the clothes.  Today I�m wearing giraffes and dots:

I love navy and hot pink together and figured why not giraffes and dots; hence, giraffe-a-dots.  I paired a navy and white polka dot sweater (Old Navy) with a hot pink giraffe print scarf (Target), cuffed jeans (Gap Real Straight jeans), the lion earrings from yesterday (vintage) and black mini-wedges (Jessica Simpson via Nordstrom).

And now for the rambling�

The lion earrings and giraffe scarf got me to thinking.  Do lions eat giraffes?  Does anything eat giraffes?  Are we really at the top of the food chain?  Or is it giraffes?  

And yes to every one who pointed out that I think and laugh about hard core/parkour because of Schmidt.  Schmidt cracks me up.

This album cover also cracks me up:

It�s The Knack and it looks like the two on the left didn�t tell the two on the right that My Sharona is a huge hit and it�s okay to smile.  Or the two on the right didn�t tell the two on the left that they were supposed to be a sexy band, damnit.

Finally, I�m going to a Mad Men-themed benefit dinner and auction this weekend with my girl, Alex, and I am crazy super excited.  I love my dress, hope I can figure out a hairstyle, am wearing lots of rhinestones and promise to take lots and lots of photos to share.

Oops.  One more thing; Happy Friday, Everyone!!!
