night in shimmering armor

Top - ASOS (love!), Jeggings - BR, Nude pumps - Steve Madden, Necklace - J. Crew, Ring - YSL, Nails - Essie Limited Addiction, Lips - Revlon Fuschia

This is completely random, but have you seen What's Eating Gilbert Grape? I feel like it's a cult classic. A younger Johnny Depp and a much much younger Leonardo Dicaprio in their first leading roles. It always brings me to tears. Remember that scene with Gilbert and his mother towards the end of the film? "Your my knight in shimmering armor Gilbert." Gilbert corrects her and says, "It's knight in shining armor momma." She replies, "No, it's knight in shimmering armor. You shimmer and you glow."

I hope we all have a knight in shimmering armor in our lives. I know I certainly do :)

Random. I know!

So, this has nothing to do with my outfit. Except my top is super shimmery, and it almost glows in soft lighting. *Smiles and scrunches nose*

Oh, Pretty Things...

An obligatory shopping post. It doesn't get much deeper than that! I placed an order on ASOS a couple of weeks back, went to H&M over the weekend, and used an old (I mean years old) gift card at TJ-Maxx. How I managed to save it for as long as I did, I have no idea. Luckily, everything in this post is under $60 dollars.

From ASOS:

My first time ordering, and I am super impressed!

Gorgeous natural suede envelope clutch in a cranberry maroon color. Since Lodis let me down, this was a perfect alternative. The brand is Pieces.

A shimmery pale gold dolman top. I love metallics for Winter.

The brand?

The great thing about ASOS is that they constantly update you about your package, so you're not left wondering where in the heck your order is. I will definitely order from the site again in the future.

H&M:

I saw this dress on Chloe Here, and have been looking for it ever since. Well, I finally found one! {Cue angels singing}

I've never been much of a snake print girl, you know I go more for the leopard. But the way this dress is cut? Great on petites! I just find it very flattering and bold.

TJ Maxx:

This is what happens during a work break.

Pretty Chanel inspired flats at a wonderful non-Chanel price (they were 24 dollars!)

The cap toe is like a patent leather, the cream part is suede. Love at first sight. They are also supremely comfortable.

The sparkly beaded bracelet was also super affordable, and I have been wanting one like it to wear out at night.

Will you be seeing all of these pretty things in outfits of the day? Oh yes you will ;)

Happy shopping,

Tis the season...

Black lace top and glitter clutch - Express, Cardigan - LOFT, Skirt - Banana Republic, Patent pumps - Nine West, Necklace and Earrings - F21, Nails - OPI Royal Rajah Ruby

...To wear lots of sparkle and glitter, paint your lips and nails ruby red, play with textures, and tie a pretty bow on everything - including yourself.

This is what I wore Saturday night to take Christmas pictures with my fiance's family, followed by a raucous time at his work's holiday party.

Let's just say I needed my migraine meds this morning ;)
