Cozy Holiday Neutrals

Posted on November 28, 2017November 28, 2017 by KSSBelle

As you already know, there’s nothing I love more than an excuse to get dressed up, especially around the holidays. However, I’m not a big fan of being cold, which is why this sweater is a fantastic mix of classic & cozy. It’s quite perfect in the fact that you can wear it with your favorite jeans (like these, these & these), or you can dress it up, add your go-to pair of heels & voila, you’re party ready, cozy & warm!

Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree

Posted on November 20, 2017November 20, 2017 by KSSBelle

I wanted this cape dress to be the official start of the holidays for Fancy Says Have A Ball. When I saw this on J.Crew, a few months ago, I knew I had to buy it, especially since it was on sale at the time. This is a dress that will take you from one Christmas party to the next. It’s great because you don’t have to wear a coat (or in most cases, keep up with one) to a party. It’s a classic sheath dress topped off with a cape & a bow. What could be better you say? I can’t think of anything more chic to take you into the holiday season.
I am a firm believer in giving each holiday “it’s own time;” however, this Town & Country article pretty much validated that it’s never too early to get into the Christmas spirit. Do you agree? Either way, I can’t wait to unbox all of our decorations, start our Christmas shopping & spread holiday cheer & happiness wherever I go. Thank you, Mom & Dad for a wonderful childhood of memories of Christmas (& Thanksgiving).

Happy Monday & Early Thanksgiving, Everyone!

Holiday Party Attire

Posted on November 16, 2017November 16, 2017 by KSSBelle

I still can’t believe that it will be Thanksgiving one week from today. Can you? This year has just flown by, and before you know it all of the holiday parties will be coming up quickly on our calendars. So, today I’ve rounded up some dresses, shoes & accessories to get your closet holiday-party ready!

Happy Shopping!

J.Crew Velvet Tie A-Line Dress

This dress is a classic. It would look pretty with dressy black pumps or even a dressy pair of boots!

Classic Winter White

Posted on November 14, 2017November 14, 2017 by KSSBelle

There’s nothing I love more than wearing “winter white.” It’s so unexpected & “new” feeling on a cold, winters day. I bought this ruffle coat when my husband and I got engaged (circa 2009), and I literally wear it year after year. I have learned everything I know about style & how to shop from my Mom. She and I both invest in the more “classic” pieces so that you can wear them with almost anything in your closet. The best part about shopping for us, is the hunt to find those pieces, at great prices. Well, she’s right, again. Now, I’m just wishing I had bought this coat in the black & grey, too. I love to dress this coat up like this look I’m wearing, but I also love wearing it with my favorite jeans, a great pair of pumps & a cozy sweater, too.

Happy Tuesday!

Friday Favorites

Posted on November 10, 2017November 10, 2017 by KSSBelle

Happy Friday, Friends! We’re finally feeling the crisp, cooler temperatures here, and we’re loving every minute of it. I was so excited about it, that last Sunday, I made a huge pot of homemade chili. Thank you Mom for the best recipe! I’ll post the recipe soon on the blog.

Here’s another edition of “Friday Favorites” for you!

ONE
Velvet Bow Ponytail Holder

If you have long hair, and are short on time, just dress up your ponytail with a bow this holiday season. It’s the perfect finishing touch, and oh so chic!

TWO
Accent Decor Boxwood Wreath

I love decorating with preserved boxwood. I have a little bit all over our house with wreaths & topiaries. You can top this gorgeous wreath off with a bow that matches your Christmas decor, then just hang it on a large mirror or on the back of your front door! I would recommend hanging it inside, since it will not hold up against the outside elements. You can change the bow out from season to season, too.

THREE
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact

I’m a big fan of this highlighter. I use it year round for the prettiest glow.

FOUR
J.Crew Lace Pants

These lace pants are great for the holiday parties/dinners on your calendar. The best part? They have an elastic waist (shhhh…I won’t tell, if you don’t tell!) I’m pretty sure I haven’t had a pair of pants with an elastic waistband since the 5th grade, except for leggings. Thank you J.Crew for combining style & comfort this holiday season! Ha!

Ruffles + A Bow

Posted on November 7, 2017November 7, 2017 by KSSBelle

Dressing lately has been a little bit tricky since we’ve had a “warm front” during the day time these past few weeks. I’m so ready for boots, cozy sweaters & chic coats, but if you look on the bright side, I will say, it’s a great excuse to wear my Summer tops a little longer. However, I was pretty happy that the temperatures cooled down at night, so I could wear this cute, little bow front coat for our evening out with friends. All in all, it was a perfect outfit for the best double date uptown.

Have a great day!

Chic Classics

Posted on October 30, 2017October 30, 2017 by KSSBelle

It’s finally “sweater weather” here, and I couldn’t be happier about it! Does it get any more chic than a classic dress, coat & pumps? I don’t think so.
I tend to invest in the “classics” that I’ll wear season after season, and this entire look represents what is old, is new again in my book!

Have a happy Monday!

Date Night – Navy Ruffles

Posted on October 25, 2017October 25, 2017 by KSSBelle

There’s nothing I love more than getting “all dressed up” for a date night out! The best part about wearing a monochromatic look like this one, is that I get to add fun accessories. You know, all of the ones in my closet & jewelry box that aren’t so practical while toting two little ones around. My everyday jewelry consists of pearl studs, my gold watch & my favorite bracelet. There are so many great statement earrings right now, and gorgeous clutches to finish any date night look.
This J.Crew ruffle top is on sale right now, and it also comes in a pretty, pretty pink color as well. Don’t forget, lots of holiday parties are right around the corner. It’s the perfect holiday top for any upcoming events on your calendar!

The only nail polish you’ll need, year round! Love this color, “Espadrilles!”

Kate Spade New York Small Satchel

The perfect “date night” bag. Less is more.

Posted on October 9, 2017October 9, 2017 by KSSBelle

Happy Monday, Friends! I hope y’all had a fantastic weekend! We had such a nice, low key weekend around the house, we didn’t want it to end!

While we aren’t seeing “sweater weather” temperatures here just yet, it’s pretty much all I can think about right now. So today, I’ve rounded up a few sweaters that I’m loving lately for you!

J.Crew Ruffle Sleeve Sweater

How pretty is this sweater? It would be perfect with denim, dress pants & skirts!
