Stranded

December 25th, 2010

sweater: Gap, skirt: Anthropologie, tights: Target, boots: Frye, coat: Urban Outfitters, necklace: christmas present from me momma :)

Worn For: Well, I am writing this post at 11:37 at night from a rest stop somewhere on I-90. Yeah, we got stranded in the big blizzard. Major booooooooooo. Sleeping in the car/rest stop the night after Christmas? Not fun.

Anyway, this is what I wore Christmas day. Christmas day is incredibly hectic, but still a lot of fun obviously. We have 3-4 places to be so there is a lot of running around which can get tiresome. But we saw a lot of people, ate a lot of food, and got some pretty nifty gifts :). It was great to be home. I have some photos that I thought I would share later. Or maybe tonight. We’ll see how bored I get sitting here…..

Have a HOLLY Jolly Christmas

December 23rd, 2010

tee: Gap, cardigan: JCrew, necklace: Marc by Marc Jacobs, skirt: Urban Outfitters, headwrap: Antropologie, tights: Target, boots: ?

Worn For: Not much, really. Just relaxin at home. We had plans to go out, explore and find someplace really cool to take these photos. But it was cold. And we were lazy. So driveway it was. haha :). I won’t be around tomorrow so just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Blending In

December 22nd, 2010

sweater: Express (men’s), scarf: Urban Outfitters, skirt: ?, tights: Target

Worn For: I feel a bit messy in these pics, so please excuse me. This is what I wore for the 8 hour car ride home yesterday. I’ve decided that I will always wear a maxi for that trip. Always. It is like wearing pajamas. Terra at Stylish White Female and her all white ensemble encouraged me to pull this skirt out. Who says you can’t wear white this time of year? It is 2010.  Problem is, waiting to take the photos until we got home meant blending in with the 8 feet of snow we have here. But you still get the gist.

First Snowfall

December 20th, 2010

sweater: Express (men’s), scarf: Target, skirt and headband: Anthropologie, coat, tights, and gloves: Urban Outfitters, boots: Frye

Worn For: I wasn’t going to take photos yesterday, but I took a look out the window and we finally had snow! Not much - just a light dusting, but I was excited. So I ventured as far as our porch steps to take some photos. 

Looking at this, this is  definitely my essential winter outfit. I love everything about it. First off, It is (again) my favorite color combo. Probably because it reminds me of home and our beloved Sabres. But either way, I will never get sick of blue and yellow. On top of that, throw in my new favorite winter wear - a big cozy sweater (again stolen form Boo’s closet), a fuzzy scarf, and leather boots to keep my toesies warm. I live in only boots for about 4 months out of the year. So be prepared. And then, to top it all off, a cute little girly bow in my hair makes it very me. Hi, I’m Holly :)

Can I love in this outfit?

Mustard and Pink

December 19th, 2010

cardigan: Victoria’s Secret, tee: JCrew, skirt: American Apparel, tights, hat and shoes: Urban Outfitters, gloves: Coach

Worn For: Last night we traveled out to see Boo’s college roommate who was having a little family christmas party. We ate some food, saw some old friends, and and had a good time. 

Morgan at Morgan and Lua had been wearing a lot of pink and mustard-y combinations not too long ago, and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind. Thats when I found this tee scrunched up in my drawer, and I thought it would be a good candidate. Overall I think the outfit came out pretty well. Cute but comfy. 

Black and Blue

December 17th, 2010

dress: Ray Cassin via Buffalo Exchange, cardigan and tights: U.O, shoes: Steve Madden

Worn For: I wore this out for mine and Boo’s weekly dinner date. To be honest, I was having a little bit of what Kendi calls a mirror vs. camera complex. I got this dress the other day at Buffalo Exchange. It seemed pretty perfect to me - Big ruffle at the bottom, girly bow up top. Just what I like. But I didn’t try it on. I mean its not fitted so it shouldn’t be a problem. And to be honest, I didn’t feel like shedding my eight layers just to try on one dress. Even as I put it on to wear yesterday, I thought I looked pretty cute. The mirror told me - Hey, this dress is girly and adorable and it looks pretty good on you. 

Then I looked at these pictures. In these photos, I feel like I look a bit disheveled. The dress doesn’t look the same as it did in the mirror, and why, oh why is my slip hanging so far out on one side? My hair? Oh my hair. My bangs have gotten to that awkward length where they are constantly in my eyes and I am too chicken to trim them myself. So I pinned them back at at last minute. Ugh. 

Well, as you can tell I’m not so thrilled with this outfit or these photos. But hey, the food was good, the night was good, and I am going to stop complaining now. 

Got My Mind Set On You

December 15th, 2010

swaeter: Ann Taylor Loft via Buffalo Exchange, tee: gap, scarf: ?, headband: Anthropologie, jeans: BCBGeneration, booties: Keds via Buffalo Exchange 

Worn For: I wore this outfit to finish up my christmas shopping and get some groceries as well. It was one of the coldest days in Boston yet (but still no snow, boo). My philosophy is: if it is going to be this cold anyway, there might as well be snow. If I have to freeze I at least want the pretty white powdery snow at my feet. Just sayin’. Well, I’ll be heading back to Buffalo in a week and I know they have plenty of snow. 

I got this sweater and shoes at Buffalo Exchange the other day. I purposely got the sweater two times too big for me, because thats the way I like my sweaters :) Overall I’d say this outfit is pretty me - girly color, bow in the hair, and super fun shoes!

P.S - I spy my chapstick in my pocket! haha. I spent all day digging through my purse and in the couch cushion for it. And at the end of the day I’m  mediting these photos and hey, whatda know - there it is! Typical.
