Leggings Love

Big Sis: After recently being inspired by some very cute boot/legging combos, we put together some easy, inexpensive looks featuring dark winter leggings and our favorite pairs of black boots. Here are some of the looks that inspired us.

Clara from "Doctor Who" puts her own kitschy British spin on the boots and leggings look.

We are also loving the long, flowy loose top, paired with black leggings and brown boots. 

We're especially digging this pretty white dress worn with a gray cardigan,coordinating tights, and tall boots.

When I wear leggings, I like to wear a dress over the top (since super-tight, thin fabric is not necessarily flattering on my behind, if you know what I mean.) There are other women that can pull this off, but I admit to not being one of them. I found this mini sweater dress at Ross in my favorite shade of red. I decided to pair it with a chambray top and a lightweight scarf from Target ($7.99). The chunky, black boots are also from Target.

The scarf isn't available from Target anymore, but I found some near matches here. I especially love the powder blue one.

Little Sis: I love detailed knit sweaters, cardigans, and dresses. Well, anything with vintage-looking knits really. I paired this lace-layered dress (from Goodwill) with my favorite cream cardigan (from Aeropostale) for a soft and casual look. I also had to include my LOTR ring necklace to complete the outfit. :)

Icon Inspiration

Little Sis: With the arrival of Thanksgiving, it is finally getting chilly here in Arizona. Even when temperatures drop, we don't often need more than a light sweater or cardigan. My outfit is inspired by one of my favorite singers, Sara Bareilles, who I recently got to see live in concert. It was fun to accessorize with a fedora, which is one of her trademark looks and may just end up being one of mine too.

Winter by the Beach

Here in Arizona (or at least central Arizona) we don't often need heavy jackets, scarves, long sleeves, and boots. Heck, we pretty much wear flip-flops and t-shirts all year long. So, this is what a winter outfit looks like to me; a light top, a cozy sweater, jeans, and flats. I know that in Southern California (one of my favorite places to be) winter weather is fairly mild, so the set colors were inspired by sandy beaches, water, and sky. Wouldn't this be a nice outfit to wear while strolling a boardwalk in December? :)

Coral and Purple

Big Sis: I was inspired to create this purple and coral set after seeing how lovely the combo looks on this pillow. It's not a color pairing that I see very often, but don't the plum and light coral look pretty together?

Gray with Pops of Turquois

I wanted to created a set with casual work attire. This is what I came up with. And gray and turquoise is one of my favorite color combos! It reminds me of a rainy day with occasional blue skies peaking through the clouds.

Dreamy Delia's

Big Sis: I just got the new Delia's fall catalog, and I have to say that it was extremely fun to flip through. I've been browsing Delia's catalogs since way back in my college days, and though some of the styles aren't exactly age appropriate for me nowadays, there's just so much cute stuff to look at! Here are some of my favorite looks from said catalog.

There are so many cute flats here, that it's tough to pick a favorite, but I'm thinking that the sparkly pink flats might be my winner. Which pairs do you love? 

A cozy, fluffy animal-faced sweater over a tank and paired with a soft pleated skirt? Yes please. 

More layering, but this time it's a fun sweat shirt over a lace dress, worn with coordinating flats. 

Delia's always offers a great selection of Converse. I'm digging the orange pair. 

These remind me of boots that my friends and I wore in the 90's. We paired them with baby doll dresses and, well, just about everything else. 

These stitch front sweaters look sooo cozy and perfect for layering. 

Aren't these riding boots swanky? I'm digging the gray suede pair. 

Love this simple, but fun combination of skinny jeans, a white sweater, orange Converse, and cheerful belt and jewelry. 

Fall Anticipation

Big Sis: Okay, so it's still in the high 90's here in Arizona, but that doesn't stop me from dreaming of glorious scarfs, jackets, sweaters, and boots. Here are two fall outfits that I put together to in anticipation of the thermometer dipping below the 70's. Though I can only wear them in my air conditioned home for now, it's fun to dream.

Wide leg jeans, a colorful tee, a coordinating chevron scarf (only $7 at Ross), and flip flops (here in AZ we wear flip flops all year long.) This late summer/ fall fusion is as easy as they come. 

I paired this short ruffled tank dress with leggings and chunky black boots (Target).The aqua tee and necklace adds a much needed pop of color.
What do you look forward to wearing when temperatures dip?

Playful Plum

Big Sis: One of my favorite colors for fall is plum. I've seen some cute sweaters, dresses, and tops featuring this gorgeous deep purple. I created this casual, comfortable plum and gray outfit with a crisp autumn weekend in mind. My favorite part of the outfit? The cozy H & M sweatshirt for only $15!

Think Pink (and Orange)

Big Sis: I've seen a lot of pink and orange together lately, and I love it! One of my favorite shirts in high school (a very long time ago) was a striped pink and orange v-neck, and I'm glad to see the vibrant combination is back in style. I created this outfit with my favorite shades of pink and orange, and included two of my favorite mixed patterns, stripes and floral.

Here are some fun, vibrant pink and orange combos I found while browsing around:

 Heidi Klum rocks a satiny magenta shirt with hot orange pants. 

 I like the second from the left best, but they all have potential. 

Wouldn't this flirty dress look cute with a cropped denim jacket and magenta flats?

 Love these flats. Combine them with jeans and an orange blouse? They're so bright and fun, even a neutral blouse would work. 

The tangerine cardigan looks great over a soft coral button-up. 

Here are Pantone's 2013 fall fashion inspiration colors for more fun color combo ideas. I'm thinking that Koi and Mykonos Blue would look pretty great together too. Which are your favorites? 

Navy and Aqua

Last fall it was all about the contrasting colors, navy and coral, but this season the blue hues, navy and aqua are stealing the scene.

Below are some of my favorite navy and aqua outfits, items, and interior design ideas. 

 Love these navy wed leg jeans and the way that her dark green bag pulls the outfit together. 

 The aqua couch with the navy pillows are fantastic. The room pulls off a both modern and retro look. 

This is maybe the 6th photo of Zooey Deschanel I've posted on my blog. I can't help it. She's got style. 

I love ALL of these pillows and wish that they were sitting on my couch right now. 

 This cute casual bag is just one of the many adorable bags in the Blucalla Etsy shop. 

This understated chevron aqua, navy, and gray phone case would make a great accessory.

Wouldn't this throw pillow from FestiveHomeDecor on Etsy be a pretty addition to the pile of pillows above?
