Vintage Inspired

I love vintage-inspired clothes, especially for winter when it's so easy to wear something warm and comfortable instead of polished and chic.  Below are some of the perfect vintage-inspired clothes and accessories that I would totally wear all winter long:

Steals + Deals

Happy Monday! I found a few pieces this month that are on sale and I would LOVE to snag!  The Tory Burch dress is just gorgeous, and would be so perfect for a special occasion, and I love how the Stella & Dot bracelet would add the right amount of color to any outfit.  The Tibi blazer is what I really have my eyes on {what a DEAL!}, I could use a colored blazer in my wardrobe; I have recently fallen in love with Freda Salvador shoes, and these would be perfect with a pair of skinnys on the weekend - they are so tempting!

Fashion + Philanthropy Friday

Happy Friday! So, although candles don't really count as a "fashion" item, I do have a slight obsession with them and consider them a luxury item {a luxury I will never give up!}  Candle with a Cause is a Columbus business that takes recycled bottles from local restaurants and makes beautiful candles that each give back to a specific local charity.  Their candles are wonderful, and I've even had personal wine bottles made into candles to give as gifts and they turned out amazing! I cannot think of a better way to support a local business while giving back to so many great causes.

10 Crosby Derek Lam: Spring 2014

I love NYFW and I often look back at looks from previous runway shows for style inspiration.  The Spring 14' show from 10 Crosby Derek Lam was one of my recent favorites, and it makes me very excited for warmer weather.  Maybe it's a little too early to start posting about spring fashion, but hey, a girl can dream.  {All photos via Style.com here}

Tiniest Diamond

On my recent trip to NYC, I stopped in Catbird NYC {a.k.a., mecca} and found the PERFECT little ring with the tiniest white diamond {by Satomi Kawakita - buy here}.  I had been on the hunt for a new gold ring, and I knew I would be able to find one {or multiple!} at Catbird.  I probably mentally spent about $1 million in that store; they seriously have the best jewelry and home gifts {including candles!}, and I would HIGHLY recommend going to Catbird if you are ever in New York.  Also, at the Brooklyn Flea, I found the cutest little round dish by SKT Ceramics {here} to keep my new ring in.  All in all, I'd say it was a successful trip to Brooklyn :) 

Of A Kind

Have you heard of Of A Kind?  Well, if so then you know how amazing it is, and if not, then be prepared for a new obsession!  Of A Kind is an awesome online shopping site that offers limited edition and limited quantity pieces by up-and-coming designers.  Some of the Of A Kind alum include Catbird NYC, Lauren Wolf, Lena Wald, Kain Label, Hortense, Bing Bang, and Kelly Wearstler to name a few.  I get excited each time Of A Kind announces a new collaboration because they are all such beautiful pieces made with the finest quality materials.  Below are a few items I LOVE and are still available on Of A Kind {like them on Facebook here}:

Mani Monday

Happy Monday!  I've mentioned before that during these cold, dreary months I try to wear happy bright colors to help me forget about the weather outside, and that includes nail polish.  Below are two of my favorite Essie pinks {"Better Together" and "Muchi Muchi"}, one of which I am wearing right now, and makes me eager for spring! What are your favorite shades of pink?
