Hey ya'll! Whew what a long long weekend. I'm so tired. Sorry for the pictures with all the clutter. Once I uploaded them I was like, oh wow it's a lot going on in these joints, but please try to focus on lil ole me. : )

Oh and snaps for my Black Friday TV purchase. Believe it or not, I didn't buy any clothes or shoes, the TV was my focus. I've been watching Netflix and other DVD's I own all weekend, it's just a lovely experience now. Ok enough rambling. Back to your regularly scheduled blog post...

Come a little closer so you can see the small floral print of the dress and my favorite leather cuff, okay my only leather cuff. It's that hard and soft mix that's so cool right now that I love.

Here are 10 of my favorite handbags/purses/clutches:

It's A Wrap

I love scarves in various fabrics, textures, and lengths and not just for the practical purpose of being warm. A scarf spices up even the most basic outfit of jeans and a tee. Playing with the way scarves are draped adds even more interest. Here are some inspiration photos as well as how I've rocked some of my own scarves.

Wear it snug and bold

Wrap it once and let it hang

Wear it loose and long

What is your favorite way to wear scarves?

Mixing Prints

Mixing prints has been something that I've wanted to try for a long time, but I don't have a lot of printed bottoms to work with. Previously I wore this skirt with a black top so this time I decided to try it with a blouse in the same colors. I think it works, what do you think?

Vintage Blouse - Vintage store in Toronto

Skirt - Filene's Basement

BCBG Pumps - Filene's Basement

Belt - The Limited

Originally this was a very sheer vintage dress that I decided to have made into a blouse.

Coats & Hats

In Chicago you can easily have 2 or 3 seasons in one week, sometimes in one day, so a diverse outwear collection is a must. Today I thought I'd show you some of my Fall outwear and hats since I take most of my photos indoors.
