Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! If you’re anything like me right now, you’ll understand that I don’t have much time to do a regular post, so I figured I’d take today as an opportunity to say just how thankful I am for everything in my life.

First of all, I’m thankful for all of my clothes and shoes. I know I’ll never think that I have enough, but people are continually amazed by the fact that I can go months without repeating an outfit. I’m thankful for all of my friends and family who make it worthwhile to wake up each morning, even on days I know will be tough. I’m thankful for the four-legged monsters who greet me when I get home, even though two of them (cats) try to bite me incessantly. I’m thankful for the fact that I can bake or cook whatever I want, whenever I want – it continues to be a shock to me that there really are so many people who don’t have enough to eat (reminding me to give to those who are less fortunate in any way I can). I’m thankful for laptops, iPhones and Google, as well as all other technology. I don’t remember my life without these things and I don’t really care to. And I’m thankful for all of you reading this now and following my blog. I started this over the summer, with no real expectations or a plan of any kind, and here all of you are (even if it’s not as many readers as other blogs may have). I’m so incredibly grateful for your support and kind comments, and I look forward to sharing more stylish tidbits from my life with you.

Have a happy and delicious Thanksgiving!

Inspiration: Minimalist

minimalist

Normally, when I think of fall (November in particular), I think of warm colors and rich textures. This year has been a bit different: thoughts of clean lines and contrasting black and white have been swirling through my head (see this post). Something about the minimalist approach to things (clothes, décor) is clean, calming and refreshing, without sacrificing style – exactly the kind of break I think we all need about this time of year. Here are the simple pieces inspiring me at the moment.

Currently Obsessed With: Peplums

peplums

The peplum seems to have continually generated more popularity since its unofficial debut earlier this year. I’ve noticed dozens of pretty peplums all over the place: long sleeved, short sleeved, tank tops, blouses, jackets, dresses, even pants – the list goes on. I’ve compiled a few of my favorites, all sure to add a dash of flirty femininity to your closet.

Lately, I’ve been opting for simpler outfits in neutral shades of black, white and gray. I wore this a week or so back on an especially busy day when I craved a low-maintenance outfit. I kept it polished by heading in a more minimalist direction, staying with clean lines and varying textures.

Room Update

modern room

Ever since I became obsessed with this chair, I’ve been thinking a lot about interior design. (It’s dawned upon me that I never posted final pictures of my office – the fabric for my other bulletin board was backordered and I haven’t gotten around to finishing it, but I promise pictures will be here within the year.) I’ve always loved the clean, modern design aesthetic, and based on this chair and a few other recent finds, I thought I’d make an inspiration board for a room redo. I don’t see any renovations in the near future for me, but next chance I get, I’ll be doing something along these lines.
