holiday shopping guide. Patty's Closet.

last on the shopping guide this weekend is Patty's Closet.

i'm sure my readers are very familiar with them since i'm usually sporting something from Patty's Closet. how can i not when they have such fun fashions at affordable prices? 

if you're lucky enough to have a location near you, what are you waiting for? with their concept of ordering only six of everything, the good stuff doesn't last long. don't have a store near you? no problem. follow along on instagram or facebook to see all their new arrivals, then message/email/call that particular store to order.

here are some of my Patty's Closet finds:

jaguar blouse, cut-out sweater,

cropped cardigan, camouflage leggings

a few of their new arrivals:

their stores are stocked with great sweaters and dresses

for the holiday season.

christmas shopping guide. PersunMall + GIVEAWAY.

next up on the christmas shopping guide is PersunMall, an online retailer of virtually everything! you will find the latest in fashion from clothing to shoes to jewelry. they even have a huge selection of special occasion prom and wedding dresses. if i'm looking for a particular item that is trending at the moment, i'm certain i can find it at Persun.

here's a few of my PersunMall items:

palace shivering top, d'orsay heels, feather top; blue loafers.

here's a few of my favorites on the site right now:

clockwise from top left: golden flats, open-toe pumps,

western leather boots, leopard wedge sneaker

everyone needs a pair of gold flats. love the woven details of this one. the peeps of red give these basic heels the right amount of oomph. these leather boots are a fall staple that pair nicely with jeans and an oversized sweater. and these wedge sneakers are a must-have for any leopard lover.

clockwise from top left: zip sweater, striped dress,

heart blouse, woolen cardigan

i'm loving anything oxblood, so this sweater was an obvious choice. this wide-striped dress is so chic...even more so with the strip of pink. again, heart blouse in oxblood...perfectly paired here with a similar colored skirt. a neutral cardigan that not only keeps you warm, but is just as stylish over

a dress or shorts.

happy shopping!

christmas shopping guide. JustFab.

our christmas tree usually arrives the first weekend of december; we're picking it up tomorrow. and usually once the tree is up, it starts to feel festive and in no time, christmas is here. i haven't started my shopping yet...haven't even made my list. as i do that this weekend, i'll definitely be turning to some of my trusted friends and blog partners for gifts i know friends and family will love, from places that i trust.

throughout the weekend, i'll be sharing some of my favorite picks from my favorite places in case, like me, you're still in need of gifts.

first up is JustFab. i'm a huge fan of their bags and shoes, but they also have apparel and jewelry. and with most items at $39.95, how can you go wrong? scroll through my blog, and you'll find that i'm sporting at least one Just Fabulous item in every outfit! here's a few you might remember:

clockwise from top left: gallerista + ambrosia, hudson;

pearlescent mint signature denim; valletta

below are a few current faves:

clockwise from top right: gallerista, entice, uptown lace

i am currently carrying around the gallerista in tan. it's the perfect size to carry evvrything! i recently ordered the entice clutch because jeans + tee + heels wouldn't be complete without it, and i think the boxy uptown lace would be such a fun addition to a holiday outfit.

clockwise from top left: lakshmi, zion, bowie, marina

get festive with lakshmi and bowie. even moto boots sparkle with fun embellishments...and how cute are these marina flats? all of these would be perfect with jeans, dresses, or shorts.

clockwise from top left: frost, keenan, palmer

JustFab recently launched their LUXE line described as genuine leather, rich embellishments, and pure luxury. all the same great designs made with supple fabrics and adorned with striking embellishments, these beauties cost only a fraction of the prices you might pay elsewhere.

happy shopping!
