Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving! I’ll be spending it with family, old and new. I am thankful for many things – Family, Health, Happiness, Employment, an Amazing teenaged son, a Fantastic Husband, my Pets, my Home, and so much more. But I am also Thankful that you all allow me a little part of your day when I post to my blog. I appreciate each and everyone of my readers, followers and commenters.
Have a Wonderful Day!

Thursday night my friend Catalina and I were lucky enough to attend Molly’s Holiday Style Party at Anthropologie. We had so much fun. There was a dressing room waiting for each of us with outfits ready to try on. We walked around the store drinking Champagne and eating Artisan Popcorn while looking for more goodies to try on. Molly was an amazing hostess and big KUDOS also go to Michelle, Anthropologie Personal Shopper, and all the ladies at Anthro that night helping us.

Personalized dressing rooms for me and Catalina
Snacks!

Lovely accessories to pair with the outfits Molly planned. I am excited as my Anthro has started to carry more shoes. Love those black bow heels (you’ll see later).

Catalina loves the Climbing Primrose Teapot.

Our greeter!

Michelle introducing Molly…How gorgeous is Michelle in the Horkelia Shift Dress? And I love Molly’s styling of the Impressionist Dress.

A little gift from Molly, a glass jar full of Fashion Inspiration. The tights had a little note on it just in case someone tried to use our dressing room. And they matched perfectly with a dress I tried on later.

All my outfits…About to get started!

Sweetheart Peplum Top, Small – The small was a good fit. I love that this is slightly Peplum but not overly done so that once the trend has passed it can still be worn.
Ombre Flora Crops, Size 8 – AMAZINGLY LOVE THESE PANTS! They are not cropped on me but I don’t mind. I purchased these. This size was the best fit as the 6 would have been way too snug.

Pailette Silk Tank, Sz 6 – The lining does not go all the way to the hem so I would size to an 8 as to not reveal any tummy and to have a little better fit in the chest.

The Gilt Floribunda Cardi by Tabitha is currently on sale and is gorgeous. I love that it is lined in the back so you don’t necessarily have to wear anything underneath it. Ole’…The Lace-Trimmed Tuxedo Trousers area size 6 and fit well. I just kept thinking, like some of you, Matador. I think I would rather see these with sequins or gold lace on the sides. They are cute non-the-less and I’m thinking them over.

The denim are Pilcro though I don’t know the style. Molly said she saw me in the Spotted Peasant Blouse and new she wanted me in Turquoise pants with it. She added a Chartreuse Lemon tank underneath. I can’t seem to find the necklace online right now.

The image online does NOT do this dress justice. (And apparently neither does my picture with the flash on…whoops!) I saw the Adelita Brocade Mini Dress in my room and new I would love it, without trying it on. It is a beautiful brocade with green, orange, gold and grey mixed throughout. This is a size 6 which fit fine but I would prefer the size 8. I did order this dress from the store last night, with the 25%. I can’t wait until it gets here. The belt is the Foiled Equestrian Belt. I passed on the belt and purchased the Bowline Belt that I liked more.

It was a tough decision to make between the Adelita dress and this next dress, the Sapphire Lace Dress, size 8. This was a good fit but it is offered in Petites as well which might be a better fit. I love the Bowline Belt in Dark Grey with it. The Opalescent Garland Necklace is a cute sparkly necklace that will jazz up any outfit, especially with the cute bees on it.

Converged Bow Peep-Toe Heels, Sz 7 – These are so adorable, and I just found out, from looking online, that they also come in Mint. Both colors would go well with the Adelita dress. 

And how gorgeous does Cata look in the Ombre Flora Crops and the Peter-Pan Paillettes Sweater? At one point, both Cata and I came out in the exact same outfit (Ombre Flora Capris and the Pailette Silk Tank).
And, my outfit for the evening, not quite “50 Shades of Grey” but I’ll take it. I’ve had this dress for a year and a half and never wore it. It’s been sitting in my closet, new-with-tags. I really wanted to wear my Gathering Breeze dress but I think I will have to give that up as it just doesn’t fit right any longer and I’m not sure it can be tailored well. I paired it with a Jackie Cardi, the Coddington suede heels and my Tiffany Bean necklace.
Cata and I had so much fun! It was perfect timing to have an event like this, right before the holidays. You were able to pick out something for yourself so that you could then focus on everyone else’s gifts.
I can’t wait to see Molly’s post on this event and the rest of the pictures that were taken. There were some very lovely ladies there who looked amazing in some of their outfits!
Have a Great Day!
 

Maybe some of you already know about C. Wonder but I found it through another site when I clicked through to look at a cute sweater. Unfortunately the sweater was already sold out but I found lots of other goodies to perk up my disappointment. C. Wonder has a mix of clothing, shoes, accessories, home and decor items.

I signed up for emails and received a free shipping offer. About two weeks later I was notified of a 25% off the entire site. I already had items in my Wishlist so I jumped at the chance to try a new brand.

Calf Hair Signature Printed Penny Loafer – I was able to get these adorable leopard loafers on sale. I love that they are patent with just a pop of leopard.

C. Wonder’s own signature shiny “C” coin

I also purchased the Mini Blackwatch Wool Easy Tote. Sadly it’s no longer available in the Mini or Regular size. This is a gorgeous tote and is just the right size for me. The Blackwatch will be great for the rest of the year.

 

A few of my other picks are below.

They are currently having a promo of an extra 30% off Sale items and Free shipping over $50. Love that low minimum for free shipping!

Have you checked out C. Wonder?

A few outfits from my recent office visits. The first outfit is one I copied exactly and originally planned to wear earlier this year but due to the cold weather changed out the bottoms that are in the second pic below. I love the color combo and the heels are one of my favorite pairs.

Sweater: Ann Taylor Extrafine Merino Wool 3/4 Sleeve Sweater, Cameo Pink
Skirt: J Crew Factory Double-Serge Cotton Pencil Skirt, Byzantine Blue

Next up are the most comfortable dress pants…EVER! I found these Cashmere pants on ebay last year and love them. They are not lined but I’m ok with that. I stayed in the Cashmere family with a Cashmere Tee. I was cozy all day in my fabulous pants.

Sweater: J Crew Cashmere Tee, Green (old)
Pants: JC Cashmere Plaid Pants (Sample, ebay)
I’m so excited for this evening as Molly from Anthromollogies is having a Holiday Event at my local Anthropologie. It’s taking all my energy to stayed focused on work and not run to my closet to figure out what I’m going to wear. I hope to Tweet some, if my phone cooperates.
Have a Great Day!

I received my Factory items over the weekend and overall am pretty pleased with the order.

It looks like both the Puffin and Scottie Dog Intarsia Charley sweaters
are pretty popular as they have both sold out online. I think the Puffin
looks good with the Blythe in Polka Dot. I took a Medium in both. They
are both so cozy and comfortable. If I had to choose between the two I
like the Puffin the best. As you can see, Gus is questioning the Scottie Dog choice.

Factory Draped Sequin Tee in Navy – This is a Medium and fits slightly big. I’ll stay with the Medium as it felt loose through the arms for me. I love the Dark Navy color and you cannot feel the stitching on the inside against bare skin.

Stripe Silk Popover Blouse in Green Navy – I went with a Small in this and it’s pretty long in the arms. You can see the extra fabric bunching between my elbow and wrist. I’m not sure if this one is a keeper or not but I did use an extra 30% off the sale price so I’ll take that into account. I do like the navy/green stripe as well and looks good with the bottom half of my outfit from Saturday.

The HAULPASS 20% off discount is good through Tuesday for Factory orders over $100.

Have a Great Day!
