Happy Monday loves! I hope everyone had a great weekend! So happy December is here! Love decorating the house for Christmas, and picking up the Christmas tree! AND, our little bundle of joy should be making his/her way into the world any day now! The baby's due date is December 6th (this Thursday!), but I wouldn't mind if he/she wanted to make an early appearance! ;)

Wore this colorful southwest poncho over the weekend to finish up some Christmas shopping (one more gift and we're done! Yay!), and grab some lunch with the hubby. Love an open cardi sweater -- so easy -- and the bright colors and tribal print are right up my alley (I'm such a desert/southwest fanatic). So sad that FL is still in the high 70's -- really craving some cooler temps. If you're experiencing cooler weather I envy you. ;) I've got tons of sweaters and boots that are patiently waiting in my closet to be worn!

>----------> Let's Go Seminoles!!! <----------<

Hey loves! It's the final round of Seminole Nation: Blogger Style and let me just say I've had a blast styling game day outfits on the blog to share with all of ya'll! I hope my outfits (and the outfits of my fellow Nole gals) has inspired you to dress up and represent your Alma Mater with pride on game day! :D

For this round I wanted a look that would be perfect for the cooler fall temps, but still represent FSU's garnet and gold like a champ! This duster cardigan by Lucky Brand had me at hello! The gold color with the intertwined different color threads was not only on trend for fall but was so reminiscent of a great vintage sweater (and if you know me, you know how much I adore vintage). This garnet floppy hat with feathers was another instant fave for me! Since our mascot is the seminole indian, anything adorned with feathers is appropriate for an FSU game. Plus the floppy shape of the hat paired well with the bohemian look I was going for. Add a great pair of jeans (comfy too), with some chic ankle boots, a fun bag & jewelry -- and I'm set!

Want to check out the other game day looks? You can peep them here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4! AND, don't forget to check out this round's looks styled by bloggers: Lacey of A Lacey Perspective, Kristin of Living In Color Print, and Cathy of Poor Little It Girl! xo!

The weather was gorgeous over the weekend -- low 70's and a beautiful crisp breeze! Finally started to feel like real fall weather! The hubby and I had lunch at one of our fave places, hit up some antique shops, and then strolled through the park! Cannot wait to head back to that same park, but with our new baby. :)

Couldn't wait to break out this gorgeous python fedora by Lucky Brand. Love the burgundy hue! It's one of two burgundy hats I recently picked up from Lucky Brand and I try to find any excuse to wear them! Another color that I'm always obsessed with, but especially obsessed with this time of year? Emerald or hunter green! Would love to find a wool hat in this color as well!

BdC + BB Dakota - Pt. 1

{top: BB Dakota c/o; jacket: BB Dakota c/o; jeans: Paige c/o (get them HERE); heels: Zara (old); sunnies: vintage Christian Dior; bag: vintage YSL; bubble necklace: Cheerfully Charmed c/o; monogram necklace: Max&Chloe; bracelets: David Yurman, Oia Jules c/o, & DERNG c/o; watch: BCBGMAXAZRIA c/o}

Hey loves! I've been eager to share with you all this fun project I was lucky to be a part of with BB Dakota and two other bloggers (Bonnie of Flashes of Style & Nicole of Frankie Hearts Fashion). BB Dakota sent each of us some fab pieces to style from their fall collection, and we each were asked to style our pieces for an upcoming trip. Although the hubby and I didn't actually take a road trip or fly to an exotic location, we did make the most of our beautiful city of Clearwater! I mean, the ccean breeze, emerald waters, white sand, yummy food and drink, PLUS some amazing clothes? What's not to love, right?

Since I'm a Floridian, I know that fall happens to be a season that we crave but do not always get. Luckily I don't let the humidity or high temps get in my way. I wanted to style my fall pieces in a way that would not only reflect my bright fun style, but also transition from hot summer months into the milder temps of fall. Each piece I received can be worn end of summer, into fall, and even into the winter months.

This look I styled is comfortable, but a lot of fun! The bright colors in this Pedro top really prove that fall pieces do not have to be dull or boring. And how cool is the back of this top? It gives the top that extra something. This Alec jacket is the perfect addition because not only does it match the top perfectly, but it can be worn open or zipped up for an edgier vibe. It's light-weight so it works for summer nights, but will still keep you warm into the fall months. Plus I am just loving it's moto-vibe.

Now let me get to the best part of this collaboration -- the contest! Each blogger has a BB Dakota Pinterest board where we've uploaded the photos of our trips and the outfits we styled for fall! Here's where each of you come into the mix -- repin the photos on the board that you like the most and you could win a $500 gift card to purchase some fall pieces of your own from BB Dakota! Pretty sweet, huh? Contest ends September 30th, so don't miss out! :)

These shots were last minute and the sun was almost down!

Went for a stroll through the park late afternoon on Saturday. The weather was highly enjoyable over the weekend. In the 70's with a nice cool breeze. I can't get enough of these verdugo skinny jeans in "Tumble" from Paige USA. The print is fantastic! I'm really obsessing over prints of all kinds lately. I've always honed in on prints and bright colors when thrifting, it's just my thing.... but now that everyone is on board and it's a trend -- my radar is on high alert! I've picked up some amazing printed beauties in the last few weeks. I promise to do a "thrift finds" post soon (something I've been meaning to do from the moment I've started my blog, but haven't done it as much as I've wanted). All this print madness has my mind racing with new outfit ideas for mixing prints. I find it challenging but so much fun. After all, fashion should be about experimenting and not taking yourself so seriously, right!?
