Good Morning readers, have you ever thought about adding a pop of color to your outfit with a pair of sunglasses? I bet you haven’t! I hadn’t thought of it either until the idea hit me in the middle of a photo shoot while I was trying to figure out how to liven up this black and white outfit. I had just scooped up these awesome new shades with a Christmas gift card and I thought why the heck not! Just as I had suspected, the sunglasses worked like a charm! These Rayban flash lens sunglasses not only add a hint of color to the outfit, but they also give the look that “cool” factor.

P.S. Make sure to catch me on FOX 8 News today at 12:45 PM. I’m styling outfits from Candy Apple Boutique with A Pinch of Lovely & The Elizabeth Chronicles.

Good Morning readers, so I’ve sort of turned into one of those crazy hat ladies! I just can’t get enough of them! I feel like they ad so much character to your outfit. I used to think that I couldn’t pull off at hat because my head was too small or my hair was too long or because I live in Louisiana and there isn’t really a need for winter hats, but one day I found a hat that I loved so much I decided to throw all of my excuses out the window! And I realized that was all that needed to be done in the first place. If you love something, wear it and wear it with confidence.  Just find something you absolutely love and make it work!

Good Morning readers and MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I hope you all have a wonderful day spending time with your family and friends!

About the boots with the fur: Nine West kindly sent me pair of these super comfy winter boots to style on Haute Off The Rack. The Gayne Lace Up Boots have a toasty warm sheering lining and a built in wedge for some added height. We didn’t have any snow here in Lousiana for me to play in with my new winter boots so I just looked for the prettiest pile of leaves that I could find! Hope you enjoy!
