My 2013 Game Changers (Clothing & Accessories)

If you will be shopping either online or in store on the day after Christmas, might I suggest a few things to pick up? These eight items have most certainly changed my game and will continue the most often grabbed from my closet.
1. Men's Blazer : The "borrowed from the boys" trend continues and oversized 
overcoats are a must-have to cover up the layers.
2. Coated Jeans : With a sheen that's as much glam as it is casual, these will replace your 
distressed boyfriend jeans when it gets to cold to where anything with holes. 
3. Jean Vest : Much like the chambray of the yesteryear, this is a way to add texture 
without bulk, especially under your winter jackets and blazers.
4. Knuckle Rings : These slim bands are the key to a minimalistic look
5. Chunky Gold Chain Necklace : A fail safe face brightener and "wear with anything" 
length, you probably need a back-up in case of fading from overwear!
6. Metallic Tee : A key layering piece, especially with it's loose fit, is a great way to highlight
your gold accessories and is flattering over tight jeans or tucked into a full skirt.
7. Cropped Tank : In navy, this top fits perfect atop high waisted bottoms and has
become the most versatile piece in my collection for any season.
8. Tulle Skirt : Despite making such a statement, this gem can achieve many different looks,
like edgy with combat boots and a jean jacket or "meet the parents" prim
with a black turtleneck and kitten heels.

What were your game changers?

A Memorable September


I was so excited my bachelorette party weekend, which occurred on September 28. My maid of honor and I went up to Lake Geneva on Friday to have a relaxing dinner that would then be followed by some other fab ladies joining us for a wine tasting and night out on Saturday. However, our date night was rudely interrupted when my platform heel guided me off the sidewalk and I fell. It turned out that I had broken my ankle in two places! After the ambulance ride and a few hours in the ER, I was casted and sent on my way with crutches that I soon traded in for a wheelchair that we borrowed from the hotel. I thought everything was ruined and I had no idea how I was going to socialize or even be vertical, but with kind and encouraging words from my maid of honor and fiancĂ© (who drove up as so on as he heard the news), I realized that I could still have fun and that the pain from sitting around those I love would be no different than if I was pouting at home! So I put on my tutu (took some of the prescribed pain meds) and it turned out to be the most memorable of weekends and I am so thankful for all the love and support and pampering I got from my ladies. 
I have an orthopedic appointment today to determine the prognosis and to hopefully be cast free by our wedding - wish me luck!
