when it’s cold outside

this weather has me longing for a cashmere turtleneck sweater in a bright color that brings a hue to my face. plus they say red cheers you up!

though, i am color blind – i hope this is a reddish/orange, not an orange that could flag down a plane.

i love combining a cozy sweater with the perfect pair of skinny jeans and a great pair of flats – or riding boots. this weekend, i vote for riding boots! it’s a classic look that will never go out of style, which means these are great investment pieces. i always think jeans that fit you perfectly are a great investment, especially when you have a good tailor. but red cashmere, nude flats and a good pair of riding boots? definitely wardrobe staples!

the one thing absolutely everyone needs? the knock on wood wood key chain. stop knocking on your heads and never leave home without a little good luck again!

enter ms. loren waldron – a dear coworker of mine that makes me laugh so hard i may or may not have peed my pants due to her hilarity. loren is the inventor of the brilliant idea, knock on wood wood key chains!

our other coworker, alex of the suaz, just wrote about KOWW here – definitely check it out for the full interview.

loren dreams of someday being on z100 with her brilliance, but today she’ll just have to settle for my little plot of the interwebs and all my beautiful readers. to purchase click here.

brilliant organizational idea

so as i decide to stay at home for another 2 years to save for a house – it’s an attempt, we’ll see how long it lasts – i need to “move back in” to my parents house. i’ve been moving out for the past 5 years, but now with this decision comes a need to get organized. get rid of the old college stuff. make my space work for me like i need it to. i stumbled across this idea for shoe organization on well worn:

this is a super easy, fast, cheap DIY that you could pull together quickly during the weekend – or even on a weeknight!

1. chair rail or moulding measured to the available length in your closet or on a wall

2. spray paint of choice

3. hammer and nails

4. pretty knobs

spray paint the chair rail and let dry thoroughly; attach knobs for flats; hang in your closet or on a wall; put your shoes up; toast a glass of champagne to your handiness.
