A Shopaholic's Wishlist: Shoes & Accessories

The Rainbow Connection [of Outerwear]

Why can't winter be colorful? Lately, a lot of retailers are offering shoppers an array of options when it comes to outerwear, especially when it comes to colors. Almost every color of the rainbow, in many shades and hues, can be found and easily worn. Wearing a bright orange or yellow jacket, for instance, might seem too scary and extreme, but both look great when paired with khaki pants or dark wash skinnies. Purple leather gloves can amp up a dreary cold day look. Scarves in royal blue and hot pink make adorable accessories that go with almost anything.

So this winter, don't let your accessories and outerwear be blah and colorless--stand out in a rainbow of shades!

PIOTD: Sleds & Snow

Happy New Year, everyone! Hope your NYE went well--mine was very fun and eventful until I fell asleep at 2 am (I blame it on being out all afternoon).
Today I got the chance to go sledding after it snowed on Thursday night. It was a great way to spend New Years Day and the cold air and sunshine were quite refreshing. The best part was, I didn't have to drive anywhere to find a decent sledding hill--I have one right in my own backyard! We live on 5 acres of land covered in pine trees, and the back part of our property has some nice hills. The snow wasn't very deep or packed, but it was still fun.

My PIOTD relates to the snow and sledding. I took a picture of my bright orange sled on top of the hill and it inspired me to do a post about brightly-colored outerwear.
