A Winter Necessity

A great friend of mine (Hi Nicole!) was recently convinced by yours truly to buy a pair of LL Bean's bean boots!  They are perfect for fighting through the winter weather.  Bean boots are great in snow and rain and keep your feet warm and dry.  However when you first get a pair it may be difficult to figure out what to wear with them.  I have posted an outfit before of the first time I wore my boots and an outfit of the day post that featured them.  I also put together a few outfits to help my lovely friend out!

Pairing the boots with cute high socks always looks fantastic whether you are wearing jeans or leggings! Give it a try!

Princess Celebration

Today I am TWENTY-ONE. Yes! Finally! I am legal and ready for fun! I have been wearing my tiara that my aunt bought me when we were in England since yesterday and I do not plan on taking it off anytime soon! 

I was looking through Kate Spade's website the other day and came across a fabulous hat that screams my name.  It seems to be a perfect fit for me! 

Well I am off to celebrate!!!! 

What do you all think of this adorable hat?! 

Stay Sunny !

Glitzy in Gold

As I had previously stated yesterday, my birthday is TOMORROW! Wow!! My family is taking me out in Philadelphia for a birthday dinner!  However, Thursday is when the real celebration starts in Atlantic City!  Once again I was drawn to the black and gold color scheme for an outfit.  I ended up putting together a different outfit of my own but if any of my friends need suggestions of what to wear... here is a suggestion!

Make it a Double

I turn 21 in just one day! Yes! One day.  I cannot believe how fast time has gone by and that I am now about to be completely legal.  I can actually go out with my friends and not have to be the designated driver.  Looks like we will have to start pulling straws each time we go out! Ha ha! Anyways, I felt that this sweater is very appropriate for the occasion! It is currently one of my favorites too! 

Lilly Pulitzer knows the truth! Make it a double!

Such a true statement!

Wild Thang

If you all remember, I previously posted about my thoughts on animal prints and how I feel about wearing them.  I have recently come a little more out of my shell and decided to start wearing the amazing fur cheetah jacket that my aunt got my from Lucky Brand for my 17th birthday.  It is beautiful and I have actually become obsessed with it.

Unfortunately, my mom warned me of the risks of taking it back to school. With all of the rain and snow we get in Prov., it is not worth the risk of ruining such a beautiful jacket.  My mom's solution was to let me wear her just as incredible jacket from the same aunt.  It is waterproof and warm enough to wear on the chilliest of days!  I get the best of both worlds now with my new Michael Kors jacket from my mom!

Do any of you wear cheetah print jackets?

Stay Sunny !

Critters

This winter, critter sweaters are absolutely a must have!  Many people would consider them an ugly sweater from their grandma however I wouldn't give those to Goodwill so soon.  Sweaters are comfortable, warm and in-style.  Buy a nice and chunky sweater and you will look incredible!

You could pair any of these sweaters with jeans or leggings and a pair of riding boots! I hope that you all try this look out!

Color of the Month

In my opinion, December is the best month.  If there was warmer weather I would be the happiest girl in the world however having my birthday and Christmas all in one month is amazing.  I am obsessed with the holidays, new years, Christmas and my birthday!

December's birthstone is the Blue Topaz which is why I chose that to be the color of the month.  Blue Topaz also screams "ice queen" at me for some reason.  The color is perfect for the month of December and I hope to see you all wearing it!

A Great Gift

With the holidays coming up and my birthday nearing, gifts have been thought about quite a bit. My mother (who is probably reading this) probably does not want me coming home for break right now because of my spending habits however there is one gift I must share with you all that will certainly not break your bank.

Brittany Fuson has gorgeous prints and an even better planner that will make each and every one of you feel like a diva when you look them. Her prints come in things like notecards, greeting cards, post-its etc.

Here are a few of my favorites. (I would buy them all if I had the money!)

Paris Part 2

Lauren

Cheers

Atlantic

Alexandra

Blair 2

To be honest, the list goes on but I guess those would be my top choices! For some reason they scream NYC, fashion and fabulousity to me! 

What are your thoughts on these prints?

Stay Sunny !

Shop 'til you Drop!

J.Crew Factory is participating in cyber monday and boy are their deals good!  Go check it all out before it's too late! 

I am dying for this black jacket!

Sequin tops are always a must!

I have these pants in red and now I decided blue is a must as well!

Any other great cyber monday deals?

Sister Sister

Walking through J.Crew yesterday was the hardest thing to do with all of the sales and zero money.  However, my sister, cousin and I had fun looking through clothes and wishing we could buy them.  My sister and I both fell in love with similar yet somewhat opposite shirts.  I still think it would be the funniest thing if we both bought them and wore them on Christmas together and/or our birthday dinners just because they are so alike yet so different... just like my sister and I.

This one would most definitely be mine. It screams Caitlin!!

This one would be for my sister! I know she would look amazing in it!

Now we just have to buy some scratch off tickets to get money!

Stay Sunny !

I'm Thankful for Clothes

I am beyond thankful for dozens of things in my life and as silly as it sounds, clothing is one thing I am thankful for.  I am able to express my feelings and personality through what I am wearing and I love that.  I don't have restrictions on what I wear and my clothing isn't like my mouth, which I have to filter.  

I also want to work in the fashion industry one day... most likely doing public relations for a fashion house or magazine so clothes are important to me and my future.

This is the outfit I wore on Thanksgiving and I am pretty sure it shows how I was feeling that day... confident, fun, loud and completely 100% me.

Pants: Necessary Clothing ; Shirt: an actual dress from American Apparel ; Flats: American Eagle (old) ; Bracelets: Alex and Ani

Is anyone else thankful for their clothing?

Thanksgiving Eve

Thanksgiving Eve is one of the biggest party days of the entire year. Why? I have no idea maybe it is the fact that everyone comes home for the first time to see their childhood friends again or maybe everyone is celebrating the things their thankful for. I am not really sure but if you are going to see all those people you either loved, or dreaded, seeing in high school, college, wherever you will be this holiday, you are going to want to look beyond your best!  

Black is always a color that looks great on everyone and if you pair it with gold you will be the hottest one there! I love the layered look this season with fur and sequins and leather so why not put it all together in one outfit?!  My thoughts exactly.

So Good to be Back

It feels great to not only be back on here but be back at home!  I got to visit the little kids I work with in the summer today for their "Thanksgiving Feast."  It was great to see all of their tiny little faces! I decided it was a must to get dressed for the occasion!

Dress: my mothers ; Sweater: once again mom's ; Jean Jacket: American Eagle circa 2007-ish (sister's from high school) ; Belt: Express ; Boots: Macy's (old) ; Watch: Michael Kors ; Bracelets: David Yurman, TopShop ; Earrings: Kate Spade

Stay Sunny ! 

Oh Goodness Gracious

Goodness Gracious are the exact words that come to mind when I look at my blog.  I have been so busy that my baby here, sunnycurls, has been neglected. I cannot even bear to think about it! Fear not though, I am back! I will make it up to you amazing followers though and that is a promise! Starting today I will be back in action! Thank you for sticking around! xxxx

Wild Side

The time has come.  I actually like animal print now. Do not go crazy and get all excited because it is a very limited selection of the ones I like but yes, I enjoy some prints, leathers and materials.  They do not have to be real. Obviously I don't want a poor animal harmed however the look of their skin can be quite fabulous so a mock version is just as nice.

The first prints I am all for is crocodile and alligator.  I have always loved the way it looks especially in handbags.

Next, I have come to love snake skin. I am not sure why but there is something about the look and the texture that draws me to it. I have a tote that I often use for overnight trips in a snakeskin print that I adore.  It matches everything and is still not plain and boring.

Lastly, yes friends, mark your calendars because I am about to say something that will shock you all and you are going to want the documentation.  I like the whole cheetah/leopard print thing. It must be in small doses but yes, it is rubbing off on me.  Belts, scarves, wallets, phone cases, loafers... those all seem great starters to me. Here are a few examples of what I can deal with.. any more and I am still a little uncomfortable ha ha.

Steve Madden Croquetl Suede Loafers

Are there any animal prints that you like to wear?

Color of the Month: Burnt Orange

While parading through NYC last month, the leaves on the trees all started to change colors.  They were a beautiful burnt orange shade.  I could not stop staring at their beauty.  I soon realized I needed to start wearing that color!  It is eye-catching and bold yet neutral enough to wear the piece more than once if you spend money on it.  Buying jewelry or accessories in this color will also be beneficial because it matches so many different colors and still stands out.

These are a Few of my Favorite Things...

While sitting trapped during this hurricane I decided to channel back to my "Sound of Music days."  My sister and I used to watch that movie every time we would spend the night at our grandparents.  During the storm scene they sang about their favorite things to cheer themselves up so what have I done? I came up with a list of my personal favorite things!

1. Black dresses and red lips
2. Buns and baubles
3. Neutrals paired with neons
4. Spikes and sexy dresses

and the list continues...

• Teen Vogue and NYC
• Olivia Palmero and Atlantic-Pacific Blogspot
• Riding boots and skinny jeans
• Chocolate and strawberries

I could keep going but I think for know that list describes my favorite combinations to a tee.

What combinations do you like?

Pump it Up

Pumps are nearly impossible for me to walk in however, when they have a thick heel like this, they are perfect.  I can walk for miles in a thick heel.  They help stabilize my ankles and give my arch enough support.  This pair is absolutely gorgeous... quite pricy but they are to die for.  Definitely on my 'If I win the lottery list'.  They are on sale for $199.00 which could be a plus!

What do you think of these beautiful red pumps from J.Crew?!
