Lunch With Friends

A couple weeks ago (when we still had snow here...) I went to lunch with my good friend Trixi and our friend Derek who was visiting from NYC. We went to this great restaurant called Mazza that is absolutely delicious. It was great catching up with them!

I have this thing that if I don't wear something in my closet I have to get rid of it. (Okay, lets say I'm trying REALLY hard to do this. It's easier said then done!) Hence the faux fur vest I am wearing in todays post. It's not my favorite, yet I never get rid of it when I do closet clean outs.

Faux fur isn't really my thing. I feel weird wearing it, it scares my pets, and I constantly worry people will think its real. That said, I bought this vest a few years back for a Halloween costume where I was a wolf, and every now and then I force myself to wear it in order to get my moneys worth and allow it to keep living in my closet.

Here is what I wore to lunch:

Necklace: J.Crew Factory

Bracelet: Madewell (Available at www.Madwell.com)

Plaid Shirt: J.Crew Factory

Faux Fur Vest: Charlotte Russe

Jeans: Dylan George (Nordstrom Rack)

Boots: Merona (Target)

Christmas Dinner

Christmas is always a time of winter when you get to be fabulous, even if you're overdressed. I attended my family dinner, and tried to keep my outfit comfy and semi dressy. A hi-low sweater and blouse with heel booties were the perfect combination. Here is what I wore:

Fall Fun! -Heidi's 5 Fashion Must Haves For Fall 2013

Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend!

To start the week off Kaya and I each wanted

to do a post that shows our own individual must have

pieces for Fall 2013.I posted mine today,

and be sure to check back for Kaya's post tomorrow.

And make sure to have FUN with fashion this fall!

Top 5 For Fall by heidihanson featuring slip on booties

Old Navy fox sweater / Madewell blouse / Current/Elliott colorful skinny jeans / Slip on booties / Earrings

For my 5 pieces I wanted to show some easy ways to add
some fun pieces to your fall wardrobe. All the things I picked are easy add-ons to any wardrobe.

A statement necklace can dress up anything for a simple t-shirt to a cocktail dress or anything in between.
Check out The J.Crew Factory Store or Etsy for some great affordable options for statement necklaces.

My absolute favorite trend right now is animal motifs. I have way to many sweaters with little critters on them. They are so great to throw on to help cheer you up on those gloomy fall days.

Chambray shirts are so fun and they go with so many things! They have been my favorite to pair with  colored skinny jeans.

Last Spring I searched EVERYWHERE for the perfect pair of gray booties, and now you can buy them at so many places in any price range. They are a fun style to have when you don't want to wear just black or brown boots. The bootie style is great too, because you can wear it with jeans, dresses or skirts.

Printed skinny jeans are a fun update to colored skinny jeans.
Wearing a bold pattern on your legs can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, but their are always more subtle options to choose from. Try something printed in a traditional  denim wash if you feel nervous to give it a try.
 

French Hen

Yikes!

I have a confession.

I think I am OBSESSED

with the J.Crew Factory French Hen!

They had the hen sweater at

the regular J.Crew store last year.

Sadly, it sold out before I could get my hands on it.

I simply can't get over how cute it is.

I mean, its a hen wearing a beret! (Tres chic!)

So now I officially have the cardigan, crew neck sweater, and iPhone case.

The sweaters are still available at:

What animal motifs can you not wait to wear this fall?
