Star View Vineyards

After flying my mom out for a visit during this thanksgiving week we checked out a local vineyard. Not exactly what I was expecting but they did have good wine…. and after all thats the most important part! I thought of it more as a bar setting. I was hoping for chic tables and decor, not so much vinyl tableclothes and 80's convention chairs. Overall it was a cute place with lots of character and really fit into the town's vibe. So a chic styling would really be out of place anyways. Its always fun to experience new places and surroundings. 

-- FYI it was so freaking cold out!! 30 and colder with the wind chill --

Simplistic Saturday

I love fashion blogs! I adore the style of the girls but I can not afford most all those super expensive outfits. $400-800 shoes, $2000 bags, $300 on a T-shirt?? Nope not this girl.... or at least not for now. So, I decided to blog about my outfits. Affordable for the regular not rich fashion obsessed ladies. Let me be honest, I do have some expensive items but I planned and saved, saved, saved! 

TOP -- color fleck tee from Madewell

SHORTS -- J. Crew (on sale)

BOOTS -- Steve Madden (last season)

WRISTLET -- Alexander Wang Fumo

SUNNIES -- Tory Burch (similar here)

WATCH -- Nixon (here)

Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for coming by!
