Lookbook: skinny jeans

My go-to outfit when I just don't feel like putting together something fabulous. You have already seen the blazer as I mentioned it as one of my favorites.

What I'm Wearing:
Blazer: Rag & Bone
Sweater: BCBG
Jeans: Levi's
Shoes: Christian Louboutin

About a month ago, J and I were shopping and walked by the Levi's store where he spotted a coat in the window and told me I'd be cute in it. The Levi's store has been in downtown for a long time but I've never been in it so I was intrigued by the cute coat and went in. Who knew that I would come away with some of the best skinny jeans that I have owned? The style is the Ultra Low Skinny 521. The "utlra low" part kind of scared me off because I have many pairs of low rise jeans , some that I have to admit are too low, but these ones are the perfect rise. They really aren't that low if you are used to low rise jeans. Levi's also has their jeans in length sizes which is not a huge advantage for me since I like to get things altered anyway, but I tried out all the lengths to see what I would like best. The "short" length hits my ankles which is fine when I'm wearing flats and some heels but I like it when my jeans cover my shoes. I decided to go with the "medium" length which was definitely too long but then cuffed them for a perfect length. I like the cuff too much to alter them so I'm leaving these as is. The best part? The price: $69.50. It's been awhile since I paid less than $100 for jeans so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I love them.

While I was there, I also bought a pair of black skinny jeans from their Eco line which is made of organic cotton and they are super soft.

I find that a lot of people get caught up in the brand name jeans thing, and I admit to taking part in that in the past. To the extreme, I even had a friend who wouldn't date men unless they wore designer jeans. But with clothes and especially jeans, buy what fits. Because if it fits right, nobody will even bother looking at what your back tag says, they will be too busy admiring how awesome you look.

Waiting...

::sigh::

waiting for our wedding pictures from our photographer is really hard. Every conversation I've had with family and friends since we got home starts with "did you get your pictures yet?" and the answer is still no. I do appreciate that Punam put together such an amazing blog post so soon after the wedding and I understand that post processing the millions of images that she took is going to take awhile, but I am dying to see ALL the pictures. She sent over the first draft of the album design last night and it is so beautiful that I cried. I can not wait to have the finished album and the DVD of images in my little hands.

Luckily, I have a picture happy family that took plenty of pictures to help keep me occupied. I adore this beautiful picture of our table setting taken by my brother

Once I get my professional pictures back, I'll share all the details that went into it, including why the candle centerpieces are missing candle holders (definitely not done on purpose).

Happy Shopping!

If you didn't get enough shopping in this weekend, there's still Cyber Monday!

My email was flooded with sales so I thought I'd share some of the great deals at my favorite stores.

I'm in the market for a new leather jacket.
This one from Madison Marcus is gorgeous!

I've been wanting a CC Skye bracelet forever but didn't want to pay that much for it so I think with this discount it is the perfect time to snag one.

Happy Turkey Day!

Our first married Thanksgiving! We have always gone to my parents house for Thanksgiving so this wasn't something new, but I did actually make something which was a first! Big news for me since I'm not much of a cook.

The turkey... J loves dark meat so this turkey leg was all his.

My mom pulled out her china including these coffee cups which we all thought were amusing because nobody was planning on having coffee.


Oh look! it's me and my very first attempt at making stuffing! It was a hit!
Direct quote from little brother "the stuffing was bomb"


Me pleased with my contribution


My dad doing his job of cutting the turkey


Macho and Savvy looked on while the turkey got cut.


They were sad that mom and dad said no to their begging eyes.


J before the feast.


No pictures during the meal. Who likes eating pictures anyway?

And for dessert? Pies! Yummy!



ugh. I think I'm full just looking at these pictures.

Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving and got to spend time with your loved ones!
(and if you don't live in the US or don't celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a really great Thursday! =) )
