Pretty in Plaid

Dress - Anthropologie

Top - TJ Maxx

Boots - Steve Madden Intyce in Cognac

Gray Tights - DKNY via Marshall's

Earrings - Anthropologie

I put this dress in my 30 for 30 remix because I wanted to wear it more

and because it's ridiculously comfortable.  And this is its debut!

I love the pattern and fabric - it's like a silky taffeta.  And it has pockets!

I've been on a boot kick this week ever since our weather turned frigid.

Okay, it's really not that cold compared to other places, but when you

go from having 70º F on Thanksgiving to low 30s it's pretty drastic.

And since it was cold out today I got to wear my new coat :)

And it's confirmed - I LOVE IT!!

Is this not the sweetest necklace?  I simply adore all of the items

from Armelle Jewelry.  They are simple and chic and could be worn

with so many things!  This little guy definitely caught my eye since

Christmas is quickly approaching.  Wouldn't it be adorable for a

Christmas party?  I think it would definitely be the life of the party :)

Be sure to check out the Armelle blog, too!

Delicious Dip

Once I discovered this dip I knew I had to share it!

I made a recipe the other day that called for celery and had a bunch of it leftover.

I love celery, but not necessarily by itself and needed a semi-healthy dip.

Enter Marzetti's Otria Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip in Chipotle Cheese.

It is DELICIOUS!  It's creamy and has a great kick from the cayenne in it.

And they have several flavors available.  I can't wait to try out the others!

And what's even better is that it's only 60 calories per serving and it's gluten free.

Oh, and there's a coupon for $1 off :)

I felt so chic in this outfit.  Like I should be whisked off to Paris or something.

Instead, I was whisked off to the grocery store where I didn't feel quite as glamorous

while deciding between mixed greens and baby spinach.  C'est la vie.

We have had a drastic change in temperature here in the past week.

We've gone from mid 60s to low 30s in a matter of days. BUT -

it comes at a great time because I just got this beauty (in black) in the mail :)

I love when Christmas gifts come early - especially when they are desperately needed.

I don't know what it is about these shoes, but I am totally digging them.

I don't know if I would ever be brave enough to wear them or justify

only really being able to pair them with about 3 items I own, but they are cool.

Although, I think I would get more wear out of these pretty babies :)

P.S. - I already sport these just about all summer long.

Product Review: Moxii

I don't think there are words to describe my love for everything Moxii!

Moxii is a fabulous interior decor shop in my home state of Alabama.

When the sweet people at Moxii contacted me to do a product review I was more than excited!

The first product is their beaded garland.  I thought of so many ways it could be used!

I put it around the top of a cake plate with several mercury glass candles surrounding it.

I think it is such a rustic & beautiful way to accessorize, especially during the holidays.

The garland is great quality and I would even venture to say I'll be using it all year long!

I then decided to use the garland on a wreath I purchased that needed a little "oomph".

I paired it with the second item from Moxii, which is a beautiful angel ornament.

I really love this ornament!  I'm all for handmade items and the patina is truly stunning.

I love how the beaded garland seems to be peaking through and catches the light.

And the angel is the perfect touch for my Christmas wreath.  Lovely!

The Moxii products are simply perfect!  They really have a talent for home decor items.

You definitely need to check out their shop online or stop in and say hello if you're in town!

They also have a great blog where they share interior design tips and tricks!

Be sure to tell them that Kelley says hello :)
