Angels & Cocoa

Lately it has been pretty chilly in our Nashville nook, and I have had no desire to be dressed up in anything other than my cozy (polar bear like) pajama pants.  Plus, the V.S. Fashion Show was on last night- with my fave Angel, Lily Aldridge.  (Her persona on the show was exactly how she is in real life- read about our encounter here.)  What was your favorite costume?  Mine probably had to be one of the ship wrecked theme ones, beautiful!

And we got some new winter/ holiday pillows!

Best way to watch the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show- with hot chocolate & cookies.

Especially after a cold day!

CHEERS!

Model Inspiration

Two weeks ago when I met V.S. Super Model Lily Aldridge here, one thing that resonated with me, besides her super sweet personality, was her completely laid back style.  Her simple, no frills, sorta rocker outfit inspired this look.  I kept it uncomplicated with no jewelry, and even wore black skinnies (in the summertime!- what!?! #SweatyBetty).  Both sweaters we wore were in the olive green family and with a loose knit so very breathable.  Lily wore a plain black tank under hers, I didn't have one so I just used this printed cut off tank instead.  Lastly, I wore some mini charcoal grey cowboy boots, but tucked the tops into the pants to make them look more like low slung booties.  Cheers to some model inspiration!

Boots: Charlotte Russe (similar)

It was fun to try out someone else's style for an afternoon!  How about you, any looks that you've tried out lately, that weren't exactly your own, but you liked anyway?  Please share!
