Poncho Love

Poncho: Ralph Lauren-sold out (similar, similar) | Jeans: Nordstrom | Boots: Tommy Hilfiger | Bag: Tory Burch

Watch: Michael Kors | Earrings: J.Crew Factory | Bracelet: J.Crew Factory | Mac: Rebel | Essie: Wicked  

I love my new Marsala colored poncho (the 2015 color pick of the year by Pantone) sadly it was sold out online but I have linked two similar looks. This outfit was all about comfy, casual, and cute. I like a poncho like this or an over-sized sweater because you still look cute but are also incredibly comfortable. When choosing a more casual outfit like this one, I suggest adding some fun accessories like the earrings I am wearing.

So back to the Marsala color who is just as excited as I am? It happens to already be one of my favorite colors for fall/winter so I wonder how I will tie it into my spring/summer wardrobe. We have all already become obsessed over our Marsala colored nail polish, I cant wait to see how everyone styles this color in the year to come. Do you have any favorite Marsala colored pieces in your wardrobe?

Layers of Sparkle

Sweater: J.Crew | Button Down: Ralph Lauren | Jean Jacket: Loft (similar) | Skirt: Banana Republic ON SALE

Boots: Tommy Hilfiger | Tights: J.Crew Factory | Bag: Tory Burch | Watch: Fossil | Lip Stick: Mac Ruby Red

I have been waiting so patiently to break out these new sparkle tights I got from J.Crew Factory and I must say I love them as much as I thought I would. A tight like this is perfect for the holidays, and can make any outfit holiday party ready. I am also very pleased to say I have my Tommy Hilfiger boots from Belk back, I had to exchange my original pair (long story) and after much searching they were able to find another pair in my size and send them to me. The boots come in three colors and are also available in wide calf, right now the boots are on sale for 30% off and Belk is having their Friends and Family sale taking an additional 20% off making them only $70! My latest steal was this skirt from Banana Republic off the clearance rack from a nice $20 in store. Have you found any great holiday steals?

Stocking Stuffers

What are you hopping for in your stocking this year? Here are a few of my top picks for what I hope to see in my stocking. I try to always put cute little girly gifts in stockings, and also things that I feel they can use with in the next week to keep the Christmas spirit going. Things like makeup, and other beauty products are always great because it is usually something they wanted but wouldn't normally teat themselves too. Socks, and gloves are also good stocking stuffers because lets face it, it's getting cold out. And one of my favorite, festive pajamas, but sometimes I gift those the night before so they can wear them Christmas morning. What are some of your stocking stuffer ideas or suggestions?

Classy With a Capital BOW

Dress:Banana Republic SALE | Top:H&M| Bag:Dagne Dover (coupon code bellow) | Shoes:Kate Spade (similar, similar) 

Tights: J.Crew Factory | Watch: Kate Spade | Bracelet: J.Crew Factory | Earrings: J.crew Factory

Obsessed would be an understatement with my new Dagne Dover bag. If you are looking for a classic, high quality bag that has a place for anything and everything to help keep you organized, look no further. Dagne Dover sells three different size bags to help keep all of your goodies organized. TheTote, their largest bag has plenty of space for your laptop, tablet, water bottle, pens, and really anything else you could try to fit in there. In my post I am carrying the Mini Tote, which is great to hold your tablet, pens, notes, sunglasses, water bottle, and so much more. I love bringing mine with me to class; it’s much cuter than carrying around a backpack. I also like how the bag comes with a long strap for days when you’re wearing a big coat. One of my favorite features of the bag is the water bottle. It is made of a water-resistant material that protects everything in your bag in case of a spill. It even snaps in so you can detach it if you don't need it or it needs to be cleaned. Dagne Dover’s smallest bag is the Tiny Tote, which is a great small bag for running around town and comes in lots of great colors. Dagne Dover was nicest enough to offer 10% off to my first 20 readers who order a bag with code “StylishSassyClassy” AND they are also donating 10% of your order to a charity of your choice, so you are shopping for a great cause!!

I love a good bow, clearly. I got this dress on clearance at Banana Republic over the weekend and then decided to put one of my older sleeveless bow tops under it. The bow tights and heels are really just the "bow" on top of the outfit, pun intended. What is one of your favorite bow pieces in your wardrobe?
