I’ve been really struggling to take blog photos this week. By the time I get myself home, it’s dark. (#bloggerprobs) But the Winter Solstice–the shortest day of the year–is quickly approaching. After December 21st, the days only get longer. So there’s that!
Blazer: J.Crew / Necklace: Fornash (c/o) / Jeans: BlankNYC (Old), similar here / Shoes: Sam Edelman, also available in black and other colors / Bag: Tory Burch / Shirt: Ralph Lauren / Bracelets: C.Wonder (Sold out), similar here; C.Wonder (Sold out), similar here by Michael Kors; and Henri Bendel / Watch: Michael Kors / Earrings: J.Crew, less expensive version here / Sunnies: Kate Spade (Old), find them here / Lipstick: Clinique (In “Pudgy Peony”)
Mitch and I were lucky enough to snap these photos about a week ago just as the sun was setting down in SoHo. We were there to meet up with some of the French Connection team to talk about the giveaway I ran last week in honor of Cyber Monday. (Yep–I totally ask Mitch to go to a lot of fashion events with me. He’s incredibly supportive of the blog, and always offers to accompany me to events and meetings when I don’t feel like going alone. He also runs his own small business, so he provides me with a ton of inspiration! Husband of the year, no? ;))
And, by the way, I’m super excited to announce the winner of the French Connection Giveaway! Shira of A Sequin Love Affair! Considering we’re blogger friends, I feel like I need to offer up the below screenshot as proof. ;) Hehe. It would be an understatement to say I’m pumped to meet up with her for next week’s VIP Shopping Party at French Connection‘s flagship store in New York City! She’s such a sweetheart. Please check out her blog!
Congrats to other recent Kelly in the City giveaway winners, too! (Craft and Candor: Natalie L. and Personalized From Me to You: Sonja J.)
Kelly, your metallic oxfords are EVERYTHING!!!!!! So awesome. They take an outfit to the next level and are such awesome statement makers! :)

Those shoes are amazing! But I’m more obsessed with the blazer. I’ve been ogling it for the longest time, and it’s even harder to restrain from buying it now that it’s on sale. You look great!

Ahh I’ve been trying to find time to find the perfect time to blog as well. It’s so hard – we had a ton of snow in the past few days and I had to opt for a (poorly lighted) indoor photo shoot. :/
You look amazing – the blazer is so cute! Definitely adding it to my holiday wish list :]
That blazer is the perfect color/fit on you – I could see it styled so many different ways! And those shoes are to die for – I’ve been hunting for a pair of metallic oxfords like those. Are they comfy?

Those shoes are incredible! I saw some similar ones in gold recently and I was so tempted… but I guess I will have to settle for being jealous of yours!

lol can NOT believe Shira won!
hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa right?? But there’s PROOF! Don’t worry Rebecca if I end up picking 5 people, it’s not a question, you’ll be on the list:) But I’m still waiting to hear back from Kelly and FCUK!
Woohoo!!!
This outfit is amazing!!! Its preppy and just enough modern. I love your metallic oxfords, I’m so sad I went with a rather boring grey suede when I got a pair. I hear ya with the lighting/picture problems – whomp, whomp!
Love the oxfords Kelly, I bought a black pair a couple months ago but still haven’t worn them, you have inspired me to pull them out!

You know you are a girl after my own heart with all your adorable nautical accessories, and I think anyone taking outfit photos in the fall/winter can relate to all the trials (and the cold).
I love how your outfit is so classic (love the blazer!) with a pop of pizzaz with those oxfords! They are awesome! :)

I love your silver oxfords! They really elevate the whole outfit- and I love how you paired them with pearls!
I love your metallic oxfords! So cute and that blazer is adorable. Great menswear inspired look!
