Coral, Blue & Neutral

Coral, Blue & Neutral by dgsinny featuring Topshop

Bought this coat a few weeks ago and absolutely love the oversized fit. Granted I'm on taller side so it does not overwhelm me.

So far I always combined it with skinnier pants or pencil skirts IRL... Must try if I can pull it off with boyfriend jean and maybe heels for different look.

Coral is so versatile & combines well with so many different colours - sometimes the shade of a colour turns it almost into neutral.

Made collage to see how it would work with blue and neutral mixed prints - I like it and must go closet diving to create something similar.

Pastels in winter - yes!

Pastels in winter - yes! by dgsinny 

Never understood why some people would not wear pastels in winter.  Don't get me wrong I also like the dark autumn/winter shades but pastels often complements so nicely a paler complexion. 

I ordered some minty pieces online during Black Friday  and can't wait to work them into my wardrobe. 

Random tidbits:

- Had fabulous Thanksgiving dinner at friends' house

- Made cranberry sauce from scratch - so easy, fast & tasty... Why buy canned?

- Think my blondies and brownies did pass taste test as well :-)

- Thought I was haunted by turkey I ate when three crossed the road in random spot when I drove home... Cannot recall ever seeing free-roaming turkeys in NJ ( well, at least not where I live)... So you can imagine my surprise

- Did not leave house on Friday but endulged in online-shopping but that is another story

Theme Wednesday - Owls

Theme Wednesday - Owls by dgsinny featuring leopard print flat shoes

As previously mentioned I cannot help myself but I have a thing for owls. Think depending on your shoe choice the look can be quite different.

... And the dip-dyed leather jacket is calling my name!

Do you have any whimsical animal addiction that you cannot resist?

Benevolent Jewels - Shopping in support of good cause

What a week...

On Thursday eve we had a power outage and it hit while I was putting last touches on two presentations due for Friday... Somehow both got compromised so I waited until power came back and started over. Last one sent 2:18 in morning woohoo!

Friday nite I wake up to an annoying beeping noise... One of my fire alarms ran low on battery, duh. So 2:30 in morning I had to drag my big ladder out of garage and find replacement batteries. I'm not good on ladders in fully awakened state but zombie-like it was dangerous. And why do they make this things so fiddly to screw back together?!!

My treat of the week was an order I placed on Benevolent Jewels - gorgeous, very affordable jewelry and 20% of profit is being donated to a philanthropic organisation. Current cause is +Works ('positive Works') - an organisation that addresses bullying.

Michelle's customer service is outstanding. There was a little mix up with my order, I emailed them, response within less than an hour and resolution at no cost or hassle for me. Highly recommend!

I bought a few pieces and already wore these earrings out yesterday (sorry for not so great selfie on iPhone):

Will post my other pieces and how I plan to work them into my wardrobe soon.

Again -highly recommend... Go check them out: Benevolent Jewels

Cute little owl

Have a thing for owls. Must have inherited love for them from my granny - she collected owl figurines and I'm also strangely drawn to them.

Found this whimsical little owl watch on a chain a few days ago at my local target - was about USD15.

Here's a close up... Jumper (old) from Gap.

Random tidbits:

- We had a power outage earlier and I lost two presentations that are due... May work into nite today
- Wound some bright orange yarn for beanie ... Hey, it's getting cold in NY/NJ
- Have to locate knitting needles to start hat

Maxi dresses

Have to admit that I love maxi dresses. Have bought a number over the years and can't get enough of them.
Like them in summer bc they often are light and airy but still cover you up and you can make them work for fall by combining them with leather or jean jacket and some cowboy boots.

Anthropologie has an additional 20% off their sale dresses and two maxis are really tempting me...
