OOTD ft. Tbags Los Angeles and The Perfect Clutch



I loooooved the bold, vibrant colors of this look. It made me so happy on such a drab winter day! Not only was it very comfy, I thought it expressed my style and personality perfectly. I happened to receive this Tbags Los Angeles dress from Gwynnie Bee around the same time that my gorgeous Gayle color block envelope clutch arrived from The Perfect Clutch, so I figured they were meant to be!

This clutch is truly the perfect clutch for me. I love an oversized clutch because I still have the look of a clutch without sacrificing space. I always hate having to pick and choose between items and try to get them to somehow all fit in a small clutch. I still like to carry all of my essentials, you know, makeup, several lipsticks and glosses, phone, mints, gum, wallet, my other wallet lol, keys, and basically everything I can stuff in there! This clutch is totally roomy and has multiple interior pockets, including a zippered pocket to keep your fave things safe and organized. Not only does it have a snap closure, it is also has a zipper closure under the flap, so you don't have to worry about your any of your things falling out of your purse!

I also love the design of the Gayle clutch. It's like the classic envelop style with a major modern twist. Gold hardware, studded accents and a cool color block design all help make this clutch what it is! And, it's a real beauty. This versatile clutch can be worn in several different ways. A detachable shoulder strap and a detachable studded wristlet are included with the bag. Wear it without a strap or choose one of the two that are included to create the perfect look for you!

Above, you can see the adjustable shoulder strap. It's long enough to even be worn as a cross-body style!

Here is a closer look at this fabulous faux leather clutch with the wristlet attachment. This gold hardware is perfection! It really brings this clutch to life.

The Gayle Clutch is available from The Perfect Clutch for $39.99. And...I was just looking at the website and noticed that you can save 20% off your next online purchase by signing up for their email list. Score!

These Flannel Cupcake PJ's Are Pretty Sweet!




I never knew I could love a pair of pajamas so much, especially flannel ones. I always thought of flannel pajamas as uncomfortable, not soft enough, too hot, and I never ever seemed to find the right fit. With that in mind, you can imagine how surprised I was after wearing and sleeping in these for the first time and LOVING them! I saw pink and cupcakes and I couldn't resist them! These pajamas are so adorable! They are now my fave pajamas. The flannel is so nice and soft and these kept me perfectly warm on the recent cold and snowy nights we have had this winter. The pants have a nice elastic waistband, so helps keep them nice and comfy and give the perfect fit. These actually felt roomy enough all over- no tight arms or button gaps or anything! I didn't even get annoyed by them one time! I mean, I truly loooooooooove them.
 I wore them with my fave neon striped slippers and I was super happy and cozy the entire night!


These pajamas are available in other prints too. They have cupcakes, of course, but also, scottie dogs, sheep and colorful plaid styles. As for sizing, they are available up to size 5X, which is so very awesome!

Review: Custom Made Wide Calf Boots by The Boot Makers

I am so excited to have a pair of boots that actually fit me properly!!!! Before I discovered these boots, I was pretty sure I would never find the perfect fit. I have a small foot and ankle area, but I have an extra wide calf. Some companies don't even make wide calf boots in my shoe size, and if they do, many times it's just not wide enough. Also, I'm only 5'1", so my legs are quite short, so finding the right length of boot can even be difficult.

The Boot Makers had the perfect solution to my issues and frustrations- they create custom made boots! They design boots with a person's individual measurements to achieve the perfect fit. How awesome is that?! I simply picked a style and color and took my measurements for my foot, ankle, calf width and leg length.
I selected the gorgeous Sienna riding boots in a beautiful, brown leather. They have tons of styles and color options to choose from, so you truly can create that ideal pair of boots you have been dreaming of. After ordering, the boots take a few weeks to create since they are custom-made.  It's well worth it, of course!

When they arrived, I was so overjoyed. It was the first time that I have ever truly had a pair of boots that fit perfectly. I think I may have teared up a little, but I'm sure that some of you who share in my frustrations will totally understand why. Having something like these boots is an absolute dream come true.These boots are so beautifully made, and the leather is soooo soft and nice. I've been wearing these boots a lot lately because I love them so much. They are extremely comfortable too! If you are looking for a great pair of boots to wear all day long, these are the ones. They are just more amazing than I could ever describe.
OK, let's talk pricing. Custom-made shoes may seem like they would be really expensive, but the prices of these boots are actually comparable with some of the prices I see in department stores and online. However, the department store boots are not made to fit you perfectly like boots from The Boot Makers are. You can't choose the measurements for boots you purchase in a department store, and boots in the store may not even fit. I think the quality and price of the boots from The Boot Makers is far better than any others I have seen.

Also, right now, The Boot Makers are having a seasonal sale, so you can take an extra 20% off of your order. This is in addition to the 20% off that international customers already receive!  For more info and to shop online, visit:

Hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving in my fave holiday, and I really enjoy getting to spend time with family during this time of year. For today's family gathering, I wanted to be warm, cozy and casual, but still wear something that expressed my style.
