I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It’s OKAY to wear navy blue and black together! Better than okay… It feels modern & cool!

Wine-colored cords and a snowflake sweater ended up being what I wore to my family Christmas party on the 23rd. I added a chambray shirt (mainly for warmth!), burgundy bow flats, and some sparkly jewelry!

Happy 2013! Here’s to hoping you aren’t too hungover from your sequin-y celebrations last night. If you’re able to get out and about, here is a casual outfit for some inspiration! Don’t worry, your sequin clutch from last night can carry over.

While I’ve been home, I’ve gotten to go to two Illinois Basketball games! The Braggin’ Rights game versus Mizzou in St. Louis (where I happened to run in to a Bows & Sequins reader!) and the annual United Center game in Chicago (where we way-to0-closely beat Auburn).
If you’re new around here, Illinois is my alma mater and I am an avid Illini basketball and football fan! I was born bleeding orange & blue, if you will. My parents have had season tickets to both Illinois football and basketball games since before I was born so I have been to quite a few games.
In my humble opinion, a sports game is no excuse to wear a generic t-shirt in public. Over the years, I’ve become pretty good at finding cute game day options that don’t include jerseys or sweatshirts! Don’t get me wrong, I have a few Illini jerseys and I’ve been known to wear them to football games, but I much prefer a cute orange and blue outfit.

A few weeks ago when Tracy & I were in Atlanta with Buick, we had the opportunity to watch a cooking demonstration by Top Chef Hugh Acheson at one of his restaurants, Empire State South. This is what I wore.

Bare legs… What are those? It’s been a while. These pictures were taken a few weeks ago on a very unseasonably warm December day in New York.

What’s more festive than a bright red puffer jacket?! These freezing cold temps at home have left me wanting to stay indoors at all costs. When I’ve had to venture out, I’ve thrown on a cozy tee, my trusty JBrands, a winter accessory, a pair of boots, and my new puffer!

Happy Sunday! Remember when I got to go to Atlanta a few weeks ago for the Buick Encore media event? As promised, Tracy and I made a little video while we were there!
Congrats to Michael for winning the design competition! I can’t wait to go to the New York Auto Show in April and check out his design!

As I mentioned a few months ago, I made it my mission to try most of the pumpkin cupcakes in Manhattan this fall. Such a difficult task, I know! I made sure to document my calorie, I mean cupcake, crawl.
First up, Sprinkles!
