Tulle dress, American Eagle
Bow earrings, BCBG
Locket, CatBird

Just like the one I used to know…
I’m dreaming of a White Christmas with {long distance loving}‘s Friday’s Fancies today!
Cashmere Cable Sweater, J Crew, $228
Skinny jeans, J Brand, $191
Cross-Continent Weekender, Anthropologie, $178
All Wrapped Up Ear Warmer, Kate Spade, $51
All Wrapped Up Pearl Drop Earrings, Kate Spade, $68
All Wrapped Up Pearl Short Necklace, Kate Spade, $128
All Illuminated Heels, Anthropologie, $95
Since my mini vacation and few days of relaxation begins today, I thought I’d go with a comfy winter white look with this sweet cable knit sweater. In case I haven’t featured Kate Spade bow accessories enough this year, there’s three more for you! And I think I just found bliss in a handbag with that Cross-Continent Weekender.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas if that’s your cup of tea, and if not then a joyous holiday season! Please eat, drink, be merry and safe 🙂 See you sometime next week!

Sparkle + Shine
Well it has been quite sparkly week here huh? Even more fitting then that today’s Friday’s Fancies on {long distance loving} is themed Sparkle & Shine! My wishlist is overflowing with sequin-encrusted pieces right now, but here’s an outfit featuring just a few of my favorites. I love the idea of this Anthropolgie sequin bolero, mostly because I have inherited a rather sparkly bolero myself from my own mom. Maybe I’ll bust it out in an OOTD if you’re lucky and I’m feeling brave 🙂
Starshine Bolero, Anthropologie, $138
Pure Iridescent Pleated Skirt, Ruche, $36
Glitterati Ballet Flats, J Crew, $128

post script. If you want to see more of my sparkly finds, follow me on Instagram (emilyshell)– I’m in the middle of my 25 Days of Sparkle challenge and it’s all documented there!

‘Tis the season…
… for holiday parties!
Linking up with {long distance loving} for a Holiday Party-themed Friday’s Fancies! Thought I’d break away from the traditional red + green + silver looks I usually love at this time of year and instead put together a [dream] outfit around pale pink + shimmer. Yes, I know you’re tired of seeing it, but that Kate Spade book clutch is still number one on my lust-ever-after list. Sorryimnotsorry.
Light & Lace Dress, Anthropologie, $258
Chain Wrapped Drop Earrings, Free People, $298

Emma Book Clutch, Kate Spade, $325

Avanessi White Gold Love Ring, Max & Chloe, $350
Gussied Up Heel, ModCloth, $43
Now if only I had some real occasions to wear this number. Oh, and the money to purchase it 🙂
Happy weekend friends! Hope it’s a good one for you all. I’ll be busy dancing my little heart out!

Sequin + Shine
I had been wondering if Anthropologie was going to give into the sequin styles this season! But in true Anthro fashion, they have made the trend their own. Here are some sparkly pieces on my lust list:
Alpheratz Sweater, $178
Twinkle Lights Pencil Skirt, $218
Wink & Rimple Dress, $228
Elena Clutch, $98

Butterfly Kisses
I have a new love.
The Lepidoptera Dress.
This is an interesting one though. It didn’t hit stores until late summer, and even though it is full of some gorgeous fall hues, I knew I wasn’t going to be warm wearing just it throughout fall.
Enter some cozy scuffed boots and a pullover burnt orange sweater with an extra 30% off courtesy of a couple thread pulls I located. Now we’re in business for 50-degree Beantown.
Lepidoptera Dress, Anthropologie

Blazer Beauty
I am so excited about this week’s Friday’s Francies theme since blazers are my favorite fall pieces [good choice {av}!]. I especially love the look of boyfriend blazers (like this one from Jack Wills), because they have a bit more of a laid-back feeling but are still chic and professional. J Crew also has some in a ton of cute colors this season… loving this pink one!
Only problem I have with blazers is there gets to be a time in New England’s fall–>winter when they are not enough of a jacket, but also feel too bulky under anything else! How do you all do with wearing them under coats? Or do you just layer under the blazer to stay warm?
Renshaw Boyfriend Blazer, Jack Wills, £229
Accordion Pleat Chiffon Skirt, Forever 21, $15.80
Aoxi Heeled Oxfords, Anthropologie, $198
Bloomfield Headband, Jack Wills, £19
Mod in Mauve Clutch, ModCloth, $50 (sale!)
All Wrapped Up Pearl Earrings, Kate Spade New York, $68
Snake Chain Bracelet, J Crew, $58
Hang in There Glasses Pendant Necklace, Kate Spade New York, $148
Happy weekend everyone!! xx

Purse ‘n Boots
Linking up with the loveliest {av} again for my second Friday’s Fancies!
This week’s theme: Crazy about Boots…
Halima Riding Boot, Lauren by Ralph Lauren, originally $198
Tangerine Flicker Dress, Anthropologie, $358
Deux Lux Snake Chain Crossbody Bag, Urban Outfitters, $49
Jezebel Bronze Butterfly Necklace, CatBird, $220 (fifty percent of proceeds go to charity)
Poly Canvas Bow Hair Clip, American Apparel, $14
I cannot get this burnt orange color out of my head this fall! I’ve never craved orange, but lately I can’t get enough of it. I actually own those Lauren by Ralph Lauren boots (and I am crazy about them– took me forever to find the perfect pair but I finally did last winter), and I love pairing them with this tangerine shade.
And in the spirit of this beautiful pair of brown and orange, check out this photo my godmother snapped from her back porch of a sunrise this week:
Happy Friday everyone! Have a lovely fall weekend!
