{Style} Chained...

Gold pleats, and chain motifs, and houndstooth accents — Oh my! There's a lot going on in this outfit, but I wouldn't have it any other way... And hey, while we're at it why not throw in a pop of red? Now we're talking.

Clothing and jewelry aside, there's something to be said about a good, basic bag, am I right? A black, compartment-packed cross body can make life oh-so easy, and this Nella Bella number does just that. It has removable pieces so you can wear it as a bag or clutch, upping its multifunctional factor... Now that's my kind of bag.

Happy Monday, friendlies! xx

{Style} Big News!!!

For the past four days I've been keeping a pretty major secret from you guys, and it's been killing me not to share my happy news with my closest online friends (you know, I had to get all those pesky real life people out of the way first!). Drumroll please... On Christmas Eve, Mr. AiF and I got engaged!!!! *Cue the fist pumping, jumping up and down and uncontrollable giggling*

I'll spill the details in a later post (one that's not just an outfit post featuring my new bling!), but because the past few days have been some of the happiest of my life, I just HAD to share the news with you guys! Yay!!!!

Love you all! xx
