Blanket Behavior

by Emily

Pixie Market Shawl, Anthropologie Slip, MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick, Zac Posen Tights, Nasty Gal Vintage Booties

The next best thing to staying in bed is wearing a plush shawl that easily passes for a blanket. I found this faux pony hair poncho at Pixie Market a few summers ago and despite the oppressive heat at the time, I knew it would become a staple during cooler months. It’s a great alternative to a cardigan and with a swipe of red lipstick, I can be out the door in minutes with a look that’s equally cozy as it is chic.

35 Maimoona { 11.13.09 at 8:53 am }: I love shopping on Nasty Gal. They have some pretty cool stuff, especially if you check the vintage stuff regularly. Although if you type in the wrong name you can end up somewhere else entirely!!!

Also, I love your red lipstick, although its such a different look I almost didn’t recognize you for a second!
36 Allie { 11.13.09 at 8:55 am }: Beautiful! Love the hair!

(For those of you asking what color it is…it’s in the description under the pic. She says it’s Mac Ruby Woo! )

45 Magchunk { 11.13.09 at 9:39 am }: Those boots are hot! They totally spice up the boho feel of the poncho. And I agree with the folk above that the red lips look fantastic. I’ve been venturing into red lipstick myself, so you’ve given me a little more courage!
46 Jessica (Haute Teapot) { 11.13.09 at 9:42 am }: I love the last photo of you! I have a great big wool poncho I got in Iceland and turn to it a lot in the winter months. So cozy…

I love MAC Ruby Woo too as well as “Red” by MAC.

76 chicfaced { 11.14.09 at 12:56 pm }: i love the messy bedhead with the classic red lips - you are honestly the master when it comes to juxtaposing certain looks (classic/comfy, edgy/girly, sweet/hard, etc etc).

92 The Lil Bee { 11.16.09 at 7:32 am }: I know they say everyone can pull off red lipstick with the right shade, but I disagree. You, however, have pulled it off—hook, line, and sinker. Stunning!
93 Jess { 11.17.09 at 12:21 am }: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR WEARING FAUX!!! I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE NOW!!!
94 Blue Satin Sashes { 11.17.09 at 11:08 am }: Love those booties!
95 Sarah { 11.17.09 at 4:03 pm }: I second (or third!) the idea of you doing the next “how to” on your hair - it’s so pretty and casual! x
96 V.V. { 11.23.09 at 10:57 pm }: That high chignon is so chic! How did get your hair like that? Did you tease it first and then use bobby pins or did you just magically put it up with an elastic.

97 V.V. { 11.23.09 at 10:58 pm }: That chignon is so chic! Did you tease your hair first and put it up with bobby pins? Or did you magically just throw it together and fasten it with a regular hair elastic?
98 Fashion CHALET { 12.11.09 at 8:18 pm }: Gorgeous.
You remind me of Christina Aguilera here (but obv. much, much prettier!) red lips are becoming on you! <3

99 Bailey { 01.03.10 at 8:03 pm }: I love your hair in this one! How do you get it like that?
100 Jessica { 03.03.10 at 10:36 am }: Thanks for helping me figure out how to wear open-toe booties! I just bought a great pair because they were a steal, but wasn’t sure about the tights/sheers/toes bit. Love your shoe collection!
