Blanket Behavior

November 13th, 2009

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.

    I just wish you would be more adventurous w/ your writing though, i see the same similies and “templates” over and over again. don’t take this the wrong way!

    Ah yes the crimson mouth for Fall/Winter. Isn’t it such a fun and simple way to look different?

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

    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).

    I love the blanket look! I just recently bought a poncho that has the same effect and I cant stop wearing it. So cozy and comforting especially now that we are heading into the winter months. Good outfit choice!

    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!

  • Jess

    I second (or third!) the idea of you doing the next “how to” on your hair – it’s so pretty and casual! x

  • http://locksandlashes.blogspot.com V.V.

    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.

    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?

    Gorgeous.
    You remind me of Christina Aguilera here (but obv. much, much prettier!) red lips are becoming on you! <3

    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!
