Rainy Dayz

OUTFIT DETAILS: Leather jacket- Nordstrom, Cotton On sweater, Joe's Jeans, Ziggy boots, Forever 21 necklace

I absolutely love leather jackets, they are the ultimate investment piece. I bought my first one from Bebe as a gift to myself after having my second child ( ok so it was the only way I could justify spending $350 on myself, pretty sound argument if you ask me)! I fell in love with this leather number because the hood gives it such a casual cool vibe and any shade of green works well for a red head. How do you wear your leather?

Neon & Black


Peter Pilotto for Target dress, Nine West booties 

There's something about New Years that just screams wear black! But if your feeling anything like me and are just too exhausted to think about being sexy or sophisticated throw on a dress with a pop of neon. The neon lends a fun touch to the black, not to mention the mix of patterns on this dress. It may appear to be too much at first glance but its New Years, so go big or go home ladies ;) I would love to see what you're wearing for New Years, tag me in your Instagram pix @polishedpractical_style

Forever 21: Jewels of the Week

Brooklyn Brass ring $60
Cutout Cuff Bracelet $4.90
Mixed Fringe necklace set $6.90

This is my last Jewels of the week post of 2014!! Ok it's really not a big deal seeing as I'll just be back to posting next Monday, being a tad bit dramatic over here, it's Monday after all. You don't want to ring in the new year on broke status so I've featured Forever 21 for this week's jewels. There's a little retro for all you ladies that like to get down to Uptown Funk ( admittedly on replay for me), a tribal-inspired cuff and necklace set that takes all the work out of accessorizing. Hurry now -there's a sale online at Forever 21. Happy Shopping!

Almost Famous

                    OUTFIT DETAILS: Joes Jeans, H&M top and TJMaxx long cardigan, Nine West booties
My first thought when I saw this draped over one of the racks in TJMaxx was "Penny Lane would love this"! If you have no clue who I'm referencing do yourself a favor and check out this trailer for Almost Famous - Kate Hudson's character is Penny Lane. There's a coat that appears over and over within the movie as a symbol of protection. While Penny Lane's story is tragic, wearing this near ankle grazing cardigan made me feel like I too had a little armor on. The swish in the bottom of the cardigan allows for easy movement for those don't bother me I mean business kind of days. If you find a night to relax and check out the movie let me know what you think!

Polka Dots & Cut Outs

OUTFIT DETAILS: Zara top, Nordstrom Rack jeans, Nine West booties

Any top long enough to cover my butt has my vote of confidence! When work gets super hectic the last thing you want is to be adjusting your clothing every time you sit down, so this conservative at first glance blouse from Zara is perfect. Take that blazer off though and things get a little more sassy. I've always found showing a little skin on your back is far sexier than a ton of cleavage. What do you guys think of the cut out details?

Francesca's: Jewels of the Week

       Moore Beaded Necklace $42
        Ennis Jeweled Earrings $24
                       Taurus Pendant Necklace $12

Happy Monday! I hope you all enjoyed your weekends! I don't quite feel ready for it to be Monday so what better than to immerse myself in researching pretty jewels. It's a tough job but somebody has to do it! This week's pick is Francesca's - if you like what you see you better hurry because they have a Jewelry Bogo sale! Not a bad idea if you still need to buy some holiday gifts. I love just popping into the Francesca's in the Glendale Galleria and browsing the knick-knacks surrounding all of the jewelry, you'll definitely find some quirky items to buy friends. Enjoy the rest of your day!
