An Orange A Day...

(H&M blazer / La Quaintrelle dress / GUESS purse / Nine West boots)

Whenever I hear about H&M is having a huge sale, I run sprint to my nearest H&M store and immediately scour over their racks and racks of discounted clothing. That's just how I roll. I usually go bananaz (read: spend too much!) when I'm in such a situation, but this time, I managed to exercise some self-control and left the store with just this orange cropped blazer. Good girl, Kristy!

And the winner of my La Quaintrelle $25 gift card giveaway is........... Jess from Lack of Creativity! She's such a sweet heart and one of my great blogger-friends :) Thanks to everyone who entered. I hope to host another giveaway soon!


xx toodles.

Mae Lu said...

I think orange wool and lace are probably the best combination for this season...

You always know the style into my heart...

How are you! I hope things are getting better for you. I'm sending you much love and warmth.

The colour of that blazer is just perfect for fall. I love how you've styled it too with that pretty white dress!

The orange looks so good with the lace!

Nikki said...

aw, this look is really cute, Kirtsy! I love all the lace and that pop of orange ^^ Really cute ring too! x

Aney Mei said...

Love this outfit Kristy! One of my faves - love the pop of colour. I've seen this blazer on a few bloggers and I wanted one for myself as well, but I don't think I will look good walking around in orange :(

By the way, that dress is gorgeous! Love the scalloped ends and layer of lace!

P.S. Miss you and Jess! We need to get together again soon :)

I hope things are okay, Kristy. I'm glad to see your smiling face.

I loved this dress the first time I saw it on you and I still love it to pieces now. You know I'm a sucker for scallop-y goodness. :D

I would sprint to H&M if we had one here on the island. It's so annoying that we don't, though! Urgh.

xx Love & Aloha

Looks great on you! I've tried on some of the otrange clothing at H&M and it looked totally awful on my, unfortunately.

Wow I love how the orange blazer pops! It looks amazing with the dress and boots, very pretty look!

Jess ♡ said...

I feel like we're on the same boat with H&M and sales. I go there and go absolutely bonkers. It's awful. Good thing I've been distracted by midterms lately so I got to the sale too late and nothing was left in my size (NOOOOOOOO!!!!)

Out with self-control, who cares? ;) Orange blazers are totally worth spending money on, especially when you can look as gorgeous as you do <3!

P.S. Woohoo! Winning that giveaway is literally the best thing that has happened to me in ever, especially considering that all I have been doing is reading textbooks. Thanks Kristy! <3xo

Uber jealous that your Tag.Loudly works every single time I read your posts!

I love that you chose to go with such a bright, citrus-y orange rather than a muted one that's typical for fall.

Oh man, I LOVE that blazer! Its the perfect splash of color. Haha, and yes, great self control. I completely understand the craze when I see the word "SALE" in my favorite store.

Great purchase! It's something totally worth buying at full price, methinks, so you totally scored. :D

You look lovely Kristy!

Chris (tinytines.com) said...

I'm really trying hard to steer clear of sales, so it certainly helps to read that you've been exercising some self-control!! <3 Excellent work, K!

Orange is sooooo delicious against the white. Something creamsicle about this outfit... Mmmm!
