 With the Super Bowl being less than a week away, it's time to choose who you're rooting for. If you're like me and don't usually support one of these teams and don't want to have to go out and buy something of their's but have a party to go to, that's not a problem! Here are some great options to root for either the Seattle Seahawks or the Denver Broncos. And in all honestly, you're probably only really watching the Super Bowl for the commercials and the halftime show anyways;) Seattle SeahawksDenver Broncos

 Giuliana and Bill Rancic are one of my all-time favorite celebrity couples. They could not be cuter together, especially now with their adorable son, and of course, with Giuliana being on E!'s Fashion Police, she always has great style. This outfit is one of my favorite street looks that she was captured sporting, and it would be perfect for a work look. If you're looking to get your hair like hers too, check out my Pinterest board, "DIY Hair & Makeup" for different pins and tips on how to.

I love everything about Jessica Alba! She's just downright gorgeous and always sports the best outfits. So when choosing this outfit of hers, I thought about all this lovely winter weather going on throughout the U.S. and felt it only appropriate to do a fab look that you can wear out in the cold. Don't forget the red lipstick to complete the look! So.....Bundle Up! Get the Look
I've never been one that really likes to buy athletic gear because I think, "I'm only wearing it to workout in. Why would I want to use my money on that?" However, this top totally changed my mind, and I'm starting to see that athletic apparel for women is a lot different than it used to be. I found this top yesterday at TJMaxx by MPG for only $29.99 and I just couldn't resist. It's super girly, cute, great color, and something I can wear for more than just working out. So today with having the day off for MLK Jr. Day, I needed to run some errands and thought I'd be comfy and wear this. It's a great top to go with some athletic pants or jeans, throw on some tennis shoes, and you're good to go!
In addition…..Stay tuned for the AMAZING herringbone pattern athletic capri pants I also found at TJMaxx.  How can you not love faux fur? It just gets me ready for winter and in such a warm and fuzzy mood, and of course, it saves the lives of innocent creatures from becoming your next clothing item. Faux fur looks just as good and feels almost exactly the same as real fur. Here's a faux fur vest I just got recently. I've worn it twice now and am always looking for more ways to wear it. Also, I know my pup is probably sure glad that it's faux fur and not the real deal;) Get the Look - Faux Fur Vest - pariscoming.com - White Blouse - TJMaxx - Skinny Jeans - Target - Simply Vera Cream Knit Leg Warmers - Kohl's (See them close up below) - MIA Brown Riding Boots - DSW - Lauren Conrad Pearl Necklace - Kohl's - Bracelets - J.

Here are other great faux fur items! In honor of Hart of Dixie being back on TV tonight, I felt it only appropriate to do a post about Rachel Bilson's fab looks. Since The OC, Rachel Bilson has always had the girl next door look, and she still does to this day. Her looks are always so simple and chic like the one pictured here. Get the Look
As funny as that may sound, that's exactly what I thought of when I needed to think of a name for the look. It's definitely a feminine take on the outdoorsy, manly look.

I've gotten TONS of compliments on it over the years. Since I'm fortunate enough to live in the Midwest and who doesn't love experiencing negative degree temperatures, like I have the past week, I thought it was an appropriate time to talk about outwear. Whether you're in the need for something warmer or you're just looking to get a new look, I've pulled together some cute items that you can find right now. You don't have to sacrifice being warm to look trendy and cute. The staple items that everybody who experiences cold weather should own:
 The best way to dress when you're going out shopping is keep it light, but warm enough so you don't freeze, and make sure what you're wearing is comfortable! The biggest pain to me when I'm shopping is when I wear a coat, and then I have to carry it around in all the stores. I recommend ditching the coat by either wearing a heavier sweater OR puffy vests are perfect for shopping. They give you the right amount of warmth outside, while not overheating you inside. In addition, you can always throw on a scarf for added warmth. I wouldn't suggest wearing mittens/gloves because then the odds are better for losing them. You're better off wearing a hat, as long as you leave it on your head. Shoes are the most important thing! If you aren't going to be able to walk around in your favorite boots all day, then DON'T! How many people are going to be looking at your feet anyways? Today is about comfort, getting around to the products you want fast, and not needing to take time to sit down and rest. So, just put on those tennis shoes and go. Your feet will thank you! Believe me, if you follow these tips the people you are shopping with will thank you! It will prevent a whole lot of headaches and crabby, Christmas shoppers. Once the day is done and you're home reflecting on all your success and the wonderful purchases you've made, grab a glass of wine and throw on your favorite slippers, because you deserve it for a job well done. I've even posted a picture of my favorite slippers.

This way they'll be easier to spot amongst all the hoards of people and you won't have to worry as much about them getting lost.
