friday's fancies #11.

Raise your hand if you're happy it's Friday...I know I certainly am!

Tonight, my 18-month old nephew {jcv} and my sister-in-law {kv} will be making the drive down from Maine to hang with uncle {cv} and auntie {av}. We're anticipating a Friday night full of pizza, Capri Suns, and Toy Story 3. Seeing as that agenda isn't all that "fancy", I chose a playdate-appropriate outfit...which definitely retained its fancy pricetags.

{all images are screenshots from the sites linked below}
1) Dreaming of summer nights out on the Cape, I spotted this striped cotton funnel-neck top from Tory Burch. It screams cozy--like something you'd throw on after a long day on the beach. Though it feels more like an igloo outside, I knew I needed to allow this summer dreaming into my Friday's Fancies.
2) I'm a May baby, so when I spied these Elsa Peretti Color by the Yard earrings in 18k gold with emeralds at Tiffany, they called to me! {An emerald is my favorite non-diamond sparkly thing...followed very closely by a sapphire.} For this little get-up, I thought the emeralds would be MUCH more fun.
3) Trying to alleviate my dear {kv}'s strain of carrying {jcv}'s life on her shoulder, I thought this gold beauty from Kate Spade, otherwise known as the hit the dock rudy, would be the perfect solution. It also gives off a nautical vibe--just right for the Tory Burch stripes.
4) I almost went with leggings here, but I noticed these Pixie Pants when I was in J.Crew this week. They're a fantastic mix of legging and pant...kind of like a pair of jeggings, but maybe more like peggings? Call them whatever you wish. I just decided they would keep me a bit more wintry looking ;)
5) All hail to the UGG Cozy Knit Slipper. They're by no means fancy--and by most accounts {including mine}, they're not in the slightest bit fashionable. For the cold toes I'll have on the couch while watching some Pixar magic, these slippers would warm them right up. 

Are you cozy just thinking about it?! Because I know I am!


The better question is this...
what are you fancying this Friday? 
Dream big. Let your imagination fly! 
The nineteen fashionistas who linked up last week definitely did :)
{Best of all, you won't feel guilty tomorrow for spending too much!}


One piece of FUN news for this Friday...
Next week--in the spirit of the Oscars, I'll be pulling together my 
dream red carpet get-up. I'd love for you all to play along too :) 
It's all a part of a toast to the Oscars blog crawl starting at 
cornflake dreams on Valentine's Day!

Start scheming for next week...but start dreaming for tonight!
Cannot wait to see all the looks you pull together--and thank you so much 
for taking the time to play along! Much love, {av}

  11. YES, Toy Story 3! I cried so hard when I saw it in theaters that my bf was a little embarrassed. I'm so curious about those pixie pants... they make me nervous, but if a) you recommend them, and b) J Crew makes them, that's enough to persuade me. Have so much fun with your nephew!

    P.S. I'm going to need to learn how to do Friday Fancies -- how do you pull the outfits together? Is it a website?

  27. @ leigh...I use Polyvore.
    I love how many of us choose stripes. Its the trend that just keeps going. I can't wait for summer. Am I alone? I love those UGGS too. I got some "similar" from Target ;)
