California Redwood Fashion

What I'm wearing-beanie (Love Winnie James), jacket and scarf (Indigo and Sage), yellow puffer vest and jean leggings (gap), black boots (Just Fab)... scenery not included!
 I haven't been to the California Redwoods in 20 plus years.  We woke up Monday morning and decided  to return to our honeymoon spot more 20 and 1/2 years ago- only this time with 5 kids in tote.  I have not been disappointed and the forest captivated our children as well!  The beauty of these giants has held a spell on me all of these years. The scenery for the shoot definitely makes the fashion!

Fashion New Year's Resolution- Go Vintage


I LOVE  that hats are making a come back and Julene wears this vintage find PERFECTLY!  (all photos are courtesy of Brenna Burrows Photography)



 Of course, the hat tops off a killer look all found at Poser's Place-  fitted pants, scarf, sweater, and top (my mom would call it a blouse).


 There is nothing better during the holidays than a little get away and Julene in this vintage find is ready for a beach side get away- aren't you?
The is definitely a "happy holiday" for  fashion look.  What a great way to kick off the new Year--- travel and fashion.  Make your New Year's Resolution- GO VINTAGE!

Need a break from the bustle... go vintage

As a writer, I look for the perfect words and the perfect placement of each word in each sentence I create.  Getting dressed each morning is no different-- my staple items are my nouns and verbs and my accessories are my adjectives and adverbs-- Brenna made my writing easy!

Creation- Shopping Vintage allows for creativity. While 

Brenna is usually the one behind the camera...she definitely

"kills" it as KEPT'S  model!  #brennaburrowsphotography


 The latest "in" accessory this winter is the "poncho trend." While originally the poncho traces its roots as a traditional item of clothing in Peru,  women all over the world are making it a "come back."  Ponchos can be found in all fabrics and colors and is worn as a replacement for scarves.  Brenna found this adorable poncho at our local vintage store, Poser's Place on Main.
 Shopping Vintage is the perfect break from the aisles and aisles of clothing and displays that just simply look "the same."  Shopping at Poser's Place is "eye candy."

 Paired with combat boots, a chambray top and skinny jeans, Brenna tops off this look with a vintage piece of jewelry- perfection!
KEPT can't wait to get back to Poser's Place in the New Year!

Saturday Sanity with Winnie James

 Less than a week to go and the count down is on for last minute shopping.  Thursday, me and hubby spent a marathon day shopping for our five kiddos-- can I just say I still have a shopping hangover.  After a while it just starts to look the same.  How happy I am to just "click clack" Winnie James!
These are my Saturday Sanity picks... I hope it's not to late Santa!
This black 3/4 Sleeve everyday dress is my fave.   Love, Love, Love it.  The pairing of the black booties and jacket (see below) finish the look-!  Steal of a deal $31.99
 My next fave is this hooded plaid in red and black just $29.99- great price without the loss of sanity!
 Killer look- this Alexis Hooded Jacket was paired above with the black everyday dress-  I am so in love with it!
The Pom Pom is back-- this fur Pom Beanie tops my list of "must haves" for the Holidays.
Thanks Winnie James for the Sanity!  Good luck to all of you with your last minute shopping!

Marvelous Monday at KEPT

I have this dress and I love it- I wore mine to church and dressed it up with a scarf... perfectly perfect!
 It's a totally a blizzard out today.  Thankfully, I am here click clacking away and can enjoy the beautiful snow from the window.  My Marvelous Monday picks come from Indigo and Sage- three women, three looks- all perfect
I love the "glam" of this holiday party look- the sequins are perfect for the holidays!
and for the more casual look the baseball T is a must. I love how each of these girls wear this look-  dressed up, casual, and  already for "fun."  I wish I would have got one--- not to late for me or you .... Follow Indigo and Sage on Instagram!

Throwback Thursday... Poser's Place Style


 
 Ohh.... I so wish I was here again to day hangin' with Brenna.  Brenna pulled off this polyester perfectly pairing it with tights and combat style boots.  She is totally vintage chic!
In Case you don't know reader, Brenna and I are cousins and she is Beautiful, and talented and an amazing mother and woman (she got all the good Weaver genes).  She coached me through the pics I took of her! Brenna is our resident photographer at KEPT while Karynn is away.  




I love Brenna's dress she is wearing and the one she is standing by!






Ohh la la!

 Watch out "Jackie O!" I love this look from the '50's.  Feminine and stylish and totally classy.  Kept can't wait to return to Poser's Place!

Thanks for joining us at KEPT... hope the holiday shopping is going well!  

What are you wearing today... I'm wearing booties from Urban Renewal, my favorite jeans from Gap, perfect Chambray T from Old Navy and the coziest and cutest chunky sweater that the Lynn sisters gave me from their Boutique, Indigo and Sage" sale I hosted for them... love it!  P.S. can't forget the jewelry-- Last year's Christmas gifts from hubby- pearl necklace and earringa and vintage opal ring.

Winter Wonderland

 I love it when I can take a break from the "crazy of life" and catch a breath of fresh air.  To feel the snow crunch underfoot as I wandered a lonely road was medicinal!  And of course wearing my red hunter boots made it perfect! 
 My festive holiday leggings and vest are from Lovewinniejames.com-- love this on line boutique and my beret  hat and  long sleeved top are from TJ Maxx. Nothing better than fun fashion that's affordable! 
My daughter Emma has decided to take up photography... didn't she do great?  Enjoy the holiday season, but don't forget to find some fresh air and a lonely road!

Lovin' the holidays!

What I love...So, I must admit I am a Frank Sinatra fan and especially at Christmas time.  I also love it when I get to see Christmas through the lens of Brenna Burrows Photography- this shoot with Indigo and Sage had me humming Sinatra's "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas."  The venue for the shoot was absolutely amazing as well.  Notice the design and color- perfect for the season.
  I'm Lovin' the holidays with Indigo and Sage and these fabulous winter looks which are both festive and fun.   This weekend KEPT is proud to offer you an exclusive invitation to a boutique showing with the Lynn Sisters of Indigo and Sage on Saturday from 11 to 3 at 102 East Cobble Creek.  Come shop!
 I snatched me up a buffalo red checked vest quickly... now I am wishing I would have snagged the scarf too- Maybe this weekend?
 What's your excuse? Stop and Shop at Indigo and Sage this weekend or follow them on Instagram... they are another one of the things I love best at Christmas time and any time.


Their vests definitely sing "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas."
