♥Wearing: Forever 21 Basic Racerback Tank in Black; Mossimo Supply Co. Denim Legging – Acid Wash via Target; Zodiac Panda Boot in Black; Forever 21 Antique Pendant Necklace; Rhinestone Panda Ring via Forever 21.♥Reading: Mary Poppins in the Kitchen: A Cookery Book with a Story by P.L. Travers. Who better to steal recipes from than Miss Mary Poppins?
♥Glamourizing: Nails: OPI Lincoln Park After Dark – this is one of the très few nail colors I will wear for weeks at a time. Lips: mark Glow Baby Glow Hook Up Lip Gloss in Peek-A-Boo. Oui, oui, my loves; the nude hue is just as playful as its coquettish moniker - j’adore! Eyes: CoverGirl Line Exact Liquid Liner in Very Black.
♥Listening: Christmas Don’t Be Late by Alvin & The Chipmunks. Christmas isn’t Christmas without this song; plus, it makes me think of Almost Famous. Amour!
♥Adoring: Tailored shorts styled over sheer tights and paired with oversized sweaters/ponchos and knee-high boots. L'amour, l'amour, l'amour! Afternoons spent pouring over holiday-themed mail order catalogs from J. Crew, Anthropologie, Nordstrom, and Free People – the usual suspects, to be sure! Eugenia Kim Berets – specifically the quartet of glamorous girls known as Valentina, Madeline, Isla, and Zoe.
♥Watching: Elf. Un petit confession if you’ll bear with me, lovers…after seeing this film for the first time, I answered my cell phone with “Erika the Elf, what’s your favorite color?” a la Buddy himself for an entire year. Embarrassing, non?
♥Desiring: Mossimo Supply Co. Wrap Sweater Coat – Charcoal. Chunky, fair isle knits are my weakness; that is all. ROSEGOLD Genie Suede Platform Booties in Taupe. Swoon! The Royal Tenenbaums. I have heard far too many amazing things about this film over the years. Besoin!

♥Awaiting: The release of Jessica Schroeder’s Recipes for Style: A Cookbook for Your Closet. I am obsédé with her blog, and just know that I will feel the same about her literary debut. April 2011 cannot come soon enough!
But enough about moi; let’s talk about…vous. Time to give me the lowdown on your life, lovers! What are you up to this week?
Fashionably yours!

I'm coveting a wrap sweater coat too. something cozy but sexy... have a nice day darling! xo
You are endlessly fabulous. <3
I really want to get my hands on that Mary Poppins cook book now! And of course, I'm adoring that tailored shorts look as well. :)
xoxo
I love that you're listening to Alvin and the Chipmunks, hehe.
Don't you love fall and winter fashion? I like the sound of those tailored shorts with boots. I liked the look of gauchos a couple years back, too, with the high boots, but am not seeing them anymore :/
Carrie alway has the right thing to say! And me....I want a hula hoop ;o) I ♥ Alvin and the Chipmunks! And I've never watched Elft, but I hear so many great things about it, that it's definitely going on my holiday movie list!
Tailored shorts over tights is what I want to wear all winter!

HAHAHA. One of my friends STILL has her voicemail as "Amanda the elf, what's your favorite color?"
We play along.
I'm thinking of buying her tickets to see the broadway version for christmas.
You just might be getting in the holiday mood here! So love the denim leggings and what a cool necklace too.
Tres fabulous. I'm watching Sex and The City 2 as I'm typing this. Carrie's wardrobe, and apartments, are so wonderful. I die.
glad you listed Lincoln Park After Dark - I am still wearing that shade after 2 1/2 yrs and was thinking I should move on - but I do love it!
I'm so glad you liked the picture so much! And seriously, Christmas is here and we should all answer the phone like Buddy. And then sing in a department store.
These are always my favorite posts of yours! Love the boots you are wearing and those rosegold booties are sooo cute! Totally agree with you about tailored shorts, and I have been hunting for a nice pair myself. Hahaha I LOVE that you answered your cell like that and that is one of my all-time favorite movies! And that carrie bradshaw quote is my favorite :)
Ok, now that I have written a book on your post (lol) have a great day hun!!
Alvin and the Chipmunks... SO adorable! :)
And I HAVE to check out that Mary Poppins cookbook, I'm totally intrigued!
Fab post, darling!
Love Elf and your anecdote!

I too am loving tailored shorts, and loving that Carrie Bradshaw quote.
This week I will be (hopefully) working on a DIY project, Trunk show Friday, and looking forward to a nice relaxed weekend.

Thanks for liking my new title. Those booties are so great...I would love a pair as well!
I know a few people who like that Lincoln Park color. I does look really good on the nails!
Great cookbooks...I love to cook...that is, if my kitchen renovation ever finishes!
Lincoln Park After Dark=my fave! On my toes right now :)
I love that girl's hair in the photo! Wish I could mimic that!
ooh totally love that OPI nail color and it always reminds me of the holiday season!
I also so love tailored shorts one now but still the one thing I'm kinda on the fence about actually wearing to work :-/ just another excuse that I can't wait for the weekend!
Watching Elf! Perfection. I'm so ready for Christmas movies. Seriously, is it socially acceptable yet?

I love the royal Tannenbaums!- its so hillarious and witty. I love lincoln park after dark too this time of year. Im ready to break out the tights so I can keep wearing dresses. Other than that Ive been designing/sewing a few fall dresses for the holidays! :)
I love Elf, and I love your sense of whimsy!
Aww, you're in such a Christmassy mood, it's becoming a little infectious! And I'm adoring the same thing you're adoring - just wish I owned a pair of nice tailored shorts to pull off that look :) And ahh, recipes ... I definitely want to cook more. Are there any recipes you're eager to make? :D

The beanie on the picture looks really cute! :D I wish we have cold weather here from where I live.
You are adorable dear! I would have been greeted like that and would have replied "pink!"
Ah, I'm loving the OPI nailpolish colour. Something about it is so royal and perfect for the upcoming winter! mmm.
And Carrie Bradshaw quotes can NEVER go out of style.

Tailored shorts, tights and a poncho... sounds like the perfect combo!!
oh, do share your post-reading thoughts on Marry Poppins in the Kitchen! I'm dying to add some new food-related books to my collection.
I think I saw your acid wash jeggings tonight at target!! I got dragged off in the opposite direction...to the paper towels. No fun.
xoxo,
Carrie
ps-do you have a room of boots?
I love the boots you're wearing! And tailored shorts is a bit of an obsession of mine. I'm loving wearing them with tights in this weather.
L-O-V-E OPI Lincoln Park After Dark. Such a fabu color. =)
Win a Juicy Couture Bag!
Oh I love this post! The denim leggings look amazing, love the color! The tailored shorts are adorable and I am a HUGE fan of the movie Elf! :)
Wishing you a beautiful day Erika! ♥

I love watching Elf, too! So excited for Christmas music to start playing on the radio.
oh Erika, you and I are so alike. Elf is possibly my favorite movie of all time and tights underneath tailored shorts with oversized ponchos and sweaters make me swoon!
xoxo
Oooh, now I want to go watch Elf and paint my nails Lincoln Park After Dark!
Loving your picks! And that Mossimo wrap sweater is a great Desire!
xo Mary Jo
I love those Zodiac Panda Boots! And I adore Lincoln Park After Dark as much as you. It's one of my faves! :)
And tailored shorts, sheer tights, and an oversized sweater? PERFECTION!
