TGIF :: Date Night Out

Happy Friday and Happy New Year! Today I'm bringing you one of my favorite looks for a night out in the winter. I love the flow and comfort of a drapey cardigan; in some edge with {faux} leather and you've got the perfect look for a night out with friends or your Friday night dinner date. You can never go wrong with all black, or throw in a pop of color {like my all-time favorite fuchsia}

.

You can find my MK by Michael Kors Faux Leather Mixed Media Drapey Cardigan HERE, or shop some of my other favorites below.

Add some knee high black boots {especially on a rainy day like this!} to top off your look.

My all-time favorite necklace, the Pegasus was a semi-painful purchase to make. At $200, it's not exactly the most affordable piece of jewelry. But can I tell you how WORTH it this piece was? Perfect for dressing up or down and adding that unique touch to any outfit. I get multiple compliments every time I wear it.

My DVF fuchsia top was sold out in what seemed like minutes, but you can shop some of my favorite fuchsia tops below. I recently went on the search for the perfect shade of fuchsia {not too red, not too purple} and these all fit the bill.

Mad for Marsala :: Pantone Color of 2015

Happy Friday! Today marks my last day of work before all of the Christmas festivities ahead. Why don't we look ahead to 2015 just a bit; Pantone has recently announced 'Marsala' as the Color of 2015 and I couldn't agree more! I LOVE this shade of red wine / berry / oxblood and it has been on mine and my clients' shopping lists for some time now. I've managed to snag a few Marsala items and I'll be sure to keep my eye out for even more. Here's some Marsala inspiration for you, and some more of my favorite items.

Marsala isn't just the color of 2015 fashion, though. Try it in your beauty routine this winter! My favorite Marsala lip is Painted Earth's Transforming Lipstick in STARLET. Pair it with a plummy gloss, like this Dragon Lipgloss in PARIS.

Another place I LO-OVE this color is on bottom. A 'Marsala' pant goes with literally everything; pairing especially well with chambray, olive, neutrals like black & white, and navy. It's also fabulous with leopard. Here are some of my favorite Marsala pants ::

Wishing you and your family a Happy Holiday Season! I can't wait to ring in the New Year with you.

2014 Color of the Year :: Radiant Orchid

Yes, I know it's February... but it doesn't make it too late to discuss the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year! Announced at the beginning of January, it is... drum roll... Radiant Orchid! I am loving this color, which I describe as a lovely sunny mix between fuchsia & lavender. It is flattering on virtually any skin tone and is sure to brighten up any blustery day. AND, I'm not only loving the fashion aspect of it -- I'm inspired to put pops of radiant orchid in my home, on my nails and in my makeup palette!

Here's some of my favorite radiant orchid inspiration; from pants, to pumps, to polish ::

I think this color is going to be perfect for spring, and you can bet it will be making more features on the blog in the upcoming spring months! We'd love to hear from you - share your favorite radiant orchid looks with us!

Use the hashtag #radiantorchid & tag @lifestyledatlanta on Instagram and show us how you're wearing it or incorporating it into your home.

XOXO,
