Are you going to shop the madness?
Hi friends! I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve been a Flavors To Follow but don’t worry, I didn’t forget about it. In my two year blogiversary feedback, many of you said that you loved these posts so I felt like it was about time I owed you one. This week’s current obsession is color blocking. This trend has been around for a couple months now but I’ve finally just got around to embracing it. It’s basically where you pair a few bold colors and wear them together, or the colors can appear in a single item. There’s so much you can do with this as the color combinations are endless! Some of my faves are turquoise + aqua, black + white + coral, cobalt + turquoise, neons + neutrals and green + yellow! Here’s a few items I have found and love!
1 These DSW black pumps with a touch of red (and blue) hot!
2 Loving the yellow and green pairing of this Nine West satchel. I think it’s about time I buy a new bag, don’t ya think? Who’s with me?
3 This Ayca knit scarf is quite the beauty and sure to keep you warm too in these cold winter days.
4 What a gorgeous pairing of coral with black and white in this LaPetitPaillette necklace, what a great contrast!
5 Go bold with color blocking in this Asos skirt.
6 Or be a little more subtle and sweet with this Shopkempt dress!
7 Be comfy casual chic in this flowy Forever 21 top.
P.S. The winner of the Fresh Tangerine earring giveaway is Kait from Pretty Things! Congrats girl! Please email me at sandyalamode(at)gmail(dot)com with your mailing address and we’ll get the earrings sent out to ya!
Hi friends! It’s almost the weekend and I am SO excited. This has been a busy week at work and I’m just looking forward to unwinding and relaxing. We have a game night and another Thanksgiving dinner planned with friends (can’t wait for more pumpkin desserts), once Baby a la mode comes it will be a lot harder to just go hang out with friends on a whim, ya know? Lately, I’ve been super obsessed with all things sequins. I guess it’s the season as it’s always fun to sparkle a little at those Christmas and New Years parties! Here are a few that I looouuurve!! 
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
1 Let your hair make a statement with this adorable Ruche bow hair clip (you know I have a soft spot for bows).
2 These Yesstyle boots are will keep you dancing all night long!
3 This Shopkempt skirt would be so perfect for a night out with your significant other of your girl friends!
4 Peter pan collar and polka dots, such a great combo for a shirt from Chicwish!
5 Pair this Asos sequined jacket with a plain outfit for instant fabulousness.
6 And lastly, who says your staple little black dress can’t be one with Francesca’s sequins all over it?
7 Such a timeless little dress with a removable sequined collar from Modcloth.
8 This Sosie top look so comfy and so glam at the same time, love it!
Have you entered the $35 credit giveaway to the lovely Seek First rosette accessories shop?
It’s that time again… it’s the time to divulge my new favorite fall trend, and that would be fair isle. I seriously had to google it to find out the exact word for it and why it was called that, basically it’s a certain knitting technique to create patterns with different colors. Makes sense. Not going to lie, I’ve already bought different pieces in fair isle, so you may be seeing them in outfit posts coming up.
1 I have an obsession with sweater dresses and this AE one is no exception!
2 These Modcloth gloves scream fall, fashion, and warmth… great gift idea for Cold Hands, Warm Hearts participants!
3 Leggings are in, fair isle is in (at least I think so), so these Nordstrom ones are perfect!
4 I’ve never ordered from Asos before, but I absolutely adore that shop and LOVE this long cardigan. I’m always looking for longer tops to go over my ever expanding belly.
5 These UO slippers are darling and they look super warm for walking around on hardwood floors and tile.
6 Ponchos, like this one from Revolve Clothing, are SO versatile and comfy, just throw them on over an undershirt, skinny jeans and boots and your outfit is made!
7 Add a pop of color to your outfit and keep warm with this Lori’s Shoes snood!
8 And everyone needs a soft cozy J.Crew sweater for going out or for sitting by the fireplace.
Whew, what a crazy busy week this has been and thank goodness we’re at the end of it! Work is increasingly busy as I’m trying to train the newbies to be able to take over for me while I’m gone on maternity leave, my computer crashed twice this week, all of the Cold Hands, Warm Hearts partner emails went out on Tuesday/Wednesday (if you haven’t received yours, email us at coldhandswarmheartsswap@gmail.com) and went to Child Birth class on Thursday (tip to preggos from the labor nurses: don’t write down your birth plan because the opposite will probably happen)! This weekend I’m excited to just relax, relax, relax. Right now we have absolutely NO PLANS, and I love that.
Hi friends (old and new)! Today, I am joining in on the October Followers Fest hosted by the lovelies:
1 This photo just screams beauty and fall.
2 Loving the colors in this Aisle To Aloha Fallen Leaves canvas painting.
3 A scrumptious looking pumpkin dessert, need I say more?
4 What a fun little craft idea, don’t you think?
5 A girl can never own enough bags, like this Nine West one!
6 What a fun and cozy little dining room setup for fall~!
7 Kind of just love everything about this outfit, especially the leg warmers.
8 I would love to end each fall day with this refreshing apple cider cup.
Hope you all enjoy this upcoming beautiful fall weekend! It’ll be a much needed relaxing one for me as I need to soak up the last bits of this year before I turn another year older on Tuesday. 
But wait, before you go…
