January Wish List

Recently I have been doing lots of online browsing and my wish list has grown quite a bit. So I wanted to share it with y'all! I have wanted a few more tops and dresses so that is mostly what I have been looking for and a few extras.

Trixxi Bow Back Lace Dress

Seriously, this is me in a dress! The bow detail and the lace sleeves make this dress so sweet. It has been going out of stock often, and I may have been stalking it and just snatched it up when my size was available. I am pretty dang excited!

Rebecca Minkoff 'Mini Mac'

Actually, this has been on my wish list for about a year. I much prefer a smaller cross-body style bag to a large tote and this is the perfect size. It is a bit expensive for such a small bag, but the main reason I have not bought it yet is that I cannot decide on a color. I am debating between the black {which would match nearly everything and show minimal wear} and the soft blue {which is a gorgeous color and more unique, but it would show wear and might not match everything}. Let me know in the comments what you think!

Frenchi Flutter Sleeve Lace Tee

I admit to having a thing for lace. My style is definitely quite feminine, so lace fits in with that. I cannot even count how many lace shirts, dresses, and shorts {yes, shorts} that I own. I need help! I love this shirt mostly for its flutter sleeves, but I also like that it is not too long like many of the shirts I have seen lately. And - lace!

Frenchi Ruffle Hem Lace Tee

I found this after seeing the other lace tee and loved it just as much, plus it is on sale! This tee has a different lace pattern and an adorable ruffle hem. Also, this shirt is not form fitting at all which is quite flattering. I would pair this with skinnies and boots for a quick outfit!


What's on your wish list? Looking forward to summer clothes again?

Favorite Pins of 2014

Happy New Year's Eve!

The last time I posted to The Capricorn Notebook was well over one year ago. Crazy! I became really busy and found that I enjoyed reading and finding inspiration in other blogs {you can find some of my favorites in the side bar} more than writing my own. In the next year, I hope to periodically post new trends and updates. Today, I created a look back at some of my favorite pins from Pinterest that really captures this past year.

Six Faux Leather Jackets under $100

1. Collection B  2. Two by Vince Camuto  3. JCPenney  4. JCPenney  5. Charlotte Russe  6. Guess

*Hurry while the Veterans Day sales are still on!*

As the temps are getting lower, I am finding myself in need of jackets to keep warm this fall and winter. Unfortunately for those who like to save a pretty penny, leather jackets can get quite expensive. A great alternative to leather is faux leather, of course. From a mere $25, any of these jackets will keep you cozy and on-trend this fall.

A leather, or faux leather, jacket is an extremely versatile piece. It can be layered over a simple top or can be dressed up over a cocktail dress. However you wear it, it is sure to be a staple in your closet.

Happy Weekend!
