What I Wore - Tory Burch Heaven

2011 ended on a high note because on Christmas morning I opened a gift from my wonderful parents and my dream came true!

The Tory Burch jacket that I had whined about HERE and HERE was in my hands. I pretty much jumped up and down and put it on immediately before deciding that the household of 12 people, 1 baby, 5 dogs and 2 cats might cause it some damage and I took it off put it in its box and relocated it to a high shelf for the rest of the day.

However, a few days later when my husband and I were invited to sit at the Chef's Table in the kitchen of a wonderful Italian restaurant with friends and clients, and I knew that my beautiful Tory Burch jacket would be making its first outing.

What I Wore - Black and Gold

I was feeling like looking a little more polished while running around in the cold weather last week. All black always makes this possible. Add a sock bun and a pop of gold and my ensemble was complete.

Blouse - Free People

Leggings - J. Crew

Boots - Tory Burch

Bag - Yves Saint Laurent

Necklace - Ann Taylor

A closer look at my sock bun. It was surprisingly easy and didn't require a single bobby pin.

Hello pretty.
