Christmas Eve Attire


My in-laws create the most beautiful spread on Christmas Eve.  A candle lit dinner with the finest china is laid out every year for the occasion.  Unfortunately Brian and I are always working up until the last minute and barely make it in time to sit down with the family.  We always want to look nice, but relaxed.  So here is what I have picked out for Brian and myself.



What will you be wearing?

Madewell is HERE!

Did you guys know that a Madewell has opened in Frontenac Mall?!?!  This is no joke guys.  I've been stalking Madewell for a long time--always too fearful to buy a brand online that I had never seen in person.  Well guess what?  Now I can walk across the street from my job and waltz myself straight into the Madewell store in person!  I can't believe it.  Above are some of my favorites right now... and yes I would wear all of that together... and yes it would totally rock.

Bootie Everywhere



I've been craving some wedge booties.  I really want the Minnetonkas, but I'm not sure if I would love the fringe or get tired of them too quickly.  Oh the decisions one has to make in a blessed life.  I consider myself a very lucky girl.
1. Minnetonka  2. Old Navy  3. J.Crew  4. Toms

Shoes to Work It


I just got the above shoes from justfab.com.  I know, I know; no one wants to read about one of those shoe membership websites.  So I won't write about it.
Yet with any new shoe purchase I now need a new outfit to wear it with!  I love the idea of mixing really hard masculine pieces with soft feminine ones.  The tuxedo pants, the leather jacket and the boots are masculine and edgy.  I chose a very soft blouse with lovely gold accessories to complete the look.

Can we take a break and talk about how awesome that Michael Kors watch is?  The Michael Kors watch look has been the watch for several years for women.  I don't know if the oversized trend will go on much further, but I have to say, I'm still a fan.

Here's where I found everything: pant | jacket | blouse | purse | boot | necklace | watch

Work it Girlfriend


As you know, I've been experimenting with video for work.  Well, here was my final product!  I know I have a lot of room for growth.  I'm excited to take on more fun projects like this one to showcase beautiful things from Esther!  If you have any suggestions on what the subject of our next video should be, please leave a comment!

Forever in my Heart Part 2

Here is another reason why I really like Forever 21.  Forever 21 isn't just for trying new trends.  They have something for every woman, no matter what your personal style is.  They have cheap classic items as well.  Below I picked some of my favorite preppy and classic pieces.

Forever in my Heart


Yes, it's true; I at one time was a merchandiser for Forever 21.  And people are always surprised that I loved that job.  

Are you kidding me? 

I got to merchandise and style crazy different looks and genres of clothing.  I was stretched in my capabilities as a stylist, merchandiser, and display artist.  I had guidelines that were open to interpretation and a lot of freedom to do what I wanted and dreamed up.

So, yes, I still like to shop at Forever 21.  Why wouldn't I? The prices are unbeatable and you can try out new trends without wasting your money.  When you spill something on your clothes, it's okay!  This season I've really wanted to try a faux leather jacket, a blouse with studs, faux-reading glasses, and some rockin’ suede driving loafers.

Pre Fall Look

We are getting a tiny taste of fall in JULY!  I know that's crazy for St. Louis.  Pre-Fall items are filling the local stores and I can't help but want to incorporate some of my fall items into my wardrobe already.  I already have the sweater and shorts from below, now all I need to do is pick up the right accessories for this easy relaxed look.

Cheap Finds


Apparently I've been on a shoe kick lately.  (Pun completely intended)  As you can see you from my last posts I've been buying a lot of shoes lately.  I just got these from target a few weeks ago, on sale of course!  I really like these because the elastic straps fit snugly over my thin feet.  They do pinch a little at the toes but over all these are fairly comfortable and great for work.

Wedding Attire for the Guests Part 2

If you are anything like me, you probably have more than one wedding to go to this summer.  There are bound to be some crossover on the guest lists.  That means I get to buy 2 new dresses!

Again I already have the shoes and this dress!  I bought this dress at a sale this winter that I just couldn't pass up and have been saving it for a wedding this summer!  I can't wait to dance the night away in this twirly Yumi Kim beauty.
PS. Yes I actually did join one of those shoe club sites, justfab.com and got these gold beauties for a STEAL!
Find it all here:

For the guests...

We are well into June and that means we are well into wedding season.  I love getting to celebrate with close friends on their big day, and I of course enjoy a party and reason to get on the dance floor with my favorite partner.  Here is what I’ll be wearing to the next wedding I attend…

 No seriously, I already have the dress and these shoes (only with gold studs).  Now I just need to get the right accessories…

Boutique Splurge

This is the latest beauty that found its way into my closet.  I think I fit the description of NSF dressing descerning women with a relaxed sensibility and quiet confidence, quite well.

Boutique Splurge

This is the latest boutique splurge I indulged in!  You can find it here.  It's really light weight and I've already gotten to wear it a few times now that it feels like spring is among us!

I am also considering jumping on the knuckle ring band wagon.  What do you think of this?  Here are some of my favorites I've seen.

POSHMARK

I found this really fun shopping app a few weeks ago.  It's set up so well!  All you need to do is list the item you want to sell at a price you'd be willing to give 20% off the top away.  When someone buys it, you get emailed a free shipping label.  (You can get free shipping packaging from usps.com.)  There are no returns.  It's the most hassle free shopping app I've ever seen.  I'm loving it!

Join POSHMARK to buy and sell your fashions!  I'm going to start listing a bunch of items.  If anyone is interested let me know!

Day Job...

Sometimes Fiber Sketchbook becomes a little dormant.  It is usually because I very consistently blog and write copy for my day job.  Learn all about it at EstherSTL.com.  Feel free to peruse the clothing and accessory listings and be enlightened by the colorful descriptions, written by yours truly!

Boutique Splurge

Goddis Sweater.  I just splurged on this beauty.  Too bad it has been over 100 degrees, and I can't imagine wearing a sweater any time soon.  Man-O-Man I love this look.  It's ridiculously soft and looks great over one shoulder with wide leg jeans!

Chiffon Blouses



Chiffon blouses are everywhere.  This elegant trend dresses up every occasion.  Blouses and shorts are even huge.  I'm particularly loving the tulip back cut like this yellow blouse.  I'm not prepared to go bare back quite yet.  I am a midwestern baptist girl at heart, that would be too scandalous.  We can all still get the effect even if I'm wearing a cami.



How adorable is this peterpan collar pleated top?  It's so sweet, and so me.  I could wear it with skinny jeans, or tucked in to a little skirt.  Either way I love it.  The mint green is perfectly on trend as well!

Bloth of these tops can be found at Charlotte Russe for under $25!
