Looks like we finally made it to the weekend, and there's no better way to celebrate than by getting a little gussied up and heading out with friends. This is pretty much my ideal night out look: dressed up track shorts, an easy tee and optional blazer, barely there heels, and a beyond fun bag. I can't get enough of this little feather bag - so very Cher Horowitz, and what's not to love a little about that? Here's hoping everyone has an amazing weekend! xoxo

There's pretty much nothing I love to wear more than dressed-up track shorts (here, in perforated leather) and light and airy blouses. (If I had known that track shorts could be so cute, I might have taken up running a long time ago. On second thought, probably not.) Add a bold blue blazer for a pop of color and an eye-catching extra with this Botkier bag. (How fun is the print on this bag? Love!) Finish with this heel-boot hybrid, snake-print sunnies, and a few black and gold jewels for a summer to fall transitional look that is just dying to hit the town. xoxo Get the Look! 1.

Nasty Gal Sweet Viper Shades $20 Not that I'm looking or anything, but if, let's say, someone would be looking for a sweet new LBD, this one just might be it. I love the simplicity of the shift silhouette paired with the snake-printed faux leather, and there are probably a million ways to work this into your wardrobe. Booties and a jacket for fall? I think yes. But for now, It's so chic paired with pointed and ankle-strapped heels, tribal-inspired accents, and flashes of gold. Officially adding everything here to my summer wishlist, and I must admit, it's getting long. xoxo P.S. - Don't forget to enter the Subtle Luxury Summer Giveaway! Get the Look! 1.

Sometimes the only way out of a funky, mid-week rut is to throw it all on at once: embellished sleeves, a printed mini skirt, contrasting printed heels (in calf-hair, no less), an eye-catching metal belt and layers of jewelry. Give the sweatshirt a slight front-tuck to show off the belt, and rock a statement ring on each hand. Layer similar necklaces of different lengths, and top it all off with an easy, chain-strap handbag and understated bangles. Hope everyone is having a great week! xoxo Get the Look! 1.

A soft jersey dress with strategic ruching is figure-flattering and comfortable without looking sloppy, and a studded leather jacket will help up the glam factor. Stack on statement gold jewelry (loving these beautiful and affordable pieces by Rose Pierre), and grab a low-key black clutch. Finally, break up the monochromatic look with a standout heel in bold blue. Who's ready for Friday night? xoxo P.S. - Don't forget to enter the Subtle Luxury Scarf Giveaway! Get the Look! 1.

Alright, alright...it's way too soon and actually not even close, but I'm thinking that a heavy dose of bold green could get anyone in a summer state of mind. Pair this peekaboo mini dress with a black blazer and statement heels, and add a little interest with an animal print clutch. Finish the look with a pair of cuffs and standout cocktail rings with hints of gold. Now, about that tan of yours... xoxo P.S. - Don't forget to enter the Lash Clothing $100 Giveaway!

Baublebar Quartz Signet Ring $140 More Fit and Flare Dresses: Dear Diary, I'm heading out to Las Vegas this weekend, and I want to dress "Vegas Fancy" on Saturday night. I was talked into this white dress the other day at BCBG, and I could use a little style advice. (I was hesitant to buy white in the middle of winter, but the dress fits really well.) How can I accessorize the dress to make it a little more winter-appropriate? - Cristie Dear Cristie, In my opinion, the rules about wearing white in winter went out the window around the time Gaga draped herself in raw meat and actually made it across a red carpet alive. Even if you don't agree, then there's no better time to throw caution to the wind than during a "Vegas Fancy" night in Sin City. To winterize the white mini, add a fitted black leather jacket and head-turning black booties. Finish with black and gold accents and a bold "Book Club" clutch because, well, I find it amusing for a night out in Vegas. For a different take, add a pastel jacket and color-blocked heels like the look below, and finish with tough, gunmetal accessories. Whichever way you decide to go, remember that a positive attitude is your best accessory, and at the end of the day, pretty much anything goes in Vegas.

Zipped Up Clutch $38 Breaking our usual tradition of New Year's Eve at a cabin in the mountains, this year we plan to spend the evening at home with friends, and I couldn't be happier. That said, I've decided that a NYE at home shouldn't put a stop to the all out glam feel of the night, and this dress is simply stunning. Keep the look classic with a sky-high grey patent heel and a jewel-toned clutch, and add an unexpected finish with delicate gold jewelry. Let's face it, I may not get THIS decked out, but at least I can live vicariously through my fabulous readers. What are your plans for the big night? And, more importantly, what on earth are you going to wear? xoxo Get the Look!1. Parker Art Deco Beaded Dress $396

Minimize the surrounding stares (and possibly stay warm) by topping this edgy look with an oversized and oh-so-cozy chunky sweater. I guess the only question is...do you dare?
