Fabulous Friday

 New notebooks via Rifle Paper Co.

Obsessed with this wrapping paper {via Paper Source} and I think the birthday girl will be too {happy birthday to my Dallas bestie!}.

Planning on spending some much needed time this weekend catching up with the March fashion issues. The reader's issue of Harper's Baazar featuring Gwyneth is my favorite cover this month!

One can never have enough candles and this yummy persimmon, peach and currant scented one fit the bill on a recent visit to Nordstrom at The Grove.  The pretty packaging was an added plus!

If this doesn't make you smile, I'm not sure what will: Nala Riggins sunbathing.

Inspiration: London Fashion Week Street Style

Last week was the New York edition. This week we're hopping across the pond to ooh and awe over London's most fashionable. I spy Poppy Delevigne {twice}, TopShop polka dots, YSL Arty rings, Celine floral and something fuzzy from Alexander Wang... Who reigned supreme when it came to the art of street style: New York or London?

Don't forget to shop the Not So Mellow Yellow post from earlier today!  XOXO

Giveaway: Zara Gift Card & Styling Advice

I have a confession: I'm currently obsessed with Zara.  Their pieces are on trend and are great quality for the prices so you can try fun pieces but still feel like you are getting your money's worth. The new spring collection is amazing; I scored these awesome snake accented heels and crochet shorts recently {more photos to share soon including a studded collared shirt, printed pants and Chanel inspired jacket}.  With that being said, I thought it'd be fun to host another giveaway before February is over.

In honor of my recent obsession, the winner will receive a $75 gift card to Zara! I would also be happy to provide the winner with styling advice on my favorite pieces from the Zara website. To enter simply do the following:

1. Become a Follower of Guide To Style {"Google Friend Connect" at right}.

2. Like me on either CurrentlyObsessed.Me {here} or Facebook {here}.
3. Leave me a comment letting me know you've done the above along with your email so I can contact you if you are the lucky winner!

Extra Entry: Follow me on Twitter and mention the giveaway {be sure to @nsguidetostyle so I can find your tweet}.

The winner will be announced Wednesday, February 29th.  Best of luck!  XOXO

Inspiration: New York Fashion Week Street Style

I think that the street style in New York during Fashion Week is often times more fashion forward than the actual shows.  Here are a few of my favorite shots from this past week via style.com and photographer Tommy Ton.  Coming up next, I'll recap some of my favorite shows and presentations {Marchesa, J.Crew and Rebecca Taylor to name a few...}! XOXO
