OUT AND ABOUT

And just like that, warm weather appears magically out of nowhere again this month. I’m starting to think I should just leave clothes in my car from every season so in the event the weather person is wrong I can just switch up my outfit in the car. I’ve learned to rely on that initial first step onto the front porch in the AM. Yup, that tells me everything I need to know, but just to be safe, I’ll throw some flip flops, boots, scarves and a rain coat in the car. 🙂

This past weekend I hung around downtown Garner before the big Super Bowl game. No coat needed for this adventure as it was in the high 60’s for most of the day. I’m super excited because while down there some locals informed me that they are building this hometown coffee shop over this way, which means I’ll finally have a coffee shop to hang out at other than Starbucks. Don’t get me wrong, I love Starbucks but there is nothing like supporting small businesses. I’m also in full support of organic coffee as well. The smell is always so robust and most flavors are bold and smooth.

The OOTD was a basic boho chic tunic I purchased on sale from Target’s Knox Rose line, jewelry and booties are from Charlotte Russe, circa 2010. No worries, I’ve linked similar looks at the top for your purchasing pleasure.

One more day till Friday so happy Weekend!

And because I can’t get enough of this darn scarf by Tight Knit NYC, I took that baby downtown for some good food and random skipping through the street. It’s not everyday this girl gets dressed up and dances the city streets so when I saw the opportunity, I took it and ran, I guess I skipped, LOL. I told you I’d share how to style this scarf for a day out on the town. I also don’t keep secrets either which is why I want to share the brains behind this knitting operation. One of my good friends from college is the secret behind Tight Knit NYC. It’s an honor to be associated with such talent. A big shout out to Ashley Kirkman for this amazing handmade scarf. I had a blast showcasing this cozy piece and look forward to future collaborations. If your in the hunt for something warm, cozy, handmade and just darn cute, visit I suggest you visit Tight Knit NYC. She has something for everyone, hats, chunky scarfs, and even knitwear for the kids. You can check her out on Instagram at @_tightknitnyc. I’ve also taken the liberty of linking my scarf, a similar black dress, and booties for your purchasing pleasure too. Don’t forget, you can still get 25% off your Tight Knit NYC purchase when you use code: COILSCURLSCOZY.
 
Happy Friday!

CASUAL COZY WITH TIGHT KNIT NYC

It’s cold out here on these streets so I stay bundled up with my new infinity scarf by
Tight Knit NYC. How else do you expect me to stay warm and stylish all at the same time? Speaking of stylish, I kept it real casual but colorful and paired my new scarf with some skinny denim, a basic plaid button up and cute suede wedges.  With a scarf color this bold and green, your outfit should include relaxed colors that let the scarf pop and do it’s thing.

NC is calling for some serious snow and ice this weekend so I pulled this baby out because I know I can weather the storm with this wrapped around my neck 4 or 5 times, is it hot in here or is it just me? Yup, I said it, this scarf goes a long ways, and I mean that literally. When I received it I was so happy with how much fabric there really was. FYI, it’s a nice wool fabric and handmade, might I add. I’m prepared for any snow flurry or icicle that comes my way this weekend because I’ll be immersed in a bundle full of warm and cozy. You can be too so I’m starting off the new year right and giving you 25% of your Tight Knit NYC purchase when you use code: COILSCURLSCOZY.

I’ve linked my amazing new scarf, my plaid top, denim bottoms, and a similar pair of shoes at the top for your shopping pleasure. If you or someone you know has shopped Tight Knit NYC before, I would love to hear about the experience or see photos of how you styled your item. Feel free to comment in the comment box below. Stay warm lovelies. Oh one more thing, I know your wondering how this scarf can be dressed up for a night out on the town, so stay tuned because I have an outfit idea up my sleeve.

Sincerely,

Deidra Marie
