Vest: Loft | Blouse: The Limited Similar

Today’s post is all about this essential cozy vest! I guess you would have to feel the fabric to understand. The neutral color allows me to wear it with practically everything! I love pieces like that! To know I can wear it with 8 different outfits in my head while looking at it in the store makes the decision process much easier!

I find it comical in my last post I showed my tee that had lips on it, and now I’m showcasing this blouse with lips on it! I find the detail feminine and unique. I love matching my lipstick to the color of the lips on the blouse as well. And again, my snow-white skinnies as always, on repeat! Cant help it!

So after being a new blogger for a few weeks, I thought I would focus on myself versus the outfits for a change! So let’s get started….

I have come to find that blogging is not only relaxing, but I love researching about lovely things to share with you! I’m always very updated with fashion resources and trends so its hard not to share all the things I come across. Also, at my current full-time job, the dress code allows us to be pretty darn casual…which isn’t okay by me!! I always feel dressed up, because everyone is usually in jeans and tee. My blog gives me the fun opportunity to dress up for you!

Why Bordeaux Blvd? Call it maroon, burgundy, or purple’s cousin, bordeaux is my fav color!! I live for fall when the color is everyone!! I started this blog a couple of months ago…getting it pretty and planning outfits. During a shopping outing one day, I stumbled into Banana Republic to find that L’Wren Scott knows a way to my heart! He created an exclusive line for Banana Republic which included a magical word…BORDEAUX!

It was at that moment that I knew the name of my blog was perfect beyond words! I freaked when I saw this though, because its perfect for me! Lady Bordeaux? Come on, can’t get better than that! So this discovery and the name of my blog make me super excited about my new personal hobby!

Before I started this blog, I was strictly Instagraming my outfits while connecting them to Facebook and Pose. I realized that I loved doing this and wanted to expand it further! Of course I decided to pay for and claim the blog’s domain.

Snaps of past fashion moments…

Onto a personal side note, my best friend Emily (who is a fantastic writer) will be guest blogging on here as well! Her writing skills and my love for fashion are taking us to New York at the end of this year! Our goals and passions will hopefully get us there! And although NYC is having a huge snow storm right now…it wont stop me!

Until next time! ox

Bag: Kate Spade | Leather Skinnies: Express | Jacket: Cynthia Rowley (Platos Closet) |

Heels: JcPenny Similar

The other day at work, this lady stated that the front of the store looked very white and black. She asked me where all the color was. I then told her that black and white is still a trend that is lingering around even towards the end of winter.

Being a responsible budget-minded fashionista, I go to great lengths to make sure Im getting a good deal or investing in a good piece. When I stumbled across this jacket at Plato’s Closet, I was curious on why any girl would choose to let it go! To pass up a Cynthia Rowley jacket for $14.00 would be crazy! Speaking of her, I would head on over to Birchbox to see her adorable beauty line. I plan on using my 20% coupon for her kit next week!

Given this outfit above which is strictly showing off black and white, I think the next time I wear it I will add a bright colored statement necklace to add some color. In my last post, I showed how I love being neutral but having a piece within the outfit that adds a POP to catch the eye!

Bring on the week ladies! Make it wonderful!
