Hit the Jackpot

My better half is off for eight days away for business, some of which includes some time in glittery Vegas. While I am home tending to the fam, I am hoping he wins some molla and is feeling extra generous. Maybe enough to come home with a seriously great gift. In case this happens, here are some ideas. A girl can dream...

1. A big Gucci tote 

2. Who doesn't covet a classic Burberry trench?

3. Because you love me. In French. Jennifer Meyer

4. A gorgeous diamond bar necklace by Gabriella Artigas

5. Because a Cartier Love bracelet is always on the list. 

6. These Christian Louboutin nude mary janes are classic and flattering. 

7. In need of a new pair of black flats. Why not these Ferragamo numbers? 

8. You know they carry Celine at Barney's, right?  

9. Loving these Jimmy Choo sandals. 

10. A Givenchy in cobalt would be kind of my dream. 

11. Chanel, Chanel, Chanel. Always. 

12. Casadei makes such killer heels. 

13. These would be great for pretty much everything. Casadei

14. A delicate Jennifer Meyer sapphire ring. 

15. A black YSL tote would be a nice addition. 

And just for fun, since I will probably not be out of warm sweaters and leggings while he is gone, here are some dresses I would want to bring if I was hitting the tables with him. 

From Left: UNIF $125 (loving a crop right now), Bec & Bridge $250 (this dress is h.o.t.), David Lerner $255 (flattering with a cut out back), Parker $187 (glitzy sequins on sale)

I just realized these are all black, white, and nude. Clearly, I am in a neutral state of mind. So chic with statement heels and a punch of color in a cuff or clutch. 

Most importantly today, I want to thank everyone for their support of my post yesterday. It was a little scary to open up that much, but once again I have the best readers whose feedback made it so worth it. Love you all. 

Hope you have a lucky weekend. 

Get excited for the Oscars on Sunday.

Denim Topper

The easiest jacket to add to your Fall closet is a denim one. Cropped, bleached, biker, dark wash. Any style can easily top off your favorite warm weather looks to get you through the chiller temps. I am in the market for a new one and love the styles that these ladies are sporting. 

It is hard to pick which style to go with. All four of the below are similarly cut, with a slim fit and sleeves ample enough to fold up. I  have always gone with dark because it seems so versatile, but these more vintage washes have me second guessing. 

1. Gap / 2. J. Crew / 3. Rag & Bone (on sale) / 4. Rag & Bone

A smart shirt, scalloped shorts, that midi style skirt you are dying to try, a comfy t shirt dress, or a printed maxi would be a nice addition, right? 

1. Club Monaco / 2. Asos /  3. Asos / 4. J. Crew / 5. Chinti & Parker / 6. Asos / 7. Velvet 

It weirdly feels like Fall already, although I am sure that it will be hot as hell again in a week or two. Getting excited for shopping for real clothes. I have taken yoga pants to a whole new level during these last weeks. Happy shopping!

A Little Fall Feline

I used to be completely averse to leopard print. It always looked a little cheap and was never really incorporated well into a look. I have been warming up over the last couple of years. I have yet to really dive in with a ton of pieces, but I think shoes are the perfect way to add a little wildlife into Fall. The print looks great with jeans, a little black dress, with leggings and your favorite sweater. Flats, wedges, sandals, and pumps, there are so many choices...

1. Jimmy Choo $795

2. Madewell $135 (love)

3. Dune $146

4. Madewell $398 (obsessed)

5. Me Too $70

6. J. Crew $188 (on sale! Perfect for work)

7. TopShop $90

8. J. Crew $298

9. Charlotte Olympia $975

Meeeooooowwww

Fall Uniform

I have spoken about uniforms before, and if what I have been gravitating to already for Fall shopping, this year will be no different. For every day, a slouchy sweater and black leggings or skinny jeans is pretty much all you will see me in. I switch it up here and there with a skirt or a button down, but really it is the easiest (comfortable) look to put together. Especially given my new side kick. 

Luckily with all of the brights for Fall and the coated or waxed jeans that are popping up, I can get something a bit different that will refresh this sometimes-boring assemble. 

It is nice to see someone like Lauren Conrad, whose style I love, also get into my uniform...

I got this top ($128) and fun coated jeans ($178). I am completing lusting over these YSL cap toed slippers ($675). I have not seen this exact shape (not into them being too pointy) with a more wallet friendly price. 

Is it weird to be shopping for Fall when it is 90 degrees out? Not sure, but I love looking to the new season and scouting out what is really going to work for my every day life when it comes to trends. 

PS: Here is a link to some coated jeans I found for $61 on Wallis. Really loving this easy update.
