While it's been really hot here after a mild August I have found myself struggling to fight the urge to wear fall's cooler weather clothes. I want my jeans back! So this mix of soft, summery mint and the more dense and warm olive are a good way to mix both seasons! I feel like I can have the best of both worlds. … [Read more...]
One of my favorite blogs is Agi's from Vodka Infused Lemonade. She knows how to mix, match and pair things up so well. If you want to know how to wear a blazer or have a style question she has probably written about it and created various looks. Plus, the woman can decorate a mean cupcake. I'm co-hosting with her this week too! So join in! … [Read more...]
It's clear that I'm a minimalist. I am currently obsessed with Forever 21 and their minimalist collection and find myself drawn to Victoria Beckham's pre-fall denim collection (already on sale!) with its structured tops, menswear-inspired shoes paired with various denim pants. Take the Japan top from her line. … [Read more...]
Only 6 more days left of summer vacation and we have been packing in the fun. We took a little break though to bring you this super cute back to school set from mini Boden. Can we stop for a minute and have a chat? I'm so in love with Boden. And mini Boden? Well, that is just an extension that has made me glad I have three kids to dress up in the really simple but stylish and well-made clothes. The fabrics are soft, wear well and the kids love the comfy feeling of the denim leggings like no other. I like that each piece can be mixed and matched up with another tunic, dress or pair of pants in no time and can get passed on down the kiddie line and not look worn to death. Indulge me as I post our favorite looks. The wise owl knows good style for the preschool set. The purple denim leggings … [Read more...]
You can tell the end of the summer is near because everyone is tired of everything, including each other. Please, tell me that it is not just in my house. The girls are not exactly ready to give up the carefree days of summer but they certainly aren't thrilled with much of anything else either. In other words it is all, "Boooorring...I'm so tired." Don't let those smiling faces fool you. So let's look at something pretty to distract ourselves, shall we? … [Read more...]
I'm going to fully admit that I'm over this whole shorts and sandals, tanks and swimsuits thing. I'm ready for distressed denim and boyfriend jeans with sweaters and scarves and all of it! I want cool, crisp breezes drifting through my windows versus slamming into a wall of humidity but I won't complain anymore than that because I have these cute Rockport Seven to 7 Wedge booties to get me through. They are totally bringing me out of my funk. … [Read more...]

The minute I saw this ad with Michelle Williams for Louis Vuitton I knew that I had to create something similar to it. Didn't I just buy a new white crew neck sweater, after all? My hair is short and blonde. I have brown eyes and I'm always down for a swipe of bright red lipstick. This look? It's my fall. It's neutral, timeless and takes me through my days. My favorite pair of distressed jeans are calling my name. I think some cute booties or heels would work too. The bag is a whole other story. I love it but I can't afford it. My money is going to things like actually seeing Michelle Williams with Alan Cummings in Cabaret next month in NYC! Pre-Fall Neutrals by victoriamason featuring blue jeans Mango blue jeans / Topshop high heel pumps, $98 / Armani Jeans brown … [Read more...]
Yeah, I went there. I couldn't help myself, guys! I was combing through the photos from the last Whatcha Wearing Wednesday link up, the best one yet I might add (THANK YOU!) and I just fell in love with Jill, from Doused In Pink and her orange tank and black shorts look. It is this week's BEST LOOK OF THE LINK UP! … [Read more...]
