So I wanted to wear something flirty that would also be good for concert going in the evening.
The silk number is from Banana Republic and I paired a cream silk shirt underneath for a little color.
My favorite hostess of the mostess Pam is hosting a black and white dinner party tonight and the requirement: wear black and white only.
Not only will all be looking like giant oreo cookies, but we also will probably be eating them...
So i brought out the black tights, boots and the sweater and went with this. I wanted only white to be in the skirt so it stands out.
French inspired embroiderer patterns continue to remain in style. I've worn this shirt a couple times this summer and still think it works as a fall option.
Funny story: as I was running errands at bed bath and beyond i noticed i was matching the nice selection of bedspreads they had on sale with this same pattern...haha
...and the table clothes, towels, shower curtains...
who says furniture patterns can't be wearable?
We have a big interview today with a special guest, so I wanted to look my best.
A tight black skirt and nice pressed blouse is timeless, but to make it a little more hip I added this fun grey wool tuxedo jacket from urban that I'm seeing everywhere this fall.
I love, love sweater dresses...
So here's a new one from Anthro which I think is pretty classic, especially the loose collar and cuffed sleeves...way cute! I think grey matched with black is the best combo for this. Many options to make it work appropriate: like those heel black boots for one. Add some leggings or tights and viola!
The belt is optional, but I think it pulls the outfit together.
bring on the cold weather baby...
I thought this flowery blouse deserved to paired with some tight dark wash jeans and my favorite purple flats.
Added a little black sham cover up and I think it works fairly well together....right?
I hope I don't look like I'm too much in the 70's with the bell-bottom pants...but these cords at Anthropology are too fun to pass up...and comfy mind you! An extra plus...:)
Bringing out the fall colors again
...this time with my favorite fall sweaters!
I finally finished reorganizing the closet (took me all week!) and now have a nice selection of cardigans, sweaters and ponchos to wear...I haven't seen them in a year!
Nice to be reunited again! Since I forgot about these it's like getting a whole new weardrobe again. (Don't laugh, you know it's true!)
Hence- brown/tan banana republic cardigan (Crica 2006?) and those new brown cords I bought ($50).
Wake UP! I had a rough night last night, stayed a little too long at an after work happy hour and am trying my best not to go crawl back into bed and say good night. Why does work have to get in the way???
Well as you can see I'm armed with coffee...lots of caffeine...it will be my main accessory today. haha
Oh man, is it wrong to feel I'm single-handily keeping Starbucks in business???
The classic black cocktail dress...with a twist.
I've got an important lunch date today and what's a girl to wear? Something chic and fashionable, but professional since its work clients were talking about.
But forgo the boring suit...I'm definitely not the type if you can tell.
So I added a belt to spice up the outfit and this really cool red necklace (World Market?! can you believe $12).
But don't accessorize with another piece, a belt and a necklace is enough. Don' want to look like you are trying too hard to impress.
wink wink. ;)
The black boot, black tights, grey jersey dress and a scarf to accessorize, I am loving everything about this...
What do you think? Fashion approved for the fall?
I just hope Rachel Zoe would approve...haha
Also...have you seen my new fall purse? Yup, she's pretty...
Another purchase on a recent shopping trip, but i love the mustard yellow..a very fall color, I keep seeing it come up in Vogue.
And did I mention it's fashion week in NYC next week...so in honor of the style gods, I'll be promoting my own take on the fall fashion.
...it comes with a zipper and a cute little tassel. Love!
I am definitely going to put this to good use this year. I've been looking for one that has a hood and with the material being cotton it's very light weight. And did i mention it's my favorite color!?
I bought this with my cuz Janine during a shopping trip (that I wish not to repeat for awhile, poor bank account) to Forever 21 ($25 NO JOKE! Go get one quickly!!)
So many things to pair this with, but I opted for a more casual look and wore it with jeans while I ran errands all day.
Yup, it's about that time. God it's been raining crazy all week and I recently had to dig out all my winter stuff and prepare for the cold ahead. sigh.
But I'm still trying to hold out on those summer dresses for awhile- so today I wore a black sleeveless dress, only I put my warm Jcrew sweater over it and added boots.
Summer how i long thee...kidding.
I love it, fall is here. Officially.
It's bittersweet saying goodbye to summer, but at last its time to move on...and the colder, crisp weather it brings is hands down better than the hot muggy humidity we are forced to suffer through during the summer.
I paired this crop khaki jacket with a fall color inspired skirt, the oranges, browns, and khaki scheme reminds me of those fall leaves.
Those colors have continued to define the fall style season and every year prove to be a staple autumn themed palate.
This fall, I'm attempting to wear more earth tones and get away from my usual black and white...but well see how that goes. :)
how could you not otherwise?
I wore this for my dear friend Ariel's going away party which had a Paris theme...and the wonderful host Pam who followed Julia Child's "the Art of French Cooking" step by step and made the most fabulous meal I have ever had!
Dinner parties are a blast. Especially in the company of good friends.
