Wow, I stumbled upon this via Refinery 29′s Pinterest and couldn’t believe my eyes. That cute little outfit was L.L. Bean Signature (seriously)… and they have a whole lot of other cute little outfits I’m super excited to share with you guys. An awful lot of them are on sale too. Get on over there before everyone realizes what I did yesterday!
Do you have that song stuck in your head too? I met with a client of mine a couple of weeks ago and he mentioned that his visual merchandising manager always matches his iPhone case to his outfit, every day. Between that comment and Catherine of The Life Styled always telling me that “she (her phone) is wearing sequins tonight”, it made me realize my very cute single leopard case just is not cutting it anymore. So where do you begin when building a wardrobe for your phone? J. Crew of course. Talk about tons of great options!
First off I’d like to say how happy I am that Pinterest is letting us choose the cover photos for our boards. Mine, after way too long of changing, now looks little somethin’ like this… yay!
Moving on, I couldn’t be happier that it’s Friday. Waking up at 5:20am really knocked me on my arse this week. I’m so ready for a little extra sleep! It’s also Andrew’s birthday on Saturday, so we have lots of fun things planned. I’ve been finding a lot of time to pin on my iPhone… knock on wood the app has been working perfectly… and I’m finding so many blog ideas. It seems like I won’t be able to do two posts a day anymore, so you’ll all get a heavy dose of gorgeous on Fridays!
Well, I’m officially in love with peplums and I’m so mad I didn’t give in sooner! All along I’ve thought that I would look like a diamond shape if I ever dared to put extra material on my hips (a really huge diamond). Turns out that’s so absolutely false. After seeing Michelle Williams at the Oscars in this gorg dress I knew it was all over!
I’m totally obsessed with my nails lately. I just did this crazy red and black striped manicure last night and I’m sure I’ll be changing it again in a day or two. I’ve been browsing a million websites for inspiration and I realized that I absolutely love multi-colored nails. Forget using just one color!
Piperlime is always my go to for shoes. I can compare a million different brands and styles and really get into what I’m looking for. For spring, I’m looking for color blocked sandals. As you all know, I’m trying desperately to add color to my wardrobe. So in the spring when I feel like I need to wear all black, I can throw on a great pair of bright sandals and still have a pop of color or in this case colors. Color blocking is one of my favorite trends, so I’m happy there are about a million color blocked shoe options. Here are my favorites.
I’m ashamed to say that I only recently (like, last year) started shopping J. Crew. Now I can’t get enough. Clean lines all day everyday, not to mention the greatest silk button downs on the planet. Plus, basically everything is offered in tall!
I love the coloring of this fall 2012 collection. The whole thing seems so simple but J. Crew is the only one who can execute this style oh so perfectly. And just wait until you see menswear, I guarantee every guy in your family will be shopping there come May!

I’ll be completely honest and say that I wasn’t a big fan of a lot of the looks in this collection. But there were four looks that stood out to me as being absolutely fantastic. The mix of colors and textures used really wowed me. Plus, I love lace.

Will the queen of black and gray wear more then one bright color in one sitting? Absolutely not. Who do you think I am? Brad Goreski is always talking about adding a “P.O.C.” (pop of color) to an outfit. Thank goodness… one, and only one, bright color per outfit! Here are some examples of a “P.O.C.” Glitter & Gold style. Looks that are still anchored in black, gray, navy, and camel with a Brad approved pop of a single bright color.
