Black Friday

I am totally enthralled by Vogue Paris Editor-in-Chief Emmanuelle Alt. This is the grown-up, edgy style icon/girl crush I have been needing recently. Such a good look (or am I just in a dark phase?).

Same for this one

Like, Love, or Hate?

I feel like the thing with trends is you either like 'em, love 'em, or hate 'em. So how do you feel about clogs? Elle calls them 'controversial'; Rachel Zoe calls them one of the hottest trends of the season (actually she also calls them controversial as well...) What do you think?

Kors Michael Kors, Shopbop

My personal verdict? Love....but I think I'd have to ease into them and wear them under wide leg jeans at first.

January Jones is always looking good. I like her style.

I'm thinking about taking this photo to the hair "salon." Although that would mean I have to stop going to Super Cuts because they would not do well with anything other than a "blunt" cut.

Tucker for Target

Well I had discussed my love for the brand Tucker in a previous post, but now I'm hear to brag about my new purchases from Tucker's newest venture....Tucker for Target! I have had the date of their debut marked on my calendar for weeks, and lucky for me I logged on in time to get 2 shirts before anything close to my size sold out (did end up going up in size though so I could get both shirts in one size). Before I received my purchases I was a bit hesitant to what the fabric was going to be, mainly because the fabric of the original Tucker line is so wonderful; HOWEVER, I was pleasantly surprised. My new purchases came in the mail yesterday (shipping from Target, while free, proved to be a small pain in the ass), and they are really great pieces for work. I like them much better tucked in, because they can appear a little boxy....But for $30 who can complain.

Kudos Target, sorry I doubted your ability to bring fashion to the masses.

Red rover, Red rover,

Please ship these things right over.

Wow, Madwell's really done it again I.M.H.O (in my HUMBLE opinion). I'm loving the army/safari/preppy blend...

And I'd like this to be my new travel outfit. Please ship it to arrive by tomorrow.

Love this outfit...

In the clutch

Kate and I have this game we play when we get new magazines where I fold down the pages of everything I like, and then she goes through and tries to guess what on that page I liked. Point being, I fold down a lot of pages and never give them a second look...well the other day I finally got to tearing some out to look things up online to see if I liked them as much as I did in the mag. Well these clutches by Mar Y Sol were definitely worth it. I think they are adorable as well as being extremely well priced (around $78...), and they would be the perfect summer bag!

Closet swap?

Everyone is familiar with Rebecca Minkoff for her success in handbags...but who knew she had such great personal style? I love how its a mix of things from her own collection, her friends, and then random other pieces from say Target (blue striped shirt in pic 3 is Rodarte for Target). I'd switch closets any day...
