(My outfit yesterday was a repeat and I wanted to eat my cheeseburger while it was still hot, so no pics. But the cheeseburger was amazing, so I’m sure you understand. Instead I’m going to blog about what I did last night) Recently I saw a few Golden Snitch necklaces on Etsy and I thought that they were really cute! I thought “hey, I want one of those” but I also thought “dude, I have wings, and I have brass balls!

I’ve recently came across these Rainbow colored heels by Brian Atwood and had to pause. Though I totally love Brian Atwood’s apparel line, I’m not too sure if I love these shoes just as much… I keep asking myself, “can I pull off rainbow iridescent heels”? Aaahh? Not so sure! Not to mention these colorful babies are $460 ! Thank goodness they’re way out of my budget, but even if they anywhere near affordable I’m not so sure I’d even purchase a pair.

Earlier this week Lauren (my fabulous assistant and fellow fashionista) got to try out a pair of jeans and now it’s my turn… I took out two different pairs of Vanity jeans for test drive and I have to say that I’m quite impressed with the results! I look for three things when it comes to jeans: Fit, Wash and Comfort. No matter how good they make my butt look, I’m not buying them unless they feel like I want to live in them for days!!

So while this may be totally depressing, I am starting to think about the upcoming season and nothing gets my heart racing like new boots! They’re my favorite accessory to the Fall I’m always on the lookout for a new pair to add to my embarrassingly large collection! I typically buy my boots on EBAY for two reasons…first, they’re cheap and second, they had better boots back in the 70’s and I’m a total sucker for vintage!

I was working on a story at South Moon Under last Friday when I came across this adorable printed romper by Collective Concepts and I had to have it! I’ve seen many of Hollywood’s starlets sporting them on the red carpet (hello Blake Lively !) and been intrigued by how great they make them look! Now I know I said I wouldn’t wear a romper of the silky/PJ-like variety, but I just couldn’t say no to this one …I love all the ruffles, the crazy print and the fit!

As I was looking online today for a structured/cropped pants and I came across New York and Company. They are a great alternative to the somewhat overpriced Limited stores. There overall selection is very business casual with a modern touch. I found two styles that were exactly what I was searching for, the ankle and black tapered pants. My purchase would total under $25.

So while Sienna Miller might have questionable morals, this girl does not have questionable style! She always brings a little bit of the unexpected to all of her outfits and this simple, yet chic look at the Berlin premiere of GI Joe was no exception. I am totally digging the high-waist tapered trousers and while I’m not sure I’m quite tall enough to pull them off, this is a nice upgrade to the classic black pant and I can see this working for a lot of women!

OK girls, so I know you might love your Havaianas for the beach, but for the sidewalk why not try on something with a little more style? While I usually opt for my go-to gladiators, sometimes I just want to slip into a shoe without having to buckle straps and that’s why having a dressier flip-flop is super important. Look for luxe details like a great leather sole or a patent strap.

These covers come in a rainbow of colors and with options for a custom monogram or a cool cutout design, they are the latest and greatest in iPhone accessories! They’re not exactly cheap with prices going up to $108 for a custom design, but since you saved so much on that new iPhone, it might just be a good buy!

I tried these on at my local Nordstrom (just for fun of course) and dreamed of all the outfit possibilities and occasions that would be made more special by simply wearing these sunny gladiators on my feet…but all good things must come to an end and I quickly gave the $800 shoes back to the salesperson.

Do you have any ideas on where to find a nice quality, super chic tuxedo jacket to add to my wardrobe? Thank! Kaley. Hi Kaley, I must say that I am super into the blazer look as well.

This outfit was not my first thought this morning. I orginally was channeling an idea I saw on the blog, Jen Loves Kev ( [link] ), but thought my version was a little too casual for the office (I think I am going to wear it this weekend though). Since I was running late this morning (no surprise there), i needed to go for wardrobe staple of mine. i chose my vintage green linen skirt (re-dyed myself), a periwinkle blue tee and I tied it all together with a vintage white belt that i scored for $2

Then, this morning while frantically searching for something to wear, I discovered it just waiting for me to dress it up and put it on. Thank Kira, you are a life-savor!! I decided to play on the Safari theme that was big this season and pair the dress with brown high-heel sandals.

It took me a while to really figure out how I wanted to style this top, but I am glad I took the time to get it right. I knew I wanted a black shrug to make it work for the office, but I am not really shopping for new clothes right now, so I was looking at thrift stores and not finding what I needed. But last Saturday, Lara sent Nathan home with a couple of sweaters she was no longer interested in and this perfect shrug was one of them!
