Love this Look: New Monochromatic

Recently discovered Greg Kessler’s blog – Go Backstage and am loving the candid, behind-the-scenes photos. I absolutely love this look. It’s the combination of different colors within the same palette, from shoes to hair.

Getting Chills

Ice Tray (I really need one and cannot find one anywhere!)

There was finally a slight chill in the air this morning when I left for work! So, I’m getting chills thinking about the delights of Autumn while trying to ignore the inevitable disappointments like earlier sunsets, frigid cold and…Winter. Plus, Shop-o-matic (by NYMag) has released a 100 Reasons to Get Excited for Fall edition.  Of course I have some favorites. Find all of them here.

I can always use another wine stopper…

Decanter and sipping glasses for cold nights by the fire

I <3 Cheese

As I said here, I’m digging skinny cargo trend, the above are from Old Navy

The must-have accessory for dance parties: iPhone speakers

Lovely little dress from H&M

$72 cut-out dress from Fred Flare. I. Want. It.

Suede Stillettos. Mmmmm.

Gargoyle rings!

Chambray shirt. I have a vintage work shirt that I can’t wait to bust out.

Dish drainer. For those that don’t have a dishwasher, like me.

Biker leggings. Umm. I must say I dig on these. This version is by Tory Burch and is above my current price point for pants I will only occasionally wear…but I will be looking for knock-offs…oh yes, I will.

Sauce pot. Getting hungry now. “Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah” is for some reason playing in my head…

Tall boot by Cole Haan, again out of my price point but I am equally excited to wear my less expensive, less chic tall boots.

I’m dying over this fuschia sofa from Ikea. Sooo delicious! And only $200 more than the Cole Haan boots!

Leopard scarf. I’m in.

Detachable Ruffle Collar. Actually detachable collars in general. I will be in search.

As previously stated here, I’m a bootie-hound!

Shearling jacket. Or in my case faux-shearling jacket.

Skinny Cargos

I just got a look-alike pair to the above skinny olive cargos and I couldn’t be more excited! I found them for $14.99 at TJ Maxx but apparently Forever21 also has them, although I couldn’t find them online.

I have a serious crush on Natalia Vodianova, the stunning, effervescent, versatile, Russian-model, mother of three, princess beauty. See more at Elle UK’s style file.

Skirting the Issue

antonio-b2

I’m ashamed to admit that I watched the season premiere of Keeping up with the Kardashians on Sunday. I’m usually against Kim’s style choices for one reason (she wears too much make-up) or another (her clothes are too tight) but Sunday, I really liked the outfit she wore for her house party. I couldn’t find a photo of it but here is the link. She wore a structured top with a short full skirt. It got me in the mood for skirts and I’ve found some cute ones, all under $100 of course…
