Work It, Girl

Photobucket

I must admit I’ve fallen victim to the oversized chambray or denim work shirt. I found mine at my favorite thrift shop (for those locally, the Samaritan Shop in Springdale, I should do a post on how many amazing things I’ve found there but I digress) and I kinda can’t wait for the weather to get chilly enough for me to rock it. I’m thinking it’ll be great with my skinny green cargos. Has anyone else been captivated by this trend?

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

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.

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…
