Outfit Of The Day!

14 Dec

Hi everyone! Since I’ve started this blog 9 months ago I have gotten hundreds of emails, comments etc. regarding outfit of the day posts and pictures.  A lot of you like how I do not feature outfit of the day posts and that the focus of this blog is NOT ME and tons of pictures of me me me! However many of you have asked to see more pictures of me and would like me to share outfit of the day posts.  Let me just say that I have always intended this blog to be more about YOU than ME but have come to a compromise that I hope most of you will think is fair.  I will start doing OOTD posts but they will be more like outfit of the week posts……I’ll try to do one OOTD post per week so you can get a peek into my closet without it going overboard.

So…..Here it goes…..my second outfit of the day (actually night) post!  (first one was on instagram) I love my cold Cold rainy day gear!

Outfit Details Umbrella: Target    Grey knit capelet: Forever21   A-line black knit tunic sweater: H&M    Black jeans: J brand      Rain boots: Hunter   Knit wellie socks: Hunter   Bag: Marc Jacobs(Bob’s Memphis trip)  Jewelry: black hair tie on my wrist!!! Haha

Alexander Wang Rocco Bag Review!

28 Nov

Hey guys, I hope you’re doing amazing today. As you all know I did a post on the Alexander Wang Rocco bag with rose gold hardware in early October……I must admit, I  quickly became obsessed!!!!  I ended up caving after about 2 weeks (the fastest I have caved for any handbag) and treated myself to the bag.  Needless to say I LOVE IT and have been wanting to do a review on it and have gotten quite a few requests to do so as well….soooooo today while shooting some pictures for my OOTD on Instagram I took a couple extra shots of the bag to share with you and wanted to talk about a couple of things that I’ve noticed are missing from a lot of other Rocco reviews.

*The bag is beautiful OBVIOUSLY!  * I love the top handles in addition to a shoulder strap although it’s NOT long enough for cross body wear.  * I love the pebbled leather  * I love love love the rose gold hardware, matches a lot of my jewelry, namely my wedding set:) * the rose gold is a very nice tone, not the overpowering ultra cheesy pink shade that some rose gold hardware can have. * heavy-duty and very well made bag* the trademark studded bottom is very cool without being too crazy * the bag has the feel of the LV Speedy with a little more edge

NOW onto the 2 most important points…

1.CON: This bag is HEAVY! I’m talking 4 pounds!!!! EMPTY!  I personally don’t mind it but I know some of you might.

2. PRO: This bag has 2 “secret” pockets outside of the bag……I use one for keys, one for phone & lipstick. I like accessing my phone, keys etc without having to dig around the bottom of the bag.

There you have it…..overall my only con is the weight of the bag, everything else wonderful!!!!!! If you’re on the fence about this bag…..I say go for it!  It will be in your collection for decades to come!

A closer look at the bag….(Retails for $1,000)

Jenna Lyons Named Woman of The Year by Glamour

4 Nov

It is no surprise that super stylish creative director of J.Crew, Jenna Lyons, was named one of Glamour’s women of the year.  The 44-year-old inspiration started as a fashion assistant at J. Crew in 1990, worked her way up the old fashioned way and was named creative director of the mega-brand in 2007.  Myself and many others know J.Crew would NOT be where they are today without Lyons, it’s just a fact.  Not only is she the brains behind the brand, but also their most recognizable model.  Her style is uniquely casual yet polished, she has mastered the balance of masculine and feminine pieces while mixing textures effortlessly like no other. Thick rimmed glasses, middle parted hair and red lips were also a signature part of her look long before the trendy hipster crowds claimed it.  She is a style icon without a doubt, Glamour is spot on with this one!
