Fall Must Haves 1: Animal Print Handbags

Loving all the animal prints out this fall.  A great way to incorporate this trend is a handbag.  You get the feel of the trend without over doing it. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars for this either...

Here are a couple of my favorites right now.

Fall Fashion Must Haves 2: Colored Jeans

I am loving all the colored jeans for the fall. I think they are a must! I love the colors Joe's Jeans have but they're some other good brands out there too.  Check out J Brand, Forever 21 and Kut.

Fall 2011 Must Haves 3: A Shoe That Glitters

I know 3 Louboutins but Dang!!! 

They are so pretty how can a girl resist ;)  

Happy Fall Shoe Shopping! xoxo

Fur or Faux?

I am trying to get the kinks outs...I am new to Polyvore (my new favorite way to gather images on the web) and it is posting my photos without me writing the text for my blog ;(  So bear with me while I get it all figured out.

Anyways...next on my top 5 list for must have fashion items in your closet this fall is...Fur!  It is everywhere right now.  You can spend a bazillion dollars, you can buy vintage pieces (which is always a blast), or you can even hit up your local Forever 21 for some cheap but fun, faux.

Personally I love the vests and I am loving the ones over at 525 America!

Happy Furring or Fauxing.

Fall 2011 Must Haves: Sequin Blazer

I was in San Fran this weekend visiting my best friend from college and had a little time to do some shopping. I had a chance to compile my 5 "must haves" for my fall wardrobe and wanted to share.  My top pick is definitely a Sequined Blazer.  I think all of these would look great with a pair of black tuxedo pants or even a pair of jeans.  My favorite one is by Zadig & Voltaire!

Do you have a must have for the fall...Love to know what it is ;)

Cocktail Rings

I am a lover of color and I am a lover of jewels so

I love cocktail rings.

I think they add a pop to any outfit you wear.

Heres a few I have found lately that caught my eye!

They say emerald is hot for the fall ;)

Entertaining: Neiman Marcus Syle

I received Neiman's "Gifts & Gets" magazine this week and in true NM style it has some of the cutest personalized entertaining supplies I have seen in a long time. Check them out.  I am thinking I'm gonna order the cups, plates and drink stirrers!  Great for hostess gifts too!

Crazies for Missoni

I called my Mom this morning and the first thing I said was "What do you hear?"  She said "Quite."  Yup, we are getting back into a routine.  Lily started Kindergarten  (time flies) and CS started PS two days a week.  What are the "Little Buddy and I gonna do with all our free time?

Get back to blogging, organize my home and life, cook more, plan my BFF's bach party, see my friends more...It will be nice.

So I went to Target for the crazy, website crashing Missoni debut...Umm....seemed like all the crazies were out (I guess I was one of them).  I have never seen anything like it.  I saw this one couple, with I am not kidding you, 5 shopping carts of stuff and then I saw them packing their car full and the only room they had left were the driver and passengers seats.  I almost asked if I could take their pic but I got a little shy.

The even funnier thing was I was there early the next day (bc I had buyers remorse and took some of my purchases back) and they were there again...sprinting into the store!

Well by that time, they were sprinting for nothing bc it was all gone. 

By the time I got there at 10 am the first day it was all gone.  All I wanted was a pillow.  No such luck.  Next time!

Good for Target.  Good for Ebay.  Good for the US Ecomony ;)

Crazy for Neon

I was on the hunt for the perfect neon tank top to add a pop of color under a conservation black and white top I have and while I was scouring the Internet for fabulous neon products I found this pic of Gwen Steffani and got a little side tracked.

I have actually seen GS in person.

I saw her in my pediatricians office. Yup, crazy right!  I was waiting for my little one to get shots and I looked up and she walked in the door with her son.  I almost fell out of the chair. I tried to be cool and not stare but it was hard.  She is extremely pretty, dressed super hip and had her signature red lipstick on ;)  I think this pic gives her justice.

Any who back to neon...I am still on the quest for the perfect neon tank but I did find some other cools things.  See my Polyvore Set below ;)
