What are you doing New Year's Eve?

Whatever it is, may I suggest you do it in this 3.1 Phillip Lim jaw-dropper that's on sale for only $272. It's a Look-At-Me color in a Modern Mad Men cut. What's not to love?

Get it before it's gone right here!

Baby's First Fedora

I am generally not a trendy person. I'd describe my look as more classic with some edge (or at least trying to be) and I hate to buy stuff that will go out of style with the season. I'm sure you've seen fedoras EVERYWHERE because lord knows I have, and I've been trying to fight it.

However - while strolling through Nolita this weekend I stumbled upon this unique gem from a street vendor specializing in hats. The top is wool lace, it has a fabric band and a tweed brim. I've never seen another like it. I also thought the material would take it into fall and winter. I didn't want to get a straw one and put it away in 30 days. I really like it, but it definitely tested my confidence walking around with it this morning. I kept worrying that I looked stupid, but that's stupid. This is New York, I can get away with (fashion) murder.

Would love any and all opinions on this trend and this hat.

Right now I'm going to put it on and head to lunch. Eek!

Chinolicious!

Okay...I know the Chinos have caused hot debate on this site in the past, but I think I have finally learned how to make them work. I really like my outfit today. The colors feel on trend for "Camo" and it just feels put together. You may also notice I am trying to rock a fedora. It's my first and will get it's own post, but would love your opinions.

Chinos:Banana Republic, $60
Top: Mossimo for Target,$20

Monday - Evening for Day.

Took Saturday's top and tried to re-do it for day. Added a gold belt and went with brown shoes. Also tried a different shape of jean. These bootcut seem to balance the top better, but I think the top is pretty blousy, so it's always going to me look a little fuller. I still love it though, and people do compliment it so I'm glad I bought it.

Purple Top: Anthropologie, $58
Jeans: Hudson, $176
Gold Belt: Express, $15
Brown Kitten Heels: Frye, $168

I have to say, I only made a few changes, but I think it looks much better than the way I styled it Saturday. What Do you think?

Polka Dots!!!

This dress is one of my new Anthropologie purchases and I have ZERO buyer's remorse. I love it. It's so me, I feel great today. And with the classic/retro shape it'll never be "out". Added pops of color - cardigan is just for my freezing office - but think it would look classy with all black elements too. Winner!!!

Happy Day - Happy Outfit!

Today was a rainy ass day

I still tried not to totally phone it in, even though I just wanted to throw on a trash bag and some wellies and call it a day.

Hudson Jeans,$176
BCBG Sweater, $138
Cole Haan Ballets, $138
Silence + Noise Blazer, $80

Tried a new pose on the couch, which makes this outfit 17% cuter, in my humble opinion.

If I had a million dollars....

I would live in Louis Vuitton.

Feels like Fall Today.

With grey skies and a high of only 69, I pulled out the jeans today. Simple outfit, but flattering and cute in my opinion. My favorite part is the gold necklace I got at Banana Republic. They really rock it on the costume jewelry,

Tunic: Kimichi Blue at Urban Outfitters,$78 HA - they say it's a dress!
Layering Tank: The Limited, $25
Skinny Jeans, Banana Republic, $80
Necklace, Banana Republic, $50
Ballet Flats: Cole Haan, $138

I'm hoping it will warm up this week so I can show off some of my new Anthropologie purchases!!!
