Just some Saturday outfit inspo featuring Alexander Wang (my fav), Philip Lim, Markus Lupfer and some McQueen. Oh, and Vince, coming through with the amazing wool coat. I've had this thing with printed pants and sweaters and I just can't seem to figure out why. Oh, and sequin jackets, which probably would <i>not </i>have looked good with anything in this post. HAPPY WEEKEND!<br />
<br />
P.S I can't wait to start featuring outfit posts for you guys! Sometime after the new year considering a camera is on my Christmas list!<br />

Seriously, though. The perfect combination of classic, chic and feminine with tiny touches of edge. Went through entire collections and honestly couldn't just fine ONE or SOME pieces that I'd want to fill my closet with. I honestly want all of them. His retro silhouettes tie perfectly in with the modern color palette and design, making you look fashionable and effortless anywhere you go. Really feeling the poncho jacket with the oxblood leather leggings. Aaaaand also probably paired with the snake skin booties. I'm dying here, dying, dying..dead.</div>

Browsing through Net-a-porter, I came across some clutches that I fell in love with, and to no surprise--they were all rectangular, envelope, and black. It's a sad sight to see a shopping cart only filled with things that all look the same.

Okay- Thanksgiving is over, we're all bloated and tryptophan high, so now I can start listening to Christmas music and shoving my gift ideas and wish lists down your throats. (With lots and lots of holiday spirit, of course). Judge me--but I'm praying for no snow..just, no. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But anywho- GUYS! Eh-hem...this way you grandfathers, boyfriends, uncles, newlyweds, brothers, what have you..READ THIS! I conjured up a few things that I think could make the perfect Christmas gift without having to entirely know the women you're buying for at all. Although it makes it much more special..do men even think that way? From pricey to not-so-pricey to burning-a-hole-in-your-wallet, whomever you're buying for will surely feel loved. P.S - I'll let you take <i>allll </i>the credit. </div>

Fun colors, out of this world inspirations and better yet, a relationship with Karl Lagerfeld!<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">With that being said, I'm happy to announce that the two (Karl & Shu Uemura) teamed up on a beautiful cosmetics line just in time for the holidays! And what better but a special promotion? </span><br />

I don't even care if it's November and everyone is complaining about the start of Christmas music being played, I'm excited for the holidays. I went shopping last night and have surprisingly been finding more and more glittery things in stores in preparation for Christmas and New Year's, so I figured I'd once again share my insight on what I'm hoping to wear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It all starts with a peplum. The rest is right in front of you. Hope this inspires!</div>

It truly is so effortless. I used to be such a plaid hater, I almost feel guilty! Any fashion lover knows the effects of a good blazer in any wardrobe, but who would have thought plaid? I'm working on finding one for myself so I can throw it over one of my favorite Chaser T's and play around with the trend. </div>

More like CHRISTMAS wish list..I sure know how to dream big. Maybe I will turn this into my Christmas list, hmph? Anyway, just a few of the things I'm loving so short into November. Definitely a lot of key pieces and items. I smelt that Bond No. 9 candle the other day, and when I did- wooow. It's not too strong but definitely gives your entire room a scent. Very sophisticated and somewhat masculine scent as well. Loving the Smythson 'Inspiration And Ideas' notebook I found on Pinterest..perfect for me considering I always have ideas and nowhere to write them down. The Zara bucket bag, Helmut Lang sweater and rag & bone jeans kinda speak for themselves, don't they? Also--can't wait to get that fedora hat on my hands. You can bet I wear it everyday after!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Found it necessary to <i>have </i>to do a post on these Helmut Lang <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/331332" target="_blank">tapered leather pants</a>. They're a little bit of a tough piece to style, but once you get the idea they can become a key piece in your wardrobe.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First things first and that's dressing these babies <u>down.</u> Seems impossible when first looking at them, right? Wrong. Who knew a Rag & Bone sweater, a beanie and some Converse could go such a long way? Stick with cool, similar colors with this one. Focusing so much on accessories is unnecessary, you're going for a laid back look. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 600px;">
<div style="position: relative;">
<a href="http://www.polyvore.com/fashion_impossible_leather_tapered_pants/set?.embedder=730738&.svc=copypaste&id=62867298" target="_blank"><img alt="The Fashion Impossible: Leather (tapered) pants" border="0" height="834" src="http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/aFT9YA7RE0Tm9xPxK08Ug/cid/62867298/id/Bl7zt41BQFifaL3oC50Lgw/size/c600x834.jpg" title="The Fashion Impossible: Leather (tapered) pants" width="600" /></a><br />
<br />
And then there's the fun part: dressing it up. I didn't go to far or too crazy, because this is a look you can wear to the office or out for dinner & drinks. If you wanted to do something more dressy and edgy, add a structured blazer and a bold statement necklace, then ditch the hat. Is it obvious that I have an obsession with hats? I chose a Preen silk and wool blouse, Saint Laurent ankle strap pumps (to d.i.e for), your obvious 3.1 Phillip Lim tote, and, well, that's it. Doesn't it seem a lot easier than any of us thought? </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Am I posting too late on this trend? Because I don't care, I'm obsessed. Last fall truly sparked my interest in ankle booties when I purchased my first real pair by Jeffery Campbell (so old I can't even link), and I wore them into the ground. So, because my love for those booties forced them to be displayed nicely on my shoe rack, I figured I'd conjure up something nice and let you all know what I truly am DROOLING over for ankle booties.</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.1 Phillip Lim makes my heart melt with those gold metallic 'Peggy' booties. A low dose of a futuristic feel not too hard to dress up or down. Balenciaga comes through with the basic, classic black brogue bootie that will sufficiently burn a hole so big in your wallet it will be non-existent. While you're at it, head over to Barney's and play with Chloe, and, well, Susan. This classic studded bootie comes in 3 different colors and has a modern shape and style everyone wants a piece of.</div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And then comes Zara and Mango for the win. They're a given and I truly don't feel the need to explain, but, if you haven't just yet doused in shoe heaven, <a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category/us/en/zara-us-W2012/288001/Ankle%2Bboots" target="_blank">I might as well welcome you to the dark side. </a></div>

<br /></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
P.S I've added several new booties to my collection this fall so I will definitely have outfit posts to come. xx</div>

Why is it that I'm always so inspired on <i>Thursdays? </i>I think I've found a new favorite day of the week.<br />
Happy <a href="http://fashionsnightout.com/" target="_blank">FNO</a>! Unfortunately attendance won't be deemed for I this year, but next year expect me running up and down 5th Ave. In accordance, my outfit is FNO ready. Topshop drop waist dress, booties, a statement Isabel Marant bag. Where is the struggle? My go to pieces are Karen Walker sunnies and of course a leather moto vest. Best ways to finish your outfit perfectly.<br />
<br />
Does anyone want me to do any posts on NYFW? If so comment on designers you'd like me to fish the story out of!</div>

Out & about on a Sunday calls for a light T shirt and a denim jacket to play these loud jeans down a notch. Followed with another favorite trend- chelsea boots. Trendy and comfy.</div>

<br />
Or just on a nice late September stroll through Central Park.<br />
<br />
We are now saying si-a-freakin'-nara to summer after this long weekend filled with Labor Day sales and one last trip to the beach. Not to mention, bye bye bennies. (One fine perk of living on the Jersey Shore). But back to what was originally important, how are you going to continue to put your favorite summer dresses to good use before they <i>really </i>have to collect dust in the back of your closet for 6 months?<br />
<br />
Simple for the most part. I chose this mustard colored <a href="http://www.oneteaspoon.com.au/Almost-Innocent-Dress.aspx?p51" target="_blank">One Teaspoon</a> dress because it's simple and probably the most flattering dress on anyone who puts it on. Throw on your favorite utility jacket and booties. Slouchy, structured, even wedge sneakers do the trick. I chose to add a floral scarf just because mixing prints is still a trend <i>and </i>I'm not entirely ready to say goodbye to summer in full. Gold cuff and metallic satchel on arm and you're just about ready aside from your top-knot and maybe a red lip?<br />
<br />
<b>Fall, we welcome you.</b><br />

So basically, without the drawn out sartorial explanation- here are the e-cards that <i>technically </i>sum up just about what goes through my brain half the time. Minus the constant thoughts about Starbucks, Miley Cyrus and Alexander Wang.</div>

Materialistically speaking. Like working to become a fashion-icon-blogger or a fashion designer, a chief fire fighter or a brand ambassador, those are things to work for. Real, felt ambition verses only working 40+ hours a week to feed a Jimmy Choo obsession or to pay an electric bill. Just a thought.<br />

The difference? Well, $500 to say the least. Don't get me wrong- Isabel and this wedge sneaker is a legend of a trend and the original in my eyes-- but if you're looking to dress trendy on a dime, why not go Steve Madden? That way you can afford every color, and then save your change in a bucket for your trustee Isabel Marant's. A definite classic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know if it's just me but I hope this trend is one to stay. Because for one, I'm looking to invest big time. And second, I like my robot feet. Though my boyfriend, father, and people on the street look at me like I have 5 heads...I can still moon walk a lot better then they can. Isabel Marant Bekett's or not.</div>
