PS- Leaving today for NYC - Lucky FABB here I come!  Let's just say I didn't under pack - by the size of my suitcase you'd think I was spending a month in Europe, not three days in New York... oops!

 

Two for Tuesday: Madewell Cutoffs

One of my favorite items in my summer wardrobe is a pair of Madewell acid wash cutoffs.  They are distressed, just lose enough, and can be worn with anything.

Here are two examples of how I styled mine this week:

1.  Daytime Shopping

Dorfman Pacific Co. fedora, Madwell sunnies, F21 top, Target bag, Madewell cutoffs.
Doesn't get much easier than this:  no makeup, no jewelry, no shower?  No problem. 

2.  Beachside Dinner

Madewell sunnies (as headband), Shop Peppermint earrings, TJMaxx top,
JCrew belt, Beau ring, a million bracelets, Madewell cutoffs.

What's your favorite wear-with-anything summer staple?

Faux Sho

See what I did there?  "Faux Sho" instead of "Fo Sho" as in:

Why is that so funny?

Anywho, today we're going to be talking about faux leather.  Why?  Because it looks like leather (which we all know makes you look super cool) at a fraction of the price.   And as an added bonus you didn't have to kill any animals to look cute.  So, it saves money and lives - I call that fashion perfection.   

Here are my two favorite faux leather pieces that I plan on wearing to death:

Exhibit A:  Faux Leather Motorcycle Jacket

Buffalo jacket, JCrew necklace, Gap tee, Paige denim, Francescas bag, Madewell sunnies, Franco Sarto booties

Exhibit B:  Faux Leather Leggings

Shop Peppermint earrings, F21 top, Chicnova leggings (under $20 and fantastic),
Michael Kors watch,  Nine West shoes

Now let's have a moment of silence for the cute little critters who became my suede booties and black leather heels.  Oops.  At least they can rest in peace knowing they died in the name of fashion.

How do you feel about faux leather?  Love it?  Hate it?  Don't really care?

Mustard Lovin'

I'm finding that I'm sort of obsessed with the color mustard this fall.  It can be a tricky shade for me to pull off since I'm olive complected, so I need to be careful if I'm going to wear it close to my face.  Pants, tights, and accessories, however, are free game!  I'm really loving my new a.n.a. mustard skinnies!  They add a fun pop of color, plus they tell me I'm pretty and give me a pep talk every time I put them on.

No, really:

Nothing like finding a powerful affirmation in your pants.

Here is how I wore them over the weekend:

a.n.a jeans via JC Penney, Fabianelli boots via Marshalls, Old Navy bag and
chambray blouse,  anthropologie old man sweater,
Francesca's Collection bow earrings

Isn't the butterfly garden at Seneca Park Zoo so pretty?

Butterfly necklace:  Flea Market Girl via Peppermint
Wishbone necklace: c/o Artwalk

Just in case you needed another picture of me standing here and smiling...

By the way, have you seen my new Balla Bling cross bracelet?  I am in love with it and wear it every day.  My balla and Michael Kors have become fast friends.  Aren't they so cute together?

A match made in heaven

How do you feel about mustard?  Love it?  Hate it?  Just sorta meh?  What color are you excited to wear this fall?
