Booty Call

I don't know about you, but I love pairing booties with dresses.

These babies from Target are my go to:

Whether I'm baby shower bound:

Dress & Necklace:  Forever 21
Belt:  Anthropolgie
Booties:  Target

Or pumpkin picking with the fam:

Sunnies:  GAP
Dress:  Lands End Canvas
Booties:  Target
(Coopy is wearing Children's Place and Kmart "Crocs")

Colt is also enjoying the boot trend...

Booties + Dresses = simple, flirty style for an unseasonably warm fall in Western New York.

Have you hopped on the bootie band wagon?  How do you wear yours?

Happy Hump Day!

Hope you're enjoying the double entendre in this post as much as I am.

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!

 

Cobalt, Bordeaux, and Gray

In case you missed yesterday's post with our 2013 family photos, you can check them out here.

Today, I'm sharing a few pictures of moi that were taken for this little old bloggity blog.

The color scheme was cobalt, bordeaux, and gray.  The boys wore matching shirts and jeans, the hubs word a baseball style gray and bordeaux sweater, and I wore this (with these red polka dot pointy toe flats):

Jacket:  Forever 21
Tee:  Old Navy (last season)
Necklace:  Forever 21 (old)
Jeans:  BlueLab via Kouture
Shoes:  Target (old)
Hair:  Shear Ego Salon and Spa (Mandy)

Did you know I'm being re-branded?  Whole new, clean, easy-to-navigate site?  Thinking that calls for a new headshot... Which one is your favorite?

Have a great weekend!

I'll be styling for Fashion Week of Rochester, rocking the Brainery Bazaar, and testing out the spa services at Luxe.  It's going to be a jam packed few days, but can't help but feel lucky to be doing work that I truly love.

Two for Tuesday: Killing It

The 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection may have been a bust... 

(That's my personal opinion - clearly most people disagree since it is sold out almost everywhere...)

But, Target's Shoe Department has been KILLING IT lately.

This summer I walked out of there with three pairs of wedges in one shopping trip!  That is CRAY!

And on Saturday, I walked out of there with not one, but two pairs of boots.  Oh shhhhhhhhh!  I needed them both!

Check them out.  I know you'll understand...

1.  Sam and Libby Booties:

They are fierce.  You should buy them.
Women's shoes are BOGO - plus free shipping over $50

2.  Mossimo Cropped Cowboy Boots

These are super comfy.  You'll probably wan to buy these too.
(Have I mentioned BOGO???!!!!!)

What do you think about Target's shoes lately?

I'd also love to hear your thoughts on the Philip Lim collaboration.  Worth the hype?  Or cheap imitations?

Love ya like I love Target BOGO shoe sales!

PS-  Women's Shoes and Handbags are Buy One, Get One 50% Off - Valid 9/22-9/28

 

From the Ground: What I wore

What do you wear to an eco-friendly fashion show?

Why vegan leather, glasses, and a beanie of course!

Hat:  Forever 21 (similar)
Glasses:  Coach  (similar in black)
Scarf:  Storiarts
Jacket:  Buffalo (similar)
Tee:  Max Studio (TJ Maxx)
Pants:  GAP
Bag:  Kate Spade
Booties:  Target

Actual conversation with my husband during our "photoshoot" (I use the term loosely).

Him:  "You're wearing LEATHER to the GREENTOPIA fashion show?  Someone is going to throw paint on you!"

Me:  "It's pleather."

Him:  "THEY don't know that!"

And that, ladies and gentleman, is one of the many reasons why he is awesome.

I later learned that the cool way to say pleather is "vegan leather."  How chic.  How green.  How devoid of any negative connotations established in the late 80s and early 90s...

PS- Those Target booties are "vegan suede."  Can't say the same for that Kate Spade bag though...

Happy Friday!

Just a Quickie

Hey Kids!

Just a quick one today - been running crazy all week trying to get back on track after vacation.  There just aren't enough hours in the day!

Notebook available at Target.

I wanted to let you all now that I finally joined the rest of the blogging world and am using Passionfruit for my ads/sponsorships.  Check that out here.

Tonight is our 3rd event for the Rochester Blogger Network.  You can get the scoop on that here.

And I'm happy to announce that I am going to be styling runway shows and dressing models for Fashion Week of Rochester!

Annnnnnnd I'm working with Rochester A-List for an exciting #ShopLocal Fall Trends Project.

Lots of great stuff in the works so stay tuned!

xoxo

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?

Want Easy Summer Style?

Slap on a sundress!

It's one piece, therefore a no-brainer.

It's cool.  (Feel the breeze baby!)

And it can be dressed up or down:  think flip flops/flats vs. wedges/heels.

Take exhibit A: (actually it's the only exhibit - but just go with it)

Note:  If you follow me on instagram, you'll know that this outfit is SOOOOO 2 1/2 weeks ago.  Deal.

Styling is pretty much non existent here...

Dress + sunnies + wedges + jewelry = easy summer style.

I didn't even do my hair!  Although I should thank the Bumble and Bumble Surf Collection for my beachy waves - well, them and the actual beach - that whole salty sea air definitely helps the cause...

When I run out of poses, I just start looking random places - like a crack in the boardwalk...

Or no where in particular...

Ah blogger problems.

The details:  Dress is Old Navy.  Wedges from Target.  Madewell sunnies.  Miscellaneous jewelry.

What about you?  What's your idea of easy, summer style?

If you don't check back here tomorrow (which you totally should - I'll be wearing something a tad ridiculous) have a great 4th of July weekend and be safe!

xoxo

Two for Tuesday: One Top Two Looks

I am loving this shear Converse top that I got at Target this spring.  Here are two ways I've worn it.

1.  With boyfriend jeans and wedges:

Wavy hair, don't care.

That's my cool kid/tough girl face.  It needs work.

2.  With mint skinnies and wedges.

Ballerina bun.  Dirty hair, don't care.

Hey look, it's me standing pigeon toed...something different for your Tuesday...

Hope your week is off to a fabulous start, 

xoxo

Jenny

PS-  Sometimes I randomly break out into song int he middle of a shoot.  It's fine...

High on Life
