pleasantly surprised

ever since my graduation from high school, i can probably count on one hand how many times i have shopped in american eagle outfitters. their clothing is very youthful and i felt like i had grown out of their style. well, after recently seeing some of their pieces featured on my fav blogs and doing a little more investigating, i was pleasantly surprised with what i saw. although collectively i am still not loving their entire collection(it still is very youthful, they have some great items! here is what i found and everything is super affordable.

all things gingham

loving this black and white combo...


theory shorts-$67.20


nordstrom-$29.90

do you dare?

while visting the big apple last week, i saw this recent oxford trend everywhere. i mean, everywhere. people seem to be either totally loving this trend, or want to stay far far away. at the present moment, i am wanting to stay far away. my 5'9 frame and size 9 feet just do not go with oxfords. would you wear them??

what's on my mind...

loving the crisp morning and evening fall air....


reading new inspiration...


a classic, autumn, effortless wardrobe...


awaiting my newly ordered bedroom furniture!

yes, im obsessed

i can't even begin to describe how obsessed i am with bill and giuliana rancic. i love them, love their show, love their relationship. in college while doing some work for fox news, i met giuliana and she is just as cool in person as she is on tv. their new show just started up again and i love watching their relationship unfold as much as i love anticipating seeing what she is going to wear every week. i wish we were friends. is that weird?

the big purchase

this weekend i was lucky enough to enjoy the big city of nyc, and boy did i enjoy myself! the friends, food, and fashion are what keep me coming back year after year and I can not stay away!

i have been on a man hunt for years looking for the perfect leather jacket and i have finally found the one! it is gorgeous with buttery smooth leather, an asymmetrical zipper, and extra big collar. i hit the jackpot!! it is by veda, and aj has informed me i will probably be buried in it because i have to keep it forever! ahhh, its perfect!



i also found these great boots by steven which i love. really rough leather and super comfy for all fall and winter long.

nothing makes me more excited..

than a trip to new york! i mean, nothing!! a dear friend of mine, danielle, and i are heading to the big city today and i could not be more excited!! i was not planning on going to ny this fall since i have already been once this year, but who was i kidding? i can not get enough of it! so off we go in hopes of eating fantastic food, buying fabulous clothes, and of course, seeing my favorite friend in the whole entire world! :)

im really really

wanting this jacket from bcbg. and, it just went on sale! it's as if it was meant to be and the fashion gods are trying to tell me something! i have been looking for a fab leather jacket for about, well ever. and, i am loving this one. i love the color, the shape, and the missing hardware. um...what is aj going to say...



while browsing bcbg i also found these which are obviously pretty fabulous as well!

br on sale

that picture has nothing to do with this post, i just like it.

anyways, i just got an email from our local banana republic that tomorrow only all sale items are going an additional 40% which is obviously, a pretty good deal! if anyone is wondering, i will be heading there with bells on during my lunch break. happy shopping!

could you do it?

i have some very exciting trips coming up that i am currently mentally packing for. but, every now and then i am really in need of some help with packing and new purchases. don't get me wrong, living with a boy is fun the majority of the time, but when i need fashion advice, he just can not stay focused. usually, after a shopping adventure i will have a "fashion show" and prance around the house in all the goodies i found. while he thinks this is comical, he provides no actual help.

well, today i came home with a big purchase. black boots which come right up to my knee cap. like any normal male, aj panicked, asked what the return policy was, and insisted they be returned tomorrow.

but, what does he really know anyway? um...what do you think?? all boots are from piperlime.com.

lc's latest

so today lauren conrad had 2 new books released, 'sugar and spice' and 'lauren conrad style guide.' i'm not to interested in reading the first, but her book about style has me slightly intrigued. i love love the way she dresses and think she is always classic chic. i don't know, maybe i will just scan through it during my next visit to barnes and nobles. check her book tour schedule to see if she will be stopping in your city for her next signing!

what i found this weekend

while the husband was away this weekend, i thought it was only appropriate to do what i do best. shop! here are some of my favorite finds from the weekend. arhh, monday work starts so soon.


korto momolu cluster necklace, dillards


gianni bini, cross body bag
(this picture does not do this bag justice. it is fabulous with a long, gold chain that crosses over your body. and, it's only $99!)
