Yay it's sunny today!

Whitney Port

Like everyone else I too watch The Hills. In my opinion it's not as good without LC and Whitney, but that's for another day. Today I want to focus on Whitney, the star of her own spin-off show The City. On last week's episode we saw that she is really interested in designing, and her boss (crazy Kelly) is giving her the avenue to seriously explore it. Well now she has looks not only sketched out on paper, but cut and sewn and ready to wear. She actually has some chic pieces in her Fall 2009 line that are very wearable. Her classic trench coat is darling, the white blazer with the bowtie sash is so adorable, I love her version of the bf jacket trimmed in gold thread, the wrap bow skirt, just to name a few. Her Spring 2010 collection is to be shown soon. Go to WhitneyEve.com to see for yourself!

Wrap it up

I am obsessed with scarves. My coat closet is spilling over with them and guess what?... I want more! I saw this one on a woman on CurrentTV that I just adore. Lipstick red with big bold black flowers, I must find this.

New bag

I'm loving this oversized satchel from Urban Outfitters. But is $68 too much to pay for a "non-designer" faux leather bag or am I being snooty because LVs aren't printed all over the bag? I also love the fact that the long straps are detachable and I can wear the bag up on my shoulder. For faux, the leather is so soft and supple too.

On sale for $104 at Express

I'm in love!

Trick or Treat

I was looking in my closet the other day just to see what I had in there that I'd forgotten about. I found the best thing ever - a burnt orange boyfriend jacket by Benetton! I was so excited for the first five minutes of finding this piece in my closet, but after that baffled by what to wear with it. How do you wear orange and not look like Halloween (and I don't care that the occasion is around the corner)? With that said I feel that black paired with this jacket is instantly ruled out. I'm thinking white, ivory, tan, brown... Am I being too narrow minded? What other colors would work with this bright burnt orange bf jacket?

DVF

I am absolutely loving this Asher dress by Diane von Furstenberg. Animal print is everywhere, and this dress is surprisingly on sale at ShopBop for $256. I love the detail of the short kimono sleeve and the draped back. Ooh and imagine this dress belted, bananas!

I need this

I need this long tank-tee and the elbow length gloves at Twelve by Twelve. I can't find it for sale anywhere on their website though, just in their lookbook. How dare they tease me like this.

Boss lady

Yesterday my store manager came in with the hottest shoes so I had to photograph them. They're Steven's and she bought them in black and gray! Here are the black pair. I am so loving this outter zipper trend.

A lot of catching up to do

Looks like I'll continue to have a busy weekend. Ha not from working or getting out doing something fun, but from reading issue after issue of my fashion magazines that have been oh so neglected by me. Let's face it, not even half of this stack will get read this weekend.

Coat Collector

I love coats. I personally own around 20 coats and jackets and I still cannot get enough. Right now I'm obsessed with the military style coat or jacket. I've seen that style at only a few places though so I'm not sure if it's on trend, but Victoria's Secret has two that I'm dying over. Not to mention VC is selling theirs for less than $200. I know I do not need yet another coat especially a wool one, but at this price it's such a steal.

It's pouring here

NPH

I love Neil Patrick Harris! He's the reason I love those two White Castle movies and he's the reason I watched the Emmy's last night. Numerous times throughout the night we heard from his peers what an awesome job he's doing hosting, and I couldn't agree more. Also, did you know he was a producer for this year's Emmy's? How cool is that. Oh and how great was his opening number! I just love Neil Patrick Harris.

Inspiration

Victoria Beckham looks as beautiful as ever here at a taping for American Idol in August. Her pixie haircut has grown out into my new inspired haircut. Let the growing out begin!

Adequate replacement?

I found this really cute Marc by Marc Jacobs softy tobo bag that reminded me a lot of my newly obsessed over-priced mahina LV bag. At a fraction of the cost at $400, is this an adequate replacement? Should I settle to carry this tobo bag on my arm just to continue to fantasize about Mahina and what could have been? I mean no disrespect to Marc Jacobs, anyone who knows me knows I absolutely love Marc Jacobs... besides MJ designs for LV so it's a win-win for him. This tobo bag only comes in white and fuchsia, which are not colors I'm looking for in a bag right now anyway.
