Sweater Envy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Preppy, purposeful, popular...All words that come to mind when I think of the perfect fall wardrobe staple...The Cardigan Sweater!!! I was totally inspired after checking out looks "We're Loving" in the August issue o

f InStyle! Beyonce is totally rocking an all white look, paired with a gray and black Missoni cardigan(pg. 67)! The boyfriend look continues for fall with preppy, long, lengthy, Cardigans! This men's wear inspired trend is a perfect accent to a summer sleeveless dress or blouse, as the weather begins to take a shift(although, we have had a pretty mild summer, hard to imagine fall coming so soon). Pair your perfect cardigan with a blazer(continues to be big for fall 09) for a layered look or punch up a blousey, tee for another look! Go for a solid look or striped; belted or buttoned. So many options to be had with one of my favorite fall additions!

Looks that I'm loving can be found a

t my favs, Anthro, Shopbop, and the First Lady's fav, JCrew.

For more economically friendly finds for the cardigan sweater, try American Apparel and Forever21! Oh and don't forget Nordstrom, where you might still find a few looks on sale as a part of the anniversary sale(fall preview). No need to be envious, the options are unlimited!!! Fall is on its way!!! Be ready!

Live Long and Sweater Well!!!!!!!!!!!!

Playing the Right Card's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so the weather outside is not so delightful, but you're ready to toss that burly winter coat and trade it in for something lighter! I can totally relate! You just got your favorite, figure flattering, DVF wrap dress out of the cleaners and its all set to be flaunted, but you need a light little number to keep your arms toasty? Try a Cardigan!!! Oh, not your grandfather's, old-school cardigan (those are pretty are hot too), but a fun, frilly, ornate, stylish, little number!!! Cardigans are the perfect alternative to a heavy winter coat and are perfect for layering(check out the cute young lady above). They are a great transition piece from winter to spring and work wonders for those summer nights out in the chilly movie theater! Cardigans can be very versatile...From classic Jcrew numbers, to embellished, fun-filled ones from Anthropologie. I even spied some great, inexpensive Card's at good ol' Forever21!!!!! They can be worn with a simple pair of skinny or wide-legged jeans or over the perfect summer frock! Don't think Mr. Rogers, but Carrie Bradshaw chic...You are sure to have a winning hand!!!!!
