Mini-Me-Satchels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's hot in fall handbags??? The mini- satchel, of course!! Cross the body or let it hang on your side, whichever look you prefer, you will be quite the lady while doing so! This dainty accessory is a must have for a dinner out or Saturday shopping! It's fun, flirty, and functional--you would be surprised at all you can fit into such a small space and your shoulder and back will thank you later, for not weighing them down. Don't get me wrong, I still love my over sized handbags, one can never go wrong with a full-sized satchel or hobo bag, but for a quick, on the go bag--try a mini satchel!!! If you're feeling like a splurge, treat yourself to a classic Chanel. If you're a fashionista on a budget, like most of us are try this , this or this...Options are unlimited!!!!

Fun In Fleece!!!!!!!!

I know. I know. Fleece equals 7th grade gym class: plain sweatpants and your school's logo tee! Well, with all the snow we have had on the East Coast, I can't help but think of all things fluffy and white. Not to mention, staying warm and cozy! Fleece Dressing bridges the two together quite nicely! As I have mentioned, I am all about comfort dressing these days(having a 16 month old an all), but still fashionable!!! The two definitely go hand in hand, in my world! With that said, let's check out some great Fleece looks...First up, at the Gap, is this great fleece blazer! It packs comfort, quality, and chic-ness, for under $60 bucks! Next up, another great fleece find from Intermix: Metallic Fleece Motorcycle Jacket, chic and oh so fashion forward! Ooh, I'm also loving this oversized fleece, jeweled sweatshirt by Gryphon; it will look great with leggings and booties! Lastly, and my favorite take on the traditional "jogging suit"...the fleece jumpsuit by Juicy Couture! Comfy and Cute!!!! This so isn't your 7th grade gym class! It's Fun in Fleece!!! If only, gym class could be so fabulous!!!

Live Long and Have Fun In Fleece!!!!!!!

She's Got Leg-Ins!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again, denim has been revamped! For all the ladies who aren't quite sure how to rock the skinny jeans, try on the denim legging! Much easier to find a fit, so that makes them much easier to wear; not to mention the denim legging is much more affordable, in some cases! Here are two ways to showcase those Legs! One, try a true denim legging, like these from one of my favorite denim brands, Joe's. This legging features a dark rinse and ankle zips, which really gives off the appearance of a skinny jean, but much more flattering without back or side pockets and it retails for $78 bucks! How do you say steal? Try them on with a cut bootie and oversized sweater and you are ready to strut your stuff! For another play on the leggy legging, try a faux denim legging, by Daddy Long Legs Leggings, available for $38 at Bloomindale's! These are another fav! I love pairing mine with a slouchy tee, blazer, and OTK boot and KaPow, I'm ready for lunch with the ladies!!! Comfy and affordable! Two things that Im all about for the new year!!! Aren't you???? Go out and try on some Leggings Ladies! You're sure to turn heads in which ever look you choose!!!

Fade to Gray

Fade to Gray Fade to Gray Fade to Gray Fade to Gray

This fall, fashion has introduced the new Black...Gray!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gray has been turning up in all my September issue fashion mags! Even "O", Oprah's magazine did an entire spread, complete with celeb models and all on the "it" color! Gray!!!?? Once thought of as drab and nondescript; Gray has now become, raw, edgy, and a great transitional color from summer to fall. Gray has taken on lots of variation this season. Not only can you find the color in traditional looks like dresses and pants, but handbags, shoes, and coats have added to their collections as well. Let's take a look: First up are dresses! The great thing about the dresses featured here are that they come in flattering cuts for most shapes, wide and thin, and the color is complimenting too. Gray is a great paired with black, of course. But also red and yellow!!!!! These dresses can be paired with a hot pair of red pumps(which is also a highly talked about fall color) or if transitioning, try one of these dresses with a bare leg, a cute yellow flat(like this one by Sam Edelman "Celine") and another hot item, a metallic tote bag!

Gray is also perfectly paired with bronze tones, deep purples, and burnt oranges and vibrant pinks! I'm loving the Gray and Cobalt Blue combo! Hot!!! Be bold, be creative, step out on a limb with your Gray. You wont fade away if you know how to rock your Gray!!!! Here are some other looks to try by Vince and Juicy Couture!
