Good morning friends! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and were able to score a few item from the Jason Wu collection at Target. I scored a dress, which I will share with you once it arrives. I wanted to pass along this fun read for you to check out on your lunch break today. Over at The Sew Weekly I came across a blog post (thanks Patrick!) that describes their take on what they will be wearing on the next season of Mad Men. The show went off the air for about a year and it’s return has been long overdue! I’m super excited to see it return and my obsession with their costumes will be back in full force. I think I was a 1950’s housewife in a former life…anyway, enjoy! Click here for the post.

Nessa D'Orsay Glossy Cheetah Print Flat from Talbots
Looking for a cute, animal-print flat to get you inspired for Spring? The Nessa from Talbots is a great Friday Find! I especially think this is a great way to wear an open-air shoe to a business casual office setting. While your toes and heels are covered for the conservative, office setting, the open style of the shoe keeps the look airy and fresh. You might see my rocking this later in the year…I have been thinking about a warm-weather animal print shoe. This one is definitely going on my inspiration board!

That will be a later post, so check back for more on that! In the mean time…notice anything else different?

New York Times
Hello friends! Sorry it has been a week since I last posted. It was just one of those weeks where fashion wasn’t on the top of my list…I know, I know…how can you forgive me?!? Hopefully I will redeem myself by passing along this article from the NY Times. This seems to be the time of year when the bridal shows start popping up. A good friend of my recently got engaged, and my own brother is getting married this spring. Or…maybe I was just inspired by all the white snow we’ve had over the past few days. Wedding on the brain, anyone? Here is great read about what’s on the horizon for dresses. Click here for the article…enjoy!

Lucky Magazine February 2012
Happy Monday friends! This week while you are grabbing your groceries you might want to pick up the February issue of Lucky Magazine. There are great looks throughout that will get you excited about Spring! I’m also excited about their City Guide this month. The article focuses on the shopping in Washington, DC, which is just a few hours drive from us here in NEO. I’m sensing a road trip…

Earlier this week I was browsing through Banana Republic and wanted to share a few of my favorite finds with you! You see, last year, I really had no interest in BR. I’m not sure what happened over there, but between the Mad Men Collection (love) and the weird boho-chic vibe (no-so-much-love) they had going on, things just were not up to par, in my opinion. I literally used to shop in BR once a month and didn’t buy anything in there for an entire year, until I went to Mexico and the boho-chic came in handy (by means of one long black skirt and 2 colored tanks).
Anyway…I digress. These are some great looks that you can probably do in your wardrobe, as long as you have the right pieces. I’m printing these out and adding them to my Fashion Story…what about you? Enjoy these looks and while we are having a snowy weekend, start thinking about spring!

So simple and classic. Great for a business casual look!

Bright colors are back again for spring...thinking of updating my cardigans.

I have a jacket just like this...can't wait to repeat this look.

Love this dress...it also comes in gray/black!

Special thanks to my friend Maeghan who posed for this pic. Look out, ladies! There’s a new fashionista in town!

Wow! What a fabulous outfit!

I was inspired by Maeghan and here's what happened...my version of a sweater dress over skinny pants and boots!

I just love this denim shirt dress, and since it feels like spring out, I thought I would wear it!
