MAB, Stripes & Leopard

I am head over heels in love with this MAB of mine. What's that you ask? Well its a buttery soft leather tote brought to you by the amazing Rebecca Minkoff. After much deliberation (you may remember this post) I finally decided that based on bags I previously owned and my all-around smittenness (that's a word) that this MAB tote would be the best choice for me. My favorite part is that the closet I keep my coat and bag in at work smells like fine leather whenever I open the door. Heaven! Highly recommend you get your own.

Honestly, I have this terribly bad habit of buying things and not wearing them until I find the perfect time or mood that strikes me. Usually this takes a few weeks, sometimes even months. But this particular dress has been hanging out in my closet with the tags still on it for 2+ years. I found it at the Zara sale for something ridiculous like $13 so I had to get it. The perfect night to wear it finally rolled around for my friend Erica's surprise bachlorette party last Friday. 

Cape and Overalls

American Eagle Overalls (similar) // Forever 21 Cape (love this one from the Limited's Scandal collection) //Vintage scarf (grandmas) // Target long sleeve tee shirt // Zara slippers // Michael Kors "Bradshaw" Watch // Double sided pearl earrings // Kate spade cross body bag (from the new Nordstrom Rack South Loop store. Similar here)

This cape is probably my best Forver 21 find of them all. It looks like a million bucks but didn't cost over $40! I found it last year so It's no longer avaliable (but they do have this cute one right now) but I did gather up some of my favorite cape coats out there for you to shop.

And in case you were wondering what the beauties on the other side of the lens look like, here they are. My bestie and her adorable little assistant may have found their calling as a fashion photog duo. 

Target Bender

Every now and then, a bad day at school results in teacher/friend Amy and I to spend our troubles away on a Target bender. This one was particularly awesome because I picked up this terrycloth dress and jacket with a hidden zip-away hood! The dress is basically a sweatshirt with genius color blocking that make you looks slimmer! Holla! And somehow this anorak that is pretty much the same color as my hair, doesn't wash me out. it comes in 5 colors online and I even saw it in camo in stores.

And as if you needed any more reason to shop at Target, They are having a buy-one-get-one-50%-off sale this weekend online only! So click over to Target and start filling up that "cart" guilt free!

21 Pieces That Have Me Excited for Fall

Capes, plaid and gorgeous leather pieces have me excited for fall. Especially after attending Nordstrom's Beauty Trend Show this past weekend. I'm all about a pale hued winter coat and beautiful skin after seeing what beauty trends are hot this fall. With that being said, I'm in absolute love with Mac's Matchmaster foundation I tried and brought home with me this weekend! I am in awe of how it magically blended in with my skin tone and feels so light!

Check out some pieces here that have me all ready to go for fall!
