November Inspiration

Well, fancy meeting you here! It has been quite some time since I have posted and I apologize for the hiatus! Between traveling, weddings and working two jobs, the Summer and most of Fall has slipped away from me. But...along with the colder temperatures, I am finding myself wanting to curl up on the couch and spend some quality time with my Mac! 

Now down to business. I have been absolutely loving the poncho/cape trend that is blowing up right now. This Fall has brought on a play with proportions and I adore the look of an over-sized top with some skinnies and statement booties. Being from Minnesota and surviving frigid temps along with ridiculous amounts of snow while attempting to be fashionable is usually difficult, not anymore. What an idea: clothing that is stylish and practical! I'm now on the hunt to find anything oversized that may or may not resemble a blanket...

Here are my fav's, ranging from ladylike to blanky-like:

DSQUARED2

I cannot get over the fabulousness that is DSQUARED2. I am obsessed over the new styles Shopbop is carrying for pre-Fall 2011. Can't wait to see more!

Friday {Interior} Inspiration

How fabulous is this apartment featured in Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles? I am loving the pure glamour of it all, while still mixing masculine pieces. Genius. 

So Sentimental.

Hi lovely readers, sorry for the week hiatus. It has been crazy busy lately for me with work and life, but I am back for the time being!

First order of business is the amaziness (I may have made the word up) that is Shopbop's Denim Guide. I am obsessing over this lookbook in all it's glory. I love that it is not your typical "Summer" lookbook - the overcast skies and muted colors make it for me. And it doesn't hurt that it looks like it may have been shot in the Midwest - Shopbop is based in Wisconsin, after all!

Happy {Cinco De Mayo} Friday

How fabulous is this editorial from Vogue Russia's May issue? I love all the swimwear and it is very fitting for Cinco De Mayo :)

Perfection

All of my favorite editorials just so happen to have loads of white, great shoes & accessories, and fabulous locations. This Elle Norway shoot fits the bill quite well, don't you think?

Friday {Royal Wedding} Inspiration

 
Kate is already royalty in my book.

Style Profile: Blake Lively

Whether she is filming for Gossip Girl, attending a red carpet event or grabbing a cup of coffee, Blake Lively always stands out with her impeccable style. I love her ability to mix classic pieces with trendier items and make it work. She can pull of literally ANY color - pink  and neon blue trousers? Blake is not afraid to play with trends and pulls it off with class. She has most recently been announced as the new face of Chanel, which is very fitting since she has worn their pieces so often in the past. It is clear that playing Serena Van Der Woodsen has impacted Blake's style so much that, at times, it is difficult to know if she is filming or not. This isn't a bad thing - I wouldn't mind raiding both of their closets!

What are your thoughts on Blake and her classic, girly style?

Ultimate Closet

I could spend hours checking out Shopbop's lookbooks and blog; both of which are amazingly full of inspiration. Most recently - The  Ultimate Spring Closet. I am loving these looks and appreciate that there are only a few key pieces so that I can duplicate it easily. Check out my favorite looks above and see the entire lookbook for yourself at Shopbop.

Friday {Blonde} Inspiration

Someone pass the peroxide.
