Fall Colors

Feeling inspired by some of the fall foliage. I thought the yellow and burnt orange trees were especially beautiful.

Thread Social Blouse: $400

Kenneth Cole NY Petites Cscade Open Cardigan: $63.20 - on sale!

40 under $40: Day 21: Pave Ring

I rarely ever shop at Talbots or Chico’s but I’m always reminded my magazines that both stores have great finds.  I love this pave ring! It is a great mix of gold and gunmetal gray so it will go with everything and it is a steal at $39.00!

 

40 under $40: Day 20: Leopard Clutch

Leopard print is one of my favorite trends for this season (although I’m warming up to zebra as well). A leopard clutch is the perfect way to follow the trend if you aren’t ready for a full on leopard print dress. This New York & Company clutch reminds me of the new Jimmy Choo for H&M leopard clutch except you don’t have to wait to have it!

40 under $40: Day 19: Ruffles

A few days ago I posted about Jeffrey Campbell, a great shoe brand a friend had suggested. Today I found something that may be even better than the ruffled Jeffrey Campbell flat, a ruffled flat for $35 on Piperlime!

Wanted Frills Flat at Piperlime: $35

Jefrrey Campbell: $110

40 under $40: Day 18: Infinity Scarf

Try as I might I can’t will winter to take this year off.  I’ve managed to avoid putting a coat on but I’ve also started sprinting to my car to avoid freezing. I’m giving in and admitting defeat and purchasing an infinity scarf.

Splendid Infinity Scarf: $18

40 under $40: Day 17: Fringe

Were you as excited as I was to receive your new JCrew catalog? I fell in love with the jewelry immediately and at just around $100 – amazing. And then I realized they had layered four or five necklaces, all of which were over $100.  No thanks JCrew, if I want to spend $600 jewelry there are going to be some precious stones involved.

However, I loved the fringe necklace they used to layer.  Here is a less expensive alternative from Gap:

Gap Golden Fringe Necklace: $24.50

JCrew Fringe Necklace: $78

Count how many necklaces she is wearing..it's not one!

40 under $40: Day 16: Swiss Dot Tights

My favorite 40 under $40 post yet! I love Swiss Dot Tights.  I have been wearing them almost daily since the end of September (let me tell you they look amazing with wellies! HA!).  My pair is from Nordstrom but American Eagle has a similar and wonderfully inexpensive pair as well.

American Eagle Swiss Dot Tights: $12.50

American Eagle Swiss Dot Tights: $12.50

Jeffrey Campbell

Another great find that I can’t take any credit for. A good friend requested I share Jeffrey Campbell shoes on the blog and for good reason.  His flats are adorable and reasonably priced. The boots are in the $200-$300 range but look amazing.

Some of my favorites:

Jeffrey Campbell Jewel Purple Suede Shoe: $110 - Lori's Shoes

Jeffrey Campbell Haley Cap: $112, Lori's Shoes

Jeffrey Campbell: $158, Urban Outfitters

Oh, Olivia…

Some midweek Olivia Palermo for you. I didn’t think Tuesday night’s The City was full of that many great fashions. I could honestly do with a whole lot less Erin and Roxy.  More Joe Zee and Olivia of course! I did like her beaded necklace from the Elle party.

New Brand to Love: Nadinoo

I owe this find to another wonderful blogger, Wonderfelle, who introduced me to the site Paper-Doll. Paper-Doll is your one stop shop for independent designers with amazing talent.  Today’s featured designer is Nadinoo. The clothes are precious, girly, and look luxurious.  What is even better is that British designer Nadia Izruno only makes a few of each pieces so you are ensured to stand out in a crowd. Another great extra? You can request custom lengths in case you are tall or petite at no additional cost. Sorry tailor!

Nadinoo Midnight Bow Dress: 125 pounds
