Um, What?

Miss Selfridge just put out a Gossip Girl inspired line. I have to say, I am not impressed, nor do I think that whoever Miss Selfridge's designers are are watching the same show I am. These pieces are uninspired, overpriced and hardly reflective of the show at all.

Your thoughts?

Wish I May, Wish I Might....

....Can I have this bag tonight?

Cat's Eyes and Feathers?

As I am currently trying to loose some major poundage before my friend Dawn-Marie's May 2011 wedding, I've been staving off purchasing new clothes in the hopes that I won't be this same size in a month or two. This has reignited my love of ASOS accessories (the very best). I'm currently drooling over this clutch and these sunglasses.

Miss LC Too?

When the Olsen Twins put out their coffee table style inspiration book I couldn't have been less excited. If I want to learn how to dress like a fur clad hobo I'll just go downtown for inspiration. But LC? The Lauren Conrad, the mother of all reality-tv-star-turned-legimate-business-owners? Yes. I can get onboard with that! Behold "Style" LC's third book - out October 5th.
And just in case you are an LC groupie like me. InStyle has provided a sneak peek at some of the looks.

P.S. Can You Make This?

Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This is my personal hero. There is nothing this woman cannot concoct for less than $10. Her first book based on her amazing blog was just published and I came across a fabulous interview with her here.

Can You Believe It?

This adorable 1940's shrug cut, A-line piece of perfection is at WalMart for $22.00. Guess where I'm going tonight?

Sparkles and Fluff Anyone?

The Marchesa Spring 2011 show is amazing. I've always loved Marchesa gowns, but this is a sparkle and fluff fanatics dream!

Can I Just Take One of Each?

Jonathan Saunders' Spring 2011 collection makes me so happy. It's both preppy and romantic with cuts that would flatter any body type. Though I've never followed his collection before, I'm officially a fan.

Glute Toning Trainers?

Long, long, story short, I need new trainers (tennis shoes, sneakers, whatever you may call them). While I seriously doubt a pair of shoes alone will make my bum tiny and perfect, I feel there isn't anything wrong with getting the right equipment to try, right? Here are the New Balance WW1100 Wellness Shoes. I love me some New Balance, and if these threaten to give my buns a better workout, I just might be suckered in.

Hommage a Blair

It's Tuesday, feeling without any inspiration and a little down, I looked up my favorite fashionista Blair Waldorf to give me a lift. Her Gossip Girl wardrobe is divine and only getting better with time. Here are two of my favorites.

Do You Rue?

I do! I do!

Rue Magazine finally hit the interwebs and it is even more fabulous than I expected.

They might give Lonny Mag a run for their money,

and it makes me miss Domino so very very much.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow?

I decided over the summer to try and grow out my bangs, I told myself I was going for more of a Lauren Conrad / super model look. Sadly, I finally realized that I do not have the bone structure for Giselle's hair. Instead I looked like an unwashed hippie no matter what I did, so this week I went to Got Beauty and begged them to class me back up!

Much better yes?

Do You Clog?

Cause I do! After weeks of searching the intrawebs I stumbled across the single most perfect pair of clogs at my local Nordstrom Rack. They cost me my first born, but were worth every penny. They are Jeffrey Campbell Woodies and the leather is so creamy I feel completely spoiled and fabulous!

Mint Cream Anyone?

I have been lusting after some creamy green nail polish for weeks now. Sadly, where I live, its hard to come by anything on trend. We usually have to wait a couple months before the newest "thing" filters down to little old S.L.C. But then Dawn-Marie allowed me to go in on an order at E.L.F. with her. While I must be the last person on earth to know about E.L.F. I am so glad to be introduced! And their Mint Cream polish is perfection!

Are You In on the Conspiracy?

If you haven't yet checked out the Chloe Conspiracy on my Fashion Inspiration sidebar, you must go, right now. Not only is she witty, she's gorgeous and has a closet to die for.

When Did That Happen?

I have always avoided Charlotte Russe like the plague. The store at our local mall looks more like a tornado whipped up a heap of clothes than an actual shop. So when some of my most trusted fashion bloggers started cropping up in Charlotte Russe pieces I decided to give the website a shot.

They were having an amazing sale (and still are here) so I picked up a couple pieces which were delivered yesterday and I have to say, I am blown away. The quality is super nice, the fit is perfect and the price was right. When did this happen?

I picked up this chambray shirt for a song and can't wait to wear it!

It's a Paraty

Okay, okay, I haven't updated in, um, forever. I'm sorry this side project fell by the wayside, but I'm back now and promise to be a more diligent.

But I think this is the perfect piece to come back with!

I am behind the times here, but just discovered the Chloe Paraty bag. DELICIOUS. How delightful is the rose color?

I'm desperate for one. That said, I might settle this a beautifully inspired version for only $50 here.
