fall color trend: oxblood.

September 20, 2012

With fall quickly approaching, it’s time we put away the bright colors and introduce richer shades into our wardrobe.  As the weather cools down, I’ll be sharing some of this season’s major color trends to help bring your wardrobe up to date.

Lesson #1: Red is out.  Oxblood is in.  Not a big fan of the name, but I’m obsessed with the color.  It’s a dark shade of burgundy with hints of brown and its richness just exudes warm and cozy feelings!  Check out my favorite oxblood items below and let me know what you think of this fall color trend.

1. J.Crew Edie Attaché Bag — $298
2. ShoeMint Hillary Bow Flat — $79.95
3. Topshop Sleeveless Peplum Top — $36
4. Essie Downtown Brown Nail Polish — $8
5. AllSaints Prism Pipe Skinny Jeans — $120

sweater weather.

September 18, 2012

Before last year, I owned zero sweaters.  That’s right.  Zero.  They were never a shopping priority while I lived in Arizona, but after deciding to move to New York, I started stocking up on thicker knits.  Now that sweater weather is quickly approaching,* I can’t wait to start piling on the layers!  I’m currently adoring this striped sweater from J.Crew Factory, which will pair perfectly with casual jeans and cool kicks.

1. J.Crew Factory Charley Sweater — $54.50
2. Gap 1969 Boyfriend Jeans — $69.95
3. Coach Legacy Penny Crossbody Bag — $198
4. Gap Suede Loafers — $39.95 (check stores for availability)
5. J.Crew Factory Charley Sweater — $54.50
6. Ray-Ban Oversized Wayfarers — $150
7. Keds x Madewell Geo Sneakers — $62
8. Madewell Skinny Skinny Ankle Jeans — $115

* To my AZ friends: Check back in November when this post will actually be relevant.

flipping out.

August 7, 2012

A few weeks ago, I mentioned a website where you can buy and sell new and used clothes online.  Since my first experience with Threadflip, I’ve begun selling a few pieces out of my own closet.  After all, moving across the country in a few weeks will require shedding a lot of unnecessary stuff — so why not share it with you?  Check out my items for sale on Threadflip and enjoy!
