I hate to admit it, but I was one of the maniacs that stayed up until 4:30 AM for the release of the 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collections a few weeks ago. When the packages came in the mail, I couldn’t decide whether the sleep deprivation was worth it.  But once this outfit came together, I felt a little bit better about my life.  I’m all about creating luxe looks for less.  And while the real 3.1 Phillip Lim is still on my wishlist, I’m glad I get to have a few fun pieces from the designer collab to call my own.  Did you score any pieces from the collection?  I would love to see how you styled them!

Okay, so I’ll be completely honest here: I don’t really do country and I don’t do rodeos.  Truth is, I once bought a pair of cowboy boots … and then only wore them once.  Needless to say, I’m much more of a city girl that is occasionally inspired by the country spirit.  So maybe my interpretation involves sequin and leopard — would you expect anything less?

By now, you all know my love for leopard.  Well, meet tortoise: leopard’s more subtle, but still equally cool cousin.  It’s nothing new, but the print has been popping up in accessories everywhere this fall and I ain’t mad.  A touch of tortoise and a dash of gold make for an ultra luxe combo.  Check out a few of my favorite pieces!
