Shopbop Friends & Family

I recently read an article that January is the best month to go shopping due to the deep discounts post the holiday craze as well as generally lower prices to lure in shoppers due to it being a slows sales month. I however find October to be the best month of deals and steals. Not only was this past weekend chock full of sales, but now Shopbop has launched their Friends & Family sale offering 25% off almost everything... I am having a major moment with black, red & white and created a little round up of some fashionable items at all different price points from the sale. Just enter code FAMILY25 at checkout for your stellar savings. Perfect time to start your holiday shopping!

Feeling Blue

Ok, so I'm not literally feeling "blue", but feeling rather obsessed with the bright color. After I wore some new affordable gym clothes in the bold oceanic color, I was paid several compliments by my husband and some gym friends {mostly because they were shocked to see me in something other then black}. So of course when I had to look up other ways to incorporate this color into my life. I was pleasantly surprised to see my research results had this pop of color available in a plethora of stylish ways from your closet to home decor.

Weekend Wear - Neutral Obsessed

This Spring I have been finding myself drawn time and time again to neutrals. Whether I am shopping for something to wear to out with friends or a date with my man, I always gravitate to tan and white. While this really isn't anything new as I am terrible about wearing color it seems that it's more evident in this particular color combination. I always feel more glamorous and polished in these two shades with jeans or even in more formal attire. I am obsessed and can't stop purchasing anything with these two together are together.

weekend wear - lazy sunday

Everyone & their mother knows that emerald is the color of the year for 2013. However it's hard to wear green head to toe without looking like a leprechaun. I always love using color in my accessories selections and keep my ensemble pieces int he basic hues of black, navy, tan & white. It allows everything to be recreated into numerous looks with ease. I might be weird but even when I am laying around the house, I always like to be dressed in something other then pajamas. On the weekends when I don't dare to head out in the freezing Boston temperatures I practically live in ponchos and jeans. It's like a blanket wrapped around you yet I don't feel sloppy. So without further adieu I combined my love of emerald and being comfy chic to create the look below for lounging around on a lazy Sunday. Hope your all having a great weekend!

trend spotting - leather

I remember when I got my first leather skirt and how I instantly fell in love. Tina Turner was first in my memory to have rocked this look and I can honestly recall that I wanted her legs even at the age of 12. I may have been a wee too young to wear such a nice article of clothing but it was a gift and if I didn't wear then I would have just been plain old rude right? Yes, let's stick with that. The skirt was gifted to me from one of my favorite neighbors growing up. She had all boys so I usually got spoiled with something elaborate as I imagine she was getting the shopping for a girl out of her system. It really worked out well for me. I revisited leather again in college when J.Crew came out with a few pencil skirts made of leather and I purchased a tan knee length skirt that soon became a staple in my wardrobe for every special event {which reminds me that I need to find that skirt again)}. So any-who, moving along from memory lane, leather dresses are hot hot hot right now and I am totally loving the look. Softer lines and lady like styles make this look a little more chic then rock and roll but still gives a bit of an edgy look without having to go full out goth. I picked out a few of my favorite looks in leather dresses and was pleasantly surprised to see all the options out there, color block, colored leather, long sleeve styles, combination of leather and fabric and even longer hemlines for those of us who never achieved those Tina Turner gams - enjoy!

tie dyed & gone to heaven

Flashback Summer 1990 and tie dye was all the rage??? I remember riding my bike to the five a dime (shout out to Suffolk Stores for all West Islip readers) and buying a few different boxes of Rid dyes and then rubber banding the hell out of some gap t-shirts to create my own work of art in the driveway with a hose a and a bucket. The only problem was my patience. I always took the rubber bands off too soon to see my stylish creation and the colors would all bleed into one another, never mind my hands and usually my white canvas kids would fall victim to the dye and more then just the T-shirt would be ruined. As I am older and hopefully a tad more wiser I will leave the art of tie dyeing to the designers and purchase the goods perfectly streaked, blended & dip dyed so all that is left is styling your work of art clothing. Below are a few looks that I think are to dye for (pun intended).

color combo crush - navy & white

Are there more two colors that are made for each other then navy and white??? In my opinion these two together in any form is total perfection. As the warmer weather approaches I love converting all my black clothes for navy (so rebellious in my color selection I know). Together this color duo is often seen in stripes, dots, and everything nautical but even in solids I adore it to pieces. From fashion to decor in your home combining the two is always stylish in my book - just look at all the eye candy below. Stay tuned for part two where this combo is featured in some beautiful home settings!
