OOTD: Magenta & Green

This is a super late outfit post! A couple weeks, I went out to dinner with Sheela and she called me a few hours before and says "I think I'm gonna dress up for you". I was happy she said that coz I'm usually the one who dresses up and she likes to keep it cazh. I just feel like you should dress up every chance you get - it's so much fun, no?

Anyways, this dress had been in a my closet for a while and I hadn't worn it yet so I decided to take it for a night out! At first, I had just worn it with a long, gold necklace but then I remembered this J.Crew look-a-like bubble necklace that I had just bought and I had been dying to wear it. So, I changed it up.

PS - The dress is a little long, IMO, to go with stockings. So, I just folded it up at the waist.
Dress: Asos / Necklace: Charlotte Russe / Watch: BCBG / Bracelet: Forever21 / Clutch & Shoes: Old
Do you guys like to dress up when you're just going to to dinner with your girls? Or do you like to keep it cazh?

SAG Awards 2013 Best Dressed

I'll be honest - I didn't watch the whole red carpet coverage on E! - it was beyond awful!! Did you guys watch it? I was also disappointed because I saw a lot of black dresses. So, I decided to take a nap and when I woke up and went online to see what dresses I had missed, I was very pleased. So, here are my 3 picks for best dressed -
January Jones in Prabal Gurung
Amanda Seyfried in a Zac Posen dress and Lorraine Schwartz jewels
Jessica Chastain in an Alexander McQueen dress and Harry Winston jewels
These ladies definitely got it all right! Who did you guys love at the SAG Awards?

Coat Crush: Coats under $150

I have sort of an obsession with coats - mostly long coats. This is probably one of the top reasons I love living in the Northeast - nothing like being able to experience all four seasons! I absolutely love my coats and scarves. So, when a friend of mine asked me to help her shop for coats, I was all too happy! The bargain shopper in me knows that now is a great time to shop for coats so, I have picked out eight fabulous coats - all under $150 each (#5 is only $40)!
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8

Are y'all as obsessed with coats as I am? Do you like any of these? I'm in love with #2!

Spring 2013 Wardrobe Update

With a new season, we have new trends and these trends change so rapidly that's it tough to always keep up and update your wardrobe to match every trend! I have a couple rules about this - 1. Remember you don't HAVE to follow every trends. 2. You don't have to flood your wardrobe with the new trends every season. What I typically do is buy 1 or 2 pieces for each trend that I'm loving.

Let's talk about Spring 2013. I'm so excited because as much as I love brights and florals (and I do LOVE brights & florals), it's great to see some fun, new trends! I'm gonna stick with 3 of my faves for this season - Black & White, Stripes, and Leather. I've picked some of my favorite pieces for each trend.

PS - As mentioned in this post, I'm on a 2-month shopping ban. So, this was not easy for me - I want literally every single piece! You guys have fun shopping on my behalf! :)

Black & White
Bag / Flats / Pumps / Skirt / Dress / Pants / Top / Necklace


Stripes
Dress / Skirt / Bag / Jeans / Scarf / Shoes / Top

Leather
Vegan Skirt / Dress / Pants / Corset Top / Jacket / Peplum Top
Well, happy wardrobe update!
