Happy 2011 everyone!! I hope you had a wonderful New Year’s Eve. I’ll have my OOTE later today. But first, the wishlist. Despite not loving the new Anthropologie arrivals, January is my birthday month and I have been steadily building up a wishlist. Right now my main wish is to get one of the online birthday discounts. I’ll temporarily uncross…
The only reason I subscribe to fashion mags is also the main reason why I love catalogues: inspiration. I have been known to fall in love with a particular item or color based upon professionals’ style guidance. Though the shot above is from a J.Crew catalogue from last year (October 2009 I believe) I’m still drawing inspiration from it today.…
The pitcher waits for the sign from the catcher… It’s hard to believe that in my dresser full of cardigans I didn’t own a single red one. A hole that needed to be filled for sure!

When I saw the blouse I knew I no longer needed the dress. I ended up buying the top…
Mmmhm. Have you ever waited and waited and waited for an item to go on sale, only to miss out when it finally does? That’s what happened to me with this Leifsdottir skirt. I originally tried it on last spring at Bloomingdales. While I loved the skirt, the original pricetag meant I had to wait. So I did. I mourned…
Not sure which I want more — the outfit or the dress form! Oh, Tabitha. Of course you would be the brand to help me come around on blazers! First you tempted me with the Sun Spiral Jacket ($148, review here). Now you’ve got me again with the Chaperoned Blazer ($128). Textured navy tweed with a subtle sparkle? Call me…
I’m too cool for eye contact. I should preface this review by noting that sweaterdresses aren’t really my thing. The Jacinth Sweaterdress ($148) is a beautiful color and the overall length is right. Plus it’s about the softest dress I’ve ever tried on, thanks to a soft cotton-wool-angora-other crap mix. The sleeves have tiny vents in them and the skirt…
