Orange Delight

 jacket (Rebecca Minkoff, Bib + Tuck c/o), jeans (JBrand, see similar), heels (Kate Spade), tshirt (J.Crew), bag (Michael Kors), bracelet (Stella & Dot), rings (David Yurman), watch (Cartier), shades (Michael Kors)

Kinda had to sport this color combo with Halloween right around the corner---also tried a little orange & polka dot action HERE for work today.  And while I'm digging this color combo quite a bit--I'm digging where I snagged this Rebecca Minkoff Becky Blazer from even more.  May I introduce you to Bib & Tuck...... 

Basically you have two super chic gals coincidentally both named Sari who were, like most of us girls, avid fans of swapping clothes with one another while in college in an effort to save some jingle.  Well, they decided to take this concept, thank heavens, to the rest of the world and have curated an insane collection of closets for us to shop from at a silly (and by silly I mean so dang good) price point!  Think shopping the closets of Mara Hoffman, Alicia Lund from Cheetah is the New Black, and my latest girl crush who I just adored while at Lucky Fabb, Verena Von Pfetten.  I was fortunate enough to have snaked the Rebecca Minkoff blazer above along with a gorgeous white DVF frock.  I'm seriously obsessed with this concept and clearly so is Refinery29, Marie Clare, & Vogue as they've been featured in all three!  Make sure you take a gander at Bib & Tuck, think you'll be pretty pleased you did!  Make it a good one, gang!

Leisurely Loafers

 trench (Banana Republic sold out), sweater (Gap), chambray (J.Crew), pants (Gap SIMILAR shade), loafers (Abound, Nordstrom Rack c/o), bag (Linea Pelle c/o), shades (Lacoste, Nordstrom Rack c/o)

Talk about a quintessential fall rig.  A trench, little layered sweater action, Relaxed Fit Chinos, & some loafers---casual, relaxed, and layered for the cooler weather.  You'd find me doing the morning drop off or running errands in this look, but it would also be a comfy yet pulled together travel look as well.  Speaking of traveling, I'm heading to NYC this week for a little Lucky Fabb action & visiting some friends (Aunty Cheff is coming for you Baby Marin)!  Make sure you follow along on Instagram for some shenanigans & OOTD's!  PS:  Big congrats goes to Jackie Watson--you my dear won the Pomegranate Giveaway!!  Thank you to all who participated.  Make it a good one gang!

It's Clover Canyon

dress (Clover Canyon), shoes (J.Crew), clutch (Kate Spade love THIS), shades (Michael Kors), watch (Cartier), ring (David Yurman), cuff (unknown)

There's not too much to say about this frock other than it fits like a dang glove, sucks you in in all the right places, and makes a very vibrant statement!  I wore it out on the town in NYC and while it is a definitely switch from my working mom/casual mode, I have to say I quite enjoyed getting a little spruced for the evening.  Word to the wise---lay off the cupcakes the day of--sucker hugs like nobody's business!  Make it a good one gang!

Nordstrom Rack Take Two

\

 look 1:  jacket (RL c/o Nordstrom Rack)

look 2:  skirt (DVF c/o Nordstrom Rack)

So last week I chatted about the new Nordstrom Rack in Louisville & how I was fortunate enough to be sent a gift card to shop my heart out.  Well today I'm putting these suckers to good use showcasing two of my fave finds.  I told you I was thrilled when I found the boy's navy blazer---I have worn it at least 3 times since snagging it.  How fun to pair something so utterly prep with a little camo, right?  Just another friendly reminder to shop your mens' & boys' sections.  I know it sounds a bit ridiculous, but I swear I have the best luck when I browse the boys' sections.  I also got a great pair of men's Lacoste shades when there that I am in love with (that post will be up later this week).  And then there's my lovely little DVF skirt--I am so in love with this color and the fit is so spot on.  It's the perfect canvas for a little navy, pink, and of course, some sneaks!  Probably gonna head back there this week prior to my NYC trip for Lucky Fabb and see if I can snag a few more gems--highly recommend my fellow Kentuckians do, too!  Alright gang, make it a good one!

Word to the wise gang, get these PANTS!  I am in love with them--as a matter of fact, I will be sporting them today for a work meeting this afternoon (stay tuned for an OOTD on Instagram).  I'm not sure which I'm loving more--the print, the color, or the fit.  I'm already envisioning pairing them with a red blazer or a bright pink or green sweater.  Based on the look above, I obviously love the idea of print mixing them as well.  A piece with a multitude of pairing options is a solid piece in my book.  

PS:  Shopbop is having their Friends & Family 25% off discount with code INTHEFAMILY25.  Take a peak at some of the MANY pieces I'm clocking below.  Also, the POMEGRANATE GIVEAWAY  ends this eve so get your entry on!  Make it a good one!

Nordstrom Rack

Disclosure:  I was personally invited by Nordstrom Rack in Louisville to take a gander in their new store.  Nordstrom Rack gifted me a $200 gift card to shop the latest trends and fall finds.  All opinions expressed are my own and are in no way influenced by Nordstrom Rack.  

More exciting than the grand opening of Nordstrom Rack in Louisville, KY, was the fact that I got to shop there ALONE--sans KIDS--dream. come. true.  This translated to about an hour and a half mosey throughout the entire store scouring all of the fabulous fall finds at an insanely good price point.  Go figure, first stop was the men's section---I spotted a row of fab fedoras from afar and fell in love with this Ben Sherman topper.  I also decided to snag a pair of men's Lacoste aviator shades--super cute tortoise with a neon stripe!  Not pictured (coming next week) is a perfectly fitted Kelly Green DVF skirt I snaked (their DVF selection was FANTASTIC--comprised about half of my cart).  The shoe section def proved to be where the majority of my time was spent---chucks, metallic oxfords, and quirky smokers were just some of my fave picks.  I have to say; however, my golden ticket item was the classic boys' navy blue blazer pictured above with the gold buttons---obsessed--and you'd die if I told ya how much I scored it for! I rounded out my excursion with the accessories section--hello Kate Spade for days--and a side of beauty products.  The one area I failed to hit up which I'll do in the next few weeks is their home section----looking for some good cocktail glasses and I've spotted some gold gilded ones online.  So Kentuckians---do yourself a favor and check it out--I was thoroughly impressed indeed!  Stay tuned next week to see how I styled my Nordstrom Rack treats--make it a good one!  PS:  did you see this morning's MASHUP POST--a trio of outfits--check it!

The Mashup

look 1:  jacket (Gap, love this Blk/White Version), blouse (Joie), jeans (dl1961), flats (Jeffrey Campbell dig this pair), crossbody (Elaine Turner c/o), shades (Ray Ban), cuff (unknown), watch (Cartier), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck)

look 2:  sweatshirt (Thread Social), shorts (Asos, sold out), chambray (J.Crew 25% off with code SHOPNOW), bag (Linea Pelle c/o), flats (Ann Taylor old, want THESE), bangles (Bourbon & Boweties c/o Adele of Lexington), shades (Gucci)

look 3:  sweater (J.Crew--ADORE this baseball version 25% off), jeans (7FAM), heels (Pour La Victoire), bag (Michael Kors), watch (Michael Kors)

Just a little fashion mashup of some easy casual looks--nothing terribly fancy--which is what I like about them.  With the exception of the navy Joie Lace Top, the majority of these looks are using items already in the closet (ie:  Striped Jacket, Striped Shorts, & White Jeans).  Oh and if you haven't already guessed, I'm one of those who believe you absolutely can wear white after Labor Day (it's the Floridian in me)---just remember to mix fall/wintry textures in with the whites!  Alright gang, cheers to a fab week--make it a good one!
