It Bears Repeating

skirt (Express similar to my Houndstooth Coat), blazer (Theory c/o Saks Cincinnati check out this similar STEAL ), blouse (Theory), bag (Rebecca Minkoff), heels (Manolo Blahnik c/o Saks Cincinnati), shades (Gucci), necklace (Page Sargisson c/o), rings (Anna Beck, Lagos)

And by "It" I really mean "They" as clearly I'm having a thing for this Blazer, Blouse, and Bag.  Essentially, this look is pretty much a dressier replica of THIS don't you think?  But when you find something that works, just run with it--don't reinvent the wheel. And right now, my wheel is black and white with a pop of color.  Oh and ps, how great is this "Leather" Vest Version of the blazer above?  May just need to add this bad boy to the line up.  Shop it and this look below.  You all enjoy your Wednesday---make it a good one!

The Printed Jumpsuit

 jumpsuit (DVF c/o Saks Cincinnati), bag (Rebecca Minkoff c/o Saks Cincinnati), heels (Manolo Blahnik c/o Saks Cincinnati), bracelets (Page Sargisson c/o), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), shades (Gucci)

 A lot of activity going on in this DVF Jumpsuit, but because it's got a sleek silhouette and a graphic black and white print, I figured I'd give it a go.  Not sure I could sport it if it was a colorful print--figure I'd leave the color to this Rebecca Minkoff tote that I'm mildly obsessed with and you will indeed see heavily rotated in the upcoming posts--it's quite simply the perfect shade of red.  Hate to post and run this morning, gang, but I've got a meeting for my day gig I've got to get to.  If you're in town this weekend, I'd love for you to join myself and a bevy of other blogger beauties at Saks 5th Avenue in Cincinnati shopping event this Saturday from 4-6.  A little champagne and shopping sounds pretty perfect for my Saturday afternoon!  Y'all make it a great one and enjoy your weekend!  Shop the look below the invite:
