Check on Check

Never one to shy away from checks, I was drawn to this Check Top & Matching Pants the moment I saw them.  The cut of this two piece has an effortless vibe about it that I absolutely love.  Not to mention it's the perfect palette for pairing some Leopard.  Best way to add a little shape to a very fluid, loosey goosey kinda fit?  Toss on a Blazer--it will cut in all the right places giving you a more streamlined shape.  

Alright gang, cheers to a wonderful weekend---you all make it a good one--thanks for stopping by!

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!

When asked by Saks Cincinnati to co-host their upcoming fall fashion event this Saturday, I, without hesitation, accepted their invite.  In prep for the soiree, I had their contemporary section at my fingertips and was able to pull a handfull of looks to style (stay tuned to see what other lovelies I chose).  Even with access to a zillion gorgeous pieces, I couldn't help but gravitate towards three classics.... A White Blouse, a Killer Leather Trimmed Blazer, and Distressed Denim.  Seriously, I could live in these items on the daily.  Spruced them up with some gorgeous accessories--Obsessed with THIS BAG and FEDORA and voila!  It reminded me that it's ok to splurge on some key staples because the reality is, you're gonna wear the hell outta them and get your money's worth!  

Would love love to see some locals at this weekend's event--it's on Saturday from 4-6--let's Shop and Sip, shall we?  Make it a great one, gang and feel free to shop these looks below!
