American Girl

clutch (Clare Vivier), jeans (DL 1961), sweater (J.Crew), blouse (Gap, see similar HERE & HERE), shoes (Daniblack, Monkees of Lexington, heeled version HERE), watch (Cartier), bracelets (Asos & J.Crew), ring (Lagos), shades (Gucci)

You all know that the button down blouse & jeans rig is never going to subside for me, right?  I do my best to switch it up some days, but it always seems that I resort back to this classic & timeless look.  To avoid boredom, I try to infuse little variances whether it be a fun ballet, rolled skinny, or lovely Clutch (I am slightly obsessed with Clare Vivier's selection--TDF)!  Alright, Gang, you all have a great start to your week---I've got a busy one ahead of me!

Leopard Does Green

 blouse (J.Crew see Alternative), skirt (Pim + Larkin similar Here love THIS & THIS SKIRT FOR $19!!), heels (J.Crew), clutch (Kate Spade, love THIS), belt (J.Crew love THIS), watch (Cartier), ring (Lagos), bracelets (Stella & Dot & J.Crew), shades (Gucci)

To me, this is my idea of a perfect work look.  It's easy while still being professional and yet with the colors, there's a little bit of fun thrown in there, too!  Make sure you take a look below at some ridiculously affordable work/play options from Piperlime.  They carry two lines that I just love for their on trend pieces that are crazy affordable and the quality is pretty darn good considering the price point. Also, a major CONGRATULATIONS goes to Christina Dardano--you my sweets won the Style Etoile giveaway!  I am so very appreciative of all who participated...we've got some more giveaways waiting in the wings so stay tuned!  Make it a good one!

Back from a little hiatus last week, gang!  Here's what I'm loving about this rig...the sucker is multifunctional!  It can be worn as is for some dinner & drinks...she can be worn with ballet flats for a lunch with your gal pals...or can be a perf mom uniform with some Chucks.  I definitely intend to sport it all three ways--get the look below....make it a good one!

Indigo Girl

dress (Ronen Chen c/o), shoes (J.Crew), clutch (JJ Winters), ring (Lagos), watch (Cartier), necklace (J.Crew craving THIS & THIS)

Did you get all jazzed up last night?  If you consider watching the Oscars with your mother sporting sweats & Old Navy pj bottoms all jazzed up, then yes, glamorous I was. If I had, however, attended a little soiree last night, I'm loving the idea of a head to toe look in a vibrant indigo hue.  While metallics would have been an easy pairing, I wanted to kick it up a notch with a turquoise clutch.  If I'm being honest, I was a tad underwhelmed with last night's fashion...my two faves had to be Charlize (sucker for short hair obviously & that face) and Naomi Watts--stunner.  I'd love to know, who were your faves of the night?  Make it a good one, gang!
PS:  Added new threads to my Poshmark Closet (HINT:  DVF & TIBI)...make sure you give her a look!
