Thursday Threads: A Colorful and Affordable Fall Ensemble

I'm honestly not sure what I am writing about tonight. I think I am just going to share with you some great things I have come across while on the Internets and in my fave go to stores these days.

How cool are these? They are beyond fun for the fall. A great shoe for a pair of skinny jeans, a cute dress with tights. The best part they are from TARGET and only $20! They also come in pewter glitter and black glitter.

This leopard print trench coat is water repellent and can be yours for $50 at TARGET! I know...I know...but what can I say? It's great for the fall and beyond because of the print. I originally saw this when I was in Seattle, then it showed up here in Miami...and then in my closet.

I know I have talked about this necklace a lot...but this green is stunning AND it is on sale! If you go to J.Crew online right now, it too can be yours for about $120. The color is really spectacular for the fall.

Now take all three of these pieces, put them together with a pair of skinny jeans in a great color like these and a white t-shirt like this and BAM! SUPER cute outfit!!

Hope you are having a great week!!

Wardrobe Wednesday: Fall Ready!

Happy Wednesday! I will say this morning I SWORE it was Thursday...but alas, it was only Wednesday. Happily this means I get time with my sketchbook so that I can draw my now ritualistic Wednesday drawing. Sadly...today marks the last page of my sketch book! I have been drawing Wardrobe Wednesday in it since C was a newborn, and as you know she is nearly 2 now!
So...this is what I wore today...

1. Black cat eye Ray Ban glasses
2. Flat gold link necklace (bought years ago in NYC)
3. Red-Orange blazer, Target
4. Black top, Old Navy
5. Black ankle zipper skinny jean, Gap
6. Gold glitter loafers, Target 

Hope you are having a great week!

Music Monday: Rules of Dee

Like many others last fall, I read the Hunger Games. When the movie came out, I was there like a bear. Then the music started. Some movies integrate their soundtrack fluidly, think Forrest Gump -- others don't yet the music is lovely, think The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games soundtrack was full of beautiful music such as this song, Rules by Jayme Dee. I recently heard this song on the XM station, The Coffee House.  It's such a pretty song, and if you read the books, or saw the film, then you will like the song even more. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you had a nice weekend!

Week-Ender 21

Another fantastic week! There were a few events that I was having such fun at that I totally forgot to pull out my phone...like this morning I was at a fashion preview for the Beaux Arts ball at Neimans...oh well! Never the less, the week started with my Goddaughters 3rd birthday party and from there our adventures included visits to Key Biscayne, matching friends, famous friends and a new BFF for Mini.

Thursday Threads: Seeing Spots

Old Navy's chambray polka-dot shirt is a perfect way to indulge in this fun print without going too crazy on the dots. It's $25 online and at stores. Since it's chambray you can literally wear it with any color pair of jeans, or a black maxi skirt. It will also work well as the days get shorter and cooler. Great find!

I promise I am not paid by Old Navy (although if you know a way they can pay me in clothes I'm up for that)...but these "Rock Star Jeans" in polka dot are so cute! Paige denim had a similar pair, but those were NOT $19, which is how much these are right now! Go online right now or visit your nearest store (all of their colored rock star jeans are only $19 right now).

These tights brought to you by Kate Spade are beyond perfect for the fall. I really like the way they are paired with this dress. They could also look cute under some wool shorts! Find them online for $32. You might also be able to find them at Nordstroms.

Here is another cute option from the Gap. The great thing is if you just want a touch of polka-dot, this is a great option and it is currently on sale for $19 online. You could even pair this with that Old Navy chambray shirt up top to mix up the size and color of the dots.

Happy Shopping!

Wardrobe Wednesday: Blue and Green

Yesterday was a bit of a hectic day--- so in an effort to make up for a lack of Art Talk Tuesday, I painted not only today's ensemble but yesterday's. Big fan of them both, especially yesterday's.
Yesterday:
1. Ray Ban Wayferer
2. 2 Kristin Pearce Design necklaces (one pearl, one pearl and crystal)
3. Blue and green plaid blazer, Merona: Target
4. Black and white polka-dot shirt, Merona: Target
5. Hunter green skinny jeans, Target
6. Brown, Eddie flat, Tory Burch

Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Music Monday: Late to the Game?

If you are like me, the first time you saw this face was on Saturday night during this years SNL season premier. Psy, a South Korean rapper apparently is a viral sensation...and I understand why. His song, Gangnam Style has been climbing iTunes charts, breaking the million views threshold on YouTube and now has been seen not only on SNL, but talk shows like Ellen and the Today Show. If you have not seen it, you should...it's bizarre, funny and catchy. Oddly catchy.  

Hope you had a nice weekend!
