Paris, in Style.....

A few weeks ago, I was finally able to shop at H&M in Limoges. It was heavenly! Logan was lucky and got a chunk of my Christmas shopping done... the problem now lies with me sneaking those items up for our Parisian adventure in a few days. ;)

One of my purchases was a short, boxy, black lace top.  These days I am wearing longer shirts and I had no idea how to wear it, so I reached out to my trusty fashionista friend ERIN.  She came up with 3 inspiration boards to give me some ideas.  I am still SWOONING over her suggestions! After reviewing, I immediately added a fur coat and red skinny jeans to my "wish list." Which board is your favorite? I am still trying to decide, but I think "I Heart Paris" is the most like me since I love incorporating bright colors into my wardrobe. 

1. Classic / Tailored

2. Boho Chic

3. Romantic / Girly

Thank you ERIN for helping me plan out my weekend wardrobe :) Read Erin's blog, full of fashion, interior design, and amazing indie tunes HERE.

Wishful Wardrobe: Perfect Patio Ensemble

Breezey Bliss by abbymisegades featuring a floral romper

Floral romper, $35
Stuart Weitzman platform wedge, $365
Tory Burch nylon tote, $250
Floppy hat, $20
Ray-Ban RB3362 Cockpit Sunglasses | Official Ray-Ban Store, $139

This weekend was a blast!  Logan and I ventured to Nick & Sam's Grill for brunch and got the most perfect table for 2 outside right next to some blooming pink flowers.  It was so fun to relax, enjoy the sunshine, sip on some Sparkling Sangria / Bloody Marys, and eat some tasty food. The Hass Avocado Guacamole "Block" is to die for!

So back to the outfit... I found this STEAL of a deal romper at Delia's for only $35 and it inspired me to put together a whole "patio" look.  (I more than made up for the $35 romper by pairing it w/ Stuart Weitzmann wedges..but a girl can dream right?) I don't currently own a romper or a floppy hat...but they are both on my summer wish list!

How was your weekend? I cannot wait to tell you about the Karaoke cab... it was unlike anything I have ever done before! :) There will perhaps be video footage and a love story if you are lucky.

Wishful (Holiday) Wardrobe

I played around on Polyvore this week and have put together a few "wishful wardrobes" for some of my upcoming holiday parties!

Enjoy my 3 looks. Oh if only I had $850 for that diamond "Faith" necklace or those earrings... swoon...

Wishful Wardrobe: Feeling Fancy

So next week we have another round of our STELLAR 30/30 Employee Discount ... Last time I went they introduced the Gucci Guilty fragrance and I loved it! Currently I wear Daisy by Marc Jacobs and I am ready for a new scent... I have worn it for 2 years now and wanted something a little sexier and more sophisticated. Last time Gucci Guilty (since it was new) wasn't on our vendor list so I am crossing my fingers it will be this time. (They announce the particpating vendors on Tuesday!)

Confession...that little bottle of perfume LITERALLY is the reason for this inspiration board. It made me want to dress up, but not too fancy (b/c thats not my style) and step it up a few notches! Hope you like it :)

Wishful Wardrobe

I have been introduced to this website called POLYVORE through my new gig with Bergdorf Goodman. I have played around with it today and think its super cool... still figuring it all out!

I am going to start doing "Wishful Wardrobe" posts when I am in a shopping mood and don't exactly have the wallet to support my craving. I mean heck, I work on marketing one of the most expensive stores in the US- I look at overpriced merchandise every day for my job- talk about temptation and shopping envy!

Anyways I think its hilarious that the temperatures in Dallas have dropped to 75 and its pouring rain and everyone is giddy b/c they feel like FALL is finally here and its time for pumpkin spiced lattes and Christmas music... I am excited for Fall, but not convinced that Fall WEATHER is officially here... So gals, don't whip out your sweaters and Uggs quite yet.

I am going to do my first "Wishful Wardrobe" on a look that I feel is cute and transitional from Summer to Fall... I only wish I could afford it all ;) Take a gander at my "funky fall" daydream and check out Polyvore to start making your own collages!
