    ‘Lust VS. Must’ – Quilted Blue Bag

    Screen Shot 2013-11-08 at 1.28.55 PM

    I spotted this cobalt blue beauty on a few fashion bloggers and I instantly fell in love. Naturally I have taste for the finer things in life, however I certainly don’t have the budget to buy them, so on this week’s edition of ‘Lust vs. Must’ I bring to you the cheaper yet still chic version of the cobalt blue Chanel bag I fell head over *heels* for!

    While I couldn’t find an exact price on this Chanel show stopper, I’m sure it’s in the thousands, so I found a few great options to try!

    My ‘Must’ piece I actually purchased myself. It’s by the brand ‘Paradox’ available at Lord & Taylor and with all the sales and coupons only cost me $99! See how I styled it: here.

    Some other great quilted blue bag options I found are also reasonably affordable. I happen to have a love for Rebecca Minkoff, especially her handbags, so I fell in love when I found her ‘Affair’ bag in blue! You can get the large version with studs at either Nordstrom or Zappos, or the ‘mini’ version without studs at Nordstrom!

    If your a Michael Kors fan your in luck! Michael has a great quilted blue bag on sale at Piperlime for $213! I love the metal closure on the front and it’s also a perfect going out bag since it’s small and compact!

    Dog Days

    It’s another chilly day in the Big Apple today and that means time to wear one of my favorite things, a nice, cozy sweater!

    I scored this adorable ‘dog print’ sweater from Old Navy on clearance for $6! Talk about a steal!

    I paired it with black LC By Lauren Conrad pointe pants, my black faux fur Karen Kane vest and my favorite H&M black suede pumps. Apparently my dog, Charlie is a fan of them also considering he was drooling all over them when I was in the kitchen this morning!

    Happy Thursday Fashion Lovers & Stay Warm!

    Imagine being able to illegally download clothes into your closet.

    Anything from Chanel to Hermes in your closet at the click of a button? Oh what a wonderful place the world would be.

    Can some genius work on this idea? Possibly turn it into an app? Please and Thank You!

    A Bit of Blue & D’Orsay

    20131108-073654.jpg
    TGIF! I don’t know about you but I am thrilled its Friday and that means time for a 3 day weekend (since Monday is Veterans Day)!

    Today’s outfit once again breaks fashion rules. In the spirit of wearing white after Labor Day, I chose to rock these white ‘Rockstar’ skinnies from Old Navy. I love the fit of these, not to mention the fact that they only cost me $6 on clearance!

    A little piece of advice, always stock up on spring and summer clothes in the fall and winter season and vice versa. The sweater I’m wearing today I got at Old Navy two summers ago for $10…yes a total steal.

    I pulled the look together with casual black D’Orsay flats from the Nine West outlet (see link below for identical ones from Chinese Laundry at Nordstrom).

    To top it all off I rocked my new cobalt blue quilted leather bag I got on sale at Lord & Taylor! (Stay tuned for a lust vs. must post featuring the bag that inspired this purchase!)

    Now I’m off to another day in the chilly big apple!

    Happy Friday Fashion Lovers!

    White For Fall

    20131107-072954.jpg
    The old saying goes ‘You can’t wear white after Labor Day’, however being a breaker of most fashion rules, I decided that one of my fall ‘must haves’ is this chic white blazer from LC By Lauren Conrad.

    I love how it breaks up the look by adding a brighter tone rather than just plain black on black. I brightened the look up even more with an orange chiffon top from Old Navy.

    As always, you can never go wrong with a pair of classic black pants, especially ones that fit you well! I love these black work pants from Kohls!

    I also decided to do something a little different this morning and curl my hair!
