So, my hubby and I have been "designing" our closet (our room is somewhat non-existent right now as it is in the midst for a complete do-over!). Because of the lack of closet, I can honestly say I have been less than enthusiastic about adding too much new stuff when I'm barely finding room to store what I have now. BUT....since completion is near (and it's finally beginning to feel like Fall!) I thought now would be a good time to start incorporating the pieces I've been thinking about. So here's some of my recent finds!
1. Tweed Blazer
I already have a camel colored tweed blazer with a cool herringbone pattern, but I really liked the colors in this one! Purple is a huge color for Fall and I think the overall color of this coat is perfect for a pop and will def amp up any t-shirt and jeans combo I wear. And for a night out, I think this will totally rock with a sleek pair of leather shorts!
2. & 3. Lush's It Started With A Kiss
Last week my bestie and I were in LA for Fashion Weekend and we popped into the Lush store in Santa Monica. OMG! I am in LOVE with that store and cannot wait to go back!! We both purchased this sweet little lip balm that is awesome! As you can see, it gives your lips this wonderfully stained look, kinda like you've been eating a cherry popsicle! and it smells like a yummy vanilla cupcake! Also purchased was the Buffy Bar, which is sadly already gone. It did not last me long at all but that's ok. While it was here, it was the most awesome thing ever! Use it the shower to exfoliate, rinse off and pat dry. No need for lotion!! My husband actually asked if I was loofah-ing cause he said my skin was so soft and smooth! LOL!!!
4. YSL Nail Lacquer in No. 65
Another little gem I picked up while in Los Angeles. In the pic it looks like a deep berry red, but in person it's simple a beautiful classic red. I've yet to try it but I'll post a pic when I do!!
5. Khaki Button Down (F21)
It looks kinda plain jane just hanging here, but I loved the big batwing sleeves and the generous cut of this khaki button down. The material is a lightweight sheer silk and looks effortless. I've already worn it with black leggings and black round toe heels but I think it will equally great with skinny jeans, heeled granny boots and bunchy socks! Because of it's roomy cut, I think I'll also try layering this over a chunky turtle neck sweater or a cozy flannel.
6. Black & White Cardigan (F21)
I fell in love with this cardi for 2 reasons: the classic color combo and the batwing sleeves (what can I say, I love the batwings!). I'm loving this sweater right now! It reminds me a cross between a boyfriend sweater because of the cut but the 3/4 sleeves with ruching down the sides feminize it a bit more. Needless to say, I think this will get a lot of wear time.
7. Cap Toes and Chains
I've been wanting a pair of black and white cap toes since last winter but I have a hard to time straying away from my signature boots ;). So, last week I popped into Kohl's to pick up some stuff for my little ones and saw these on the shoe's clearance aisle. Originally $56, they were marked down to $14!!! Seriously, how could I pass them up?! I think they will look so cute with my rolled boyfriend jeans, little skirt or dress! Next to them is a few "necklaces" I picked up...or rather components of. I've seen so many of these on posts and I absolutely love! My BF posted about some she picked up at Charlotte Russe but when I went in (and I did, specifically for this reason!) they didn't have any longer! Lot's of people are making these and selling so I figured, well I do need a new hobby, so I got the tools to try making my own. I haven't actually made anything as of yet because I haven't had the time but stay tuned!!! I'm really excited to try and see what I can "design"!
