Outfit Post: White Linen Blazer

After an excellent Korean BBQ lunch, we stopped at the thrift store just to look around. I gave myself a $20 budget. What did I find? This super cute linen blazer. It was only $9.99!

Purse Essentials

Ever since middle school I've carried a "just in case" bag. A "just in case" bag is that little bag you have in your purse with things you carry "just in case." My bag tends to be bigger then most. In fact, some times my "just in case" bag is my entire purse.

What's in it?

A nail file

Clear nail polish. I wear nylons a lot for work and law school events.

Too Faced Runway Red Lipstick

One or more Lancome Juicy Tubes

Blistex Fruit Smoothies Chapsticks

Bandaids. For painful shoes. 

Tide To Go Stain Pen. For clumsiness.

Hair spray. Have you seen my hair?

Bath & Body Works Shea Cashmere Hand Cream

Oil blotting sheets from Sephora Collection

Bobby pins

Hair ties

Ear buds. Because sometimes you need to drown out the world.

Tester purfume

A mirror. This one is from NY&Co. It's a little beat up but I still love it.

(Also thrown in there for today -- nude lipstick and lip liner)

Yes, yes, I know. I am a bit OCD. But, I'm the one you come to when you rip your nylons or have a hang nail, right?

Outfit Post: Patent Leather Shoes

Not even hurricane Irene can stop me from wearing heels. If it's raining (and boy was it) I just wear patent leather heels. These happen to be my favorite. I hope the weather didn't ruin your weekend. Oh, and my shirt was steamed before (I promise) but I sat in class all morning before taking these pictures.

Fall 2011 Fashion Trends

A few days ago, I blogged about the 2011 fall beauty trends. Here are what I think the 2011 fall fashion trends are...

colored pants. The potential for color blocking is limitless. 

colors like emerald/jade, rust and gold/mustard

Fur. I am the most excited about fur. It's so elegant. I am definitely on the hunt for a faux fur stole.

Enjoy the weekend!

Monday was half-off at my favorite sushi place in town. It was a gorgeous day out (and by gorgeous I mean not a 100 degrees). I miss wearing cardigans. Can't wait for fall!
