Closet Feind!!!

The Holidays are right around the corner
 ... thanksgiving ...Xmas
I CANT WAIT!!!!!
 
Yes my lovelies!!! its that time of the year again!!!! We've traded in the flip-flops and swimsuits for some boots and warm sweaters!!!
YAY!!!
As much as I complain about the change of weather this time of year here in MA, I love the shopping opportunities it brings!!!!!
 
So today I'm here to talk about
OFFICE LOOKS
The fall is the perfect season for anyone who works in an office and this year is no exception whether you're business casual or corporate chic  I've got you covered.

Mondays are usually tricky wardrobe wise because you just came off the weekend and you don't want to roll in to the office looking like you rolled in to the office LOL. So a easy cure for "the Mondays"  is A DRESS!!!  It basically makes you look like your making an effort without actually making an effort. I mean... Lord know you haven't even had coffee yet!!!!
 
 
 
 
 
The first option is more casual.  A cute dress with a nice print that I got at H&M. As you can see i belted the dress, it doesn't come with a belt, but because i'm a big girl the belt accentuates my curves and shows off my hour bass shape :) .I paired the dress with a cozy sweater from Marshalls, some cute "make my legs look good" boots, a cute bag. Scarf optional!!  Add your shades and some cute accessories and you have yourself a great Monday!!!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
For the girl who has everything... I give you Monday look #2! If you have an early meeting, or if your boss is going to be the first person you see on monday... This is the option for you!!! it screams I KNOW WHAT IM DOING AT ALL TIMES!!!!! lol. its the same dress from H&M (belted!!) paired with a peach colored blazer to bring out the fall colors of the dress. Basic black pumps(these are from charlotte russe) and a polished bag. Scarf is also optional with this look. keep the accessories to a minimum.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
Since ou pulled off monday without breaking a sweat the rest of the week will be a breeze.

 
Tuesday!
 
If the vibe in your office is not very corporate, you can do this outfit two ways. 1) As you see it! the lone sleeve black T (Old Navy) solid colored skirt(Forever21) black tights, colorful scarf(Zac Posen), Black blazer, basic black pumps and black bag.
OR!!!!!  You can choose to wear either the tights or the blazer depending on how cold it is outside or how dressy you want to go.
This look warrants bagels and long necklaces.
 
The more corporate option would be:
. Long sleeve black T
. Colorful scarf
. Grey Pencil skirt(Target)
. A polished bag (shoe dazzle)                                                                                                                                                                        . Basic black pumps    
 
 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Wednesday!!!! The weekend is so close you can taste it!!!!
  
You can relax! Its Hump day!!!!!
 Trouser jeans are great for the office (Target)
 A paterned tank (wet seal)
Now if your going a bit more casual pair it with a sweater, less casual, blaze it up!!!
A pair of black ballerina flats (H&M)
 A black bag
A chunky scarf (H&M) pull your wednesday look together!!!!!      
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Thursday!!!! or as the French say... Jeudi....
Light, breezy... care free... all in the name.... JEUDI lol
I am Loving the new breezy top out now and this one from Old Navy works great!!!! Paired with some black pants, a dark or nude tank underneath, some black flats, your trusty black bag and a scarf  and you have conquered the thursday closet monster!!!!!!  The accessories you use for this outfit will determine how casual or not you want to take the outfit.       
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            FRIDAY!!!!!! WOOP!!! WOOP!!!!!!
WE MADE IT!!!!! The week is done!!!! You deserve a break!!!! LOL
   
My friday look is fun, edgy and a little flirty just in case your going out after work, with      friends or on a date.
  Start with a fun tank. Here I have this cute sparkly one(forver21)
  Black denims(Miley Cirus/MaxAzria)
  Black Construction boots and a detailed Jacket give it the look and edge
  A cozy scarf softens it a bit and you trusty black bag. If you want to dress this look up swap  the construction boots for riding boots to pumps.
AND VOILA!!!!! You are ready for you day and your night out!!!!!
 
 
 
 
This concludes our broadcast for this blog!!!! LOL
Have fun with your closet, There is so much in there that you can work with. these are just a few from mine.

Sole Mates...

I have died, gone to sole heaven and met my shoe mate!!!
Sole Society is the love child of Department Store Nordstrom and online store Haute Look.. calling it a shoe store wouldn't do it justice. Its your personal shoe psychic, predicting 6 selections every month from the fabulous Marco Santi collection.
What is Sole Society? you may ask, well in truth,they is a monthly personalized shoe club that provides designer quality, on-trend shoes selected just for you based on your Style Bio.


I have been with quite a few of these shoe clubs for a while now and I must say Sole Society's selects for me are very accurate. I have yet to be disappointed, which is a lot more than i can say for some of the other ones.


Their quiz is very fun and easy to take and you get a selection after 24hrs. The membership is $49.95, it about 10 bucks or so more than the average but the shoe quality you get speaks for itself. Shipping doesn't take long at all and if it does, from my experience, they give you a $10 credit toward your next purchase to make up for it!! And when you get your shoes in the mail they are so carefully wrapped... you think your getting a christmas present!!!


Every month I get at least one treat from Sole Society.
These are my last 2 gifts




THEY LOOK GREAT ON!!!
So if your like me and you have a tiny shoe obsession, you should give Sole Society a try. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Let me know what you think of their selections and where you wore you first pair.

I will be posting some outfits that I have put together with my SS shoes soon.








Until next runway babes!!!!


Turning Japanese!!!

IT'S FINALY HERE!!!!


Uniqlo is the like the Japanese version of United Colors of Benetton with a bit of an edge.
If you follow japanese fashion, u'll know that they are not that NEW, but for the US, Uniqlo is the "NEW!NOW!NEXT!"
Describing the style in the store is like if "UCB & American Apparel had a baby and the baby had a kid with H&M"
I like Japanese style, i think they take risks and they aren't afraid of color.

Uniqlo has stores all over the world and they feature the +J Fall/Winter 2011 Collection which has FIECE winter coats.
   
They are opening 3 stores here in the US in NYC (of course!!)
UNIQLO 34TH STREET ST
ORE (Opens 10/21)
UNIQLO 5TH AVENUE STORE (Opened 10/14 at 12pm)
NY SOHO STORE
Check out the website see what they are about (http://www.uniqlo.com/us) and for sure check out the stores next time ur in New York.

MY PPLE!!! I GIVE U!!!
UNIQLO!!!!!!!

Later!
Until next runway!!!!!!
