work it wednesday (on Thursday)!

Again... Wednesday just blew right past me and here I am on Thursday still pining for a Work it Wednesday, how about you?

I am going to go super basic... the easiest of the easiest, the most comfortable of all, the classic, the timeless:

the white t-shirt.

Who doesn't just love a white tee? Especially when the temps soar I just love the feeling of a simple white t-shirt on my shoulders (tanned, of course!). Always in style, but need not be boring:

February Finds... 12!

This clock rocks! Literally.

It has a unique side to side rhythm that keeps the beat with the clock. I have never seen anything like this, but thought it was SO cool! Its not cheap unfortunately, the clock retails for $1,300 (but is now on sale at ModernFurniture.com
for only $910.)

fight the winter blahs...

Here is some peachy goodness to fight the winter blahs and to get a conservative start on spring... layers are the key for warmth and to keep the look "in season". And with Valentine's just around the corner... the heart-ed handbag is a romantic touch of whimsy! And of course, you know me, it isn't an outfit without a pair of sevens. My daily uniform of choice.

rainbow inspiration...

My four year old son asked me today, "when do the rainbows come back?" - the kid is obsessed with spring and summer. And with windchills at or below zero and feet (not inches!) of snow on the ground, who could blame him. Here's some rainbow inspiration... similar to one I did in patent recently.

What are you loving on these days?

Fashion Friday... a touch of spring!

In the coming weeks the stores will be flooded with early spring styles... so if you are going to be doing any clothing shopping soon, you'll need to integrate some of these spring looks into your winter wardrobe with out them looking like they are aliens from another planet. Before my husband and I had kids, when we could do whatever we wanted and had two unrestricted incomes... ahhhh, the days... we would take an annual trip to Chicago for Valentine's weekend for romance, relaxation and of course shopping! Except that navigating clothing retailers in February can be tricky. They were ready for spring, but the wind chills aren't.

Here's an outfit idea using the handbag featured earlier this week that will bring a touch of spring into your winter wardrobe!

Inspired by Patent

I just LOVE patent... I have three pairs of shoes and three handbags in beloved patent. Here's some more inspiration from across the spectrum - I'll take one of each Santa!


Purely Patent by Jill GG

Are you inspired by patent? If so leave a comment and show me how!

Lovin' Gold.

It's not too hard to find great gold items these days... gold is officially BACK! Here are a couple that are particularly inspiring...

A little bit of Marc for all budgets!

Do you swoon and slurp over Marc Jacobs like me? Seriously... this design label can do no wrong in my eye. I love a designer that has a bit of an edge and whimsy, but in the end still maintains a classic and ready-to-wear feel. My days are busy, and sometimes a little crazy, but never do they involve cat-walks. Bummer, I know. But I don't think I am alone in that. Catwalks? Anyone? Anyone? That's what I thought.

Here I've compiled some GREAT Marc Jacobs bags at ALL price points.
Really, you say?
Really.

$, Marc by Marc Jacobs, So Real Groovee, $69.99 (from $98)
I don't think it is possible to not like this bag - it's a bit tongue in cheek... a bag with a, ahem, bag printed on it? Whatever you want to call it, I like to call it cute. And versatile... to tote around kids stuff, your stuff, groceries, flea market finds - you name it.


$$, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Totally Turnlock Teri, $239.99 (from $438)
This handbag has a classic and understated feel to it - with the a funky "MARC JACOBS" lined interior. I really love this color, Elderberry, because it hints at purple which is so hot this season but it isn't PURPLE... if you know what I mean.


$$$$, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Strippy Zippy Tote, $528
If you are in the market for an upscale carry-all tote. This is it. I am absolutely in love with this bag, I will admit it's a bit expensive - but hello gorgeous!
