yes, please...

There's nothing like a little handbag eye-candy to make a gloomy winter day bright! I'm loving some of these new selections from Coach...

(leopard)

(pink)

(zebra)

yes, please...

Just found these gorgeous boots on sale for less than $40 on Piperlime! Wow... what a deal. They come in black and brown, I'm loving the brown!

(buy here)

yes, please!

I found these adorable shoes at Target earlier this week, I didn't pick them up... because, hello? What are adorable sandals doing in Target in the dead of winter? What a tease! But I can't stop thinking about them and they were only $20 (well, technically $19.99)... are they SO cute or what? I think I'll go back for the dark brown pair. Whaddya say?

Plus, is it just me or are shoes with REALLY high heels easier to walk in when they have an ankle strap? Yeah, totally.

yes, please.

Earlier this week I had the sheer luck of getting to trot through Target with no kids - that is like the holy grail for errand running, no? I happened upon a lot of things... but I checked out this coat and loved it the minute I saw it. Then my "practical" side started telling me how silly it would be to buy a fake fur leopard print jacket - not to mention mere days before I head off on vacation (read: money should go elsewhere).

But imagine this: I woke up this morning and couldn't stop thinking about it. Paired with skinny jeans and flats and my hair up in a bun... heck I wouldn't even have to wear a shirt - well, err, I *WOULD* but I am just saying: it's that easy!



Seriously, I am in love with it! (Target, $44.99)

I have some big stuff in the works for when I return from Vegas... a new winter looks:book and a super secret new project as well. Maybe it can be my reward after getting both those things off the ground.... just maybe!

yes, please!

You are living under a rock if you don't know that I just love clogs for fall... I have a pair of the UGG clogs and wear them constantly! I just love them... If I didn't have that pair... I would for sure buy these (they are about half the price of the UGG's!)

Gap, $79.50

They come in four colors too!

yes, please.

For the most part I love gold accessories lately... they are warm and feel cozy and seem to be enjoying their time in the spotlight. But with my new silver TOMS hanging around... I seem more and more drawn to silver. During my recent internet wanderings, there were quite a few silver items that caught my eye - hopefully enjoy the inspiration as much as me!

Sheer Sleeve Dress, Topshop, $100

Skinny Metallic Belt, Banana Republic, $29.50

Infinite Scarf, Piperlime, $51

Marc by Marc Jacobs Tote, Bluefly, $96

Penny Loves Kenny Flat, DSW, $49.95

yes, please.

I die for these shoes... so not practical for my life right now, but so coveted all the same.



(Forever 21 [of course!], $27.80)

yes, please...

Chain purses for fall... I am just LOVING this classic and sophisticated look. Click the picture for details!

Shoulder Bags by Topshop
Satchels at Endless.com

yes, please.

i adore this dress. that's all.



wouldn't it be perfect for fall?

bling, baby!

It's my birthday... let's bling this baby OUT! Ready?

Hot, hot, hot! Less than $40 at Express. Take THAT 32.


When I make it big, Michael Kors will be a guest on my show, or column, or vlog or maybe... here someday on the blog! That guys just GETS it. Less than 80 bones.


I love the idea of this top with jeans, some rockin' shoes and no other accessories... very chic. Arden B, $59.


Gorgeous JCrew sequined fun. Right here. The ouch factor on this is about $600. Yipes, but gorgeous!


Purple sequins from Coach. Yes, and yes. Super cute... the modern day heel-clickers. They are only $79, not so bad.

Take that 32. Although I would say I am aging like a fine wine... or aging with fine wine, which one is it? oh, who am I kidding... I'll take either!

Friday ramblings...

Did you check out the "it" list yet this morning? Man... good stuff there. While my brain, computer and body were busy "birthing" that stunning post this week - I feel like the blog got neglected a bit. Although not NEARLY as bad as my house... sheesh! Oh, and did I mention that I have house guests coming for the weekend this evening. My husband is so not thrilled right now... why? Not because the house is a mess... but because he knows he's gonna have to help! Eep!

But let's forget all of that for now... I've got some lovelies that have been on my brain this week. In no particular order:

TOMS finally (FINALLY!) launched their wedge shoe. And, hello... I die! I'm giving this shoe one very excited "yes, please"! Nordstrom's is carrying them for $68.95 (in two colors) and TOMS Shoes website for $69 (in 6 colors I think). The only hard part is deciding which color!


Call me crazy, but I really want to get my hands on some jeggings... (you know jean-leggings?) - I tried some on recently that were too thin - lesson learned. But definitely am on the hunt for a thicker pair. Looks like the cheaper stores like F21 & Charlotte Russe don't have them yet - or at least not online. I figured summer would be a good time to try them out, you know "skin is in", errr, tightly woven fabric, tightly over skin. That doesn't sound as great as it should, huh?


Speaking of TOMS, I am severely wanting the silver ones... mostly after seeing how Style your Life styled hers. Yep, that's me, a big fat copy cat. I don't care. They are adorable!


Introduce me to a bib necklace and I will probably fall in love. This one is no exception... just lovely!


After my dad spoiled me with a Coach purse for Christmas AND Mother's Day (am I one lucky gal or what???) I am a bit hooked. My next conquest? This lovely lilac bag... dad, are you listening?


Scarves with pom poms are not only so sweet you want to pinch them, but are actually popping up on store shelves so fast it will make your head spin. How cute is this green one? It's less than $20 at Old Navy. Sure!


Cheap sandals from Forever 21 are my new favorite. Last seasons (here) got a ton of use for the $8 or so I spent on them. (I should mention here than I had a rather nasty spill down the stairs in those... it's debatable if me or the sandals were to blame... but everything was fixed with some Gorilla Glue - the sandals, not me - and we lived happily ever after). Any who, these are the ones I want this year. $15 - that's it! Love them!


Gap(RED) always has cute graphic tees... this lil hippy chick is so cute and I am loving the coral color. Simple and easy for summer!


Have a super fab weekend! Any big plans?

yes, please.

I love this watch... and it's on sale (only a bit, but still). Wouldn't it be perfect for summer... I'm picturing it on my tanned wrist.

Fossil, Blue Nile, $75.27 (from $95)

yes, please.

How great is this clutch?


But wait, it gets better... it comes in TWO color ways!


Um, yes, please!

smitten.

I am completely smitten with this cardigan... how cute would it be with white jeans or shorts?



It's not usually the type of thing I am drawn to... must be all this sunshine!

yes, please.

I am swooning for these jeans...

I told my husband I think I have a denim addiction. He informed me that it's actually a "shopping" addiction. Oops.

Addiction or no, what I DO have is a 40% off coupon to Gap. Ahem.

yes, please.

I've been wanting some new necklaces that are ultra bold/chunky for spring. Wouldn't this be a fun one with a tee or a tank? And perhaps some sun-kissed shoulders?

yes, please.

Don't you love these little morsels that I am always tempting you with?

This is so adorbs. I mean, come on. How sweet?

yes, please. (with a cherry on top)

Old Navy always pulls out a few WOWZERS every season...

These shoes go in the double-yes-please with a cherry AND sprinkles on top.



Each...



and...



every style.

And POW! The are all under $25 each. (Also, btw, I saw them IRL and they are just as cute.) (Also, apparently this blog has turned into text message type.) TTYL. BRB. FYI. (that's all I know for text message type... what are some other good ones?)

yes, please

Isn't this just TOO cute!?!?

yes, please

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this top... isn't it adorable. Love it with the jeans they show as well... it would be so perfect with a boyfriend blazer and some simple flats.
