Preppy McPrepperson

I love how this ring has a class ring kind of vibe. And the bow of this bracelet is so delicate.

Yes my lovelies, LEOPARD PRINT!!!(or is this cheetah? Oh well they are still fierce)

trench-Asos(similar here), shirt/scarf-Ralph Lauren, sweater/trousers-Jcrew,

shoes-DSW(similar here), bracelet/ring-JewelMint bag-Coach

This outfit is very preppy-sophisticated-grownup-lady if I do so so myself. I am loving this shirt from Ralph Lauren, more on that to come. Also the scarf is such a statement piece without being too in your face. With this luxurious silk scarf, wool trousers and my fancy smancy handbag I'm ready to be a Lady who Lunches.

Hey, wait! Before you think I'm becoming a snob, allow me to let you in on a little secret.... All the Jcrew, Coach and Ralph Lauren items were purchased at the outlet and factory stores for those brands! And on weekends Jcrew Factory is available for online purchases, so if you're unable to hit up the outlets you can still grab some great pieces at a discount. So now you know, go forth and make Outfits!

40 Year Old Cottagecore

dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids. I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that. Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns! Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans. Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please! Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast. Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut. Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton . What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years... FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal! ...

Rent the Runway Wedding Vote

I may be on vacation at the moment, but I'm thinking of the future, in particular the wedding I'm attending back home next month. A ton of high school friends will be there. Some I am dying to hang out with, while others I'm hoping to make a bit jelly... Regardless, an outfit is required. I mentioned the idea of wearing a summer suit in this post . But now I'm feeling more of killer-blow-them-away dress. I'm also thinking I may have to call in the big guns and utilize the services of Rent the Runway . 1. Elie Tahari Love the pattern here. The user reviews & pics lead me to believe this will be quite flattering on my body type. 2. Kate Spade This is so groovy and I love the use of a statement necklace in this look. But, I'm wondering if I'm not attracted to the overall styling of the picture for the website or if I really like the dress on its on. 3. Milly ...
