2014 Trends!

Happy New Year! It's January 1st and time to start gearing up for the 2014 trends! Here are some thoughts...

 I think 2014 will the year of red! It was all over the runways and as winter lumbers on it's a good idea to have a vibrant hue to wear to cheer the spirits. And it doesn't have to be completely obnoxious.
Dorothy Perkins  The peplum isn't going anywhere this year so if you're a fan, great for you. If you're a thicker-waisted girl like myself, hang in there. 

ModCloth Also I'm thinking plaid will stay strong this year, yay!

Amazon Winter winds are blowing towards skorts this spring. I'm a bit trepidatious...


Shoe-wise revamped(if not slightly impractical) boots may be in store this winter. 

Fashion Union These are rough and tough (and red!) but the cutouts will not hold up in snowier climes. Oh well! Bust out this fierceness on more mild days. I'm loving the idea of an argyle knee-sock with these.

ModCloth This little kiltie toe detail will be seen, not just on boots, but pumps and flats in 2014, a little flair for you! 


Another shoe trend I'm seeing for this coming year is two-toned neutrals:

Piperlime  This graphic pump can add a simple, but sophisticated touch to finish off an outfit. 


I'm a big fan of vests and in this coming year the bigger the better!

A vest can add a layer of texture, color, and warmth, and help pull together a basic outfit of black trousers and a simple top. Wear it as a statement piece. 

This year you'll also see midi skirts, crop tops, and branding logos. I'd provide you with images but I'm a big hungover this New Year's day so you'll just have to trust me.  Happy New Year and Happy Outfitting!

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!

Nasty Gal

Since the weather has been horrible I've been consoling myself with online shopping. And have made my first purchase with Nasty Gal : Lacy Chiffon Blouse Yuma Studded Blouse Alva Knit Dotted Stud Blouse Apparently I'm having a button-up shirt craving. I think all three of these shirts could work with the sweater, which is an alternative to your basic pull-over and may be a bit too edgy for work. But, I'm thinking a conservative wool trousers would nicely balance it out.  And in writing this I've come to the realization that my work "uniform" for the rest of the winter will focus on mixing edgy pieces, (or items with unexpected details) with conservative basics.  That might not always actually happen, but it's a good starting off point in planning a week's office wear.  Okay, enough of my pontificating, go check out the sale over at Nasty Gal there are some great deals to be had.

Mid-Summer Sales!!!!

It's time for one of my all time favorite summer activities! No, not bbq and fireworks, but the mid-summer/4th of July sales!!! There are bargains to be had everywhere you turn and I've already scored some deals here this past week!  From Zara 's Sale: Waistband Trousers Oversized Tee From J.Crew : Linen Shorts Side-Slit Tee And a few pieces I'm thinking of from ModCloth : ModCloth T-Shirt Dress Chambray Tunic True, these pieces are a bit "basic" but I'm thinking of the 80/20 Wardrobe Plan . 80% of your closet serves as foundation/workhorse pieces with 20% consisting of statement, more fanciful items. Like this "coatigan" from Nasty Gal Wool Coatigan Just think how this coat/cardi hybrid will pop against the t-shirt dress above, and/or the grey pants and either t-shirt, for a solid 80/20 outfit!  Regardless of how you approach your mid-season shopping the point is to get up on the
