Completely crushing on...

What Goes Around Comes Around Natalia Jacket at Piperlime. I've been jonseing for a leopard print jacket for years and constantly check eBay & Etsy for vintage. I love the cut of this one, and that little collar treatment and the 3/4 sleeves gives it just enough character to almost appear vintage. Not so crazy about the price.

Even still. It's killing me.

I'm not even going to say it...

You know I'm going to say it. But before I do, let me tell you a story about a cardigan. I've been obsessing over a certain [color] cardigan from Nordstrom - the new Halogen Boyfriend. Looks cute, right? So last weekend, armed with a couple of Nordstrom Notes, I headed over there all pumped up to buy said cardigan. But when I tried it on, I was less than impressed. The color is not a real [blank], it's more of a goldish green. And the length was a little long on me (even though I'm nearly 5'6". Ok, 5'5" and three quarters, but we're going with 5'6"). I was so disappointed.

But of course, I couldn't let it go, no, I could not. I started combing online looking for a cute cardigan in a nameless color.

And then, on Sunday, in desperation, I succumbed to the Lands' End website. Where, low and behold, there is a YELLOW CARDIGAN AND IT'S ON SALE FOR $19.99.

Even with shipping it was only $25. And it's perfect. The sweater is totally lightweight (which is great for Southern California) and the tight vertical ribs are super slimming and keep their shape well. It was perfect with my GRAY TROUSERS.

My life is complete. Until the next obsession, of course.

Fall Style

It happens every year...I start to swoon over the same colors...gray and yellow. This year, the get-up is a little more professional. I already own the trousers and the buttondown, but I'm totally digging the cardi, and dammit, those shoes are killing me.

Window Shopping: Mad for Plaid

Really, nothing says Autumn like plaid, right? I love plaid, and yet, I have very little of it in my wardrobe. I think I might have to change that this season. And the weather gods have blessed us with a respite from the heat, we will have glorious temperatures in the 70's this week. But, as any Southern Californian knows, it will be short lived.

Lately, I'm gushing on this type of thing....
