sunday style

Really loved Akris's spring show for 2011. So many of the spring collections were so packed with brights and patterns that it felt a little overwhelming. Loved the simplicity of these looks and the pops of colors and the SHOES! I would buy those wedges in every color. If the budget would allow of course.

just missing paris...

that's all.

Everyone in New York commutes. Even if you live in Manhattan, getting to-and-from work here is a process. Most likely you have a short walk to the train, and then a short walk from your stop to where you work. My commute is, including my stop at the deli for my iced coffee, about a 35 minute process. So, it makes sense that your commute would require a "pump up-get ready to greet the day" kind of play list. Thought I would share with you my current line up for the A.M.

Okay, so her real name isn't Rachel, but this girl is "Rachel-in love with Fin-obsessed with the spotlight-going to be on broadway someday!"

also my favorite...

"Rachel-of course she's wearing leopard print, because it's so hot for the fall-Has to reproduce-One Rachel Zoe is not enough-I die!"

And number three...drumrolll......

"Rachel-I can teach you how to cook in thirty minutes-or eat out for $30 a day-and I'm excited about it!"

Not so much a favorite, but I'm making thirty minute meals all over the place, so she has made my life a better one.

big spend e r

We had a huge sale recently in the shop. A great sale! A never-ending, exciting sale!

A $30,000 sale.

The husband smiles at me as I bring out the receipt for him to basically sign his life away. He had been lounging for a couple of hours downing cappucinos while his wife tried on everything in the store. He then turns to his wife, still smiling, and says, "Your horse better win his race in Kentucky this weekend, darling! Ah ha ha ha." I watch them leave chuckling, as I think to myself, "What I would do with $30,000. Oh wait, that's essentially my yearly salary. Must be nice!"

That's all. Just a thought to ponder.

fall palet t e

 

Everyone knows that when going to view the newest season's color palette, pantone knows! I just printed off fall's palette so that i can be looking for the key colors when browsing my bargains at h&m, forever, ect.It makes it easier be in the latest when you know the color trends, as well as silhouettes because you may have these colors in your closet already, just waiting to be pulled out! Gotta love girls on a budget.

I loved the colors and was feeling a little inspired, due to a trip to the MoMA yesterday, so I played around with some patterns. You have the ever classic fall plaid, along with something vintage inspired, and something that's just fun!
