Make a statement: gild+noir

Im loving this look - mixed with traditional white stones and gold. Ladylike glam turns a bit street edgy. Black is so tres chic in a gem stone and a nice departure from the classic. Madewell has this look mastered, but you can also pick up vintage look-alikes at your local flea! (I flea or raid my grandma's costume jewelry stash)

Aug-tober Fashion Wish List

Its Aug-tober in Seattle. The weather is cold and dreary. Newstands are filled with “Fall Fashion” issues. My inbox is full of End of Summer sale deals and Halloween decor is being sold at my local markets. All of these subliminal messages are making me yearn for the cool cozy weather of fall!

So whats on my wish list?

• Roomy Sweaters (Stella does this well)
• Skinnies (Target, Old Navy, Barneys - this you can trade down)
• Grey Jersey Sweatshirt (preferably Vince)
• Motorcycle boots (Madewell!)
• Plaid Button down (again you can trade down on this)
• Satchel Handbag (Mui Miu is my fav this season)
