But last night when was I bundling up for a evening out I realized my current black scarf was lame and have requested one for Christmas. But for those of you with a "give me a christmas list" types in your life...you know that you must be explicit with what you want or you will end up with something sketchy that you have to fake fondness for when you open it. So, my apologies for posting the fruits of my black scarf search labor, but these are the ones that I am hoping make their way under the tree for me.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c5I2lbYN9LI/STwBhP7Ih1I/AAAAAAAABEA/swA6Tdtgrto/s1600-h/jcrewmohairscarf.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c5I2lbYN9LI/STwBhP7Ih1I/AAAAAAAABEA/swA6Tdtgrto/s320/jcrewmohairscarf.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277094534093244242" border="0" /></a>This <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/accessories/hatsscarvesgloves/PRDOVR%7E10511/10511.jsp" target="_blank">mohair muffler scarf</a> doesn't scream "will keep your uber warm when its 20 degrees out", but it looks super soft and might be an excuse to get two.

I am loving lots of stuff the chain has to offer and this tee is the softest, most comfy, flattering t-shirt ever! It hits and fits just right and comes in a bunch of colors. I literally had to put two back down and settled on the orange and grey options. And if stripes aren't your thing, they have solids too. I have found they are perfect with jeans and can work under blazers and sweaters for work. Don't take my word for it...check them out yourself.

I used to work in pretty close proximity to one and a gal pal and I would lunch there and grab some good deals.

All of my options are lightweight fabrics that are best left for the warmer months. So this weekend, I am on the hunt. My husband is interested in doing a little fall wardrobe shopping himself, but I need to do some recognizance because he will want to hit four stores...J. Crew, Macy's, Levi's, and the Gap and then head home. If he finds items that work, super. If he doesn't, game over. That's not exactly how I work. I can't come home empty-handed. As such, early research for possibilities is crucial.<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255126569663310418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c5I2lbYN9LI/SO31xbJ_qlI/AAAAAAAABAU/pkkIt8EJIUw/s320/JCrewCityFitWatson.bmp" border="0" /> <p align="center"><br /><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/pants/stretchchino/PRDOVR~96107/96107.jsp" target="_blank">City Fit Watson Pant</a> - $59.50<br /><br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255126568983234850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_c5I2lbYN9LI/SO31xYn2iSI/AAAAAAAABAI/UcXtJ4PE0uo/s320/GapStraightLegPants.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><br /><a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=15683&pid=569967&scid=569967012" target="_blank">Straight Leg Pant</a> - $54.50<br /><br /><br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255126564753411746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c5I2lbYN9LI/SO31xI3YjqI/AAAAAAAAA_8/AxwzXKE8b1I/s320/STJohnsBayBootcutPants.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><br /><a href="http://www4.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?DeptID=50434&CatID=51236&GrpTyp=SIZ&ItemID=146e5b0&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CmCatId=504345043851236" target="_blank">St. John's Bay Boot Cut Pants</a> - $40.00<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255126563905083186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c5I2lbYN9LI/SO31xFtIFzI/AAAAAAAAA_s/WkwdsG6Mb7U/s320/DockersIconicFit.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><br /><a href="http://us.dockers.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2809546&cp=2271558.2293645&parentPage=family" target="_blank">Docker's Iconic Fit Pant</a> - $40.00<br /><br /><br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255126566323950450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_c5I2lbYN9LI/SO31xOt1E3I/AAAAAAAAA_0/8UNNcXmT9M4/s320/YaYaAflaloMillerMants.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://www.bluefly.com/YAYA-AFLALO-taupe-tropical-wool-Miller-pants/cat20174/210439100/detail.fly" target="_blank">Yaya Aflalo Miller Pants</a> - $119.99</div><p></p>LDBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09654271061300963466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474786248685451935.post-81614741742035132492008-09-22T07:00:00.003-04:002008-09-22T07:09:58.567-04:00Emmys Electric LadiesI don't normally post this type of thing, but I was really captivated by a few of TV's leading ladies gown choices from last night's Emmys. Here are my faves:<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248801028276179458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_c5I2lbYN9LI/SNd8udMbUgI/AAAAAAAAA_U/dv8h3n9hqS0/s320/brooke_shields_emmy2008.jpg" border="0" /><br />Brooke Shields - Absolutely stunning.

Either way, she rounds out my top 5.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">(images courtesy of People.com)</span>LDBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09654271061300963466noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474786248685451935.post-48936181063264595872008-09-21T09:03:00.011-04:002008-09-21T16:28:32.966-04:00Savvy Sale PiecesSadly I awoke way too early this morning and decided to use my early morning to scan sites for some online sales. The trick to buying sale items at this time of year is finding pieces that will can work for the early fall or that will work when spring comes back around.

But its never too early to at least check out a few chic options that you can keep in the back of your mind for when you do need to add that extra layer. I happen to be a bit of a coat hound. Every year I buy a new one (although last season I waited until the end of winter to grab a good deal). This year, I am focused on a belted pieces that look very lady-like. I could truly use a new black coat, but I seem to be drawn to "black with a twist".

So in addition to grabbing a few fashion-forward items at budget-worthy prices (see Shopping Blues post), adding updated accessories to the basics you already have might be a good Plan B. Items to consider include statement jewelry (think oversized cuffs and necklaces), purple shoes and bags, biker-inspired boots and bags, oxfords, and oversized clutches. Here are a few examples that won't break the bank.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246581092692451106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_c5I2lbYN9LI/SM-ZtMs23yI/AAAAAAAAA68/8xZhf6s9jHk/s320/BRMultilayerNecklace.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div><div align="center"><br /><div><a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=33425&pid=600856&scid=600856002" target="_blank">Multilayer Chain Necklace</a> - $49.00<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246582844479363538" style="DISPLAY: block;

The first being, their pieces have lots of personality. I also feel like (whether its actually true or not is another thing) that I don't run the risk of seeing stuff that I grab from Anthropologie on one of my friends. That's not to say my friends don't have great style, I just feel like its more likely to happen with stuff from J. Crew or the Gap. And finally, I always feel like their clothes are feminine without being too girly, which I absolutely love.
