Faux fabulous

Just wanted to share another great Real Simple slideshow with y'all-- this time it's a great little collection of faux fur pieces for fall, and many of them are affordably priced.

Still mad about plaid

I think a part of me will always love plaid. Maybe it's because something about it just screams fall to me?

Anyways, I am loving this plaid shirt dress from Old Navy right now.

Perfect with tights and boots. Need I say more?

NYCR Picks from the October 2009 Magazines

There were also lots of goodies in the October issues ... too many to count, actually!

From Glamour:

The Lisa for Loft bracelet to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation is everywhere right now, and with good reason -- it's super chic, it's a mix of tough and feminine, AND it supports a great cause for only $25.

This patent leather handbag that reminds me of a doctor's bag, in a bold purple.

The 'Fashion Under $50' section of their web site --- lots of great finds here.




It wasn't even featured in the magazine -- it was actually in an ad -- but this flutter sleeve dress from Target is a seriously adorable and feminine nod to Audrey Hepburn for only $29.

I love tops like this beaded tank -- simple, with an extra special little touch to make it stand out. And it's a nice piece to mix and match within your wardrobe for only $20.

We all know how fond I am of these ribbon-and-jewels bib necklaces because of how multipurpose they are -- they can be worn with both t-shirts and dresses and have the same effect! This style with its rose and gray tones has a real vintage feel to it, which I love.

I could totally see living in this cowl neck sweater during the winter months-- equal parts comfy and stylish.

I would expect a gorgeous ruffle tie-neck blouse like this to come from a store like Anthropologie, not from Victoria's Secret ... very unexpected.

From Lucky:

This vintage style blazer is exactly how Lucky describes it -- "uptown ladylike." I wouldn't have expected American Eagle Outfitters to offer such a sophisticated piece.

A good bohemian scarf can really finish off an outfit -- this printed one from Old Navy looks like it was plucked out of an old trunk somewhere.

I am digging the tough twist on this otherwise preppy miniskirt from Bebe, and it's on sale right now.

This is a great looking straw fedora-- loved the striped band. Reminds me of the Bailey hat I splurged on while I was in Venice Beach.

NYCR Picks from the September 2009 Magazines . . . Part Two

I just realized that I never really finished taking a look at all of the great offerings from the September magazines! Here's the 2nd installment in this series.


From Glamour:

This very tailored strapless dress from NY and Company was an editor's pick, and it's on sale now for $35.

A vintagey silver cuff bracelet that can give your outfit a little nod to Kate Moss' personal style. A great piece for $24.

A great studded satchel that will go with lots of different outfits, and it's under $50.

Or, if you're looking for a bag with a vintage sensibility to it, then this olive green shoulder bag is perfect. Rachel Bilson is pictured in the mag with a similar styled purse.

Is this plaid dress sexy secretary / Joan Holloway worthy or what?! And sheath dresses like this are pretty much universally flattering.

Lunch hour @ Payless

Q: What do you get when you mix 5 ladies, no desire to go back to the office after lunch, and a BOGO sale @ Payless?

A: A somewhat dysfunctional shopping experience.

Julie, in our first experiment of the afternoon, was looking for ankle boots -- everyone say hi to Julie. "Hi, Julie!"


This first pair had a nice and streamlined look to them, but Julie felt like they didn't have enough ankle support.


Next up, the Christian Siriano for Payless booties (on the right) are dead sexy, but unfortunately the heel is a tad too high. And by contrast, the buckled style (on the left) is a tad too chunky of a silhouette... don't you think?


These gray ones on the left are cute, too, but just not hitting quite the right note.



Next up is Krista, who found a kick-ass ruffled peep-toe heel for going out. A steal @ $25.



Now, it had to get silly at some point, so here we have Emily, who was fascinated (and a little confused, I think) by these hideous animal-print platform wedges. The only thing they seemed to "go with" is her scarf ... let's leave those right on the shelf where we found them!


Ditto with this studded number, unless she's planning on joining the KISS reunion tour.


This was Emily's reaction after seeing how they looked on her ... shoes shouldn't be so ridiculous that they make you burst out laughing ... that's a pretty good rule of thumb to follow.


In the end, the totally cute ankle boots that Julie tried on earlier ended up being a winner for Emily.


Tres tres chic, no?


In the end, Julie vetoed all of the ankle boot styles and is currently sporting these new ballet flats.



Does anyone else have crazy shopping adventures with coworkers on their lunch break?

Updates coming soon . . .

I am so sorry ... I've been a bad, delinquent little blogger :) Updates, especially my favorite picks from the October magazines, coming soon. Promise.
