Trend to Try: Stacked Bracelets

One great trend is stacked bracelets.  It's super simple and doesn't require buying any new accessories.  All you have to do is start layering bracelets you already have.  Start with a menswear inspired watch and pile on the bracelets.  Have some fun: mix metallics, material, etc! Here is a little inspiration for this trend to try:

Shoe Envy

How many Louboutins can a girl own?! I think Khloe Kardashian is the new Imelda Marcos. Here are a few snapshots of her drool worthy shoe collection:

Ombre Obsession

While I have spent many a’hours swooning after Drew Barrymore’s ombre hair – I have noticed that this ombre trend has infiltrated many more areas.  Here are just a few areas this ombre obseesion has overtaken:

In our hair:

On our nails:

In our home:

On our feet:

In our food:

On the street:

 On the runway:

So what do you think of this ombre obsession? Are you on team ombre or team n'ombre?

Is it Friday Yet?

So today I am sick....how one gets sick in 100 degree weather, I do not know. I think it may have something to do with the fact that the tempeture in the office is about 55 degrees and the tempeture outside is 100 degree.  That can't be good for ones health. Anyway, in spite of feeling like I have grown a tennis ball in my throat - my wonderful boyfriend came home after a whole 8 days away! So while I am sitting in my office attempting to be a productive human being (and failing miserably!) I would much rather be speding time with him before he has to go back medical school!

Can't Wait For Paper Crown

So after another embarrassing hiatus I am back.  I return with some exciting news to share - Lauren Conrad's new line "Paper Crown" will be carried at Nordstroms, Ron Herman and Planet Blue!! The close proximity of these stores to my house is good news for my closet.....buuut bad new for my wallet. Her fall line will be in stores in just a few short weeks! I love all things Lauren Conrad (post reality tv stint, of couse) and I have been drooling over the Paper Crown lookbook for a few months.  Her fall line strikes the perfect balance with muted nuetrals, classic lines, and features some great trends: oversized blazers, leather, and the panama hat - what's not to love? Well on that happy note, I wish you all fantastic weekend and leave you with some shots from her lookbook - ENJOY!
