Celine to dream about...

Here are some Celine bags to dream about. Start stashing money now in last years over-knee riding boots and perhaps by spring (which is what this collection actually is: Celine Spring 2013) you will be on your way. All images via purseblog.

Friday favorites

These are some of my favorite things this week.  Some high, some low.  I am loving the red right now. I would pair it with Tom Ford's lipstick in cherry Lush. I am loving these zara velvet pants too.  Great fit, flattering and so comfortable--very French.

Tres Chic not Tres Cher...

One of my skills as a stylist is finding the look that a client likes for much less money. I don't think anyone needs to spend a fortune to look fabulous. On more trendy items, especially when even the expensive ones are a faux material, there is no reason to break the bank.  Spend that money on a Givency bag and some Louboutin's instead. Check out this look for less:  

Clockwise from top left:
1.  Malene Berger jacket $795
2.  Express jacket $89 (with promotion on-line)
3.  Hudson jeans $209
4.  Express jeans $100 (with on-line promotion)

Here are some bags and shoes to make your Express finds look expensive. The express photo shoes above(bottom right)do not do those pants justice:

These are the items from the express store. These pants fit beautifully.  They run slightly small since they are a legging fit.  The Jacket runs big--if you are a small you are an XS at express.  A bargain and boosted self-esteem all in one stop!

Winter white

I love winter white jeans.  A flattering cut, a big cashmere sweater or jacket and a v-neck boyfriend t-shirt is one of my go to's. I also love the winter white jeans with booties.  Here are some looks:

What I am wearing on date night

I have a lovely friend and client who I recently finished styling and she asked me what I wear on date night. Since I LOVE fashion so much, I elaborated in probably way more detail than anyone would actually need.  Since I have been married almost 12 years, I want to be comfortable when I go out. No stilettos and mini's for this gal. Not to mention I am 5'9 and do not always want to tower like the Statue of Liberty. Here is what I wore to Nobu in Malibu last night:

Clockwise from top left:

1.  Ash&Co royal blue and gold shirt

2.  Hobo Lauren double frame Gold clutch

3.  Ann Taylor Loft Gold and nude belt

4.  Stuart Weitzman poco kitten heels in nude

5.  Vince stretchy skinny winter white jeans

As far as jewelry goes, I think on a night out it should be kept fairly simple. Less is more. Here are some ideas:

Clockwise from left:

1. Stella and Dot Bardot Hoops

2. Stella and Dot Serenity Small stone drops Lapis

3. Stella and Dot Lakra Bangle

4. Stella and Dot Renegade cluster bracelet

In love with this at Anthropologie and how to wear it

I was in Anthropologie today and found this shirt.  I am obsessed with the cut, the turquoise with yellow rimmed buttons.  I would lose the statement necklace because I think the shirt is enough on its own: Already its own statement. Here is how I would wear it:

Graphic prints and sea green jeans

I love the combination of the sea green and the graphic black and white print.  This is a striking look that is so visually appealing.
