Spikery Binx Scarf

Outfit: Scarf - Jason Wu for Target, Shoes - Deena and Ozzy, Jacket - Versace for H&M


Greeting for snowy Salt Lake City everyone!

I am so excited because I will be spending the next two weeks with Ryan celebrating Valentine's Day and our five year anniversary. I am just getting over a sickness so the blogs have been scarce, but I am finally feeling better and back at it.

The cat scarf I am wearing is another little treasure I picked up at Target from the Jason Wu collection. Can you believe they only held three in the entire store? I love square scarves like this that you wear in an upside down pyramid around your neck. It's a fun shape and these scarves tend to be more versatile from fall to winter to spring because they are made of a lighter material. I own several scarves with this shape.

In an attempt to not buy any new clothing while I am here, I completely overpacked. I'm not exaggerating when I say my suitcases are completely stuffed. We will see how well this works out :)

Jason Wu for Target and the 70's

Outfit: Sweater - Free People, Boots - Ecote, Headband - H&M, Watch - Michael Kors

Another day, another dollar (spent that is). Jason Wu for Target was released today . If you aren't familiar with Jason Wu, he designs many dresses worn by our First Lady, Michelle Obama. He knows a women's body extremely well, which is well displayed in the line he did exclusively for Target. I arrived at 6:30am this morning to Target and was so happy to be the first in line. 

If there is one thing I have learned from standing in line for exclusive clothing lines it's this: the few people either in front of you or in back of you in line are your friends NOT your enemies. I immediately made friends with the five people who trickled in behind me. We shared the items we had to have (and our sizes) and made a game plan on which items we were all going to grab. After the initial rush we met up and divided up our sizes and items we wanted. It worked flawlessly. As it did when Naz and I were at Versace also. 

I can't wait to take pictures and share with you all what I got. Make sure to "LIKE" my Facebook page to see a preview. 

I love this outfit I posted. I have so much fun taking the fashion of other eras and putting a slightly modern twist on them. In fashion, it's not always about looking to the future for inspiration, but also looking back into the past. Just some food for thought :)

Versace Skirt

Outfit: Skirt - Versace for H&M ($130), Heels - Jessica Simpson ($20), Necklace - H&M ($18)

The moment the lookbook for the Versace collaboration with H&M was released, I knew I would be buying this silk studded skirt. The pictures are amazing, however, I wish you could see this skirt in person because the way it sparkles and moves is absolutely stunning. I have a few skirts with this shape, but there is something about the way this skirt flows is different. It may be the combination of the silk and the weight of the studs. No matter what it is I love it. So far, I have only worn this skirt with solid black, but I can't wait to try it with other combinations. I think it will be one of those pieces will go with many more tops than I thought.

Speaking of collaborations, Jason Wu for Target is about to be released on February 5. Images from the collection have been released on the internet and I am getting very excited. Everything is under $60 and it could not be cuter! I am in love with the navy dress and flower satchel.

Are you lusting after this collection, too?

Versace for H&M

Today is the day guys! I start my 18 hour camp out in front of H&M to scoop up the very limited Versace goods. Please make sure you are following me on both Facebook and Twitter, as I will be posting updates on the project I am calling, "Occupy H&M" with none other than, Naz Isik.

Wish me luck!

I Love My...Leopard Sweater

      

 

Outfit: Sweater - H&M ($15), Boots - Steve Madden ($40), Skirt - American Eagle - ($30)

I don't know if you guys have noticed yet, but I'm kind of a sucker for anything and everything leopard. I think it stems back to my Step-mom, Mary Lou's, abundant collection of leopard apparel. It's a good thing I love leopard so much because it is a print that has been in style for years and I am fairly positive it will be chic for hundreds of years to come. So basically, I see all my leopard pieces as an investment. 

I bought this leopard sweater at H&M last winter on sale for $15 and while I LOVE the big, bold leopard print, it's an added bonus that the fit is perfect. I also love the way my cowboy booties go with them. You wouldn't normally except to pair cowboy boots with a leopard print, but works somehow. And I am all for interesting, yet chic, combinations. 

How many of you guys are camping out for Versace at H&M tomorrow? Naz and I will be first in line if it is the last thing we do! We wouldn't want a repeat of the Lanvin fiasco last year...
