winter white

Happy Fashion Friday!

Think that a white wardrobe has to end after labor day? No way Jose! As a matter of fact, white is my favorite wardrobe year round. Maybe not white jeans in the winter, but certainly white and off-white coats and sweaters – big fan! Looking forward to the change of season so that I can play with a change in wardrobe and pull out my winter whites 🙂

I just bought a new bag from where else…Fleur de Lis. I love it. My favorite part – the tassel. I am not typically a tassel gal, but I’m really into it right now. I may add luxurious trim in all areas of my life such as…

missoni for target

Exciting news for you fashionista’s on a budget…THE luxurious Italian designer that I LOVE, Missoni, is now designing a 400-piece collection for Target. Missoni is affordable…what? Yes, you heard me. YOU can buy some cute things without going into serious debt. Glad I spent a fortune on a Missoni scarf in Italy a year ago {with the horrible exchange rate}. If I only knew…

 Below are some of my faves from the line. Mark you calendar for Sept. 13 when the collection is on sale – it only lasts until October 22 or until supplies are gone. Clothing and home decor {$30 for pillows, $13 for towels, dishes from $3-$20}…I know I’ll be in line at my local Target.

another anniversary to note

I’ve been celebrating another anniversary this past week…a special one that comes once a year…the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Next season on sale NOW. Gotta love that, especially at a place like Nordstrom where the word “sale” does not often appear.

I’m a total Nordy’s girl, so I’ve been scoping out the sale online and in the stores. Here’s the {reasonable} things I’ve been eyeing. The {unreasonable…or in other words, way out of my budget} items is a whole different post, but believe me, I have some noted.

If you haven’t already been, make yourself a hot date at Nordy’s and go NOW. You deserve it. Items will go back to their original prices August 1.

Happy shopping.

Steve Madden Miidori Buckles Boot, $129.90

Vince Camuto Jerrell Bootie, $89.90

Vince Camuto Zisson Sandal, $89.90

Cara Wide Chevron Bracelet, $57.90

Halogen Back Button Drape Sweater, $45.90

Jolt Black Wash Pull on Skinny Jeans, $29.90

Caslon Button Front Hooded Poncho, $58.90

Julie Dillon Ruffle Bodice Georgette Dress, $118.90

Halogen Military Satchel, $164

white out

Happy Fashion Friday!

In honor of my annual “Party on the Porch” I am hosting tonight with my dear friends (white attire requested, benefitting the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America) … today’s fashion Friday is about fabulous white summer outfits (rocked by men and women)!

I admit, I could not wait until memorial day weekend so that I could go out and wear more white! I know that I am not alone when I see fashionable women everyday wear their white jeans with great summer tops and great nude summer pumps. I just love wearing white – it looks so clean, so put together and so fresh. Either splash your outfit with white by wearing a  fashionable fedora hat, pumps, or clutch purse … or rock a white dress or white jeans with a white top for a full white outfit. If you rock an all-white outfit, I highly recommend a bright colorful clutch or pumps – so cute!

To shop for affordable outfits, I’ve seen really cute white dresses at J. Crew, white tops at Nordstrom, and cute white jeans at Urban Outfitters and Gap. Great, more expensive designer brands for bags, shoes and accessories would be Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Coach and L.A.M.B.

If you would like to donate to The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, please contact Jenna at Fleur de Lis or go to www.ccfa.org. Thank you for all the people coming out to support the foundation by attending our annual Party on the Porch tonight!
