Happy Weekend and the Target + Neiman Marcus Collection Debut!

First of all I want to thank all my new followers!  Wow, considered my mind blown, welcome!  I've had a crazy week full of sickness (my cold turned into a sinus infection and I got some meds yesterday so I'm feeling like a human again) and lots of work at my day job.  BTW, why is it always so darn crazed when you feel under the weather?  At least it seems that way.

What's on tap for your weekend?  I'm going to be ordering our Christmas cards (totally punting this year and using a really nice picture of my girl taken back in August by my brother with his iPhone and posted on his Instagram.  Yes, yes I am lazy.)  And I'm going to hit up Target to scope out the Target + Neiman Marcus Holiday Collection.  I've got my eye on the following items:

Oscar de la Renta tote - $60

Proenza Schouler sweatshirt - $30

Rodarte wrapping paper - $8

Rodarte ornament (I LOVE this) - $20

 

Are you excited about this?  Are you eyeballing anything from this collaboration too?

Stop trying to hide Karlie, we know it's you (and girl, you are everywhere)!

 

Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to enter Jessica Who?'s November giveaway!

My Five - Oscar de la Renta Spring 2013

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!  This collection may be my favorite of Spring 2013.  It was one enchanting look after another.  We are talking what could be considered couture quality fabrics and construction here.  And it all felt so right, so now yet so timeless.  I LOVED the shots of color in the hair that gave the ladylike looks a little edge and punk.  Prepare yourselves for a gorgeous fashion ride by one of the all time greats.  I picked a lot of looks, but I'm sure you will agree, they are all so swoon worthy, enjoy!

 

This dress is outstanding in every way.  Simple and stunning.

 

Hello plaid cut (or folded) on the bias to make a funky zigzag!  Genius.

Pattern mix goodness!

Shoe goodness - tailored, yet perforated to look like lace:

The hair - LOVED the hair!

Happy Weekend!

Well, I finished up dropping off, working at and shopping for my girl's Fall wardrobe at the local kid's consignment sale and I must say I scored some amazing stuff for her and had loads of fun helping organize the clothes on the sales floor.  For some reason that's like total zen for me.  I've been really scattered this week and haven't had the chance to look at all the NYFW shows, but let me tell you, the ones I've looked at have been really strong.  Like, get excited! strong.  I'll start sharing my picks next week, but in the meantime here are some looks that I love!

First up Oscar de la Renta's OUTSTANDING show - every look was perfection:

Tory Burch - grey and yellow pattern mixing goodness!

J.Crew - this dress/tunic is to die for!

Exciting right?  I've got so many shows to still look through, but so far so good!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend and see you Monday!

My Five - Oscar de la Renta Resort 2013

Beautiful collection (as usual) from Mr. de la Renta.  The beauty and wearability of his collections are so consistent it's kind of scary.  How does he do it?  Well, I hope he never stops because even though I can't afford a stitch of it, his collections are fantastic for inspiration.  Take note of the colors (bright blue, kelly green, yellow-green, purple, orange-red, white gold, etc) and the use of gingham in a large scale (on the bias - which is how I prefer it) as well as manipulating it to look folded, undone and skewed.  We all might want to invest in a sparkly baseball tee pairing it with a skirt :o)  Fun stuff!  Here are my (slightly more than 5) picks, enjoy!

My Five - Oscar de la Renta Fall 2011

Oscar always shines, his collections are so beautiful and ladylike.  This collection is no different, lovely fabrics, sparkle and lots of pattern.  Please note that cobalt blue is still sticking around, which I love.  Here are my (more than five - eek) picks:
