My Take - Eva Longoria

It's been quite a while since I tackled a "my take"!  I picked this outfit that Eva Longoria wore because it's pretty basic, but when you add some bright pink shoes and a fab bag it goes from basic to chic and fun.

If you don't want to tackle the platforms then just sub out some pink ballet flats.

Still digging these shoes...

It's been almost 2 years since this post and I still can't get enough of YSL's Tribtoo pumps - LOVE them!

I Want This! - Green Handbag (Happy St. Patrick's Day!)

The idea of a green handbag has been bouncing around in my head for quite a while now.  However I've never acted on that want, I hem and haw about what color green and how much to spend, etc.  But I recently saw this picture on Pinterest (I think it's a Celine bag, but not 100% sure)...

...and I think I've decided that a midtone, almost kelly green handbag would be perfect for Spring and Summer.  So, in honor of St. Patrick's Day I've pulled some lovely green handbags.  First up, the high end, inspirational bags:

Satchels by Cole Haan
Clutches by Proenza Schouler

Nice, right?  But who has $1,500 to drop on a bag?  So here are my more realistic picks, all are under $150.

Clutches by Fossil
Shoulder Bags by Dooney & Bourke

Hope everyone has a Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Winter's Last Hurrah - Outfit Post

Ahhh, I've (sort of) recovered from the 30 for 30 challenge enough to post some outfit photos from before the challenge started.  These look almost too Wintery now because I am officially declaring that it's "Spring" down here in Georgia.  Yipee!  

This first look includes my favorite L.A.M.B. blazer that I picked up from Century 21 in NYC - score!  And how much leopard can you cram in an outfit - I'm trying to put as much as I can in with the top and shoes.

Blazer - L.A.M.B.

Top - L.A.M.B.

Tank (underneath) - Target

Pants - J.Crew

Shoes - Tory Burch

Next up a super cozy outfit for a cold day, I love this sweater!

Close up of the necklace

Last look, it was rainy and chilly on this day (hence the wellies) - I tried to tuck the pants into the boots, but it looked ridiculous.  And hey, these are "boot cut" pants so darn it I put the pants over the boots and it worked like a charm!  My apologies for looking extremely tired...

Sweater - gift unsure of the brand (I think it was purchased at Nordstrom Rack)

Shirt - Target

Pants - J.Crew

Necklace - Made by my Mom

Boots - Hunter Wellies

I Want This! - Alexander McQueen Clutches

First of all I just want to thank everyone for their sweet comments about my little bloggy breakdown - I really appreciate all the kind words!!!

I know I've already written a post about my adoration of clutches by Alexander McQueen, but I can't help it, I have to do another one.  So in honor of my picks from the Fall 2011 collection posted earlier today, here are some clutches from McQueen that I'm in love with.  Gorgeous!
