Celeb Inspired Looks

People Magazine is an obsession of mine and one of my book-marked pages. I have recently been stalking their style section to gain some trend inspiration. I have recently been doing a lot of clothing posts because I am in the market for basically a whole new work-appropriate wardrobe. My closet is currently filled with sequins, bright colors and well more sequins... Here are some of the leading ladies that have been inspiring me!

(Bohemian-Inspired, Neutrals and Statement Pants)

(Structured Blazers, Splattered Dress, Ombre Hair)

(Color Blocking, Chic Pony, Black Sheer Tights)

(Pop of Neon, Pink Lips, Green Beaded Dress)

What's been inspiring you lately?

Spring Forward... For Less

Spring is right around the corner and my wish-list is getting longer...

1. Elizabeth and James Cat Eye Sunglasses: $155  I am liking the cat-eye sunnies trend; a nice homage to the 1960's.

2. J.Crew Palma Suede Platform Wedges: $178  Pastel shoes? How about pastel anything! A staple to spring... pastels enhance your tan and are perfect when the flowers are in bloom. 

3. Nanette Lepore Eye Candy Dress: $328  In the tri-state area, spring usually lends to a slight wind and temperatures in the low 70's. Therefore a long sleeve chiffon dress is just what you need when going to class or running errands. 

4. Vince. Slim Jeans: $225  Lastly, it is just about time to bring back the white! White jeans, white tops and white sandals.

Now that Spring Break is over and my bank account is basically depleted, it is nice to know that you can still rock the spring trends and look fabulous... for less. LC by Lauren Conrad is one of my favorite brands and you can find it at Kohls!

1. Oversized Cat's-Eye Sunglasses: $19.99
2. Peep-Toe Platform Wedge: $27.97
3. Cherry Bow Dress: $39.99
4. Pencil Jeans: $42

All Tied Up

Tank Top: LC by Lauren Conrad Jacket: Banana Republic Jeans: 7ForAllMankind Shoes: Bakers Nail Polish: Funky Fingers

I have been pretty good about curbing my shopping habits, but when I saw these booties at the mall, I had to indulge just a bit. Black booties are such an essential piece in a wardrobe because they are so versatile. I have worn them with skinny jeans and black straight leg pants, thus far. I hope to wear them soon with a spring dress or skirt. My sister painted my nails this weekend and I am in love with the pastel colors. I will have to do a post about them, she has a bunch from Funky Fingers.

Jason Wu for Target

I woke up fairly early to ransack a nearby Target for Jason Wu's collection. I missed the boat on the Missoni raid... and was not going to let history repeat itself. Here is a glimpse of what I snagged in a mere 2 minutes before everything was gone! [Target limited purchases to 1 top, 1 dress, 1 bag and 1 scarf... =( there were about 5 tops I had to choose between]

{Some had been there since 5am... dedication!}

What do you think?

I am going to a wedding tomorrow (yay!) and seeing Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 at Midnight!

Day to Night

This past week was quite hectic, but you can never be busy enough to have a mini shopping spree at the mall. I really love the new stuff at Express this season, so I had to snag some of their amazing new tops! This white sequin top was so day to night friendly. I was able to wear this outfit to work during the day, then grad class at night and finally, to a local Rutgers University bar called The Olive Branch, to watch the Thursday Night Football Game.

Top/Necklace (Express), Blazer (New York & Co.), Pants (Gap), Shoes (Toms), 

Watch (MK), Earrings (Tiffanys)

Get in Loser, We're going Shopping

I am in love with all the blouses this fall, so I decided to compile a list of my favorites!

First and foremost on my list is this amazing black and white blouse from Aritzia that I have been stalking for awhile now. I went to Shorthills Mall last month, which has the best upscale stores in New Jersey (my personal opinion of course). It made me reminisce about my first ever trip to Aritzia. The customer service there is amazing. My friend Alyssa and I thought the employees knew my friend Vida, they kept calling her by her first name! Their service makes you feel so important and such a valued customer.

How amazing is this?
