My latest damage

I've been on a shopping kick lately, and with the Holidays quickly approaching I've decided a shopping ban is much needed.

Here are my recent purchases:
Old Navy Diva Skinny Jeans. Never thought I'd actually LIKE a pair of skinny jeans let alone wear them. These are actually really comfortable and flattering. And they were only $19! I had to, really.
Crisp Wings Blouse from Anthropologie. I have been stalking this top for ages, and it finally went on sale! I snagged it for $39, and now it's unavailable. Phew!
I also picked up the Idyll Respite Necklace from Anthro, it's a great piece to jazz up a simple outfit. I wore it today with the Odette V Neck I reviewed yesterday.
Chanel Jade nail polish. It's Chanel, it's nail polish, and it's green. Need I say more?

Review: Anthropologie's Odette V-Neck

I ordered the Odette V-Neck a while back after reading the reviews on Anthropologie. Everyone raved about the comfort and fit, but a lot of people recommended sizing down. So, I did. Aaaand maybe I shouldn't have. It's a bit boxy, and I feel as if I'm constantly pulling it down. It's INCREDIBLY soft and light, and a cami underneath is a necessity. I ordered a Medium, and I think a Large would have been perfect. Alas, this top went on sale for $9.99 and I tried to order the navy but it was unavailable almost immediately.

I remedied this with a longer slim fit cami (Forever 21).

Emmys Best Dressed


Christina Hendricks can do no wrong. She knows how to showcase those curves. Love.

I absolutely LOVE this dress on Mila Kunis. The color, the shape, it's so gorgeous. She took a risk and it paid off.

Rose Byrne's dress is stunning. Modern Cinderella.
Ginnifer Goodwin's dress is lovely. I'm a sucker for magenta and statement necklaces.

Leighton never disappoints. I love that her lipstick matches her clutch.

I've never been much of a fashion fan of Chloe Sevigny, but this dress is beautiful. I love the yellow slip underneath, and the brooch. Perfection.

Hey Old Navy, how YOU doin'?

As I was doing my usual online browsing, I came across the New Arrivals @ OldNavy.com and I was shocked by how cute AND chic everything is! Good on ya, Old Navy.

Here are my favorites:

Gauze top, $19.99

Sliver Wedge Boots $39.99

I am IN LOVE with this jacket! It would look so chic with the boots and dark skinny jeans! But the $69 price tag, I do not love. Being Old Navy, I'm sure it will go on sale soon, though.
Love a good wrap dress! Belted, with tights and boots = easy uniform. $29

Did I mention how much I love our President?

Our President, demonstrating his fencing "skills" on the White House lawn, in an event to promote Chicago for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
(I love that Michelle's cardigan matches his "light saber")
