The Red Coats are Coming

No Brit has ever looked better in a red coat than Pippa Middleton.

As soon as this photograph was released, my friend (and fellow royal family stalker), Sus had e-mailed me the look.

As soon as I realized where it was from (Zara), I proceeded to try to order it.

And so did everyone else.

So after I dried my tears, I decided it was my mission to magically become Pippa Middleton find a red  coat with no collar.

ASOS Minimal Coat With Gold Buttons

At $179.70, it is not quite as fantastic of a deal as the original, but still not bad. Plus, how can you put a price on Pippa?

(Disclaimer: I am not an actual stalker.)

The Glitter Guide

One of my favorite bloggers is Taylor from Sterling Style. (As you can see to the right, I stalk her blog daily.) Taylor has teamed up with another fashionable blogger, to create The Glitter Guide. Check it out! It's Friday! What real office work are you going to do today? Warning: It will suck you in, leaving you wondering how you ever lived without it.

Happy Friday!

Blake's Look for Less

Yesterday I finished day one of my summer job. It felt very adult. I wonder if it is too early to ask for a company car?

On the plane ride from Miami, I decided to read Bethany's Glamour. The cover girl was Blake Lively, and I LOVE her (despite the fact that she is 23 and is dating THE Leonardo DiCaprio.) Not only is she stunning (pretty sure her legs alone are as tall as me), a Chanel spokesmodel (dreams do come true), but she has a great sense of style.

I loved her entire spread in Glamour, but found this photograph really striking my fancy...

Now, like I said (here), I can't exactly rock the micro-mini short short, so here is my version of Blake's Look for Less..with a personal flair :)

Pippa's Look for Less by Zara

It is easy to say that I have major style crush on Pippa Middleton. When she wore that white, column gown to fulfill her MOH duties, I was lusting to be a bridesmaid. As she departed the wedding festivities, she looked AMAZING (and you know I love a blazer.) If that had been me, I might have been in sweats with a sign that said- "I hate my life, my sister just married a prince."

But not chic Pippa...

Zara has become one of my new favorite stores (despite a recent incident that involved an attack on a mannequin.) It is accessible, affordable, and I am obsessed with their latest collection (hello color block!)

Laser Blazer

I have an ever so slightly, obsession with blazers. I just can't seem to get enough of them. They are perfect to wear to work over a dress, yet ever so chic with some jeggings/skinnies at night.

If you take me to a store, there is a 99% chance I am going to find a blazer I adore. (I also sometimes rip them off of mannequins when I am not supposed to...)

I Heart Lauren Conrad

One of the best twelve bucks I spent was on this...

I mean, I'm not going to lie... the book could have told me to wear bike shorts with stilettos, and I still would have probably loved it. However, Lauren did a wonderful job with her insightful style advice.

Therefore, I am so excited for her newest endeavour...

L.L. Bean Signature

So a little catalog came to me last week. Where I normally chunk catalogs (except for my beloved J. Crew), this one caught my eye...

It's from L.L. Bean Signature. I. Am. Obsessed. It is like L.L. Bean meets a really good tailor :)

Take a lookie for yourself...

Laura K., this one's for you...

 

Looks like a basic black blazer...actually made of SEERSUCKER! Perfect for office days in the summer.

Um, (attention Husband) these WILL be on my feet this summer...

Yuuuum, statement necklace....

Did I mention these were just the things I REALLY, REALLY loved? PS- Free Shipping. Ah, I love you too :)
