Moody Style: Camo and Stripes

Camouflage! You either love it or hate it.  Some people think it’s just a fashion trend that has invaded our favorite brands and others think that camo is a fad.  One thing is for sure is that you can't hide from camo this fall season because it’s everywhere.  And it doesn’t seem to be going out of style any time soon.  This trend continues to grow in popularity each year and designers are constantly updating the look in various colors, with neon trim and new accessories. 

Last year, I missed out on some great camo pieces when J.crew sold out of this shirt, this vest and these pants.  So, I was pretty happy that I was able to find this cute top from Target a few weeks ago.  And the best part was that it was less than $10.  Now all I need to do is find some camo pants with a great fit for a low price.   What are some of your favorite camo pieces?  Are you a fan of camo? Let me know in the comments.

In the Mood: Fancy Footwork

Have you guys checked out the new arrivals from Kate Spade yet?  I just stumbled across the website and fell in love with the cutest handbag.  It’s called the Fancy Footwork Emanuelle.  The emanuelle silhouette is the perfect size that holds the essentials and doubles as both a clutch and handbag.   I especially love the details of the musical piano over the patent leather.  I think that this little number will go perfectly with just about any outfit. Right now, the only thing that I own from Kate Spade is the case for iphone, but I may have to make a change soon.  What do you guys think?  Did you find anything else that you like on the Kate Spade website?  Let me know in the comments.

 

Fresh Picks to Follow – The Need for Tweed

I’ve always loved the look of just about anything with tweed fabric.  It reminds me of my childhood growing up in New Jersey, especially when I think back to the time when I got my first tweed jacket. This fall and winter, you should plan to see a lot of tweed that has a fresher, younger, and a little livelier look than year’s past.  Designers have updated the tweed patterns by adding a mixture of metallic threads, sequins and a hint of leather to appeal to all age groups.  If you want to recapture Chanel’s iconic look, then grab your own Chanel inspired tweed jacket without spending thousands of dollars on the real thing.  For this week’s Fresh Picks to Follow, here are my top 10 ways to fulfill your need for everything tweed. Will you be wearing tweed this fall? Let me know in the comments.
