The change of seasons has inspired me to take more photos of my personal looks. I am trying to focus on my individual look of the day vs. trying to find someone to hold the camera on a Sunday afternoon. So I experimented with self portraits on my handy pocket size digital camera.

So… At 5’11,  I’ve learned that if I am wearing heels, its either my shoes or my face.

I picked up this band jacket off of the ChickDowntown clearance sale for $17.95!

I am looking into picking up a tripod for the camera and hopefully that will help me get the pictures into focus as well as all of me too!

Fall 2009

Fall is in full swing… I’ve officially been wearing my trench coats and I will begin to break out the wool coats soon! But for now it’s time to start revisiting some of those fierce looks from the fall 2009 runway shows and see how we can incorporate them into our closet without selling a kidney!

I picked 2 of my favorite looks from the Stella McCartney Fall 2009 runway show and built similar looks for you from items that you may already have in you closet.

Trend Alert!

Surprise, surprise Band and Military jackets are will be everywhere this fall. Their influence will also be seen on shoes and variety of accessories…

Loving the Tao Comme Des Garcons Drummer boy jacket. Love the masculinity of the structured jacket, softened with the feminine ruffles sleeves.

Highly recommend if price is not a concern of course!
