It is perfect.

I Love the 80s
For my toddler’s birthday, we took a trip down to Texas to celebrate with my parents. The night before the party, my mom brought over some of my favorite dolls from the 80s, including my boy and girl Cabbage Patch dolls (yes, she still had their birth certificates), a Strawberry Shortcake doll, and a couple of necklaces in a clear plastic tote my tot now uses as a purse. One of the necklaces is a big gold bead costume piece that I recently wore it to work with a blazer from Brooks Brothers and a jersey dress from Tory Burch. I still love the 80s.

Blue Shoes
I am in the mood for a little blue…
Wear with a simple black dress for work, then load up with statement earrings or necklace.

Closet Confessions: Travel Bag
I haven’t confessed anything in a while, so here are the contents of a recent carry-on bag, which incidentally was a canvas LL Bean tote with so many inside pockets, it would be a fantastic diaper bag (and, in fact, was perfect for stashing boarding passes and IDs).
1. Smashbox Limitless Lip Stain and Color Seal Balm in Sangria
2. Pink Crocs I picked up at the Minneapolis airport, which looked huge but are in fact correctly sized, and now I have to ship them back… arg!
3. Tokyomilk Perfume no. 10 Everything and Nothing
4. A nerdy quarterly magazine put out by the International Legal Technology Association
5. Delta Sky Magazine I hauled home to show my husband an article about Ralph Lauren’s car collection
6. A license to wear heels in Carmel (may have to explain later)
7. iPhone and iPad
8. Audio Technica noise reduction headphones
9. Bag of Swedish Fish for my husband
10. Ivory cashmere pashmina, which doubles as a travel blanket and a scarf
11. A plastic fork (just in case)
12. Brookstone multi charger in a clear Ziplock baggie so I don’t have to dump everything out looking for the iPhone connector
And, by the way, this post took so long to put together that (1) I really hope you liked it, (2) I am amazed that some bloggers do this every day, and (3) it may be a while before I have another confession to make…!

Time Machine
I have some catching up to do on JHS. As you look through the next few days, you’ll think either (1) we went back in time to late winter/early spring or (2) I have moved to Canada;) In fact, these were looks from a couple of weeks ago when the temperature dipped down into the 30′s and 40′s.
See by Chloe cardi from the Outnet, Missoni skirt, clearance booties from Jimmy Choo, necklace from Artswork in Le Claire.

Mixed Metals
It’s time to mix it up. I started with the grey crocheted top I found at a garage sale for and added layers of grey and various textures, from the Nicole Miller skirt to the Zara jacket.
The necklace and belt were on clearance from J. Jill, as well as the Rousseau shoes I found on Gilt.com. In fact, the jacket was the only thing I am wearing that was not on sale, but I think anything from Zara should count as budget friendly:)

Big Print
I threw this on because it was easy. No jacket, no jewelry… Just the dress and belt.
And a fun pair of Jessica Simpson shoes.

Vintage Blue
I have been looking for an excuse to use these vintage blue suitcases. So, today, I have props.
And yes, there are birds on my blouse. You may have also seen it on Cupcakes and Cashmere in a fabulous post about bow tie blouses.
