Inspired: J.Crew Looks We Love {October}

Hi guys,

Long time, no talk. It's been an insane couple of months. We moved across the country, bought a house, & had a baby. I think our life is finally settling down.

I had a peek at J.Crew's October looks to love, and found a few crush-worthy outfits.

I am especially loving the metallic heels for fall. Aren't you?

Speaking of J.Crew, here are a few things for sale at the factory store I would love to take home:

Merino Charley Sweater
Skinny Jean in Midnight Wash
Crystal Gumdrop Necklace
Scalloped Lace Graphic Tee
Skimmer Pant in Polka Dot

Spied: Scoop Back Squirrel Sweater

 

I am so into tops with animal graphics right now. Unfortunately, most of the animal tops I find are way more money than I want to spend. When I saw this sweater, I fell head over heels for it. How cute is that squirrel?

What do you think? Tell me if you are into the animal graphic tops now too.

Like a Star: Jayma Mays Nest Cover

I spotted this picture over at What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear, which featured a sneak peak into Jayma Mays' recent cover shoot. This was one of the outfits among the shots and I fell in love with it's graphic simplicity.

Here's my budget version:

Long Sleeve Striped Sweater Top - Forever 21 - $13.80
Merona® Euna Pumps - Cheetah  - Target - $24.99 (these leopard flats are also a great option)
PARIS BLUES Ultra Skinny Five Pocket Jeans - 15 Dollar Store - $15.00 (Orig. $34.00)
total:  $53.79

As a side note, I have posted on the 15 Dollar Store in the past, but it's been awhile since I highlighted the store. They offer broad selection of name brand junior clothing which can be found at well known department stores at full price for just $15. It's worth a look.

Inspired: Ann Taylor {Double Breasted + Stripes}

Last week, I got an email from Ann Taylor proclaiming stripes as the must have trend for fall (yes, yes, yes). They also offered this bit of advice,

Stripes add a chic graphic pop and are a wardrobe must-have this season. Play with proportion and layer them on...

The email touted two outfits demonstrating the general chicness of stripes. I, of course, immediately fell in love with this ensemble.

{ponte pants, double breasted sweater jacket}

How great is that double breasted sweater jacket? As I was shuffling past the Forever 21 storefront this weekend, I saw a similar jacket. I went in and started hunting for them on the racks. I went back to the display section to find the mannequin wearing my beloved jacket, and of course, it was nowhere to be found. My husband asked me what I was so anxious to find and I kept telling him "they have a double breasted knit blazer somewhere and I have to find it". At this point, I am sure he thought I had lost my mind. When I got home, I hopped on my computer and felt vindicated as I found jacket below on their website. I also found some other goodies to make this outfit work for less:

Casual Knit Blazer - Forever 21 - $29.80
Scoop Neck Striped Top - Forever 21 - $10.90
Flat Front Skinny Pants - Forever 21 - $22.80
Blinged Out Wrap Snap Bracelet - Charlotte Russe - $6.50
Auburn Patent Pump - Payless Shoesource - $22.99
Baby Pearl And Ribbon Necklace - Charlotte Russe - $12.50

What do you think of this outfit? How about stripes as the must have trend for fall? Leave your thoughts below.

Happy Shopping.
