Style File

Undecided if I will do a regular personal style posting,but when the mood strikes why not? This is the outfit for my blog and personal marketing pics that I wore recently. I lean toward neutrals by nature,but have been trying to add a piece of color here and there. This shocking yellow was well outside my comfort zone,but has become a favorite.

Eyeglass frames: Ralph Lauren
Shockingly yellow sweater: JCPenney
Leopard print (major personal fetish) pencil skirt: Newport-News

Rodarte for Target

Old news by blogosphere standards,but I am very excited to see the Rodarte for Target collection. So far,it looks to have a nostalgic slant and plenty of play with texture,print,and color. Something that always speaks to me personally is evening wear mixed with daytime looks and the ability to layer different proportions of garments to create a personalized look.
December seems far away,so I will have to settle for tapping my fingers alongside my keyboard and scouring the net for further sneak peeks til then.

Lovely Links

I was inspired to start a a personal weekly wish list by this post via Simple Lovely.

Nana's decided that it is time to redo my son's nursery,but we have been hard pressed to find inspiration since none of us are the pastel types. Found many possibilities courtesy of Ohdeedoh,but Parker's in particular jumped out at me.

Sometimes the devil is in the details. The Black Apple proves that a simple button swap can make all the difference .

Love the interiors of Jonas Ingerstedt brought to you by Desire to Inspire.

The holidays are coming and if you like to send Christmas cards here is a fun and modern take from Made by Girl.

Stella McCartney for Gapkids

I am currently coveting quite a few things from this collection for my little man. Truth be told that if I was small enough you might even catch me raiding the girls section for myself.

Here's a small peek inside the upscale and inviting atmosphere that I have the pleasure of working at. I can't wait to show off the talent of the staff and Clive. They inspire me daily and are the reason I am excited to go to work again.
