Dip-Dyed, Ombre`, call it what you want.  It's not going anywhere yet.  Hair, clothes, home decor...I first spotted my first ombre` crush on a Prada clutch back in 2008.  It was a deep purple hue that faded in burgundy that blossomed into pink.  Till this day I have dreams about it.  I never could get my hands on it.  But alas, there are many other fabulous options.  From Target to Barneys...there is an ombre` just for you.

My latest addiction is inexpensive, colorful and easily dresses up any outfit.  BaubleBar is an online and now real life store in NYC where you can shop for fun and affordable accessories.  The necklaces are my fave but their bracelets and earrings are making their way into my heart and jewelry box alike.  If you can't make it to their flagship store on 5th Ave you can still shop the look at www.Baublebar.com


Here's a preview:

The chill in the air is bringing on my desire to wrap myself up in luxe cozy fabrics, warm fuzzy sweaters and wraps.  I know there is still a chance for Indian Summer type days, in fact this weekend is looking pretty sunny and almost Spring like.  But before we know it, it will be hat and mittens time...so why not be prepared?  Like I always say...there a time and place to shop...all the time and every place!!!  (Ok maybe not every time and every place...but almost...) Hey a girl can try right?

3 things that made me happy today despite trying to get over a nasty cold (insert sniffle here). 
Number one on my short list, books that every fashion loving girl cannot live without. A book of "Must haves in your closet" and a book of "What you don't have to have to look fabulous". Both beautifully illustrated and mostly illustrations (because I really don't have War and Peace kind of reading time.)





 Secondly, a sweater that just makes me smile every time I look at it. Part cheeky - part French... All love. I see this with black shorts, stockings, boots and a chic scarf- strolling around New York City... with a hot cup of Espresso in my hand of course!  French Hen Sweater

The "Signature Look" for Fall- STUDS.  All over the runways and all over the streets.  If you can't handle too much of it at once you can utilize your studs on jewelry, handbags or just on the pockets of sweaters and jeans.  Part biker chic, part rocker dud- but you don't have to be a bad girl to rock this look.  You can actually look quite like the lady...after all- doesn't every girl need a STUD in her life? ...(wink)
