Jason Wu For Target

Just saw the Jason Wu for Target lookbook on the Huffington Post and had to share it with you here! Taking a cue from the major spring trends, Jason Wu's collaboration is both feminine and fun with flirty A-line dresses, nautical stripes, and a hint of playful, schoolgirl style. Check it out!

Available beginning February 5th, this spring line is worth braving the inevitable stampede to occur at Targets across the country. And well, with every single item priced below $60, you'll be stampeding too.

New In

Scooped up this Theory sweater last week at a fabulous half off for the winter sale! Definitely becoming one of my favorites... You see, I have this terrible habit of finding something that I like and wearing it nonstop until I'm sick of it. New Years resolution: alternate my clothes and try to give some needed attention to those ignored pieces in my wardrobe!


An equally good buy from the winter sale was this Ètoile Isabel Marant black leather belt. A total basic that I needed and had been searching for everywhere. Of course, it ended up being Isabel Marant who got it right!

On another note, here's a picture I took the other morning outside of my window while I was packing... It sure made it hard to leave Portland on such a beautiful day.

Je Voudrais...

This Étoile Isabel Marant Itha Jacket from the new spring collection.

I love the subtle texture of the black cotton-linen blend and the simplicity of the boyish, boxy fit. You can get the jacket here or check out some other pieces from the spring collection here!

All Black

I've been getting a lot of comments from friends lately about all the black I've been wearing, but there's just something about it. It's simple, understated, effortlessly layer-able, and a fun vehicle for playing with different fabrics and materials. For example: a black sleeveless leather shift dress worn with a black long sleeved chiffon top underneath, or a pair of black patent pumps worn with black silk trousers creates a beautiful and equally interesting ensemble that is easily thrown together in minutes. Really, you just can't go wrong with black!

It's pretty amazing how just one color has the potential to produce such a variety of looks. From sophisticated to classic, all the way to downright badass, all black is my style obsession of the moment. Nonetheless, I'm headed back to sunny California soon, so maybe I should take a cue from Taylor Tomasi-Hill (pictured in the last photo) and add a little excitement with a pop of colored accessories... maybe.

Happy New Year! À bientôt!
