"yeah pink, it's like red but not quite"

When I saw Erika from Urban Grace in Better Homes and Gardens, all I could focus on was her skirt.

I mean, right?

The world's most perfect pink maxi skirt is from Anthropologie, and is of course, sold out.

Tears.

But then, like a fashion angel, Mackenzie from Design Darling found a look-alike from Old Navy, for a lot less monies. Which I like.

But NOW, I'm all like, hello hot pink trousers.

You shall be mine.

Exceeeeept...

As much as I love Dsquared2, Mama is poor right now and needs a more budget friendly option.

That's where you come into play!

Please be my pink pant angel and find me some cheapa ones.

Many thanks!

Woo Hoo for Jason Wu

It seems like my mind has been full of fashion lately,

perhaps because all I seem to be doing is shopping for clothes.

Gracias, trip to Mexico.

As ya'll know I love Target, and designer collaborations with Target even more.

Remember this madness??

Well this time around, Target has teamed up with the fabulous Jason Wu to create a small (my wallet is crying tears of joy) collection that is as cute as can be.

Here are my top 10 favorite outfits...

Pleated front peplum top in gold and pleated skirt in black

Trench coat in black

Long sleeved blouse in blush and lace-printed straight skirt in blush

Long sleeved sheer blouse in white with black ribbon and pleated canvas skirt in belize blue

Pleated sleeveless shift dress in navy dots

Sleeveless top with sheer panel in navy floral and pleated skirt in navy floral

Long sleeved pointelle sweater in red, pleated cap sleeved blouse in red, and pleated skirt in navy floral

Jersey dress in red and navy stripes

Poplin dress in navy

And my absolute favorite...

Flared dress in cream with black patent belt

Aren't they all adorable?

And the best part? Everything is under $60...poor people after the holidays (me!!!) rejoice!

I hope you aren't getting too bored with all of the fashion posts...tomorrow I will be giving you a breath of fresh air, although very similar and little copycatish of Bailey's post today. 

Happy Hump Day!

vacation all I ever wanted

I don't know if I told you guys this, but I am taking a trip to Mexico at the end of February.
Insert happy "yay's" and terrified "I need to lose 8 el bee's" here.
Either way, I am on a wonderful mission to find the perfect beach outfits, bikinis, and cover-ups.

Ever since I saw the movie Something Borrowed (don't worry, I got it on Redbox and therefore only wasted a dollar and an hour and a half of my life on it) I have been obsessed with the white crochet shorts Kate Hudson wears.

Adorbs, right?

Well, the shorts are made by Letarte, a Maui-based label created by two sisters.
They have amazing pieces for all of your beach vay-cay activities.
Here are some of my favorites.

White crochet shorts, obviamente.

Leopard asymmetrical tunic
Perfect for grabbing lunch or shopping after relaxing on the beach.

White and navy triangle suit

Embroidered pom pom poncho
Who doesn't love a good pom pom?

I still have some more shopping to do, but making an online stop at Letarte was a must.
Sending you warm thoughts wherever you are!
Anyone else going on a mid-winter getaway?

The Perfect Little Coat

How cute is this?

Skirted Peter Pan Collar Coat

 

The collar, the cut, the buttons. It's all so lady-like and feminine. 

Now, if only it came in black too...

Santa can you hear me?

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Actually, not really.

It is still about 70 degrees here in the south, which is sorta marvelous if you ask me. I miss the snow and the immediate sense of holidayness that comes along with it, but this temperature is much more civilized than the teen temps currently in Minnesnowta.

To get more in the merriment mood, I have been slowly turning my hatred of the red and green color combo into a sordid love affair. I'm not too sure how it happened, but I am loving reds and greens mixing these days.

Check it out.

 Yes.

 I mean, come on. That's awesome.

 Feelin' it yet?

 How about now?

 

No one can argue with me about that lantern. No one.

It's magical.

Oh, and because I am super awesome and extra helpful today, here is where you can get a similar lantern, PLUS a lamp that has a similar green geo pattern.

You're welcome!!

Carousel Lantern

Green Ribbon Trim Geo Lamp

Aren't they lovely?

Both are from one of my most favoritest stores, Furbish.

I took a road trip recently just to visit Furbish in all of its in-person glory, but more to come on that later.

It's almost Friday guys!

Hello Lover

All I have been able to think about today are these shoes...

 FA-EIRCE.

I think these Brian Atwood heels would make a lovely addition to my wardrobe.

You can find them here. And they're on sale!

Giambattista Valli

Holiday Wish-List

I survived cooking my second Thanksgiving meal. And I must say, I did much better than last year. 

I brined my turkey this year, which I have never done by myself and not to toot my horn, but toot toot.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it seems Christmas is right around the corner.

I've gathered a few things from my Christmas List to share with you. 

Yes, I still make one.

J. Crew Majesty Peacoat

Hunter Original Gloss Tall Boot

Kate Spade Spike the Punch Sweater

David Yurman Cable Classics Bracelet Aqua Chalcedony

Furbish Spotted Ottoman Tray

Kate Spade Taxi Mittens

Stubbs & Wootton Jane True Needlepoint

J. Crew Vintage Matchstick Cord

Not too shabby, right?

What's on your wish-list this year??

xoxo Meg

Red and Pink

I recently saw these Tory Burch heels and instantly I was all, "I luff them!"

 Maybe it's 'cause I have a slight obsession with the pairing of pink and red

 It's definitely not the color combo for everyone

 But it sure is for me

 Oh, and Miles Redd loves it too

Need I say more?

Ok, I'm well aware that this is a weak post.

I'm all sorts of wonk-a-doo from having a house guest last weekend and preparing for another house guest this weekend. Not that I don't love my visitors-my momma is basically my favoritest person eva and this weekend my bestie Lexie (on purpose) is coming-it's just a lot of activities for ole me.

Less neglect tomorrow.

xoxo Meg
