Double The Fun

Cuff bracelets are a great way to accessorize any outfit.  This season's take on the cuff bracelet is the double cuff bracelet.  Slap one on each wrist and you're good to go.  Just make sure the cuffs have an interesting design or pattern so you don't go around looking like Wonder Woman.

Sweater Time

As the air becomes crisp and the leaves fall, I know it's time to pull out my sweaters.  I've seen some very cute sweaters from Burberry but they're a bit expensive...

I've found similar styles at Forever21 for a fraction of the cost!  The first sweater below continues with the fox trend and the second has the lace overlay detail.

Topshop @ Nordstrom

A few weeks ago I blogged about the arrival of Topshop to Nordstrom.  Have you checked it out yet?  I've seen a few cute items like the studded heart clutch and the hunter green peplum top, both pictured above. The styles in this collection are up to date, think peter pan collars, lace, and peplum mixed with a bit of edge and grunge.

The Purfect Fall Coat

I needed to find a great coat for this fall season.  I wanted something with a great shape, preferably in a neutral color, and something that would reflect my personal style.  I found this amazing coat from Free People. It's in a cheetah print (sooo in this season) which I consider a neutral.  I absolutely love the vintage swing shape.  They key to wearing animal prints, as evident in the photo below, is to keep the rest of the outfit as simple as possible. 

Music of the Month (September)

We're already a week into October...time flies!  I'm going to start blogging about my favorite music.  I tend to have one album on repeat per month.  Last month I was obsessed with Electra Heart by Marina and the Diamonds.  Her style is indie pop, electronic and is similar to one of my favorite artists, Ellie Goulding.

My favorite tracks include Teen Idol, Power & Control, Radioactive, How to be a Heartbreaker, and Primadonna.  Please go check out this album!

PFW: Chanel

Chanel shows are always extremely enjoyable, no doubt.  The top celebrities line the front row and there is no expense spared at these shows.  This season, the models strutted on solar panels past  towering turbines.

We saw Chanel's classic tweed pairings and pearls in a new light.  I'm loving the hemlines and large pearl baubles.  Floral prints, floppy hats,  denim, and tie up platforms were also featured.

The piece de resistance was this hula hoop bag.  What do you think?  A bit avant garde, no?
