What I’m Loving for Fall.

There are so many items that I want for fall.  My Fall Forecast will tell you to stock up on brightly colored bottoms, leopard anything, gold flats, and I (not a surprise coming from me) chunky gold jewelry. Dark nails are not a thing of the past, and everything is more fun with a little glitter.
 I need to keep reminding myself that I am on a budget and I have two kids who will need to go to college someday… not to mention the two over-the-top weddings that they will have.  I must admit, I have bought a few items on this list (ahem…. #’s 1, 4 and 6, to be exact.) The only two that are out of my price range are of course the two I love the most!  Hopefully some of you can throw caution to the wind and I can live vicariously through you.

Guess Who?

Guess who is FINALLY getting an online store?  Buckle you seat belts ladies, because next week ZARA will be launching their online shopping mecca.  I have heard conflicting reports whether it will be September 6 or September 7, but I would start checking on the 6th to make sure you can scoop up your top picks as items are going to be flying off of those virtual shelves. For those of you who are not familiar with the Spanish clothing brand, here is a little taste of what you are in for.

The Wedge.

I am certainly a sucker for a wedge salad, but today, we are talking about the shoe.  Pondering back to my wardrobe choices, I rocked a wedge of some sort every day last week.  Then I looked back at some of the outfits that I have pulled together on this little blog, and there is a wedge in every single one.  Simply put-  the wedge is on my mind.
So, I have pulled a selection of my favorite wedges of the season.  I own # 7 and am in L-O-V-E, love.

On Acid.

While I am not particularly a fan of the neon trend, one color I can stand behind is acid yellow.  
Years after SJP rocked this dress, I still can’t get it out of my head.
And how pretty and feminine does Rhianna look in this chiffon-rufffled dream?
Like it or not, acid yellow well be around to stay this summer.  So if you decide to hop on the band wagon, here are a few pieces to tickle your fancy:

April Showers.

Trench, $645 
April showers bring May flowers, so they say.   Here in DC the month of April starts out as cold and damp and before you know it flowers are blooming and May is upon us.  This is one of those weird months where it will be raining and cold on your way into work, and by lunch time the sun is out and it’s 20 degrees warmer.  There are plenty of ways to look stylish in this non-predictable weather.  The key is layers.  Here are two looks that I pulled together for April.  Of course, both start off with a stylish trench.
