You Don't Know Jade

It is full blown fall around here and with that comes a new set of nail polish colors. Obviously. We haven't done a nail color inspired post in forever; today we're featuring Essie: Going Incognito. I love it because it's a fabulous creamy jade.

Max and Cleo, April Dress, $98

I'm not usually a huge fan of cutout sleeves, but this is a very ladylike ensemble, I really like the natural waist hem line.

Ann Taylor, Exotic Embossed Skinny Belt, $34

This is almost a neutral for me. You could pair it with denim, black, brown, or yellow.

C Wonder, Blossom Enamel Bangle Set, $38

Scalloped edge bangles. Ah! I love them. These come in eight other colors.

Ann Taylor, Midnight Tweed Pencil Skirt, $98

I don't often post two items from the same store in one post, but how how I say no to this tweed? It's perfect with black tights and booties.

What colors are you loving for fall both in your closet and on your nails?

Be fabulous today!

Work (it) Dresses

Today is a rainy Thursday. Major bummer. But the good news is it's almost Friday Foodday so send me your recipes asap lovebugs!

One of my favorite go to work outfits is a dress. Its simple, quick, and never goes out of season. Some people are strict and stick only to suiting dresses, which is fine but sometimes a little out of my price range. Here are some of my picks:

Modcloth, CEO Dress, $59.99

Appropriately titled for this post don't you think? I love the feminine ruffle on this and the belting will make sure the va-voom hourglass shape is recognized.
