High Calorie Colors

My favorite color is purple, but I also have a love of very saturated colors. Deep, rich colors that make a statement. I will pass on a pastel every time if I have an option like garnet. Oh you thought that was only for jewelry? Let me blow your mind with these rich garnet pieces.

Macy's, Nine West Howley Dress Pumps, $89

Rounded toe, texture, bow? Sign me up.

Old Navy, Twill Midi Skirt, $10

That's right, $10. Get on this skirt. The length is great for booties and the patch pockets give a casual feel to a feminine skirt.

Gap, Nylon Utility Hooded Jacket, $88

A great fall jacket for everything from running errands to apply picking.

Modcloth, Casual Composure Cardigan, $49

Open front comfort and the perfect shades of garnet.

If this color was a food it would be super high in calories. It is so rich and decadent. Perfect for the autumn colors we're seeing right now.

You Can Ring My Bell

It's hump day, you know what else looks like a hump? A bell. Stay with me. It's bell sleeve hump day. See what I did there? No? Ok, great. Bell sleeves for everyone. Let's look.

Simple but very Michelle Obama. Perfect for work or dress it up with jewels for a holiday party.

The 70s are back this fall and this blouse is perfectly on trend.

Nordstrom Rack, Free People Marshmallow Surplice Sweater, $59

Amazing texture aside, I love the faux wrap silhouette of this sweater.

Romwe, Bell Sleeve Chevron Pattern Gray Dress, $30

Hello fall sweater dress. Pair with tights, leggings, boots, anything.

A simple bell sleeve really changes the style of an outfit. It's breezy, it's 70s, it's quite gorgeous.

Holes in Your Story

Yesterday we looked at an urban-inspired collection at Kohl's. Today I want to continue that more cool, industrial trend with grommets. These simple embellishments pack a punch and when styled correctly provide a touch of rocker to any outfit.

Bloomingdale's, Labonia Grommet Detailed Gloves, $50

I'm starting with my favorite piece. Not only are these gloves the perfect length, the color is stunning.

Saks Off 5th, Sondra Roberts Studded Faux Leather Hobo, $49

60% off, this bag is a great accessory to balance out a fuzzy cashmere sweater.

Lord and Taylor, French Connection Kodee Leather Studded D'Orsay, $74

You may think these shoes aren't going to fly in your conservative office, but check out the mid-heel height and pair it with a tie neck blouse.

Saks off 5th, Grommet Trim Cotton Tee, $19

Just when you thought grommets were just for accessories. Picture this tee under a blazer. 

I lean more preppy than rocker, but this is a trend I can get behind. The subtle detail of the grommet is the perfect embellishment to an outfit. Grunge, chic, classic, you name it, grommets are here to stay.

Swoon for Thakoon

Happy Monday lovebugs,
Let's talk high fashion for low budgets. In the past we've looked at designers who have done lines for Target or Kohl's and they are such a fun experience. Wildly talented folks making their styles affordable for the average woman. Today I'm really excited about Thakoon for Kohl's. This collection is urban chic and there are so many options for under $100. Here are some of my favorites.

Kohl's, Thakoon Floral Fit and Flare Dress, $44

I love the contrast of floral (summer) with long sleeves. Perfect for fall and even longer into the winter with a layered button down underneath.

Kohl's, Thakoon Plaid Flannel Vest, $72

Forget the blanket scarf trend, this is what you need for fall. A little grungy with the flannel and a little menswear with the oversized collar. Love it.

Kohl's, Thakoon Ponte Wrap Mini Skirt, $30

Is there anything particularly eye catching about this skirt? No. But that's the beauty of it. It's the perfect base or staple piece for your closet.

Kohl's, Thakoon Print Pocket Shirt, $32

Mixing prints is always fun, especially when it's done for you. So simple and work-ready.

Thakoon for Kohl's is a beautiful collection with more than 30 pieces under $100. Run, don't walk.
