I went shopping yesterday very quickly after work. I typically don’t step foot in H&M in Manhattan considering it typically involves quite a lot of pushing and waiting. The windows drew me in though and I ended up finding a lot to try on. Now, typically my H&M experience also involves hating 3/4 of what I take into the dressing room but this time I was pleasantly surprised. Let’s just say there is a lot of pattern and a lot of peplum and the fit is exponentially better (most notably that I can actually wear their dresses in public because they fit me length wise). Score!

Mint is officially everywhere. My nails are mint and I have my eye on this mint watch but I’m also obsessed with mint pants, skirts, and blouses. Really, you can pair mint with almost anything. A floral print, leopard print, denim, or just simple color blocking… it works.

Office Dressing

Things were crazy my first five days in a new office with a new role! My desk is all set up now thanks to some seriously pretty office supplies from The Container Store. I love that I don’t have the same supplies as everyone else, bringing your own can really make a cube feel like home (sort of).

I’ve picked up the style of the other people in my office and unfortunately it’s a mixed bag. Seems like half of the girls wear “trendy” clothes, lots of colored jeans and Zara… then the other half wears very “office appropriate” clothes, lots of pencil skirts and heels. I’m going with trendy or else I’d be bored in a week. Like I said last Sunday, I’ve decided to lay everything out for the week to come so yesterday I worked on that for this week. The weather being in the 50s and 60s mean a lot more options to layer. I’m taking inspiration from these lovely ladies this week.

Blue Jean Baby

Although colored jeans are all over the place, and I love them just as much as the next girl, nothing will ever replace the basic blue jean. Whether straight leg, boyfriend, skinny, or flair; blue jeans will always be my “go to”. Boring? I think not!

I told you guys earlier I wouldn’t be able to help showing you J. Crew’s fall 2012 menswear line. I’m totally smitten. Andrew will be wearing some of this whether he likes it or not. The coat in the fourth photo is so amazing, such a great silhouette!

Will the queen of black and gray wear more then one bright color in one sitting? Absolutely not. Who do you think I am? Brad Goreski is always talking about adding a “P.O.C.” (pop of color) to an outfit. Thank goodness… one, and only one, bright color per outfit! Here are some examples of a “P.O.C.” Glitter & Gold style. Looks that are still anchored in black, gray, navy, and camel with a Brad approved pop of a single bright color.
