C. Wonder & FNO!

Wow, I've been pretty inconsistent lately, haven't I? I do apologize, but I must say I'm not avoiding you all on purpose. Truth be told, I'm intensely job hunting, and it's no joke. Finding a job is practically a full-time job. And when you're searching amidst an internship and trying to maintain some semblance of a social life, it can become a pretty tough juggling act. But enough about that boring stuff...

When I was out in NYC last February for a school networking trip, I happened across an extremely colorful and eye-catching store while strolling through (and trying not to buy all of) SOHO. I decided to take a quick browse while I killed time before dinner and was pleasantly surprised by what I found. C. Wonder is a color-obsessed person's dream as it offers goodies - from home decor to jewelry to tech accessories - in a palette that rivals the prettiest of rainbows.  So, as you may have guessed, I was instantly obsessed. In the few minutes I had to scour the store, I managed to snag the two-tone clutch featured in this blog post. There are currently only nine stores in the U.S., but here's to hoping they open one in the Chicago area soon. I think it would be a hit. After all, there seems to be a little something for everyone - from the stud-wearer (me) to the monochrome-tote-bearing prepster. 

Here's a selection of some of my favorite items. If you're interested in perusing all of C. Wonder's wonderfulness, visit their online shop!

And now, time for bed my friends. But, how could I forget...

Happy Fashion Night Out to everyone celebrating tomorrow! 
I will be visiting a couple different events: Free People at Water Tower and the Chicago Sun-Times and Saks Fifth Ave event. Seriously cannot wait to spend the evening celebrating one of my favorite things! Bring on the fashion.

trend watch - ankle booties

I'm back and beginning to be recovered from an AMAZING weekend in Colorado for the wedding of a close family friend. Post on that coming soon! I apologize for my absence, but I'm back with some good material for you all:)

Between online shopping, obsessive reading of fashion mags and in-store shopping browsing, I can't help but notice that ankle booties are the must-have staple for the swiftly approaching fall season. As the perfect accompaniment for dresses, jeans, shorts, skirts - the list goes on, I'd say that it's worth your hard-earned money to invest in a pair for fall/winter. Whether you prefer spikes, glitter, tribal print, or simply no detailing, there's a pair out there for you. I've gathered a range of styles, so there's sure to be something below to catch your eye. And, I've provided some pics that show just how versatile ankle booties are!

Patriotic Picks

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of posts these past few days...the job search and my chloe+isabel work has taken precedence over my blogging:/ But I'm back, and have some seriously lust-worthy and patriotic picks for the upcoming holiday - the 4th of July! I think between the spirit of the day and the fun festivities that always take place, the 4th has become one of my most anticipated holidays. And, not to mention, its usually one of the shining, most memorable days of each summer.

Anyone that knows me can tell you that I get really into holidays...I mean like the whole nine yards. Between decorations and my themed outfits, I never miss the opportunity to fully celebrate. That's why every time the 4th comes around, I want to buy new spirited items to wear in order to show my USA pride. I picked a few a ton of my favorite 4th-ready items below to get me {and hopefully you too!} excited for next Wednesday's celebrations. I'm especially loving the Wildfox flag sweater in the middle...perfect for a casual swimsuit coverup as shown by a couple of my favorite style icons!

God Bless Amuricah {cue George Bush voice}.

I'll be heading to the lake! Anyone have any exciting plans for the 4th?
