FEBUARY IS PINK MONTH

Thank god January is over! I am so glad the love month is here! I used to think a whole month devoted to stupid Valentines day was well, stupid! And my husband and I used to avoid it like the plague. But now after having my girls I "love" it! A whole month devoted to pink And any Holiday that focuses on chocolate is ok in my book. My husband and still don't celebrate it for us but for the children we go all out! So I am going to try to wear lots of pink this month, for the girls of course. This is a "vintage" J Crew Lexington jacket I had to find on ebay.
I got a really good deal; 54.00 and in perfect condition. I was so stupid
not to buy up all the colors in this jacket. I Wish they would bring it back.

I love the fit and the hand painted red and pink buttons are so chic.

This J Crew striped sequin tee in neon rose I failed to buy last summer and have been looking for it on ebay with no luck. I was happy to find it on line at the JC outlet store for 29.00. I ordered a medium and pray it fits. This year I am more in love with florescent colors than ever and lucky for me they seem to hot this season. How ever I have always loved a shot of color like hot pink and or green or orange...Hence my Louis Vuitton denim messenger bag with electric lime green/yellow straps. I've started with this J Crew hot pink long sleeve tee. I don't know what it's name is because I got it my local J Crew store and I could not find it on the web site yet. It's a lot more florescent pink in person, sort of hurts your eyes! I want to wash it and let it fade in the sun a bit when the weather gets nicer.

Here it is with the Anne Taylor jacket.

These are my new Dior cat eye sunglasses! I have been wearing my Ray Bans for a few years now and needed a new look.

sense this post is about my obvious obsession with jackets why not add one more?

I am saving now for this Tory Burch tweed and sequin trim jacket! What? I don't have a tweed one!

The white J Crew eye lash tweed jacket and new glasses. Stupid pose.

J CREW CHRISTMAS WISH

MY J CREW CHRISTMAS WISH LIST.....A BIT OF A DISAPPOINTMENT.BE JENNA LYONS. OK THAT'S GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN CHRISTMAS MAGIC, SO

I'D SETTLE FOR DRESSING LIKE HER BUT EVERY THING I WANT IS ALREADY SOLD OUT!

NOT SOLD OUT YET BUT I'M SURE IT WILL BE SOON.
AND WAY OVER PRICED.
GONE. I'VE BEEN WANTING THIS SINCE IT CAME OUT AND I WAITED TO BUY IT UNTIL IT WENT ON SALE OR I HAD A REWARD CARD, I WAS TRYING TO BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE AND NOW IT'S GONE. DITTO FOR ALL THE OTHERS TOO.
I GUESS IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE..

NOPE. NO LONGER AVAILABLE IN MY SIZE.
LIKE I NEED ANOTHER JACKET!

WAS THERE JUST YESTERDAY BUT NOW NO WHERE TO BE FOUND?
OH WELL, I CAN'T WEAR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL JACKETS I ALREADY OWN.

I REALLY SHOULD ASK FOR HYPNO. THERAPY FOR MY SHOPPING PROBLEM.

I HAVE SINNED!

Well it was bound to happen. I fell off my fashion diet. If I didn't buy all this stuff listed I would have my Louis Vuitton scarf by now. I feel so guilty! But not so guilty that I return all of it. Gucci Guilty

At least now I can smell how I feel.

I finally got the J Crew Martha necklace! I had to wait a year but I finally got it while

they were running a 25% off promotion and I used my 50.00 rewards coupon! I love it so much! It's the second from the bottom.

Urban Outfitters

I have longed for a leopard coat/jacket sense I saw Kate Moss with one and I'm not a fan

of the faux fur ones they keep showing every where. I just feel like I'm wearing a stuffed animal. I started to feel like maybe I wasn't bold enough to wear one, Until today! I love, love this jacket by Ann Taylor! For one thing it's not fur it's boiled wool. The cut and fit is very retro yet modern. The colors are muted and the leopard print is just done soo well. It looks like Dolce and Gabbana. It look really expensive and sort of was at 228.00. But I used the friends and family coupon and got 30% off.

This is what I wore to the mall today. I posted it because so many people kept asking me about my sweater. Alas it is by Ruehl and they are no longer in business. Soo sad to because I loved their clothes. Now I have to find them on ebay.

I like the grey hoodie with it but not too sure about the fur collar.

Trying out my new glasses.

My hair looks like crap.

EMMANUELLE ALT STYLE ICON

I believe I have professed my love for this woman's style before. She always has the most amazing jackets mixed with very wearable basics. I'm pretty sure she and other editors have been the catalyst for my jacket/blazer obsession.

Why doesn't my hair look super cool all stringy and messy? I tried this and it just ends up looking dirty and greasy.

Anyway,

I found this jacket at Zara when I was in London and nearly fell over! Finally the Emmanuelle blazer I have lusted over! While it's not navy and not Balmain it is as close as I'm going to get.

It originally had boring black buttons but I replaced them with gold military buttons!

It also had no functional buttons on the sleeves. I had all these vintage small crest buttons that I've been saving for years. I had those sewn on the the sleeves too. As shown above. I often find things and add my own touch, like pins, patches or a snip here and there. It can make all the difference in the world like with this jacket. My mom is the one who sewed the buttons on for me but you can find a tailor to do the same. This blazer turned out so well we now want to do it to more of my jackets!

BURBERRY LUST, BEBE MUST

I love the military trend and no one has done it better this year than Burberry!

Pictures from style.com

I found this amazing military jacket at BEBE. It is made out of a very authentic feeling thick wool felt.The extensive tailoring and detailed gold buttons make this jacket look really expensive! It has princess shoulders but not soo big that it screams 2009,

( that's when this big shoulder thing started and I have never really bought into it. It will eventually make us all go "ugh that's so dated").

I folded mine back and used an old Fendi pin I had to pin back the other side.

I really think its as good as your going to get for under 200.00.

Sorry these photos are not very good. So dark and cold here now, not a lot of natural light.

I don't have a picture that turned out of the back but it is really detailed! You must check it out on line to see all of the detail.
