MEOW

I'm experimenting with printed jeans and pants right now. I love them but they are really trendy and I don't want to spend too much of my budget on them. I've found some really good ones at Target recently. These are a nice leopard print and looks more expensive when paired with a nice blazer.

This blazer is one of my fall splurges. It will last me alot longer than the pants.

 

 These can work many ways and are quite versatile.

COPY CAT

Geraldine Saglio is another one of the Emmanuelle Alt clones that I love. It must be a prerequisite to be 6ft tall and 100 pounds to work with or stand next too Alt. Anyway even though these photos were taken years ago I still swoon over them. My look is a far cry from Geraldine's but good enough for dumb Oregon.

I once again shopped my closet for this inspired look.

CHILDS PLAY

 I have proclaimed my love for Emmanuelle Alt's style before but now I am in love with her daughters style. Which probably has more to do with the fact that she has her own built in stylist. If it were up to the little girl, given the choice, would she pick Burberry or sweats with princesses on them? We'll never know, nor do I care.So I'll start with baby steps and work my way up to her mothers style.

I'll take inspiration where I can get it.

I shopped my closet for this classic french look. It's nothing new but still one of my favorite looks.

I'M BACK...MAYBE

This is the lamest blog. I took a year off and didn't know if I would return. I will try this time to post with better quality and not quantity.We'll see if it sticks.

Lets start with our annual pilgrimage to Las Vegas.

 4 hours earlier.... fresh and sober.

 Had dinner on the strip at Paris hotel.

 We had the most amazing view of the Bellaigo hotel fountain.

 The next day, thank God for Rock star!

 Went to see Gold and Silver pawn shop from the TV show Pawn Stars.

We then made the mistake we could walk back to the strip from the pawn shop in 2,000degree heat instead of taking a cab. It was a lot farther than we thought.

 But we got to see every Vegas chapel you could think of.

 The drive through chapel was my favorite.

 After a long and hot walk we needed a drink!

 

 Two different shoe options. Above studded?

 Or red stilettos.

 Did some gambling. It went well.

 Visited the gardens at the Bellaigo hotel.

Ok, thats enough fun for one year!

J CREW JUBILEE JACKET REVIEW

Every year at some time or another J Crew comes out with a really good twist on the tweed "lady" jacket. so when they had one of their 30% off promos I had to try this years version.

This is the Jubilee jacket in tinsel. It is a lovely jacket and beautifully made. The fabric is a nude shade with a wonderful nubby woven tweedy texture. It has clear shiny plastic like fibers woven into it giving it a bit of sparkle which my camera did not pick up. It is really well made and fits true to size, unlike some of there jackets like the school boy which I can wear a size 2 or 4. This is a size 2. I really do like this jacket but it doesn't make me pee my pants with excitement( this is an easy task after two kids) like some of the others I have bought. It is a little "mature" looking I guess. And I tried to make it look more funky by pairing it with denim. I don't know.....

Tried it with boyfriend jeans and a stripe tee to see if It would work. I'm not convinced it does.

So I sent it back and even at 30% off . I just don't think see my self grabbing this time ofter time. I don't know, we'll see how low it goes after the holidays.

RAIN STORMS AND TOASTERS

My parents took our kids for the day and when the children are away the parents will......go shopping for a new toaster? Yep that's what we did, in a super rain storm. But any excuse to wear leopard and lots of jewels. I had to add chunky boots on account of all the rain. This is such a boring post.

Got to go!
