Classic Cool

Valentino
Coat: J Crew (25% off sale ends today with code OURTREAT), Jeans: 7FAM (new favs! Also here), Top: J Crew, Shoes: Valentino (eBay score), Sunglasses: Karen Walker, Bag: Vintage Chanel, Ring: YSL, Necklace: Jennifer Zeuner, Lipstick: Nars Schiap, 

 A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the Westfield Field Mall Style Lounge, as some of you might remember from this post. Along with that, Stacy London put together this (free) Style Manual, which features real women and a few bloggers as models. When putting this particular outfit together, I took inspiration from the Style Manual and used classic pieces from my current wardrobe (a skinny jean + a patterned top) with my coat being the major pop of color. One thing I'm a big believer in, invest in your outerwear pieces. That's the item you'll be wearing over and over again and one of the first things people will see on you. It's like the wrapping on a present!

  54. A. I dominated that JCrew sale today. LOVE 25% off, especially with the student discount they offer on top of that! B. LOVE those shoes. At first I thought you had some sort of funky, crocheted stocking on. They're amazing!

  78. Designer cheap hermes handbags are considered as being one of the most essential style accessories with which to create a fashion cheap chanel handbags statement. They are taken as a symbol of your personality and also reflect your connection discount prada handbags with a special brand. It is all about spending to find your hot designer bag. Yet in some instances these mens jackets may cost a fortune and hence many merely cannot afford to buy them. In such instances you should search for catier love that happen to be as nice as authentic.
