Back by popular demand… my closet!

Dress: Thrift.  Belt: Beatnix.  Shoes: Nine West.

With 96% voting yes, it was definitely time for a closet revisit.  So - as promised… an update to my closet!  Not a lot of changes, but hopefully you’ll enjoy the “up close and personal” review!

My closet is located right off the side of our master bedroom.  My boyfriend’s closet is in the spare bedroom…

And yes, though I wish it was bigger (much envy for Sex & the City closets), it is one of my favorites places in my home.  My boyfriend lovingly put up several of the fabulous racks (yes, the original racks collapsed with all my clothes when we first moved in…), so it reminds me of him as well  :)

Some of my inspiration pics as mentioned in video:

Closet Post 2

Over the hill – 1010 posts and counting!

Skirt: Body by Victoria.  Gathered Mock Turtleneck: Style & Co.  Short Sleeve Blazer: Forever XXI.  Tights: DSW.  Shoes: Marc Fisher.  Necklace: Macy’s.

I can’t believe it – 1010 posts!  I never thought when I started a random little fashion blog to share my daily ensemble choices that it would become a part of my life for the next several years, but nevertheless, here it is!

I decided to count back in hundreds and visit some blasts from the past.  I’d also like to look back and find some of my favorite outfits.  Next week…  :)

 

Thank you

Blue Dress: Banana Republic.  Casual Blazer: DKNY.  Necklace: Macy’s.  Shoes: Nine West.  Bag: Betsy Johnson.

I’m always so inspired and appreciative of my fellow fashion bloggers, but so often I forget to acknowledge your fabulousness!  Today, I thank all my lovlies out there and say keep doing what you’re doing!  My outfit today was inspired by a recent look of Kasmira’s from What I Wore Today. 

 

This is my second noted inspiration from Kasmira, but I’m sure there have been others I’ve just forgotten!

 

Vest Options (part 2)

Back in 2008, I did a post on my Antonio Melan vest and some various ways I’ve worn it.  It is clearly time for an update!

1 easy way to wear a vest for work and/or happy hour dining with friends, is to layer it over a pretty blouse or dress.  Adding bright color accents is also a great way to add interest and “that special something” to a look.

If you’re looking for something a little different, try a trendy fur or zip up vest.  Another option is to search for a vintage “old man” vest.

Basic black and white is always classic and chic.

For a funky mix to weekend looks, add a vest with leggings or jeans and a tee.

 

Color love!  Professional or going out, a colored vest is a great layering option and also adds some good warmth.

  

2010 fashions – are you into it?

Whether a fashionista or not, there will always be fashion trends that pass through our wardrobes.  However, loving fashion doesn’t require loving trends, so I ask the question – are you into it?

Here are some of msn's most fashionable trends as well as a few of my own -

Trend 1: the glitzy tank

Londyn’s Verdict: into it!  I have a couple glitzy tunics and would lurve a glitzy dress.

Trend 2: dark & neon nail polish

Londyn’s Verdict: kind of into it…  I tend to like this more on other people than myself.  I tried black and bright blue once… never again!  I do, however, love dark plum, gray, and bright pinks at the moment.

Trend 3: wavy natural hair

 

Londyn’s Verdict: very into it!!! 

Trend 4: chunky jewelry

Londyn’s Verdict: into it!  I just purchased the above necklace  :)

Trend 5: print jersey dress

Londyn’s Verdict: Always have loved it; always will love it.

Trend 6: the easy blazer

 

Londyn’s Verdict: not in love with it.  It’s not that I don’t like the concept, I actually really like the easy blazer if and when you have to wear a blazer – but honestly I’d just rather do without a blazer the majority of the time and opt for a cute cardigan instead.

Trend 7: the utility jacket

 

Londyn’s Verdict: I dig it – as long as it’s not too slouchy.

Trend 8: one shoulder

Londyn’s Verdict: into it.

Trend 9: the spicy palette

Londyn’s Verdict: not into it; just does not work for me.

Trend 10: flat gladiator sandal

Londyn’s Verdict: comfy cuteness, yep, I’m into it.

Trend 11: the wedge

Londyn’s Verdict: painful cuteness, yep, I’m into that too…

Trend 12: boyfriend jeans

Londyn’s Verdict: not into it.

Trend 13: underwear as outerwear

Londyn’s Verdict: not into it; I’ll leave that trend to the stars.
