HOLY BLONDE

So I am considering going blonde, I shall keep my belles posted, but some of my inspirational photos involve my girl Whit:

Muffy, Yuppie and All Things Stuffy

I like to consider myself a bit of a prep, well I am an equestrian, a sorority girl, and crazy for anything monogrammed so maybe I am a bona fide Prepster.  But it most definitely has reached quite a new level. I sometimes think I am most definitely in the wrong place, because I love all things East Coast. The style of houses, the sports (lacrosse, polo, crew) and ultimately I love the timeless, conservative style.  Classic sheath silhouettes, bright pink and green, collegiate plaids, David Yurman, UHH MAJOR! Not to mention I love preppy, fun decor of Jonathan Adler and Ralph Lauren.  TIME to relocate so I can reach my TRUE PREP potential.

Invest to Impress

It's been too long dear belles.  But alas I have returned! As the le Jour de l'An has come and passed I have made some promises to myself that I will most definitely try my hardest to keep.  Of course I have your stereotypical pledge to get in shape and lose some MIZZOU L-B's but I also have a quest to seek the finest in my investment pieces in terms of my closet.  Now I have always been a quantity over quality in terms of clothes, however as I reach the second annual celebration of my 21st birthday, I find myself needing more sophisticated items.  Now I'm not saying I am going to turn my back on forever21, but it is my current mission to save my dollars for larger, more wiser purchases.  So as it stands, to impress I must invest.  Let me break it down... 

{ #1 Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Sandal } 

 { #2 Calvin Klein Belted Sheath Dress }

{ #3 Hermes cognac belt }

{ #4 West Avenue medium Monogram Necklace } 

 { #5 Burberry Trench } 

{ #6 Loeffler Randall Demi-Wedge knee Boot } 

{ #7 French Connection two tone blazer } 

{ #8 Tom Ford Margaux Sunnies } 

{ #9 Gilt Groupe is a FABULOUS place to find daily deal$ on Premium Designer merch,
like this TIBI faux fur belted coat, honestly most of my investment purchases will
most definitely be from my newest bookmark GILT.com }

{ #10 Who says all investment buys have to be boring? I die over ALL of the Lanvin
for H&M pieces. SHUT IT DOWN with this Banana Yellow asym frock }  

WAKE UP Winter Wear

Oh sweet Belletristic it has been oh too long, I have been so busy in school and such that I have been neglecting my poor little blog. But as my favorite season approaches it is unavoidable for me to talk about all the things I love, SCARVES, BOOTS, LUXE COATS! [WAKE UP, WINTER IS HERE], and Who says that Winter is about drab boots and wimpy wear. NO THANK YOU! Dial up your winter wear with bitchin' boots and OUTRAGEOUS outerwear!
