Just Out of Retox
Summer is finally over and I'm free to lift my self-imposed ban on shopping. Am brimming with excitement of what's to come, as fall is my very favorite season of fashion. My list is already a mile long and am dizzy at the thought of a closet filled with super-chic fall treats.

This fall I'll be chic every day of the week. I'll be ladylike and prim in velvet and edgy in denim (for day only). This season I will not step out of the house with out a look (one that everyone will recognize). This is my pledge and I tend to keep it.

Having stated my season's fashion goals, I settled myself in front of my PC, armed with my September issues and a Diet Coke, and went straight to shopbop.com. (They are my most trusted online shopping advisors, and I'm pretty much guaranteed to leave the site a satisfied customer.) Am now eagerly awaiting my packages and mentally planning my outfits for the first official month of fall.

In my shopping cart:
1) My Daytime chic look: Skinny leg jeans by Citizens of Humanity and an oversized turtleneck sweater, which could pass as your boyfriend's. I'll add ballet flats to complete my 'out running errands' look. (If you're unsure about purchasing denim online, never fear because the thoughtful crew at shopbop.com has added a guide to help you and your body type find a pair.)
2) My casual yet still fashion-conscious weekend look (can also double as my 'off to yoga' look): Juicy Couture Cashmere Hoody and Cashmere Pants. (In straying from my mandated signature color, I went with pink.) If you haven't slipped into one of these suits you haven't lived - seriously. They're that comfortable and totally chic.
3) My Dinner & Drinks Look: Tailored black pants and a sexy silk top. Since this season denim is mainly 9-5, cocktails and dinners are stepping it up a notch. And thanks to Theory, we'll never be caught without a pair of flattering black pants.
4) For shopping with friends: V-neck sweater with collar (should maybe reconsider orange and go with pink) and a flirty skirt. I'll add a sleek carry-all and try a beret (on my extremely fashion-forward days).
5) Something tweed: I just can't resist this patch-pocket skirt. Will be just perfect with the arsenal of tights I splurged on.
6) My mini. Enough said.
7) My coat. A fun animal print number, because the prints are finally back. (That is, they're fashionably acceptable.)

Having put in a full day at the computer, I'm off for a refresher at my nail salon. As I wait for my fall Looks to arrive, I've already begun my next wish list.

Cheers,
