What I’m Wearing

Clutch: Rebecca Minkoff
Belt (not shown): J Crew

My bangs are so annoying. I got them cut too short thinking that I could deal with them a little short so that I wouldn’t have to get them trimmed as often but now I hate them. I end up pinning them back every day.  If you’re on my facebook or twitter you may have seen my update about my T3 blow dryer that exploded while I was drying my hair.  Scariest thing ever!  While I was blow drying I thought I heard it making a funny noise so I pointed it away from my hair (thank goodness!) because as I did that, the inside of the dryer went “BOOM! BOOM!” a few times and I screamed in fear as I tried to turn it off but the thing wouldn’t turn off and it was still popping and cracking while in my hand.  I screamed the entire time because I didn’t know what to do!  It finally stopped and then I dropped it to the ground and you could hear all the little parts of the motor had shattered inside.  I now call it my very expensive maraca as all it does it make rattling noises now.  I got some fantastic feedback from you guys on facebook on which hair dryer I should buy and did a ton of research on which got the best reviews.  It was hard to decide but I ended up getting the Elchim 2001 from Folica.com and I got it in the mail yesterday and can’t wait to try it out.  I’ll let you guys know how I like it!  BTW, I’m NEVER buying T3 again! I love my T3 curling iron but the hair dryer thing was traumatic.  After that happened, I went online and saw that the same thing happened to a lot of people so I’m warning those of you with a T3 hair dryer that if it starts making a strange noise like you’ve never heard it make before, kind of like a strong buzzing noise, turn it off, put it down and step away before it explodes!

This is my exact blazer but it kind of looks terrible on this mannequin right?  Trust me when I say it looks much better on and in person.  And good for those of  us with short arms that regularly have to roll our sleeves up.  This one has the perfect length sleeves!

The LOFT blazer is great and comes in regular and petite sizes and they are doing 40% off all orders right now!  (And if you use ebates, you’ll get 3% cashback as well) Check out the  T by Alexander Wang Knit Blazer love the unexpected cut out on the back!

This Forever21 Embroidered Floral Tunic would be cute with this outfit too. Or a striped tunic would look great too. Love the red!

Madewell now has these denim leggings, you know, leggings that look like denim as opposed to jeggings and I’m curious about them. I actually haven’t been to Madewell in about a month (!) so I’m going to try and go soon and try these on and scope out all the new stuff.

Christian Louboutin Ron Ron

You could also get the  Simple Pump 85.  I prefer the Simple 100 pumps but these are fab for those of you that don’t want as high of a heel.  The ones I’m wearing are the Ron Ron pumps in the patent leather.  These are actually the 2nd pair of Louboutins I had ever bought!  They don’t get worn as much now but they are one of the first that started my crazy collection.

For a better price point, did you see these ? Really cute!  I tried these Pour la Victoire platform pumps, which are pretty much dupes of the YSL Tributes and they are very comfy! 

One last note, I get a lot of questions and comments about my jewelry and how to wear it, how to layer it, how to know if you are wearing too much, too little, etc… Check out my post on the Smarter blog for my tips on how to add jewelry to your outfits!
