no size!

I hit the Leesburg outlets on Saturday afternoon and I was so sad when I came into the JCrew store and there were lots of Elizabeth silk halters and none were in my size. aaahhh!!!! they were on sale for $29.99 and it was truly truly sad.

here's all the tops I want from Jcrew right now, thank you polyvore! :)

GAP goodness

a few weekends ago my mom, sister and I made our way to the Leesburg Pike outlets where I found a soft grey peacoat sweater that reminded me of a less expensive mike & chris hoodie. I haven't bought too many things from GAP since the design vs. retail price just doesn't seem worth it. but upon finding this sweater for $40 it screamed buy me, buy me now.


today i found myself wandering over to the GAP website and clicked on their romantic collection which has the text: sweet, polished vibe with a casual vibe. The color pallete consists mainly of pinks, creams, khakis, bluish-grays, and whites. Materials include cottons, jersey and silk.


My favorite piece from this collection is the cropped bomber jacket for $68.


A chunky, textured basketweave is the perfect counterpoint to the great feminine details, like puff sleeves and a cropped length. An unexpected, edgy belt rounds out the look.

The ruffled cami in Nude Rose is also a wonderfully soft and feminine piece.

100th post! with things im currently lovin...

Dolce Vita Drape Collar Coat from Urban Outfitters for $199. I love the dramatic collar! It's so beautifully constructed and I truly wish that UO would hurry up and markdown the price even more. Sigh. As if I dont have enough coats to last me 3 winters already!

Solid silk Elizabeth halter from J. Crew for $88.00 (also comes in white, yellow and black). omgod im really digging the wonderful necklines that have been popping up in jcrew dresses and tops!!!

Dotted Chiffon blouse from Forever 21 $19.50. This fun and flirty blouse screams feminine to me and i love the detailing!

I started buying ruffled shirts last christmas when I scored a bulk of them for el-cheapo and now it's been wonderful to see them in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and fabrics.

Talie Women's Cap Sleeve Belted Sweater Jacket from Overstock.com for $35.99! Don't these look soooo wonderfully comfortable? I'm love the grey and black (as most of my wardrobe consists of greys and blacks hehe...) the yellow is such a pretty color as well but unfortunately it looks pretty dreadful on me! I bought one blouse in that color and for the life of me it's looked awful everytime I've tried to wear it, so pass. :)
