Did You Go Lilly for Target CRAZY?

Let's get #LillyCrazy!

Lilly-mania has come and gone. Well, it kind of had to; the widely-anticipated Lilly Pulitzer collaboration with Target sold out in mere MINUTES. Target has set a high standard with their previous designer collaborations: I started paying attention during the Isaac Mizrahi for Target years (one of my favorite dresses of all time is from this line, a line that shuttered in 2008!) and since, I have snagged amazing pieces from Missoni, the CFDA/Neiman Marcus collection, Thakoon and Proenza Schouler. But Lilly. Oh, that Lilly Pulitzer! The furor! The (hilarious) … [Read more...]

Spring is Here, and Spring Style has Sprung!

SPRING IS HERE!

I don't know how excited you are but I am so darn HAPPY that it is finally spring! I broke out my spring style favorites and had a ritualistic burning of all of my winter clothing because I was too filled with joy to think rationally. I so rarely remember to take photos of my outfits, so I'm treating you a 'lil bit, showing you what I look like without a sweater and a beanie. Crop tops never went out of style for me; my stomach has been hanging out freely since 1985. I grabbed this one in two colors from H&M last summer. I paired the short shirt with a knit … [Read more...]

Let Bruno Mars Uptown Funk Up Your Day Job

Uptown Funk Up your day Job

Friday. I'm so restless. I want to be out in the wide world, frolicking and dancing, singing and twirling. But mama's got bills to pay, so I'm at work. Fortunately, I'm a creative and blasting the jams is part of my PROCESS.  Producer Mark Ronson's newest release, "Uptown Special" is near ready-made for getting the creative juices flowing. The first release from the album is "Uptown Funk" featuring my petite brown prince, Bruno Mars. The groove flowed all the way through me. All the way. Before long, I had the song on repeat and Bruno was practically my cube-mate. … [Read more...]

Michelle and Alicia: Sisters in SOTU Style

MICHELLE

It was a shady, shady night folks! If you were watching President Barack Obama's penultimate State of the Union speech, then you know just the moment I'm talking about. Obama: "I have no more campaigns to run." Republicans: *applause* All: *laughter* Obama: "I know because I won both of them." But the real star of the night (for me, my mother and my sister, at least) was First Lady Michelle Obama's fly suit. The grey, nubby suit was perfection on Mrs. Obama and seemed to be made to be worn by a powerful, self assured mother of two--- gasp! I had seen that suit … [Read more...]

The Essentials: Outerwear

Ok, so the cold finally broke through. Though I, foolishly, have my legs out and exposed to the elements today, I also have the heat on. This weekend, I am going someplace cold. I'm freaking out. I haven't dry-cleaned any of my coats from last winter so they're all stashed in various cubbies and holes in my apartment awaiting their re-emergence and return to glory. This started me thinking, "Maybe I should just buy a new coat!"     The Essentials: Outerwear. by kerriestella featuring long woolen coats Alexander McQueen black double breasted … [Read more...]
