Casual glam, anyone? Like me, you probably have the black top and skinny jeans that go into such a look, which Ashley Madekwe (aka Ring My Bell and a little show called Revenge) pulls off so well, but in case you don’t have the rest here’s a few potential finds. The kicker? The handbag costs the most. But then again, a chic crossbody pocketbook (I don’t use that word often enough) is an investment and can be worn multiple seasons. Get your wallets ready.
Confession: Nothing irritates me more than discovering a love of something that I’ve previously been indifferent towards. It makes me feel like I’ve been too judgmental, immature, and lacking in style or taste. It happened when I discovered my love of avocados after hating them throughout a childhood of never actually eating them, and it’s even worse when it happens with people. We all have someone who we’ve met years ago and couldn’t stand, and then later reconnect with them, whether by choice or circumstance, and discovered that we were completely wrong about them and have truly missed out. I hate when that happens. And it’s happening again with the color maroon. I’ve always been partial to grays and purples, but maroon is definitely the color for this fall. Maroon, I’m so sorry I never gave you your just due. It’s such a rich addition to any wardrobe or interior styling. My only saving grace is that I’m a fan of Maroon 5. Right? That Adam Levine and his high voice are it.
Just a couple of things on my galaxy chic wishlist right now, and seeing as how I’m on the hunt for a new handbag for spring, the Vivienne Westwood piece is calling me. I can definitely picture it on my arm as I make my way through the airport. What say you?
