I am absolutely in love with this Gumshoe Sweatercoat by Anthropologie. It’s the perfect jacket for fall and comes in Ivory, Black, or Purple. The ruffles fall perfectly! This jacket goes great with any dress or even a pair of jeans. Right now its back ordered online but be sure to check it out at an Anthropologie store near you.

This season if you’re looking for a fresh and sexy look, pair a sequin top under a fitted blazer with a pair of skinny jeans or leggings. Here are a few of my favorite sequin tops:

French Connection Blue/Black Sequin Tank $67.85

Newport News Sequin Tank $35.00

I’m always open to trying new hair products especially when it comes highly recommended! My good friend in Cali said her hair stylist raved about Moroccan Oil (note to self: she has the same hair stylist as Kim Kardashian!) so I had to give it a try. So far I have used it for just a few weeks and I love it.

At first I was worried that it would weigh my hair down since it had the word “Oil” in it. But I was way off! It adds so much shine to my hair which is mainly due to the pure argan oil that keeps your hair both conditioned and hydrated. I use about a dime size amount on my hair each time I shower. Sometimes I just give it a messy blow dry if I am short on time and it comes out great–less frizzy and super shiny.

It’s received pretty good reviews and also has been featured in People Magazine. You can find it at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AO0WCG for $28.00 for a 3.4 ounce bottle. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

This fall you should invest in a leather moto jacket!  For a classy yet edgy look pair it with a fitted dress and a pair of heels.  For a more boho chic look pair it with a long shirt, leggings, and boots. The idea is to spot one that is under $100! Here are a few that I’ve had my eye on:

Silence & Noise Faux Leather Moto Jacket

$98.00

Silence & Noise Wyatt Moto Jacket

$59.99 (Was $128.00)

Xhilaration® Moto Jacket – Black

$24.99

byCORPUS Faux Leather Moto Vest

$39.99 (was $98.00)

Silence & Noise Pastel Moto Vest

$59.99(Was $88.00)

Lauren Conrad from “The Hills” has just released her line LC at Kohls! There are some great stylish pieces in her collection and the price is very reasonable!  Also use the promo code NEW7123 and receive an extra 10% off your total purchase.

These are my two favorite items that I just purchased:

These are the most amazing sheets ever! And, no….i am not trying to bring back togas or anything:) I just thought I would share with you my love for Beech Sheets, which are extremely soft and also eco-friendly!  They are not the slippery/silky kind that you can’t afford or find comfort in. Surprising even with their fairly low thread count they are unbelievably soft and comfortable.

These unique sheets are made from modal, a high-strength fiber regenerated from the Beechwood trees of Europe and contain no pesticides or toxic substances, hence why they are so soft.  They come in several colors too! Make sure to use your 20% Bed and Bath coupon when purchasing.

Anna Sui has joined forces with Target to design Gossip Girl inspired gear for an affordable price! Pick your favorite character (Blair, Serena, Jenny, or Vanessa) and emulate their high fashion style! Anna Sui’s pieces can be found both online and at select Target stores.

For those of you that could use a little  junk in the trunk you should check out the dresses below from Lulu.com. The ruffle detail around the waist adds a curvy illusion to any body type. I actually bought a very similar dress to the one below from H&M a few months ago!
