Closet Cleanout

I finally completed spring closet cleaning...a little late? Yes, considering autumn is in full swing here, but I know it's spring out there for some of my blog friends!  After filling multiple bags for donation with shoes, clothing, decor, and handbags, I have plenty of space for some new items that I've had my mind and eyes on for quite some time...

{J.Crew Talia Top}

{J.Crew Skinny Jeans}

 

{Banana Republic Mad Men Lace Shell}

 

 

{Topshop Diamante Pinspot Dress}

 

{ASOS Pleated Coat with fold over collar}

 

 

 

And two dreamy items I am still saving my pennies for...

{Chanel Classic Flap Bag in black}

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nouveau Navy

Navy is the new black this fall and I have to admit I'm loving it!  So is the Duchess of Cambridge...

As is Minka Kelly in Dior to die for... 

A few of my favorites, some a bit more attainable...

{Ports 1961...loving this styled just the way it is}

  

{J.Crew..gorgeous blouse but would look better with black leather skinnies and leopard pumps}

{Zara..navy suit with black lapels-this outfit needs a few sparkly vintage necklaces, non?} 

{Navy scarf by Etsy designer smilingpoet}




{Aldo Dostie flat}

 

  

Shopping my closet: Fall 2011 trends

While looking through my closet to see if I own any  items on trend for fall 2011, I found a few pieces that might just work with the addition of some vibrant trendy pieces.

Fall 2011 key pieces that I already own (pictured below): Lace (on this black BCBG dress), black and white menswear (white collar shirt with black ribbon necklace), cobalt blue necklace, graphic striped sweater, sequin pumps, fur (faux) capelet coat, and vintage jewel earrings. Looking dull so far...

Time to add some color to this mix! The trends I am coveting most are a mustard colored dress, red lipstick, & red pants: 



J'adore la pluie!

I love rainy days.  They are so soothing and cleansing.  However, they do make fashion a little more challenging but with the following items, you too might just welcome a rainy day in your future:

{J.Crew rainy day flats $58}

{Cottage Rose Umbrella $85}

{Stella McCartney Double-Breasted Trench Coat}

Happy Monday...Alicia
