Hello! My boyfriend, who has recently been attempting to become even more stylish, saw an amazing cardigan in this month’s GQ. Unfortunately it’s $275. Any recommendations on where I could find a similar sweater for a more affordable price?

BAM! We have your answer:

I agree, that the shoes are the wrong color. Okay? Today I was at the Library with Jane and this lady who was probably about 65 or 70 walks in with so much style! I wish I had my camera. She even had the cutest haircut I’ve ever seen on a lady her age. (no offense) So, this is me trying to re create the look of the super stylish lady. (And yes, she was wearing over sized sunglasses. I want to be her when I’m older…)

Color Wednesday: Turquoise

Emily — Wed, 19 May 2010 20:08:11 +0000

I think that turquoise is one of those great colors that is so likable that it’s hard to overdose on turquoise. Is there anyone out there who doesn’t like turquoise? What’s not to like? It’s cheerful and bright, it’s just perfect for summer, and I bet it’s a color that flatters just about everyone.

I’m a little obsessed with the belt and necklaces here, as well as that floral tee. I don’t know how those gathered sleeves would look on me, but I think I’m going to give it a shot. It reminds me (in a good way) of a top I would have worn in the fourth grade. Sometimes this 80′s trend happening right now can get a little ugly, like a redo of the worst the 80′s had to offer. But I can appreciate some of the good that the 80′s brought us, namely a bright floral print. Remember bodysuits? I can distinctly remember wearing floral bodysuits with ruffled skirts in elementary school.

How about you? Are you on board with the 80′s? And am I guessing correctly, is turquoise a universally loved color?

Color Wednesday: Bright White

As the weather gets warmer, nothing seems more breezy than bright white. I love white in the summertime, and it’s a great neutral to pair with gold, floral prints, nautical stripes…anything, really! I love the Shabby Apple dress in the top right and think it would make such a great bridesmaid dress. I’ve seen (although not very often) weddings where the bride has her bridesmaids in white, too, and I think it’s just beautiful. Imagine a summer wedding with the bride in a beautiful white dress and her bridesmaids in sweet white dresses…it would be so lovely. Quick! Is anyone getting married soon? Take this idea and run with it! Oh, and don’t forget Emersonmade flowers, the men could all have a small white bloom on their black tuxedos. Now that would look great. Seriously, I need to plan weddings for a living. I could dream this stuff up all day.

Color Wednesday: Spring Greens

Emily — Wed, 05 May 2010 14:20:00 +0000

I’ve had my eye on that cute short-sleeve jacket from Shade Clothing (bottom left) for a little while now, so a light spring green color came to mind this week. I’m definitely feeling the freshness of green lately. Oh, by the way, you know that these Color Wednesday boards are just a big round-up of lovely things all in the same color, right? I was thinking about it this morning and wouldn’t want someone to think I’m implying that green chino trousers would look great with a striped green cardigan, green earrings, and green espadrille wedges. Yikes, that’s a lot of green! These are just fun options to consider adding to your wardrobe to liven it up with some color, but color when it’s all matchy-matchy looks kind of silly, no? What do you think?

Color Wednesday: Coral

Emily — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 14:43:24 +0000

I love coral, although I usually refer to it as “salmon pink” because my husband has a rad thrift store shirt that is very clearly pink but he calls it salmon. Anyway, this is a great spring color. I love it paired with gray, tiffany blue, or with red in a monochromatic look. I’m a little obsessed with that wrap cardigan at the bottom, and I’m A LOT obsessed with Emersonmade‘s crazy awesome flowers. Maybe the perfect Mother’s Day gift? What’s your favorite?
