Fossil has got some pretty cute things right now!

Loving this dress from Madewell right now. It’s hard to love that price tag though…

This wedding got me so excited!  Such a pretty simple affair.

My mind began to spin with wedding inspiration.

ciao ciao and happy shopping!

I have a pair of old UGG snow boots that I continue to drag around California with me because I love them. I can’t give them up. What if I live somewhere snowy in a couple of years? If you have to go out in the snow you might as well be wearing a fun pair of boots. Whether its a classic boot or one with fun colors, you should have a snow boot you love enough to hold onto. Even if you move to California.

wedding season is just around the corner!

love this modest beautiful gown.

j-crew always has fashionable modest options or choices that can be easily altered.

A statement necklace is a great accessory when it comes to party season. They immediately dress any outfit up.  Kate Spade and J.Crew make my favorite jewelry.

If you’re going to a casual holiday party but want something a little blingy, go for a top with some sparkle. These tops would look great with jeans and heals. Sparkles always dress up a pair of jeans!

This is a great party dress. For new years eve? AND it’s available in plus sizes too!

It’s time to be thinking about those holiday parties. So to kick off the party season lets start with the “little”  black dress. The black dress is a great “go to” option. It’s classic and very easy to style . And chances are you’ve got one in your closet. Dress it up with a cute pair of tights and heals and have fun with the accessories.

i need ALL of these from beklina.

good lengths and necklines, no?

I’ve put together a few thanksgiving outfits. Whether you’re eating with roommates and friends, headed out to a restaurant or carving the turkey with your future in-laws, there’s an outfit for you.

• Thanksgiving outfits should be comfortable (you’re going to be eating a lot).
• Though the elastic waistband of sweats might be great for your expanding belly, make sure you feel confident and happy in your outfit!
• It’s the start of the holiday season, so be festive (that does not mean wearing a sweater with a turkey on it).
• Plan what you’re wearing early (you’ve got a week), not when there are five things that need to go into the oven.

I love boots. I look forward to fall, knowing I can wear boots everyday. You can wear them with anything and everything (I know, I do). They work with dresses and skirts to jeans and cords. Boots are definitely a great investment piece!

I’m loving all the coats i’m seeing around the city. Bundling up in a fashionable coat makes the cold weather a little more bearable!

One of my favorite things about fall and winter is wearing tights. They do the job of keeping you warm and looking great.

They’re a great accessory and a pretty inexpensive way to change up an outfit!

loving a pair of Frye boots? chances are you can find the exact same look at target.

The boots on the left are by Frye and the boots on the right are by Xhilaration.

Look 1: Frye $327.95 – Xhileration $49.99

Look 2: Frye $317.95 - Xhileration $69.99

save yourself a couple hundred dollars and check them out at target!

oh, the fur vest…

do you rock the fur vest? I have yet to sport a fur vest myself but I love it on other people.

There are few things holding me back. Am I cool enough? Do I have the confidence?

 I’m not sure. But maybe if I channel my inner Rachel Zoe, I could do it. Maybe we could all do it.

So have you tried the trend? How did it go? Tell me.  If you haven’t whats holding you back?

i love it when the fashion industry highlights the fact that modesty can be chic, trendy, modern and beautiful.

ELLE has a great Trend Report on all the 2011 Fall Runways.

If you hadn’t noticed, our site has been down. I have changed the dates of the contest (see below) so, you can still enter! 

OR any other item from ModBe’s new arrivals section.

Love this dress!  It is so fun and flattering. The elastic waste band highlights the slimmest part of any girls figure. As Always, I’m impressed by the quality and fabric. This dress is prefect for the warmer weather of fall and can easily be styled well into the winter months. Its fun, but neutral, floral pattern makes it very versatile. It would make a great addition to any girls closet!

A lucky winner in the United States can have her choice of one item from the new arrivals sections.  To enter, please visit www.modbeclothing.com and tell us which new arrival  you’d love to add to your closet. Snag an extra entry by liking Modbe on Facebook. Contest ends 9/18/2011 at 11:59 PST. Winner to be announced 9/19/2011. Good luck!

I love Kate Spade Jewelry. What girl wouldn’t? I may not be able to afford half of it, but I can still admire it. Her stuff would be perfect for a wedding (can I have a do-over?) or party. The littler items like rings and bracelets would make really cute gifts as well. Shop (or admire) away!

Mad Men is bringing back the fashion of the 1960s. Recently, Banana Republic teamed up with Mad Men costume designer, Janie Bryant, to bring you a great collection inspired by the show. So go ahead and dress like Peggy, Betty or Joan.

I don’t miss much about living in the suburbs, but I definitely miss Target. We’re supposed to get one here in 2013 or something like that. But until then, here are a few items you can checkout online or in your nearest Target.

I’m loving the jewelry from etsy shop, ISWAS + WILLBE. Check them out and you will too!
