Also - I'm in the April/May issue of BRINK Magazine (see bottom photo, so fun!). You can read the full story here, and see last year's men's makeovers here.

  6. Your site is so fresh and so REAL.  I have been intimidated by other fashion blogs in the past but you make it so easy to see the potential in my closet.  You are a daily must read. Thank you, Thank you!!

  11. Don't blame you for wanting to re-create that outfit!  It is hot!  Love cobalt blue and neutrals worn together!  You look great in blue!!  I am so obsessed with your leopard bag!  That is one item I don't have in my closet yet!  xx

  12. Pairing your cobalt skinnies with a really *monochromatic*-neutral clothing palette + a leopard purse is soooo chic!!    You could just fit-right-WITHin your Inspiration Photo, J. ............ (i.e., from this very high-end/upscale blog  http://www.theblondesalad.com/2011/09/my-outfit-for-burberry-fashionshow.html  )............ at LONDON'S Fashion Week in September, 2011;  so maybe you yourself'll simply have to return to London again someday, too!!

    Incidentally, I can genuinely appreciate the great design of the Alexander McQueen Skull & Bee Cocktail Ring, which the person in your Inspiration Photo is wearing on HER lovely left hand--(i.e., see Photo #9 in the Above link)--however............ (although I know it's probably foolish to be creeped-out by a RING!!)............ IF I had LOFT's dreamy/romantic/feminine Pink Oval Stone Ring in my jewelry box, which you're wearing on YOUR lovely left hand............ INSTEAD of the McQueen ring in my jewelry box, I don't think that............ I'd need to  S.L.E.E.P.  W.I.T.H.  T.H.E.  L.I.G.H.T.  O.N.  at night, though, (haha)!!
