I’ve been avoiding the fur vest trend for a while now, because frankly… they can make you look really bulky. However, I had a change of heart when I found this belted version at Armani Exchange a couple of weeks ago. I love it paired with sleek riding pants and a cozy sweater for a casual weekend look.

I purchased this vest online a while back and was a little disappointed with the extra large armholes… not flattering at all! Fortunately, a quick trip to the tailor nipped that little issue right in the bud.

Seeing me in jeans is a rare occurrence indeed, but every now and then I do get the urge to don a pair. I’ve tried to put my trusty yellow pumps away for the season twice already only to keep digging them back out again. If this keeps up, someone’s going to have to pry these things off of my cold, frost-bitten toes this winter!
This weekend was pretty laid back. I had a bunch of items on my to-do list, but the only one I got around to was stopping by the C. Wonder store opening.
The place was jam-packed, but I managed to snag some free brownies, a new gold and tortoise-shell watch, and a magnificent yellow and green envelope clutch. In case you’re wondering just what the heck C. Wonder is, I overheard one shopper describing it to her friends as “a mix of Tory (Burch), (Jonathan) Adler, and Lily (Pulitzer)”. I have to agree that her description just about summed things up, and I would just add that the C. Wonder price-points are a lot more wallet-friendly. For instance, my new clutch was $24, and the watch was $68 (a far cry from this $250 Michael Kors Chronograph I’ve been pining over for the past year).
