all that glitters.

September 13th, 2011 by Ruth

lately, i’ve been obsessing over anything that’s glitter. in my mind, the more the merrier applies to more than just parties and gatherings. so as if my sally hansen salon effects weren’t enough, i piled on my favorite silver bracelets [note: charm bracelet from college packed with memories from studying in florence, my 21st birthday, etc.], wore my striped j.crew shirt that has sequins on it, added my jeweled necklace from j.crew and wore my ellen tracy heels that have patent leather on them.

so i got the pants from j.crew outlet, i know, where else? anyways, they were $30 and i couldn’t resist. i like pairing a snazzy shirt with a casual pant, or vice versa. and the bag, is my trusty felix rey for target [no longer available]. while the piping is popping out and the seams are fraying, i can’t get enough of the shape, color and hardware.

how do you bring your casual pieces into the mix?

comfy isn’t chic {in this instance}.

So, maybe this isn’t the most flattering outfit. The skirt (Target) is a tich too big, the shirt is shapeless (just like I like it), and perhaps heels would have been better than the silver Calvin Klein flats. But hey, I have my fair share of BAD days too. What I do like is the texture of this shirt and the fact that I got it for $12 at Marshalls. I also love this bejeweled J.Crew necklace. How would you wear your favorite t-shirt and skirt?

My dear friend Rosemary, brought in her 28th birthday with a “Nantuck in NYC” party on the rooftop of her East Village apartment. To complement the popped collars, boat shoes, Lilly Pulitzer and madras prints I wore a paisley print J.Crew dress, which has pockets, obvs. Paired with strands of J.Crew pearls, a green linen blazer, and a white Banana Republic bag made of luscious leather, I was ready to paint the town red.

totally 80′s

May 9th, 2011 by Ruth

When I came across this totally 80′s number on the H&M rack, I got super excited. I made a beeline to the changing room and the reflection in the mirror gave me a two thumbs up. While the torso could be a bit longer to accommodate my needs, I couldn’t pass up this fun print and the happy colors – I mean, this is H&M, not Hermes. For $70, I added this dress to the collection and partnered it with my flat J.Crew t-straps. Can’t you see Kelly wearing this on her date with Zach? Totally rad!

Casual sunday.

February 24th, 2011 by Ruth


Shirt: American Apparel

Cardigan: J.Crew

Lip: MAC Russian Red Lipstick

Necklace: Kailis “O” Pendant

Pants: Target brand leggings

A huge fan of Kailis, I am drawn to the “O” necklace as it’s long, has a pearl (OBVI), and amps a casual Sunday outfit. I love wearing this American Apparel dress t-shirt on the wekeends – it’s comfortable, soft, and neutral in color. Obsessed with a red lip, MAC’s Russian Red Lipstick is a rich, deep red that is easy to wear.

What’s missing?

February 18th, 2011 by Ruth

Absolutely nothing! I punched up the first warmer day this season with my bright Tucker for Target dress and amped it up with a brown hounds tooth stocking, brown metallic shoes from Aerosoles, a blue wool cardigan from J.Crew and wool animal print cape from Target. You dig?
