Ranting about...

I'm a little peeved with myself because I managed to lose 2 pairs of sunglasses in less than 2 weeks. Somebody in Colorado is walking around with a kick ass pair of YSL Sunglasses. Argh. And just yesterday after complaining to hubby about the lost sunglasses I lose my favorite cat eye sunglasses a few hours later. Grr.

What else am I ranting about? Finding something on super sale that I paid retail for. American Eagle is one of my dark horses when it comes to shopping because it fits petite frames so well. While at Marshalls I noticed that they had a ton of American Eagle items. I thought, hmpf, new vendor this could be good. Then I found two things I bought last year at almost full price. Argh. Grr. Grumble.


Ok. Now that they are side by side I am seeing what you are probably thinking. These two items look pretty much the same. I promise they are so different. If you missed out on either of these last year, hit up Marshalls or even try their sister store TJ Maxx. The Sergeant Pepper Jacket is $20 and the Military Sweater Jacket is $16. The military trend has come back with a full vengeance so scour the racks for these babies.

Lookbook (Gray Moment)

{Cardigan: JCrew Ocelot, Jeans: Forever 21, Shoes: Dolce Vita
Necklace: Express, Belt: ShopRuche}

I love this belt so much that I wore it two days in a row. It seems to go with everything and even with a gray moment, it pairs perfectly with the ever popular J Crew Ocelot cardigan. The outfit looks to be channeling a modern day Peg Bundy. If only I could have her daily routine of soaps, bon bons, no cooking and no cleaning. And if I actually did have that routine I could wear those platform mary janes all day and shimmy around like Peggy. In reality, I had to slip into some JCrew studded sandals to go about my day.

Lookbook (Frame of Reference)

{Blazer: Max Azria, Tank: Forever 21, Shorts: American Eagle,
Necklaces: Aqua & Forever 21, Belt: ShopRuche, Shoes: BCBGeneration,
Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Benny}

This morning was bordering on chilly, a sure sign that Fall is on its way. A perfect day for a light blazer and shorts. You can guarantee though that I will be stripped down to just a tank and shorts by late afternoon.

My Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Benny bag was featured on Gilt yesterday for a great price. One thing that peeves me about Gilt is that they never post pictures of handbags with a model. I like a frame of reference for sizing. They only show the bag with a fake hand. Annoying, especially when the bag is a final sale. So if you bought the bag and have any doubts, here's a modeling shot for reference and congrats if you were able snatch it up.
