The New POWER SUIT

A red suit is a new twist on the wear-to-work suit. Of course red is my favorite color, but a red suit is definitely the new ‘POWER SUIT’! Pair it with classic nude pumps and a crisp white tee or button up and you have a strong fashion forward look for work.

I am absolutely gaga over the red suit in Rachel Zoe’s Fall RTW 2011 collection.
I found the Classic Tailor Tux Jacket at Nordstrom to pre-order. But the jacket alone is $425... so I needed to find a more budget friendly solution.

And thank goodness for Express! They have a similar jacket for $138 & matching pants for $69.90. The entire look for just over $200!

So obviously adding this to my fall shopping wish list!

Wear to go from here… to the office in style!

Feeding the Redecorating Bug

I just signed another year lease at me apartment on July 1st, so that makes 2 years there and one to go! I really love my apartment minus a few small issues. But it’s a MIL in a daylight basement with lots of windows and a view of lake Washington, so I can’t complain about the small things too much.

I have been toying with the idea of re-decorating and love lots of color!! Although I love all the blues and naturals that are popular right now I can’t seem to never shy away from RED! It’s my favorite color and it’s splashed all over my house! I aspire to make it a bit more concentrated and have an actual theme to my decorating like you see in the magazines and on TV. So I have been cutting out and bookmarking pictures I have found for my inspiration for someday re-decorating my house! Since I can’t hire a decorator I will need to get my own inspiration and ideas. More to follow as I find ideas!!
