Face off...

This morning I received my Goop newsletter, Fall Fashion on JCrew and as much as I love J. Crew, I only wish I could afford their price tags. Sigh! However, this morning I was a little excited because, The Goop herself, listed a gorgeous Denim shirt that I have been on the hunt for since last fall, but for me the search was over, as I had found one just yesterday (thanks to my October 2012 Lucky Magazine) at none other than Target! 

The shirt that Xtina Aguilera is wearing on the October 2012 cover can be found at your local Target store for the great price of $19.99, the one that Goop is loving from JCrew looks almost identical to the Merona shirt but has the hefty price tag of $98.00. here is how they compare:

J. Crew
Price: $98.00 Sizing: Tailored fit. Material: Cotton. Sleeve Type: Long sleeves. Closure Style: Snap Closures Pocket Style: Chest pockets. Care and Cleaning: Machine wash. Import.

Target
Price: 19.99 Sizing: Women Sizing with a Classic Fit Weave Type: Denim Material: 58 % Cotton, 45 % Modal Sheerness: Opaque Neckline Style: Collared Neckline , Pointed Collar Sleeve Style: Long Sleeves , Snap Cuffs Closure Style: Snap Closures Pocket Style: Chest Pockets Care and Cleaning: Machine Wash Cold, Tumble Dry Low

I'll dream about one day owning a J.Crew top, but for now my Target brand will have to sufice! 

Valentino {in January}

I recently got sick and thus, had the opportunity to watch tons of Netflix on demand. Needless to say, I stirred in the direction of style and fashion documentaries. My favorite was Valentino: The Last Emperor! Let me reiterate what many have said: He is pure genius! Here is a quick clip of the awesomenes!

Boots {Amore}

I've fallen yet again for some super sassy boots! I love the toughness yet soft look of them. How I wish it was my birthday, or my - ahemm - 4 year annyversary! I am putting out my vibes in hopes that the law of attraction is in full swing! :)

Rachel {Zoe hooked}

I tend to not watch too much TV while Grey's Anatomy is off the air and to be honest, I really don't like reality shows. (Who the eff is Snooki?) I was home with a cold M0nday - Wednesday and since I had no energy to study or work, I vegetated in front of the tube. To my delight, I came accross Bravo and there was Rachel Zoe talking me into a trance. :) She is brilliant! I would give one of my kidneys if it meant I could have her job.

On another note... I gave into my addiction and bought something. (I needed my fix! DON'T JUDGE ME!) they were cheap and they look cute and they only cost me $1.17 (I had a gift Cetficate I needed to use).
with a cute dress and some jewel toned tights... Thanks Amazon!

something {blue}

I went to Westfield to pick something up for someone else but I got lost (again) in Forever 21 with a gift card and bought a nice blouse I can wear to the office and on the weekend! I love it when I find pieces that so versatile!

In other news, I have decided to try jewelry making. Looks like my search on eBay will include Swarovski crystals and pliers. i have many inspirations.

blog {blah, blah}

My blog needs a makeover, and a cool logo! i think it's time to ask the designer hubby for a "favor". For now.... Beautiful Dreamer!






And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. -Roald Dahl

L.A.M.B. {before bed}

I fell in love with these babies a few weeks back while obsessing and stalking The Glamourai and this morning they showed up at my doorstep! Thank you Glamourai and Gilt.com for making this like a treasure hunt! How can anyone deny this little lamb a home?
