Made in America

My new style-q is all about plain v-necks and pencil jeans. While I love my J.Crew and everything they create, I'm all over American Apparel and their sheer jersey v-necks. Now while they swing $22 a piece, there is savings to be had if they are ordered in packs. For $51, one can buy a 3-pack of colorful v-necks and spice up a classic jeans/t-shirt attire with a cute scarf and some Trove Tkees in the summer or some army boots and a cute cargo jacket for fall.

Fall into Wedges

The new it bootie is the lace-up suede wedge and I for one have already signed up for a pair of Michael Kors' "Channing" style. There is also the "Liana" style from Coach which sets you back $278, a little less than Kors' $295. If those are a little out of your price range, check Piperlime.com where you can find similar styles by Steve Madden ($130) and Kelsey Dagger ($120) for cheaper prices. Get ready for the cool down!

Keepall My Travel Goods

While I am still daydreaming of foreign lands an eighteen-hour flight away, I am also vacillating between my new travel bag du jour. While I was all about my Coach duffel with pretty mini-C's (and still am), I am also on a Louis V overdose--the French malletier's marvelous monogram has again caught my attention and I am all over a Keepall 45 with the strap to boot. But, as I have established many times before, I have a taste for champagne, but a budget for beer. That is why I am all over finding a pre-loved version with a vintage feel for half the price at my favorite haunts including Malleries. If you've got an eye and can spot a fake, eBay posts bags for even bigger savings.
