You've Got Mail

I'm on my blackberry all the time--I heart my blackberry very much. I have a trade show tomorrow, so I kept getting e-mail after e-mail because I haven't received the items I needed to display yet for tomorrow, so I ended up taking a picture with my blackberry at work...Luckily the items arrived later that day, but I need to put in some late hours tonight to make sure I have everything that I need for the show.

I don't usually carry purses with me since I normally carry a laptop bag but I thought this purse would look great with this outfit so I took it out of its dust bag. Plus my hubby bought me some Nike+ Air running shoes since my other ones were falling apart, I hope I get better soon (still have a cough) because I want to really break them in.

Still a little sick

Thank you so much for the Get Well wishes, the truth is I'm still sick and have been living on Thermaflu for the past 3 days. You would never know it by the pictures but today is the first day I'm feeling much better.

I went to go see clients plus attend a business dinner last night, in which the topic was about the economy. They claim its been stable with a rise of 3% growth, not sure how much I believe that--especially when I have friends that can't find a job, but let's just hope.

Dress-Banana Republic
jacket--Calvin Klein (remix)
shoes--Ralph Lauren (remix)

I had to go into the Corporate office today, so I wanted to steal this look from the recent white house/black market catalog. Wish I had those shoes, but you work with what you got!

Cami--Banana Republic (remix)

I'm doing a giveaway Challange

Please see my previous post for my giveaway challange If I can't copy your look then I will give you a $10 gift card to any store of your choice.

This photo was taken at my parents house, because it was raining I thought this look was perfect because of the layers, I was so warm and I appreciated the inspiration from Fab Finds under $50

Shirt--Norma Kamali (remix)

The challenge--Giveaway

Next week is the wardrobe capsule challenge (I still need to send over my items) but after that I'm doing a giveaway challenge.

I want bloggers to send me pictures of outfits I can copy, if I can't do it or won't do it I'll be happy to give you a $10 gift card to pretty much any store (as long as the store has a location in So. California) I would probably want to create rules like:

1) I can only use items that are in my closet ***NO SHOPPING***
2) they literally have to look similar (see above picture)
3) it must be an outfit you have already or will blog (in other words you must have worn it all day or night)
4) you must be a follower
5) you must leave me a post to let me know your participating, so I may look out for your e-mail.

So...do you want to challenge me and get a chance to win a gift card? two entries max. I'll send you a confirmation that I got your e-mail, if you do not get a response from me right away, I'm probably traveling or I just plain didn't get it, but you will get a confirmation.

my e-mail address is reb562 at yahoo dot com

Pants--Calvin Klein (remix)
shirt--Isaac Mizrahi for Target
sweater--Merona (remix)
shoes--Apostrophe (remix)
Cami--Chadwicks (remix)

to much?

I think my version of this outfit looks very busy, to much going on, I think? thoughts? I needed an excuse to wear the skirt and shoes, and instead of the belt I wore a necklace. I guess simple is better? or maybe I should accept my choice and be confident about it!

suede skirt--Alani
shoes-- Steve Madden Luxe
blouse--Banana republic (remix)
sweater--Merona (remix)

I'm always intrigued that I have enough clothes in my closet that I can try to re-create someone's look...I'm want to keep going and see how far I can take this.

Happy Blogging.

Becky week

Keeping up with my inspiration week, this week we have Becky from Gilding the Frilly I love her killer shoes and even though I do own similar color heels, I felt this skirt was to short that I needed to convert to flats in order to not make the skirt any shorter.

My favorite part of this outfit is the color combo...turquoise, camel, yellow and purple...wow who would have thought--talk about a match made in heaven.

Shoes--Christian Siriano for payless (remix)
shirt--Merona
sweater--Merona (remix)
skirt--Banana Republic (remix)

check out Gilding the Frilly for her labels.

Jacket instead of Sweater

Sweaters and I really don't get along very well, I wish the sweaters draped on me as lovely as Fab Finds Under $50, but jackets are more my friends.

Tomorrow I have a wedding reception and my high school reunion, so there are a few outfits I have in mind. Hopefully the rain storm that the weather man is predicting isn't going to spoil my choices.

pants--Calvin Klein (remix)
Shoes--Calvin Klein (remix)
Shirt--Old Navy (remix)
vest--Jones New York
Velvet Jacket--Gap (remix)

The Chair

I wanted to show you the chair I had re-done for my husband for Valentine's Day. This was his great grandmother's chair and sadly it was broken and taking up space in the garage, now its in the living room matching the rest of my furniture :)

Another Kimberly inspired look....

jacket--Calvin Klein
shoes & Belt--Calvin Klein (remix)
shirt--Banana Republic (remix)
pants--Ann Taylor (remix)

Kimberly week

I decided that instead of getting my inspiration from magazines or TV, I'm going to get my inspiration or duplicate look from other bloggers. This week I am calling it Kimberly week from Fab Finds Under $50 we have similar items and thought it would be neat to be Kimberly for a week :)

Don't worry, If I follow your blog you might be next weeks blogger inspiration ;) just let me know if you do not want me to use your photos, and I'll be happy to ask some other blogger for inspirational help.

I also plan to participate in The small Fabric of my life wardrobe capsule during March 1st, if any of you have seen my closet ---> check the label 'closet' for a quick peak, you'll know this will probably be a tough challenge for me, but since it will all be work related, I might be able to pull it off. Let's just hope the weather doesn't change on me like it did today...from 65 degrees to a hot 85 today.

I traveled to Sacramento yesterday and arrived this morning, so I have posted two pictures. I did forget my stockings for the red dress and felt kind of 'neckid' but overall I didn't think I did to bad. More to come....

Monday:
Dress-Banana Republic (remix)
Vest--Utility (remix)
Shoes--BCBG paris
Scarf--Coach

Tuesday:
T-shirt--Mossimo
Jacket--Mossimo (remix)
Belt--Mossimo (remix)
pants--NY&Co (remix)
shoes--BCBG paris (remix)

Check out Fab Finds Under $50 for her labels...Thanks!
