Keeping up with fashion

The best time to shop for a new coat, in my opinion, is either on Black Friday or after Christmas. I recently went to Old Navy and saw several coats that I adore. Old Navy, The Gap, and the Banana Republic which are all owned by the same company have beautiful styles of coats. I managed to purchase two new coats from Old Navy. Most of the time after Christmas sales from 40% to 75% take place.

I really love my purse from Modcloth which is called "Scrapbook Ending".  I love the unique design being shaped like a nice artistic box. This is a nice purse to take when having a cafe date or a visit to the library for me. I also love to carry this purse when I go to small special occasions such as small concerts, shopping trips etc.

I love my green purse from Aldo which I purchased earlier this summer. I created my own fashion statement when I walk around taking Polaroid pictures. I love taking pictures and many things, maybe I should become a photographer, not sure. Also when I go out I make sure that I have something to read just in case I take a break from what I'm doing.

I love my Kanken Fjallraven backpack that I can carry my laptop and other things in when I travel. I've been wanting one if these for sometime and I finally bought one over the summer.

I love my new shoes from Calvin Klein & Michael Kors. After getting rid of old shoes, it's time to do some major shoe replacing especially for the fall and winter.

I saw this bag in Macy's and had to buy it. I've always loved Betsey Johnson's products. This phone bag is one of the best things I have seen in a while. I can connect this bag to my cellphone and make calls. You can't beat the price at $98.

My end of 2015 treat from Saks 5th Ave. I've been wanting this bag since early last year and finally saved up enough money to purchase it in cash. I am a big fan of the Chloe collections in bags and perfumes. 

 I've always been a fan of the Bulgari perfumes because of the mellow smells especially this one pictured.

I've became very fascinated with Boden British style clothing within the past year. I really love their clothing designs which reminds me somewhat of the sixties. My favorite skirt shown above has a plaid design which has become my favorite style especially for the winter. Thus far this is my favorite outfit. Also shown is my favorite Dooney & Burke bar and navy blue sling back open toe shoes from Nine West. When I wear this outfit it makes me feel very stylish and fashionable. For more info Boden please visit their website www.boden.com

I really love New York & Company's spring clothing line. I manage to purchase this blouse and skirt which made a perfect combination along with the Juicy Couture bag I purchased from Kohls. For me perfect coordination is the key for wearing the perfect outfit. I get lots of my ideas from reading some of the fashion magazines and watching fashions shows.

I really love this unique necklace design from Anthropologie. I really love there products. It does remind me of Pier One Imports. Their interesting catalog

I love this new scarf that I purchased from banana republic because of the dark and light color strips which can go with many of my outfits. I've always loved shopping in Banana Republic for they're accessories like scales, jewelry, shoes and handbags. I haven't shopped for clothing there since the late 90's when I was smaller but since I've lost 60 lbs and exercise just about everyday. I'm headed towards buying apparel there again.

Personally I love wearing jewelry that goes with any outfit I wear. When I wear a turtle neck I usually wear a long necklace and when I wear a V-neck top I wear a short necklace of a choker.     When I shop for jewelry I usually look for jewelry that goes with anything like a simple silver or gold time colors. If gemstones are included them I usually wear an outfit to match.  Banana Republic jewelry section My Banana Republic necklace

I never been much of a sunglasses type of person but when I drive to work in the morning lots of times, I do experience glares. The best sunglasses I've had was from Raybans and fossil. I tried the Louis Vuitton but really don't feel like paying $800 for a pair. I love my Raybans that I paid $150 (on sale) for and my Fossil which I paid $49 for. I do have a pair of Michael Kors sunglasses but they don't really protect my eyes from the sunlight (they were a gift). Please see below. Louis Vuitton RayBans

I really liked Alexa Chungs interview in Nylon magazine for October. I think that she's very artistic and glamorous for such a young age. Check it out!

I love my new coach bag! I just love all of the varieties of styles that coach offers. I had to buy this blue/navy color which is a great color for the fall. It's a nice size for what I need I put inside.

Lunch and break times can be fun when bring music and fashion magazine with you. I always bring at least two fashion magazine with me to work in order to see what I can buy next or just get some ideas for the future.

My favorite so far is the Essie nail polish. I usually paint my toe nails and use colors that match what I wear.  Not much into painting my finger nails but to me I make sure that my feet are well pedicured and that my nails are painted very well. www.essie.com Good colors to match what you're wearing.

It's always great to top off an outfit with some nice jewelry. Always wear jewelry simple instead of being over powering. The best part is to match jewelry colors with the clothing you're wearing. You can try jewelmint.com   Michael Kors (above)

I usually don't buy Eau de Toilette but this particular one has listed on my body for more than a day. But I would recommend to get a free sample of some Eau de Toilette perfumes before purchasing because it's no use of buying fragrances that don't last especially when you pay a small fortune for them.
