In Love With a Boy

I'm super excited to "model" my new BCBG blazer for you guys.  I picked this baby up at their factory outlet during back-to-school sales.  This piece is currently one of my favorites.  The print's bold and fabulous, and I'm loving all the different blues.  As I'm sure you all know, I'm a huge fan of their line.  Their craftsmanship and designs are hard to top!  Here's my current lust-list (mostly outerwear because it's Fall):

Anyways, I wanted to style a casual look for you all today so I paired my new jacket with a simple button-front and jeans.  For those of you wondering, I got my top from Talbots a while back - it was on sale for $25.  I actually buy a lot of my clothing from there.  They carry really cute skirts and blouses!  Most of the time, their stuff's pretty expensive, but if you wait for big sales, you can score some great deals.

I can't wait to re-mix this jacket for you guys!  I'm thinking white skinnies, a black top, and fabulous jewelry!  How would you guys style this?

Find of the Day: The Strappy Crochet Tank ($12)

I'm very excited to tell you guys about today's find!  I recently bought this tank from Aeropostale, and I'm completely obsessed.  The deep neckline is just the right amount of risque - it's sexy yet tasteful.  If you're a fan of Francesca's or Free People, I guarantee you'll love this tank.  I have it in navy, but unfortunately, that color's sold out.  They still carry it in cream though!  I've been into looser silhouettes as of late so I ordered a size small.  It was a good call because I like the way it hangs but an XS would've still worked. As a plus, the straps are adjustable - I personally prefer shorter ones.  To sweeten the pot further, this tank's currently on sale HERE for $12!  

I'm beyond impressed with Aeropostale.  They've really stepped up their game.  I know I've said this many times already, but they deserve serious props.  I absolutely love their Toyko Darling & Bethany Mota designs!  Have any of you guys shopped there recently? If so, what do y'all think of their new lines?

Around the World

I may or may not be obsessed with faux leather - not the shotty kind that looks like plastic, the good kind that passes for the real deal.  I picked this pleather skirt up at Banana Republic's Factory Outlet a few months ago.  It was a total bargain, and I lucked out because I stumbled upon it by chance.  I was looking for a new one because my BCBG version died.  I wore it so much that it ripped in several places.  It got a lot of wear though, and it was like, 8 years old so I'm over it, ha.

For today's outfit of the day, I paired my new skirt with a simple, white top for a crisp, clean look.  I threw on another Banana Republic find to top off the ensemble.  I purchased this (also at the outlet mall) for $40.  Its retail price was well over $150 - sorry, I forget the exact price because I tore off the tag - so it was a practical purchase.  You guys know how much I adore blazers.  They add polish and sophistication to any and every ensemble.
