I am the typo queen

Posted on February 22, 2011 by allyson

I have a problem with typos. I LIKE to think it's because my brain is soooo fast my words/hands don't have time to catch up. (Please just go with this theory.)

Oooh, and speaking of Theory, guess who got an INSANE deal on a Theory leather jacket yesterday?

ME!

Guess who can get the same deal?

YOU!

It seems that someone working at NeimanMarcus.com is having the same typo problem that I have. Only this problem is going to cost them $485.

Neimans accidentally marked this jacket as $260 when it should be $745.

So, if you like this Theory "lanai" jacket…

(retails for $745 at websites Netaporter.com, Bergdorfs.com and Theory.com)

It's like Christmas all over again, Dolls!

heavy cargo

Posted on October 19, 2010 by allyson

Cargo pants were all over the runways of the Fall 2010 shows.

Moschino Cheap and Chic, Banana Republic, William Rast

Here are a few of my favorites…

Clockwise from top left:

Topshop utility pant $80, Rich and Skinny "make peace" cargo $185, AE Cargo Jegging $39.90 (down from $59.50), Free People "Benjis" cargo pant $98, J Brand "Houlihan" twill cargo $231, Bland Denim cargo skinny pant $78, Forever 21 Pull-On Ruched Utility Pants $22.80, Nanette Lepore "Piazza" pants $298

In the center:

J. Crew Cropped ripstop cargo pant $69.50

How to wear this season's cargo pant.

1) I would stick with olive or any other dark color. Lighter colors will make your legs look thicker than they are especially with the pockets.

2) Experiment with textures to dress up these pants. A silk blouse or a leather jacket will give them an uptown look.

3) Pair these pants with heels. Otherwise they can come off as too masculinee.

I bought the Forever 21 pants. This was my first purchase from this store and I was pleasantly surprised! Great quality, and it laundered well. Looks like I may have a new go-to for trendy inexpensive pieces.
