Trending: "The Trench"

It's Fall and the perfect time of year to bring out the Trench. Cold weather here in Florida is very limited, so I take every opportunity to wear my coats. Last year I was able to find the cutest, cropped trench coat that I love from Coach, but I'm still on the hunt for a standard trench. Have any ideas? Please share them with me!

Work Staple: The Perfect Bag

For the past year  I've been lugging around my LV Neverfull MM to the office and working events. While I can't even begin to express in words how much I LOVE this bag, it's definitely time to give it a rest. Poor thing! I'm ready to invest in another HUGE, leather tote that is large enough to hold all the crazy things my unpredictable marketing gig requires me to drag around each and every day. Call me Mary Poppins! :-) Here are a few bags I LOVE:

Cole Haan

Brooke E/W Flap Tote

Michael Kors

Hamilton Large Tote, Claret

Marc Jacobs

Classic Q Francesca

Mulberry

Heritage Bayswater Satchel

Coach

Madison Quilted Chevron Large Lindsey

Ralph Lauren

Large Leather RL Tote

Michael Kors

Skorpios Shoulder Tote

Do you have a "go-to" work bag? Please share recommendations below the bump!!

A Fairytale Wedding?

I've been on a wedding kick lately! I was never one of those girls who "dreamed" about her fairytale wedding! I always said I'd probably just get hitched at the courthouse. I'll have to retract those high school statements. Now that I'm older, I definitely want to have a wedding...where? I haven't figured that out... I have a lot of time to think about it. [I can almost hear the BF's huge sigh of relief...lol]

I'm sure by now everyone has heard about the Kim Kardashian wedding. While I'm not quite sure how I feel about her over-exposed life, I must say I fell in love with many of the details I saw in her two-part Wedding series that aired last week on E! From the monogram logo to the reception center pieces to that enormous multi-layer wedding cake, Kim's wedding planner [Sharon Sacks] deserves major props:

What did you think about Mrs. Humphries wedding day?

H&M: Leopard, Teal and a Little Bling!

Hello ladies! This will be a quick post. I have been following a workout schedule with one of my very close friends to tone up. We run a mile every other day after work and attend Zumba Fitness classes Wednesday and Friday nights! Does anyone else love Zumba as much as I do? I love the fact that you don't realize how many calories you're burning until the class is over!

I wanted to share my recent purchases with you. If you follow me on Twitter you know that last week H&M distributed a 25% OFF coupon to use during the weekend, as part of their Columbus Day celebration! I really wanted to get my hands on the teal blazer Jean tweeted about on Friday. I was thrilled when I saw that my store carried it in both black and teal. I also picked up a couple of additional items:

H&M Shrunken Woven Blazer $35

H&M Leopard Scarf $15

H&M Beige and Glitter Turtleneck $13

Did you take advantage of the Columbus Day sales this weekend?
