 I've yet to find another artist that speaks to me like  Inslee . I've been obsessed with her since last spring - when I almost (totally regretting) purchased a sketch from her to act as the logo for a project I was working on. I saw myself in a logo - past.present.future. self. It was me and it was so weird how I immediately was drawn to 'her' and Inslee was so sweet!  This isn't the first time you've heard me rave about this one of a kind artist and it won't be the last. I'm totally taking the plunge this year and ordering her holiday cards and a beautiful calendar. Also....I'm really hoping to have her make me some personalized stationary! How amazing....!? Enjoy!

sweet celine.

Parker Dress Parker dresses are one of my favorites. I know I've blogged these beauties before, but I keep coming back to this olive color. I have the dress in white and due to rather unfortunate events - it now wears as a shirt. At $220 it's a bit of a big purchase for an everyday item of clothing, but it's so versatile. Over leggings, belted with jeans, tights, knee high boots and a faux fur vest. I think it's the perfect silhouette for strumming up something stunning.  How would you wear it? My way: Throw on my  over-the-knee boots ,  black tights ,   large link necklace . 

Ballet Baby!

Kelly Killoren Bensimon is my favorite RHONY and maybe ever. I was so excited to learn this Spring she will be launching a line of ballet flats. Here is the story from  InStyle. The Real Housewives of New York  star  Kelly Killoren Bensimon  is launching a line of ballet flats!   “After being on Housewives, everyone was commenting on my flats, and I realized that there was a void in the market,” she tells InStyle.com. “ I wanted to create something that I love and that people are interested in .” So, she teamed up with footwear company BBC International to create  Kelly by Kelly Killoren  Bensimon , an assortment of ballerinas  in bright hues and animal patterns for $50 a pair.  The colorful collection is also for a cause— for every pair sold, she will donate $3 to the  Breast Cancer Research Foundation . “I am grateful to have the opportunity to channel my two passions: philanthropy and style,” she says.  The collection hits stores this spring.

TaupeOut.

Tan Boot I love: tan, taupe, nude, light brown, cognac, leopard. These are the current products I'm lusting over. A perfect pair of skintight jeans, with a color that is perfectly on trend this season. A bag that is versatile enough for year round use! This color of jean and leather looks great with any other color combo (strips anyone?)!! Foley + Corinna DL1961 Jeans Leopard Bracelet

Rory Beca Tibi I was a bit heartbroken yesterday upon hearing the news of Steve Jobs passing. He was a visionary and ideal artistic talent that encompasses everything my generation stands for. I've grown up with him. I remember begging my dad for my first Mac my senior year of high school, spending $400 on my first iPhone and then being devastated when it was stolen from my Longchamp as a bar in Milwaukee. The iPad and how enthralled and obsessed I became.  Even more desolate, the day of his passing came just after the release of the iPhone 4S (he was was watching over his Apple fantatics). Put on your black turtleneck, bow your head, and give thanks for a man that gave us many a product to write home about. Above are some iPhone cases to help you celebrate being one of "them". Or...if you want to be like me, head over to  dani notes. prep perfect.  I love this color combo! Mine is navy blue chevron with a yellow circle!

pretty on the inside.

it's the meeping weekend.

My new job allows me to wear jeans to work (nearly everyday). A major plus. I love being able to pull together chic and approachable looks that are simple and still professional enough for the office. My daily regime has included beachy curls, ballet flats, skinny jeans, a simple sweater or flow shirt, statement necklace and my trusty Tory Burch bag. For chilly days I thought on my army green coat and call it a morning. It's lovely not being limited to black pants and pencil skirts. How do you update your work wear? My current go to: inexpensive statement necklaces. I popped into Charlotte Russe and grabbed three stunning pieces for $25. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Adam and I celebrated our Anniversary and had a very collegiate weekend by going to visit my youngest sister at the University of Minnesota (too.much.beer.). Next weekend we're off to Milwaukee (I think!) and then I'm going on a major saving spree to make tripts to Arizona (Cori/Linds), New
