1. ZARA - Quilted Crossover Jacket - $99.90

This jacket is not my typical style but when I saw it intrigued me and when I tried it on I started to fall in love with it. Now I cant stop thinking about it.

Its a wonderful way to incorporate the fall trends of army green and leather

2. Aritzia - Babaton Beekman Sweater - $145.00

Incredibly comfy and the definition of fall to me ! 

3. JCREW - Pixie pant in leather tuxedo stripe - $168.00

I have the regular Pixie pants and they are amazing (these are currently on sale on JCREW factory for $46.00) !  I love this trend since last year and past on a great pair from Forever 21.

4. Tobi - Ever So Scalloply Dress - $65.00

This dress permanently sits in my shopping cart. I love it but cant bring myself to order it (shift dress don't always fit well on me). The scallops give the dress such a delicate touch. I love it.

5. EXPRESS - Chiffon Lined Tulip Back Sweater $49.90
I just love the back of this top !

       

  

#wishlistwednesday

I am an avid list maker and a frequent window shopper so I love this tag when I first saw it on Krista's Blog: Southern Shopaholic

So here is currently on my wish list:

1.  A Large Red 'Le Pliage' Longchamp Tote.

I currently own the a beige on and absolutely adore it for both work and school but due the lightness in colour it gets dirty quite easily :(. I love red as a pop of colour and really want to add this one to my wardrobe.

2. Rayban Aviator Sunnies

I know summer is ending but it doesn't stop me from wanting these any less. However unlike the other items on my list where I can justify purchasing these I think will permanently live on the wishlist. Why? because I have sat on, wrecked or lost all my sunglasses to date.

3. IPAD mini 

Apple gets me every time, when this first came out I thought it was absolutely ridiculous like the regular IPAD was cool enough and I thought the mini was just an overkill. Until I saw my friend use it for all her class and thought it was genius. She only had to carry a light tote to each class, where I carried my heavy backpack or a huge tote cause I need to carry my laptop on me a all times. Needless to say I will most likely be purchasing one once the IPAD 2 comes (rumour has it in October).

4. JCREW Factory Crystal Pendant Necklace
I was on a hunt for the Lattice Necklace Dupe last year. This year JCREW have duped themselves and I am in serious lust.

5. OASAP Collarless Asymmetric Tweed Coat

This was love at sight.

My Favorite Work Pants

The majority of my summer I have spent working and although my office is business causal, people here tend to dress how they like, we have agents that wear swim shorts and t-shirts to people in full on suits.

Before this summer I only worked one 'business' day a week (I worked the weekend too but it was unwritten rule that weekends were wear whatever you want to the office day, pjs included !) but because I was in the office more and I had a more 'important' position I wanted needed to vamp up my wardrobe. I want to fall somewhere between swim shorts and suit (leaning more towards suits). It was then that I was introduced to Minnie.

I first met Minnie last summer down in Portland, Oregon at a JCREW Factory outlet. I originally found out about her through the wonderful world of YouTube (I'm addicted to haul videos) and was thrilled when she was at the outlet for an extra 30% off. So how could I say no?

Next thing you know, I now own 4 pairs (3 Minnie's, 1 dupe). What I love the most about these pants are you really don't have to break the bank for them. I have gotten all of mine on sale ranging from $10 dollars to $55)

They feel like leggings, the crop hits you perfectly (sometimes you need to adjust it), they look professional, and most importantly don't break the bank.

Here are my tips to scoring your own Minnie's

1. JCREW factory  the Minnie Pant

why I love it:

-They are an exact dupe for JCREW Minnie pant 

-The factory store consistently has 40-50 percent off sales

-The factory store sells them in wearable, staple colours.

(I've got my navy ones for $55 and my black ones for $45) 

2. JCREW sale

Why I love it:

-You can find fun colours

-If you wait till there super sales (extra 40%) you can find some for super cheap, were talking $17 cheap.

(I got my royal blue ones for $17)

3. Dupe it.

After my life altering discovery of these wonderful pants I start seeing them everywhere at every price point and in tons of different colours.

My own dupe is from Old Navy and they are called "The Diva Skinny-Ankle Pants."I have these in a dark grey and paid $10)

I've gotten my sister a dupe pair at Banana Republic and they are called "Sloan fit slim ankle pant." I paid $45 for hers.

And finally I was lusting over a couple pairs (mint and red) on Aritzia site when they were on sale but regrettably decided against them. They are called the "Elliot Pant" 

All the store i've mention have wonderful sales and you can often find them for more 50% off !

& that ends my tribute to my favorite work pants.
