Ugg or Ugh?

Marc by Marc Jacobs

Sorry sorry for the absence of posts lately! This Marc by Marc Jacobs (Babylon sweater, $298) has been sitting my queue of things to post for a few weeks now. And what happened between the time I put it in my queue and the time I post it today? Well of course Rachel Zoe blogged the exact same sweater. So now we can lust over it together but never be able to find it, thanks to our dear friend RZ. Sigh.

Celebrity Style - Anne Hathaway

While I do think this girl is painfully ugly, I do admire her sense of style. Airport style pictured below - flawless. What struck me the most was her hair color. I'd love to have my colorist do the same color on me.
Movie premiere style. This dress is fantastic, albeit a dowdy, matronly length. The fabric is incredible!

Shopping Bag - A J. Crew Spree

Dear J. Crew,

I need a coupon code - STAT. Throw me a bone here, I'm just trying to spend a few hundred ...

French Connection on ideeli.com

My closet is filled with plenty of things that I bought because they were a good deal and not because I truly loved them or because they fit me impeccably well. That said, I am trying to (on a go-forward basis) make a conscious effort to only buy things I truly love.

And here is one love. A French Connection sweater I have lusted after many a-time on ideeli.com. It appeared again on last night's sale and will hopefully be arriving soon!

BCBG Max Azria

Dear Max Azria,

Please stop tempting me.

Fondly,

Mrs. K

OK I know it's teeny tiny but I couldnt' find a larger image. Check out the dress on the far right. It is stunning in this picture! A nice cherry red (not a hint of orange), with buttons down the front and a substantial cuff on the sleeve. So elegant!

Similar to the red dress pictured above but definitely different. Doesn't it remind you of something Kate Middleton would rock? LOVE! (BCBGMaxAzria from Saks.com)
This cardigan I'm actually not 100% sure is from BCBGMaxAzria. I can tell you this much - I found it at Bloomingdales.com and I L-O-V-E it.

This too. This one I know for sure is BCBG though. It has a black sash to tie it closed. The kind of thing I could probably live in.

Anniversary

July 25 marked two (!) years of wedded bliss. I took the day off to spend at home with my darling hub since I'd been in California the week prior. I was so surprised that Mr. K got me a fancy white Toy Watch complete with some crystal bling as an anniversary gift! The perfect accessory for rounding out those last few remaining weeks of summer.
