Spring: Get at Me

It is time to pull out those white jeans friends...and not just any white jeans.  Thanks to my BFF Stephanie I have a NEW favorite kind of jeans- I know I might be a little behind- but the J Brand Love Story jeans are seriously perfection.  They make your butt look cute, they elongate your legs and make you look like a super model.  It's also ah-mazing how your stomach instantly becomes toned once you put them on (see pic below)! 

Today, I am pairing them with my new Vince Knit V-neck linen sweater which is like the most comfortable sweater ever and will be the perfect winter --> spring transition piece.

Vince Knit V-Neck Linen Sweater-$225

J Brand 722 Love Story- $194

Valentino Jute-Trim Rockstud Wedge Sandal- $795

Kenneth Jay Lane Necklace- $72

Now, this is something we need to talk about.  These Valentino Rockstud wedges WILL be making an entrance into my closet sooner rather than later- why you ask? WHAT COULD YOU NOT WEAR WITH THESE?!? They are so new looking and I love the rocker vibe they give off- but still a little girly with the wedge.

Also- if you don't own a great gold statement necklace- it is time to invest.  This golden flat disc necklace by Kenneth Jay Lane is on sale and would be a great necklace to throw on with anything from a t shirt to a cocktail dress to instantly spruce up an outfit! 

Cheers to another workin' week. Gotta pay off those shopping bills somehow...

Look of the Week: PRABAL GURUNG FOR TARGET!

The most anticipated designer collaboration since Missoni for Target, Prabal Gurung's Collection for Target, hit the stores yesterday at 8 AM. Although I was dealing with some apartment fire siren drama at that god forsaken hour, I managed to hit up my local Target during the afternoon.  

Prabal Gurung is known for his vibrant prints and this collection is no different.  It's going to be a very bright spring! 

Some of my fav things from his 80+ piece collection...

I was lucky enough to snag the fab white/black dress and the ah-mazing colorful blazer.  I am still searching Target's in the middle of nowhere for the shirt dress and for the fab yellow/multi color heels. Everything is sold out on the web but scour your local store to maybe scoop up some goodies!

Good luck on your search!

Look and Cocktail of the Week: Post-College

This weeks' Look and Cocktail of the week has a little post-college theme because that's just about where I am in life- and am learning about this whole new B word- budget.  

Look of the Week:
Today's outfit will only cost you a little over $100- brought to you by Forever 21! It would be perfect for Christmas Eve or any Holiday party you still need an outfit for!!!

Leopard Faux Fur Jacket (an even cheaper version than the Zara one I posted here)- $44

Ponte Knit A-line Dress- $30

Faux Leather Stitched Booties- $40

Cocktail of the Week:

"The Post College Morgan Wade"

image via google

It's a vodka soda with a lot (I mean a lot) of lemons.  I had to ditch the tonic and cranberry because of the calorie count and the fact that I am trying to loose the college lbs.  

When I go into a bar and order this drink- I don't order one lemon, or two, or three. Frankly, I need the whole lemon tree.  
(Does this defeat the point?)

Happy Shopping and Drinking!

XOXO

New Monday Special: Look and Cocktail of the Week

Good Monday Morning to Everyone!

Today marks a special new series I will be doing every Monday: Look and Cocktail of the Week! I got the idea from my BFF Lauren when I was asking her fashionista advice on what to blog about next.  Why not combine my two favorite things in the world: fashion and cocktails?!?

Look of the Week:

What to Wear: Robert Rodriguez Beaded V Neck Tank, See by Chloe Cotton-Twill Wrap-Effect Mini Skirt (on sale!), Zara High Heel Ankle Boot with Cap Toe, Oscar de la Renta Short Chain Tassel Earrings

"The Morgan Wade"

If you went to Georgia, you heard me order this drink a million times.  A vodka tonic with a splash of cranberry and a lime.  It's simple. It's easy.  It's the best thing you've ever tasted.

(substitute soda for tonic for you health freaks)

Happy Shopping and Drinking!!!

XOXO

Little Miss Wade

By the way, because of last week's series, I wasn't able to give the usual RHOBH recap, and I heard a lot of complaints.  I won't let it happen again, friends.  I am glad it is so popular! I will be back tomorrow with the recap from last week and tonight's episode!
