Madewell code: TREAT

It's not the biggest discount, but 25% is worth it for special/investment pieces like boots.  I've got a pair of riding boots I bought at Madewell 5 years ago, and they're still going strong.  I think these little booties might also need to make it into my closet.

How to Wear: Green Pants

Bright denim is everywhere, but a lot of people struggle with what to pair with statement pants.   I recently picked up a pair of green corduroy, so I figured I'd share some ideas.

Look #1: A day of shopping

A white blouse is a no-brainer pairing with bright colored pants.  Kelly green looks great with brown tones and I think leopard is a fun twist.   Pull it in with a scarf or pair of shoes like the look above.   Throw on a worn in leather jacket, and you're ready for a Saturday of shopping with some friends.

Look #1 Pieces:

Blouse: Equipment white silk sleeveless blouse ($188, Shopbop)

Necklace: Belle Noel side wishbone gold necklace ( $45, Shopbop)

Shoes: Leopard sidewalk skimmer flats ($135, Madewell)

Pants: J BRAND green corduroy skinny jeans ($78, The Outnet)

Jacket: Brown leather double breasted bomber ($495, Madewell)

Look #2: Comfy brunch

Second to a white blouse, I think chambray is the easiest top to wear with bright jeans (or in this case cords).  Paired with some low-heeled boots and a fun nautical scarf that almost matches, you're good to go.

Look #2 Pieces:

Pants: MEK Emerald Denim 5-Pocket ($89, Last Call)

Shirt: Light washed two pocket denim shirt ($60, Madewell)

Shoes: DV by Dolce Vita brown leather boots  ($129, Shoes.com)

Bag: Clare Vivier navy blue leather cross body satchel ($210, Bodie on Fou)

Scarf: Navy and green nautical sailboat scarf ($10, ModCloth)

Look #3: A night out

Don't think that you can't wear green pants for a night out?  You can!  This coated pair works great with a sleek black tuxedo blazer and whimsical blouse.  By letting the jeans be the only color in your outfit, the look becomes more evening appropriate.  The casual striped clutch keeps it from being too serious.

Look #3 Pieces:

Blazer: AllSaints black tuxedo blazer ($295, AllSaints)

Earrings: Gorjana rose gold hoop earrings ($64, Zappos)

Clutch: Clare Vivier black and white striped leather clutch ($173, Shopbop)

Pants: Current/Elliott Coated low-rise stretch-denim skinny jeans ($80, The Outnet)

Blouse: Moschino polka-dot silk-crepe tie neck blouse ($795, Net-a-Porter)

Shoes: Sam Edelman black suede pointed pump ($100, Cusp)

Style Inspiration from Mandy Moore?

It may be that I have never gotten over the arm bands and midriffs in Candy, but I have have been inspired by Mandy Moore's recent fashion sense.  She seems to have gone from a generic Hollywood star to a fashion week A-lister overnight. 

Mandy has especially been a hit in Lela Rose.  Check out this black and yellow look from Lela Rose's Spring 13 show accessorized with the perfectly worn in  leather jacket.

 I also loved this vanilla Lela Rose dress that Mandy wore to the CFDA awards.  Perfectly accessorized with bright pink lips and a simple ponytail.

And finally, this poppy-red Lela Rose dress that Mandy wore to her Spring 2012 show looks like it's a dress that would work in any woman's closet for work, drinks and beyond.

Back to Spring 13 fashion week, you know how I feel about suits and I think this khaki look + pink pumps was a perfectly modern interpretation.

And,  here Mandy is  in blue and black with another killer leather jacket.

What do you think? Enough evidence to forget about "Candy"?

Oxblood - The Color of the Season?

When the end of September rolls around, I find myself drawn towards saturated fall hues like maroon, mustard and deep greens. This reddish brown color is nothing new, but it definitely seems to be the color of the season. 

1 - Open knit oxblood sweater – an easy way to wear the color of the season, this cozy sweater works great with jeans and a pair of classic riding boots. ($76, TopShop)

2 - Lauren Ralph Lauren cross-body leather bag – I love this super classic equestrian vibe of this bag.  ($228, Zappos)

3 - Snakeskin round toe pumps with gold details – perfect fall office shoes that won’t go out of style ($128, Banana Republic)

4 - Oxblood asymmetrical chiffon skirt  - Brings a bit of the summer’s flowy skirts into fall.  Perfect with a pair of booties ($76, TopShop)

5 - Oxblood Ribbed Pleated Skirt  - A bit of a ‘back to school vibe’ with the pleats, I think the oxblood and some simple ($68, TopShop)

6- Pour la Victoire oxblood leather envelope clutch – works for an iPad, or just as a super sleek evening clutch ($124, eBags)

Look for Less: Ankle Strap Black Pumps

This fall pointed pumps are back in a big way.   I adore this silhouette from Alexander Wang, but I'm considering this $49 pair from Zara instead.    

Splurge:  Alexander Wang Black ankle strap pumps - $485

Deal: Zara black suede ankle strap pumps - $49.90
