The Black Choker

I'm lusting over this Tous necklace...

Undoubtedly the heart pendant is gorgeous, however I think I'm actually most drawn to the black suede cord. It reminds me of the black velvet/ribbon choker trend that was most recently popular in the early 90s. I was only a kid back then so I didn't wear the trend, but I do remember admiring it on the stylish older girls. I definitely dont mind this look coming back again, especially since there's great inexpensive diy potential. I mean, look how sexy Daniella Bianchi looked in just a black velvet choker (no pendant necessary!)...

Love the Look: White Coat + Mauve Handbag

I love white coats in general, but I particularly love how this one is styled in the photograph below. This woman is looking ultra chic with a mauve colored handbag, a lovely pair of heels, and fresh flowers in hand.

I'd love to find that exact coat (loove the cut!) and handbag, however the print on the image is so tiny I can barely read it, not to mention it was featured in Greek Vogue which means even if I found out where the pieces are from, I'd probably have to empty out my entire savings to be able to add them to my wardrobe :-/

Luckily, there are a few equally stylish alternatives for getting the look:

Comfy Moccassins for Fall

On my wish list right now are these cute moccasins from Old Navy- perfect for fall and winter. I tried them on yesterday and they were so comfy! I just can't decide what color I want...the practical dark brown or black that won't show dirt as quickly...the versatile tan/grey...or the fun deep pink... hmmm...what do you think?
