Would You Wear This?

Usually I really love stripes. But Tyra's love for this pattern is a bit overwhelming. All I have to say is Ty-Ty, why why?!!??!??! I think my biggest issue with this outfit is the sleeves. Oh those sleeves! If you take the big sleeves away this dress would actually be very flattering on her (and very 1950's inspired).


What do you think of this dress on her? Would you wear it???

Looks For Less

Lookin' Fab

This is exactly why I love fall weather. There is nothing like layering on jackets and scarves. I saw this picture of Rachel Bilson looking casual yet totally chic, and got really excited about the upcoming 60-something degree weather this coming weekend. Lately I have been looking forward to autumn just a tad too much...and it can't get here quick enough in my opinion! Anyone agree???

My Style

One big change that I have had to adjust to here in Pennsylvania is the temperature fluctuation. Every morning when I wake up it is in the 40s or 50s (this morning it was 46 degrees!) and then by the late afternoon it reaches the upper 70s/low 80s. Kinda crazy! In NYC the weather did not fluctuate so dramatically. So I'm having to learn how to dress appropriately for the weather. One word- LAYERING!


dress- Forever 21
jacket- H&M
tights- We Love Colors
shoes- Kimchi Blue from Urban Outfitters
bangles- they were my mom's from when she was a teenager


***I have been dying to break out some tights lately. Today I finally did just that!!!

It's A Fashion Party!


Since I moved I have been getting a local fashion party together so I can try to meet some local readers and fashionistas. I'm really excited to be working on a fashion party with Juli from Bella Jules. Her boutique is adorable and I really hope that if you are in the area that you stop on by and say hello!  :-)

Look of the Day

*Great Deal*

One of my favorite places to look for a terrific deal has to be the sale racks at Anthropologie. Check out this amazing pair of Level 99 Rinse Slim Bootcut Jeans on sale now for only $49.95 (originally priced at $98). Select sizes remain...so hurry before your size is sold out!

My Style

Today I'm playing it very casual...jeans and a tunic. I threw on a crocheted cardigan since it was very cool out this morning. I'm really ready for it to be fall already. This in between weather is driving me crazy. Too hot for half of my wardrobe, yet too cool for the other half. ARGH!!!

jeans- Old Navy
tunic- Sparkle from Urban Outfitters
cardigan- Lucky Brand
shoes- Charlotte Ronson


Oh yeah, I don't think I showed you guys the AMAZING Charlotte Ronson platfom sandals I recently got via Gilt (for free!!!). I'm so in love with them. They make me insanely tall.  :-)


p.s. I really need to paint my toe nails. ewwwww!

Spring 2011--- Christian Siriano

During Fashion Week there is one designer that never lets me down---Christian Siriano. Lots of white, animal print, and ruffles upon ruffles. Christian is always taking things to the next level. All I have to say is well done Christian. Well done.

Here are some of m favorite looks from the show---

Vote For Style

Long gowns in white tones are definitely being seen all over the red carpet lately. No matter what your style is, this is most certainly a trend that looks amazing on anyone and everyone!

Eva Mendes wears this Zac Posen gown. It's fun and flirty...and has a very subtle print to it.

Michelle Williams is all about retro style. Here she is wearing a Jason Wu creation.

Gemma Arterton keeps things very simple in this Gucci gown. Sometimes there is nothing better than a very simple gown.





Which style do you love most?

Spring 2011--- Lela Rose

I love Lela Rose! You may remember last season I was lucky enough to attend her show in the tents. For her Spring 2011 collection she really focused on bright pops of color and short dresses. I just adore these designs! These are a few of my favorite---

Spring 2011--- Max Azria

Neutral, feminine, simple, and flowing describe Max Azria's Spring 2011 collection. To me the majority of the pieces look like something that a Greek goddess (and myself) would wear. I'm not even a huge fan of pants but I really love his pants looks here. So pretty, so chic!

Here are a few of my favorite looks straight from the runway---

Reader Discount @ Plueys

I absolutely HATE the rain. However, the one thing I know will put me in a better mood on a rainy afternoon is rainboots! So many styles and prints to choose from...you know that you'll find a great pair that will make you want to go splash in the puddles.

I just got word of a fabulous rainboot company called Plueys. They have so many amazing boots at rather reasonable prices. They currently have a new limited edition design created by print and pattern maker Marceline Smith from Scotland. The design is called SEW CUTE. It is a collage of vintage buttons, inspired by the souks and bustling markets of Marakesh, Morrocco. Sew Cute slim fit rainboot features a unique matte texture. It is comfortably lined with a deep olive cotton lining printed with the exclusive Marceline Smith signature logo.

Right now all of Snapshot Fashion's readers are getting a special deal on their rainboots. Receive 10% off by typing in the word snapshotfashion at checkout. This deal will be available through October 31st.

Pick of the Day

One item I just can't get enough of..................TOTE BAGS!!! You really should see my closet, I think I have about 10 totes. And I'm always on the lookout for some new ones.


Not only do they make a great purse, but they are so friendly for the environment. Personally, I am ALWAYS using totes when I go to the farmer's market. What do you use your favorite tote bag for?

What I really love is totes that are bright in color and fun in design. Something eye catching! So when I came across these adorable LauLau bags you know I instantly fell in love with them.

So ditch the plastic bags at the stores and be a chic shopper with these LauLau bags! Which bag in their collection is your favorite? I'm really loving the polka-dot one.  :-)

Life of Rocko

So in the past I have mentioned my little Lhasa-Poo, Rocko. He loves watching me work on my blog. So when I asked him if he wanted one of his own he said, WOOF! I'll take that as a yes.  :-)


So if you have a moment, stop on over and check out Life of Rocko!

Dress Like a Celebrity

Lately Drew Barrymore has been out and about promoting her new movie, Going the Distance (which I really want to see by the way!). While making appearances on talk shows I noticed one thing that she loves...her YSL grey platform pumps.


I love seeing that some celebs wear certain pieces over and over again. It just makes them seem more human to me. What I love about what Drew does here is she really wears them with everything. She dresses them up...then dresses them down.

Do you adore Drew's shoes, but don't have close to $800 to afford them. No worries. I found two great alternatives that will give you a similar look but won't break the bank.





What do you think about suede platform pumps? I just love them...especially for the fall. Your thoughts???
