"A-Little Obsessed" with fellow blogger

I couldn't help it. I slipped on a search and tumbled into love. The other day, I was doing a Google Image Search looking for a military-inspired jacket for my post on SJP when I came upon this fabulous Fall story.

This is such a cozy mood board and I still want everything.

I swear each one of those items has been on my "Need" list at least once before. But to see them all together, just hanging out like the effortlessly cool girl this collection so perfectly embodies, was just too much. My eyes came to a screeching halt and for a moment, I was lost to the endless possibilities between these must-haves and my closet. It was torture! Immediately my "Need" list upgraded to include each and every one of those items. So many options, so little time. When? When would I have the time to find these things!? I distracted myself from the question and contacted the blogger instead, happy to gush to her about how in love I was with her collection of Fall pieces. Interesting Fact: a-littleobsessed is a blogger based in London! Either she needs to move here or I need to more there. Something's gotta give. Her name is Sabrina and I foresee myself 'obsessing' about her blog on a daily basis. Hello RSS feed! :)

I must say that being a personal shopper and stylist has it's advantages. I'm out in the stores A LOT and I also shop a lot online. I get to see what's current in that moment. The good news is that Aldo has a similar platform wedge

and personal online favorite, ModCloth.com, has TONS of chunky knit sweaters- like this one

right now. Two things I look forward to checking off the list, Christmas or "Need".

Update Your Look for Spring- Victoria's Secret makes it easy on your wallet!

We're back and living in post-wedding bliss- well not really.  We've both been sick and down, which probably has something to do with the fact that it snowed in Colorado, Paris, AND England... It snowed the entire time we were gone (45 days).  Fall/Winter is usually my favorite time of year, mostly because I love cold weather fashion.  But after all that snow, it left me with a major urge to buy some bright and cheery Spring fashions.

But post-honeymoon in Europe, we are a bit tight on funds at the moment.  So I turned to one of my trusted sources of cheap fashion: Victoria's Secret!  What surprises me is that there are still women who don't know that Victoria's Secret carries clothing, not just bras and panties.  Here are some of the pieces I am buying to update my Spring wardrobe.

One Shoulder Dress $88

Printed Strapless Sweetheart Dress $88 and High Collar Cardigan $29

Strapless Smocked Dress $55

Yoga Slashed Leggings $32.50

Soft and Sexy Wrap $39

Kimono Wrap Dress $108

There are so many more styles at great prices, worth checking out.  You can tell I am obviously a big fan of dresses, especially for Spring.  What's your Spring fashion staple?
