I love having nice things, but I hate having to pay full price for them. Luckily, thanks to the constant surge of merchandise coming in the doors at T.J.Maxx & Marshalls, you can truly take advantage of the amazing savings and get practically everyone on your gift list checked off. There are great items for the hostess, for children, for new parents, for granparents who “have it all,” for the best friend, and more.

At the brands’ holiday event this year, I was asked, in advance, to answer ” Who is someone special on your holiday list that you’d like to “wow” with a great gift this year?” and I picked my future parents-in-law. T.J.Maxx & Marshalls was kind enough to provide the gift, already beautifully wrapped, for me to deliver to them under the tree– I can’t wait to find out what is in store for them! Who would you like to wow this holiday season? I bet you can do it at the stores — check out the slideshow above for my favorite picks from the holiday event, that were are varied as we are as individuals!

Rocking a Bright Trend for Fall 2012

by

What’s your favorite season for fashion? For me, summer is still #1, but the fall is sliding into an almost even tie with it, and is securely posted up at slot #2. One great thing about fall is that you can stretch your summer pieces, and color palette a little longer! According to a study by T.J.Maxx and Marshalls, “83% of ladies in New York are also rocking bold colors in their wardrobe this fall,” so more than just me has the idea to work in some vibrant hues! Neon, which were so popular this past summer, looks quite fabulous with the more neutral hues of autumn, especially shades of beige, taupe, khaki, and even chocolate brown.

I made my “neon for fall” look office-friendly with a neon and khaki knit dress, converted into a skirt by layering a striped and ruffled button-down blouse, brown tights, shoes, and a lightweight leather jacket with the piece.  I absolutely LOVE a good geometric print – and it pretty much perfectly matches my favorite Rebecca Minkoff handbag!

What bright color are you wearing this fall?

Saying Goodbye to Summer…with a Pop of Yellow!

by


I always get so bummed around Labor Day, when the change in the season is eminent, and I must come to terms that my favorite season, the glorious summer, is coming to a close. Do you get melancholy when a particular season ends?

I always consider it an added bonus when, in September, the temperature soars above 80 degrees, and this week granted one of those days. I had to break out my incredibly light, full-length pleated Michael by Michael Kors skirt and a tissue thin LAmade tee, paired with a lightweight cardigan in order to not freeze in air-conditioned buildings. Overall. it was a good summer, of fashion, travel and fun, and now onto what lies ahead with the fall! And hey, now we can enthusiastically try out those trends we spotted on the runways in February for fall 2012!

A Cuff Above

by

Believe it or not, I had actually hemmed these white pants, but when I wore them into work in the morning with my flats, they actually were still touching the ground in the back-darn! I cuffed them up so they wouldn’t become instantly dirty during my commute, but by the time I got to work, I was really digging the cuffed look, which felt spot-on for summer. Are cuffs making a come back? I have a feeling that I wouldn’t be surprised to see it happening; it’s been a while since they have surfaced, so they are most likely long overdue for a trend resurgence. Back to the look: brights, pastels, earth tones, white, and neutrals ALL ended up surfacing in this look; I think what majorly attributed to it working cohesively is the absence of prints — just a tiny bit of patterning was found, via the polka dots on my bracelets and my bag. My tops continued my favorite color scheme from last summer, which I dubbed, “mustard and ketchup cool.”
