Ethnic-y, vintage-y, shimmery and statement-y. It's pretty much everything I could want in a jacket!

1. Alexander Wang pleated top,
2. Monsoon embellished jacket,
3. M Missoni woven bucket bag,
4. Aquazurra cut-out sandals,
5. Paige jeans,

This is a seriously cute fix for those challenging run-out-the-door days. BTW: how good is that chain-link detailing?

Happiness is wearing this candy-hued sequin jacket. Especially on a Monday.

The cerulean blue hue. The furry texture. The boxy cut. I like!

If you're going to go big, go all the way, I say. This dress would take me there, just like that.

Found: a glamorous answer to the unglamorous destination (gym, school, market etc.) outfit question...

It's rare to find a bag that's as roomy, errand-proof, iPad-accommodating, and perhaps most importantly (for me) Lego project-friendly as it is fantastically chic. And how about those red zippers?!

This spot-on structured wool motorcycle jacket is still another reason to give thanks for the awesomeness that is H&M's new shoppable site. It's not available in stores, but if it were, it undoubtedly would be sold out everywhere. P.S. It's a little oversize, so you may even want to order a size down.

Back to school. Back to work. Back to reality. Slipping into this one-step-chic (Isabel Marant-ish) dress would mean one less thing to stress about.

There's something different and maybe even a bit rebellious about a wool motorcycle jacket. Which makes this Topshop version extra cool. (P.S. Topshop also just came out with the best and elegant satin-looking --two potential workhorses for the fall!)
