DesigNation for Kohls: THAKOON

thakoonSeptember 10th

Welcome September!! The month when all my fall fashion dreams come true. Aside from the festivities going on this month, Kohl’s has two major launches to add to the fun! The first is designer Thakoon Panichgul, and his new collection for Kohl’s fits my style to a T! The British inspired collection has the colors and textures that fit the season.

Preview the collection HEREcollageDo you see all the bordeaux? I can’t handle it! That flannel vest is going to be my fall staple…I just know it. The collection launches the first day of #NYFW so September 10th is going to be a great day for me! I can set some of my apartment decorating to the side for this.

Speaking of the apartment….I am all moved in! I just hung my bordeaux curtains last night. With the help of Pier 1, Kohl’s, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond, my place is definitely coming together. Once I find where to put these 3 boxes of shoes, I will start sharing the details!

What is the second launch Kohl’s has? Stay tuned!

Moving Day

It is hard to contain my excitement! Although I am exhausted, today is the day that I complete the move. Living in downtown Milwaukee is going to be a blast and we all know I’m a city girl so its perfect. I’m curious to see how long I stay in the big city, but for now, it feels right.

I am super anxious to show you all the final product once I am done decorating (and finding a way to condense my three closets that I have now). My apartment has a small cozy feel to it which I am going to love! It has little details in it that sold me. For example, in the kitchen, there is a small window with a cute little ledge and it is perfect for sitting on the counter and just viewing the city:imagePS. That is chai flavored ice cream I’m eating. Yes. Purple Door Ice Cream in Milwaukee is fueling my addiction. Currently that is the only food in my fridge! hehe

Well, wish me luck as I guide the movers, unpack the boxes, and hang the mirrors. The rooms are going to fill up quickly today and it will all come together! And it will be nice to have a couch to sit on versus my little storage guy here:image

Lets do this!

Celebrating Marsala

Fall is right around the corner and everyone is stocking up on their fall pieces! I thought it would be a good time to cherish Patone’s color of the year with my Marsala and Bordeaux must have pieces!
color2You can only imagine my excitement when Patone announced the color of the year and it happened to be my fav color of all time. I stick to referring it to Bordeaux, but Marsala is close enough in my book!

Every year during August, regardless of trends, I always stock up on everything in this color-shoes, bags, sweaters, nail polish. Once I have all that stuff down, then I will continue to focus on trends. This part of my fall check list does not take long though, because I am good at hunting down my color!

So here are all my Marsala and Bordeaux picks for fall 2015:

I hope you’re as excited for fall as I am! To even be able to focus on fashion again because of the big move would be nice. I’m sure you are all probably forgetting what I look like!! This time of year was not a smart time to move. Fall fashion and September are the best months out of the year for me, and unfortunately they are going to be clouded by the busy yet fabulous move. Fear not…once I get settled I will focus on sharing my new place with you and dressing for fall!
