Bring on Banana Republic - Work Gets Chic

I think it's official...I'm addicted to Banana Republic. I guess for where I am in life, it makes sense...BR is one of few stores that offers clothing you can wear for work and play.

Especially considering the majority of my time is spent at work, and I've just started a new project, having nice clothes for work

Fear not, the fun outfits will still be coming out in full force...they just

Sorry for the lack of posts over the weekend. Blogger's robots, for some reason, thought my blog may be spam? Silly Blogger. Anywho, they locked my blog until they could review it, so this is the first I've been able to post.

My Tallest Heels

Channeling Jessica Alba

There's just something about the "tough girl" look that I love. I like to dress myself depending on my mood, and sometimes, nothing fits the bill like an outfit a la Angelina Jolie's vampy chic look. Don't get me wrong, I still love to dress preppy, but when I saw this page of People's Style watch mag awhile back, I knew I had to find these smokin' motorcycle boots:People Style Watch - Fall
