equipped

Meghan — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:08:36 +0000

Equipment blouse, DL 1961 denim (c/o Invista Lycra), Nine West boots (c/o), LOFT faux fur vest, Foley + Corinna bag (love this color also), Stella McCartney glasses, assorted bracelets from Kate Spade (thanks, andrea!) and BaubleBar (c/o)

Some of you may recall my asking your opinion last week on what Equipment blouse to get next so I thought I’d share the one I ended up with this week! Thanks for all your opinions- I loved hearing what you thought

My mom was in town this weekend and it was so nice to show her my new place, new neighborhood and eat our way through the city. I paired these Nine West boots which I love given their versatility with my comfy, stretchy DL 1961 jeans.

Also, did you know that you could win a year’s supply of Equipment? They are running a contest to offer just that on their site right now and they also are now offering online shopping…*dreams*. I entered, you should, too.

Happy Hump day and almost New York Fashion Week!

spirit

Meghan — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:45:04 +0000

Joie blouse, Gryphon skirt, Christian Louboutin shoes, Rebecca Minkoff clutch (sample sale score!), Kenneth Jay Lane necklace (c/o Thomas Laine), Jewlmint rings (c/o), J.Crew tights, Karen Walker sunglasses

These photos have been hiding on my hard drive and I just re-surfaced them. This is what I wore on Christmas Day. A touch of holiday spirit through a sparkly Gryphon skirt and rather simple in all other manners. It was unseasonably warm at home in Chicago for this time of year but I have to tell you, I kind of loved it, even though I missed having a white Christmas. I’ve since worn this skirt a few more times and this Kenneth Jay Lane necklace has become a staple in my go-to jewelry each day.

denim days

Meghan — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:06:11 +0000

James Jeans Couture Skinny 1285 Vesper jeans, Vince sweater (last seen here), J.Crew blouse, Steven by Steve Madden boots, Shopbop Bop Basics scarf (similar), Vintage gloves, J.Crew coat, Foley + Corinna bag

I’m a denim girl. I wear jeans most days and you can usually find me pairing skinny jeans with a blouse & heels at night and with boots & a sweater at work. Henceforth (yes, henceforth), I was excited to try a pair from the new James Jeans Couture Collection. They conform to your body while being super stretchy and also come in a really dark wash which I loved. James Jeans makes awesome jeans, period (another pair I love are here). I loved pairing the Couture Collection ones with layers in Georgetown while in DC this past weekend.

Meghan — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:00:14 +0000

Zara Sweater, J.Crew coat, J Brand denim, Steven by Steve Madden boots, Brahmin Julia Rose Satchel bag (c/o), Stella McCartney sunglasses, Banana Republic scarf, La Mer watch, Alex & Ani necklace

As you may have read, I spent the weekend in Washington DC with Taylor. It was the perfect few days spent outside of New York City and wonderful to spend time with some family (before my brother moves to South Africa in a few weeks!) I have more photos to share, but here’s what I wore the majority of the weekend- jeans, a cozy sweater and this great Brahmin bag that fits SO much in it. I didn’t have a proper satchel, but this Brahmin bag fits the bill now and is great for travel.

Thanks for stopping by and happy Tuesday!

time for rugby

Meghan — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:18:09 +0000

Rugby Ralph Lauren sweater (gifted), J.Crew turtleneck, J Brand denim, Frye boots, Jewelmint (gifted) and Alex and Ani necklaces, Ray Ban sunnies

I have been wearing this sweater more than I care to admit. It so cozy and warm that you just want to be wrapped up in it all the time. I’ve long loved Ralph Lauren so was thrilled when they asked me to style a piece from their Rugby line. I’m going to be living in this sweater even more with NYC’s plunging temperatures.

Happy Tuesday and thanks so much for stopping by

basics

Meghan — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:41:19 +0000

Vince sweater, J Brand denim (similar), Ralph Lauren boots, Kooba bag (c/o), Karen Walker sunglasses, LYLIF Twisted Chains necklace (c/o), CCSkye bracelet, La Mer watch, David Yurman ring (c/o of The Vogue Influencer Network)

To say I’m in love with this Vince chunky sweater would be a gross understatement. Since getting it I have worn it so many times and love how cozy it is for this time of year. Alicia and I actually had a whole conversation last night over cocktails about how much we love it as she has it in both colors (gray here). These photos were taken on my first day back functioning like a normal human after a horrible cold knocked me out while home in Chicago over Thanksgiving. Sweaters + jeans = my basic uniform for when I’m home.

How was everyone’s weekend? I spent mine at two holiday parties, packing and seeing Memphis with family!

psst.- I’m over on the Rebecca Minkoff blog today in great company!

Meghan — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 14:00:53 +0000

The Limited sweater (c/0), J.Crew skirt, Steven by Steve Madden boots, DKNY tights, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, Ray Ban wayfarers

This past Sunday I soaked up more of the last of the beautiful weather with a busy day that included brunch in the meatpacking district with friends Tara (in from San Francisco!) and Eliot.I wore my new cozy and oh so comfortable and versatile sweater from The Limited. It’s definitely coming home with me for the holidays to dress up and dress down. And the charcoal gray is the perfect color for this New York weather of recent, too!

Sunday was closed out by a jaunt up to my soon-to-be old neighborhood, the Upper East Side with Taylor and Hailey.

ps. don’t forget! last couple of days to enter to win these shoes.

pps. I move next week, who wants to help me pack this weekend? anyone? anyone?

Theory blouse, Urban Outfitter blazer, 7 for All Mankind jeans (c/o), Rebecca Minkoff bag (c/o), Bauble Bar necklace and bangles, Ray Ban aviators, David Yurman ring (c/o The Vogue Influencer Network), H&M boots, Michael Kors watch

This past weekend was full of fun activities and time spent with friends. I even got to go to Saturday Night Live! Talk about one of the coolest things I’ve ever done (#dreams).

It also included my first trip to the Woodbury Commons (holy outlets overload) where I picked up this ladylike Theory blouse for only $35 (!) and my first blowout. I ended the weekend by spending time at Grounded for a coffee date with Julienne and catching up with ms. Taylor by strolling around Chelsea.
