Winter Coat Ready

November 25, 2015 2 Comments

The coolest coats of the season are upon us. As much as I want to buy a coat, I have TOO many! However, if you're looking to purchase some stylish outerwear - I've got you covered. My personal pick is definitely the icon Trench coat in wool-cashmere by Jcrew - and guess what? It is on SALE right now for 30% off! It comes in 4 different colors, but I'd choose the all black. I also included a super cool leather fringe scarf by Mackage that I love! I've never seen anything like that in a winter accessories before. DEF a +

JEN'S FESTIVE GIFT IDEAS: KIDDOS

December 18, 2014 1 Comment

Edit

Anyone know someone who is having a baby? If you do, then I pulled together some great gift ideas for you! We're in the process of adoption & I admit (even though we a have a ways to go), I've purchased a couple of things, as I like to be hopeful. One thing I purchased is my favorite childhood book called Corduroy by Don Freeman. - Have you read it? Sweetest story ever for kids.

I picture myself reading this book to my child as they smile & ask me questions about Corduroy....

Oh & don't forget the personalized prints we sell at Made By Girl. You can add any color & name you like! These are ideal for kids learning the alphabet + you can use them to teach kids how to spell their names too!! Neat huh? Happy Shopping!

7 Stylish Booties

November 11, 2014 7 Comments

Edit

One of my favorite styles of shoe is the bootie. I love them because they look really good with jeans & sometimes short skirts. What a better season to wear them then Fall...right? There are hundreds of styles out there so I decided to pull some of my favorites for you.

I KNOW some of you may NOT wear #1 or #7 - they're def a little wild, but I say experiment a little & try something different. Black all the time can be boring! - Happy shopping!

JCREW is one of my favorite brands, with stores all over the USA - they are always on top of their game. The brand is mostly casual, yet chic. One of my favorite must-have items are the JCREW skirts & denim.

They always have amazing selections & you can mix & match pieces very easily. With Summer still here, and Fall just around the corner....I put together 4 possible outfits you can wear during the warmer daytime weather & cooler nights. I love visiting the store here in NYC - it's always fun to walk in & see all the new stuff! Check them out & feel free to visit JCREW for more!

This Mother's Day....

May 3, 2012 27 Comments

Edit

I'm not a mom, but I have one & I love her. She's the most amazing person. She's kind, generous, considerate, brave, motivated, eats healthy, is full of life, loves me, gives to others she doesn't even know, & she loves God.

Actually, the list could go on & on. My mother deserves more than what I could ever give her. She's a HIP mom, always in trend & keeping up with the latest fashions. I love how she notices little things, like when I would stack my bracelets & so she did the same. She's also into COLORFUL denim, who knew?!? I love that about her!!!!!!!

So, this Mother's day I've decided to give her a check so she could go shopping. The past few Mother's days I bought her gifts, but this time I wanted her to get herself something. I admit, I don't always hit a home run when it comes to buying gifts, in fact I'm just NOT good at it. Are you???

I've selected a few goodies from some of my favorite online shops (there are many) & thought my mom would enjoy these! Of course, she could go elsewhere, but I saw these & thought of her.

What are you thinking of getting MOM this mother's day??

The Leopard Print Fuss...

August 8, 2011 48 Comments

Hello everyone! Sorry I didn't post on Friday...we're super BUSY with orders as well as getting ready to launch the NEWLY designed Made By Girl site! Exciting!!!

Anyway....while at the mall this weekend, I noticed that Leopard print is EVERYWHERE! In fact every shoe store I walked into had some leopard print heels!!! No kidding!

Have you noticed this as well??!?

I'm NOT complaining, I love this pattern! In fact, I wore my leopard peep toe heels with a green dress to church this Sunday! But I love leopard print shoes for business trips, it really accentuates any solid colored outfit!

Someone emailed me asking if I would display some of my LEOPARD print items....so here it is! I have an extensive collection in my home, from pillows to fashion accessories! In this post I decided to highlight some of my (already purchased) favorites for you to see! My latest purchase was this iPhone case from JCrew which is adorable....!!

4 Things I bought this weekend...

July 18, 2011 38 Comments

Edit

Hello everyone! Welcome back...! Sorry I didn't get a chance to post the normal 'My Weekend' post, but I got crazy busy & then decided to go bowling and so on.

Over the weekend, I was thinking of ways to SPICE up my wardrobe with some interesting items, so I bought 4 NEW things...well, the jeans not yet but I'll explain that below.

(1) The Elements of Personal Style - I've REALLY been obsessed with fashion blogs lately (as you can see from my posts lately)...so I thought it would only be appropriate to buy a book about personal style! This particular one was recommended to me by a friend & I can't wait for it to arrive!

(2) JCrew Leopard iPhone Case- After seeing this case on Brooklyn Blonde's blog- I had to have it! The picture featured in this post with the pretty blue nails is of Helena's hand (Brooklyn Blonde) & her blog is now one of my fave fashion blogs! This case is super chic & affordable at only $22.50!!

(3) The Chelsea Red Skinny Jean by Joe's Jeans - Ok, this one is the ONLY one I didn't get yet. I've looked up & down & all around the net for some super cute (LONG) red skinny jeans. I don't like Capri, & for some reason most of the ones I've come across have been Capri...what the?!? Well, Joe's has this one, and it's exactly what I was looking for - I hope! We shall see if I make the purchase.

(4) Essie polish Color 'Vermillionaire'- This was an easy purchase. I like the color orange as polish and maybe even on a clutch...but that's pretty much it..... I think!! I can't see myself wearing orange pants, but RED, yea....weird huh?? Anyhow, this color is currently on my toes & nails, and I love it! It's bright and looks awesome if you have a tan.

Jenna Lyon's Townhouse....(My Dream Home)

June 18, 2010 12 Comments

Edit

I know you've all seen Jenna Lyon's townhouse about a MILLION TIMES. It's been featured in several magazine like Living Etc. and on a ton of blogs. Jenna's home is probably my all time favorite home that I've seen online. It's creative, not outrageously LARGE, and it's a townhouse (very much my style). I'm really drawn to the dark wood floors, the empire chandeliers as well as her choice of furniture and rug styles. Her home was designed by Leveson McDavid Architects.

Thanks to Jenna for her inspirational digs!

Above: my favorite room in her home is this living room. I really like the faux fur against the dark chairs and the bright yellow 2 seater lends a perfect pop of color to this space! Let's NOT forget the amazing chandelier...this definitely adds a touch of glam along with the zebra skin rug.

Above: The fact that you can see straight through her home from end-to-end is just stunning! That is why I adore town homes.

Above: Let's get something straight here....how many of you have an ENTIRE room for a closet??!? Probably not many of us. Perhaps this is why we can't get enough of her closet room. It's like a DREAM come true!!!!

Above: One of the cutest and most daring nurseries I've seen online. The part that stands out the most are the STRIPES on the ceiling. I also loved the two back to back faux furs on the floor for a soft and furry feel!

Jenna Lyons, is the creative director of JCrew and she is such a fashion icon. I remember seeing her home for the first time in Domino magazine. Her brownstone apartment, her large wardrobe closet....so beautiful! I found this interview with Jenna Lyons at the Huffington Post and was such a pleasure to read...don't you just love her office?? You can read it for yourself here.
