Alexa Chung and Madewell madness.

For those that like my FaceBook page, you already know what this post is going to be about. Alexa Chung. And Madewell.

Allow me to take you on a journey through my thought process.

First, Alexa Chung is by far my all-time, biggest style inspiration. Period. Simple makeup and hair paired with style combinations that look effortlessly pulled together, mix classic and edge and are complimentary to her shape. Summarized in three words: patterned, layered and leggy. Here are some of my fave looks to-date.







THEN, while reading my InStyle the other day I saw she was working with Madewell to create a line of clothing... OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY!



SO, I decided to cruise Madewell's site today only to discover their amazingly fantastical fall lookbook which - naturally - I just had to share. While not a huge fan of the styling (what's with the not ironed shirts and misaligned sweaters? C'mon!), I can definitely see it shining a ton of inspiration on my wardrobe and is making me kind of want to get suspenders! Again, all photos from Madewell's fall lookbook, here.

And, for those that haven't seen Alexa Chung's InStyle spread, go and buy the mag immediately. She is stunning and her clothing choices are unique and every bit her style.

love the calf-grazing skirt with tie up booties

loving the cropped pants (even though not ironed) and the oxford shoes


like the monochromatic (fix your shirt!) belted layers with
unexpected twist of the hiking boots

want - no NEED - this dress
cute cardi but why's it got to be all crooked?

fuchsia and yellow, such a strong yet warm color combo
also am going to need that bag, STAT.

suspender obsession beginning... now.
love the suede tie up booties

Loving this blog: The City Flea

Staying in the spirit of thrifting, I came across this blog while searching FaceBook for the Cincinnati Fashion Week (starts on Monday!) page. A modest blog with a big mission, I quickly became lost in the blog and full of anticipation.

The blog is chock full of design inspiration and updates on the status of their primary cause, a flea market-style shopping experience in the heart of the Queen City. With what seems to be a great deal of inspiration taken from the Brooklyn Flea, this experience is focused on city dwellers with some extra cash burning a hole in their pockets and an eye for style and design.

If May is anythign like April, June 4th will be here in the blink of an eye. Check it out for more info!
