I say don’t wait for Spring to carry a bright bag, couldn’t your Winter outfits use a little pick-me-up? Yellow goes wonderfully with gray (my favorite color!), white, and navy. If you’re feeling brave, you could wear yellow with purple, or kelly green…that would be pretty, but too much color for me!
Would you wear a yellow bag? With what?
Oh, and check out LOTS more of my favorite yellow bags on pintrest. I could use a follow or two also
This week’s Refinery29 Reserve deal is AMAZING!! Spend $88 and get 2 pairs of prescription glasses (frames & lenses) from Lookmatic (formerly SpexClub). I have three pairs of glasses and one pair of sunglasses from them, and I couldn’t be happier. My latest pair is the Parker style in Tortoiseshell (seen here); I think they’re my favorite out of all of them…
I also have the oscar style in clear, and they’re really fun. If you wear Rx glasses, this is a no-brainer – you can have enough different frames to suit your moods! I love it 
Holiday shopping days are upon us! (or are you finished already?) We really don’t do a lot of gift-giving in my family but it certainly doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy shopping for them, or dreaming about what I’d love to receive And generally that’s how I approach gift-shopping: if I love it, they’ll love it. But also I think of the person and then try to find them something they would love, but never buy for themselves. Voila! The perfect gift.
So, each day for the next week I’ll be featuring my favorite gift pick from Grechen’s Closet partners AND then give you a chance to WIN IT. Today, it’s the orange foldover clutch by ARCADE at ARCADE Boutique.
I’ve featured this lovely clutch before, and now I’m so excited to be able to give one away, thanks to ARCADE!! Although generally I stick with neutral colors for my clothing, I love to carry a colorful bag, and orange is my favorite non-neutral color. The contrasting colors are great, and I love the foldover style; it gives the clutch a bit more interest in my opinion.
I would be super-excited to receive this as a gift, and I know a few people who would love it also. Would you?

Earrings: Fortune Favors the Brave (of a kind)
Bag: Alexander Wang Rocco with Resin studs
Sweater: A.L.C.
Shoes: Rachel Comey
Bear with me here…I’m going stream of consciousness:
um. did you SEE THE Rachel Comey shoes in the newest Anthropologie catalog? I need them. They make me smile. They are insane. In a perfect way.
And of course every time I think I’m over the Rocco bag, Alexander Wang goes and does something interesting to it. This time, it’s a smooth leather and resin “rivets” on the botton. I saw this in person yesterday and while I’m not quite sold on the smooth leather, I LOVE the clear resin rivets. And the color. It’s lighter than the classic version too. (also a little cheaper!)
I also saw the A.L.C. cardigan in person yesterday and it is TDF. The asymmetric zipper makes it. When do you think I’ll get tired of asymmetrical things? ever?
What are you obsessed with?
