Outfit: Zara hat, Fifteen-Twenty silk tank, Identify leather jacket (similar), 7 for All Mankind Skinny Velvet Pants (so soft they double as pajamas) and Tory Burch ankle booties (similar) As soon as I saw this maroon fedora, I knew I had to have it. It’s so different from anything I own. It seems cool and eclectic, and the jewel embellishments really make it something special. I pranced around Zara (much to the annoyance of my shopping buddy) already imagining how I would wear it: in the snow, at a music festival in the desert, to run errands on a bad…
I first developed my style crush on Megan Rutledge when we took Communication Law together last year. Every day, she waltzed into class with an outfit more colorful than the last. I envied her bold take on mixing patterns and prints. Plus, she was the proud owner of a pink sparkly laptop case—that’s soul sister material in my book. I got to know Megan better last semester in our Fashion Journalism class. I loved editing Megan’s articles, because they were so her. I always knew Megan wrote the article without having to look at her byline. Megan’s voice is uniquely…
I love the full skirt and pretty pleats on this Forever21 dress for a whimsical touch. The gold metallic threading also adds a subtle shine that I can’t get enough of. To cinch my waist, I “borrowed” (with no plans of returning) my mom’s Badgley Mischka belt. It’s a gorgeous investment with its 1920s art-deco coolness. My Guess shoes (similar) reflect the season as well. They’re a bright, memorable color but also a closet classic shape. I know I’ll be breaking them out well after the last drop of champagne and the holiday festivities are over. How do you stylishly…
I originally fell in love with Anne Sisteron’s jewelry on my 18th birthday. My parents graciously gave me a dainty pink amethyst ring that I still wear every day. I call it my good luck charm : ) Anne Sisteron, a jet-setting model turned designer, is making sure Santa comes early this year! Anne is offering one diamond love ring in rose gold to lucky Brooke du jour readers! To enter, all you have to do is “like” Brooke du jour AND Anne Sisteron Fine Jewelry on Facebook, and leave me a comment below saying you did so. I’ll use a random online generator to…
Have you gotten into the swing of the holiday season yet? I have! Tacky Christmas sweater parties are all over my calendar. Zooey Deschanel’s quirky Christmas CD is on repeat, and I’ve certainly done my fair share of holiday shopping. Now two finals are all that stand in my way from trimming the tree with my family. I also can’t wait to build a gingerbread house with my besties from back home. It’s okay if I eat our dilapidated creation as soon as it’s done, right? I can never resist fur, jewels and sequins around the holiday season. I know, I’m…
